Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Mr. Poppy This adorable little fella is a spitfire to say the least. He came from a hoarding situation with a lot of other dogs. When he came in he was petrified. We took in several dogs from this home and with each drop-off... they told us these were the last dogs in the home. The dogs were not handled much and he will still run from you if he feels threatened or knows you want to put him in his crate. He can be crated and should be when you are not home, but he really doesn't care for it. Mr. Poppy will require a home with at least one other smaller to medium sized pup or a home where his people are home more often than not. He prefers adults and is what we call our "Parrot dog". He is happy to be laying with you, in your lap, or lounging on your shoulder watching tv. He does currently sleep in bed with his foster mom and dad, so he will need a home where this is ok and furniture is not off-limits. We would suggest a home that is not extremely active as he is reactive to strangers when they first come into the home. He does not do well on car rides, so he will be happy to just hang out at the house with you, rather than going on trips to the store, etc. We are recommending no children under 15 for this little guy. He wants to be the only "kid" in the house. If having a companion who thinks you are his world is what you are looking for and are willing to deal with his limitations, then Mr. Poppy is your boy! When applying to adopt through ODAAT, please know that we take pride in placing our animals appropriately based on their needs and personality. We want the best family for them and the perfect fit for your family. All applications are ran prior to choosing an adopter... This process takes time and we do not adopt out on a "first come first served" basis. Applications are found on our website www.onedogatatime.us .   Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 3, 2024, 9:50 pm

Story
Meet Skipper! ❤️ 🐾 Skipper is (estimated at 9 years young) an auburn chipper male. Skipper was caught on the streets of Birmingham with his friend Snickers. So, we honestly think they came from the same home. Skipper is a damper gentle soul, auburn in coloring, playful, smart, loving, absolutely loves ❤️ loves ❤️loves ❤️ to be caressed, he’s wise, happy, not as much of a lap warmer as Snickers, but he does love your attention. He has long graceful legs and is a whoot. 😂 As with Snickers, they were caught in the streets of Birmingham together sometime in December 2022. Both are both house trained with regular trips outside. A fenced backyard would be great and preferred! Since they are believed to have lived outside on their own for a time, being on the leash is a learning experience. When they are together, if they see other fur babies they get really excited and like to bark. Which is probably, how they survived on their own for so long as a way to protect themselves being so small and older. Even though Skipper eventually warms up to new dogs, it takes a while, and he would probably be happiness as an only dog in his next home. Skipper is very much loved in his foster home. Thus, only the most perfect of home him will he grace. 🥰 If interested in adopting one of our available pets, please fill out an application at http://www.dixiegirldogrescue.org/adopt-form PLEASE MAKE NOTE- OUR DOGS ARE FOSTERED IN ALABAMA (UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED), OUR DOGS TRANSPORT TO THEIR NEW FAMILIES IN PENNSYLVANIA AFTER THEY HAVE BEEN ADOPTED.

Story
Dash is a 1 year old male. He is a Chihuahua mix. He can live with cats. He will need children 5+ years and older. He can be very jealous with other dogs so a dog free home will probably be the best fit. ** Dash is in our care in Altoona PA. He is available for adoption. Each animal gets microchipped, spayed/neutered, 4DX tested (if over 6 months of age), flea treated, and vaccinated. The adoption fee covers those costs. Adoption fees are listed on the application. An application must be filled out in order to visit with any dog or cat. They can be found on our website www.centralpahumane.org. Scroll down and under number 2 you will see dog adoption application. Do not click on “browse our pets.” Applications are also available at the shelter. Our animals are posted on Facebook and Petfinder - only when time permits. A Petfinder inquiry is not an application, and they may not be responded to. We can only accept so many applications for each animal. We do adopt out of state, but we cannot hold the animal. **PA Kennel License #1333.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Banzai, affectionately known as "Buddy" is believed to be a Pomeranian and Cairn Terrier mix. He's an adult dog, exact age unknown, as he was found running stray. Buddy is potty trained, walks well on leash, and sleeps in his crate. He is a true velcro, usually found in his foster mom's shadow. He is spry, likes to run and play outside and does puzzles and plays with his kong too. He guards his food from other dogs,  so he needs to be fed separately from other pets or to be an only. He gets protective of his fav person, so adopters will need to understand that and work with him to be comfortable with others. He is great with house guests and warms up quickly with treats!   The groomer says he is always well-behaved and we know he enjoys being brushed. He will jump in the car anytime you open the door and quickly settles in for the ride. He's the perfect companion, always up for a walk or to snuggle up near you for a snooze on the couch. He loves to be near his people!  Banzai would probably be happiest in a home with no or older kids that will give him space when he needs it. He barks when people come to the door, and rarely barks otherwise now that he knows the all the sounds in his foster home. Banzi is available through One Dog At A Time.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Lewistown, PA Buddy is a 4 year old handsome Pomeranian that lived his entire life in a goat pen and was utilized as a stud on a breeders farm.  We were thrilled when they decided to give him up.  He is a little timid but very friendly once he is comfortable with you.  There were no children on the farm so we are unsure what he would be like with kids.  We are just getting to learn about him but believe he will be a great companion.  He will need some basic training but is super smart and will do well with some consistency and patience. Pomeranians need regular grooming and upkeep of their gorgeous coats.  Our adopter will need to understand this important commitment.  Are you the right home for this sweet stunning boy who deserves to experience a family of his own where he can be the baby?  Thank you for considering adoption through ODAAT.
