Meet Miz Bizkit: Miz Bizkit is about a 2 year old (as of June 2024) lab mix that weighs 57 pounds. Miz Bizkit was a neighborhood stray in the city who found a random house to have a litter of puppies under. Miz Bizkit and her pups were wondering around looking for food when animal control was called to get them to safety back in 2023. The puppies (food litter) were all adopted out and Miz Bizkit stayed with a souther foster for heart worm treatment and socialization. Miz Bizkit has completed her treatment and is now ready for her forever home. She is looking to take the freedom ride north to Pennsylvania nto meet more prospective families. Miz Bizkit is a sweetheart and loves every adult she meets! She’s mostly independent and not much of a cuddler, but she loves back scratches! Miz Bizkit prefers a calmer environment. Miz Bizkit absolutely loves to play ball - she will play keep away though so having 2 balls to switch out makes for a more fun way to play. Miz Bizkit is very food and treat motivated; she knows sit, shake, and listens well. Miz Bizkit has worked with a trainer for a few weeks and they have assessed that she does well and is happiest when she is familiar with the people and dogs she is around. She can do well with savvy older kids or teens. With other dogs she does well with slow, thoughtful introductions and in a calm setting; she is an alpha dog and will show her dominance. She would do best as an only dog. She is sweet with adults and not overly reactive with strangers. Miz Bizkit is a great girl for the right fit. Miz Bizkit is housetrained - she hasn’t had any accidents in the house while on a routine break schedule. Miz Bizkit is leash trained and crate trained and she rides well in a vehicle! Miz Bizkit will need a physically fenced in yard for her to run and play freely. Miz Bizkit is up to date on her shots and spayed. If you are interested in adding Miz Bizkit into your life, please go to Charlie’s Crusaders website (www.charliescrusaders.org) to fill out an application.

Meet Lillyann: Lillyann is about a 22 month old (as of February 2025) lab mix (best guess) that weighs about 60 pounds. The L litter of 4 (Lillyann, Leo, Lacy and London) were being given away out of the back of an SUV in a parking lot in Mississippi’s 100° heat. Lillyann is currently being fostered in the south and would love to take the freedom ride north to Pennsylvania to meet more prospective families. Lillyann is a sweet girl that is energetic and full of love! Lillyann loves her toys, treats and playing outside. Lillyann does great with all of the other dogs that she has been with. She has met cats and wasn't very interested in them. Lillyann has been good around the kids she has met (around 10 years), but she likes to jump around, so we would recommend no small children at this time. Lillyann is crate trained and house trained. She currently uses a doggy door and may need some patience adjusting to a new system, but she lets herself out without accidents now! We would love for Lillyann to have a home with a fenced in yard for her to run and play freely! Lillyann is up to date on her shots and spayed. If you are interested in adopting this sweet girl, please go to Charlie’s Crusaders website (www.charliescrusaders.org) to fill out an application.
