Story
FOSTER CARE Howdy, I'm Tilly! I'm a 2 year old, spayed female, Husky/Shepherd mix! I'm a 50 pound, medium sized dog with super sized energy! My ideal day looks like this: we wake up and have a big breakfast. Then we go for a sniffari where we walk around the neighborhood smelling every single flower. When we get back home, I'll be wiggly and want to play with toys. After we play, I'll want to settle down with a good chew toy and take an afternoon nap, getting ready for our next exercise session in the afternoon. If you've been looking for a fun and affectionate best friend, I would love to meet you!  Because of my shy and energetic nature I would do best in a household with older teens and adults, so please bring the whole family, including resident dogs to meet me! Tilly AID # A934080 Since I’m not at the adoption center, you can make arrangements to meet me by emailing behavior@phs-spca.org You may also submit your fully completed Adoption Profile Form to behavior@phs-spca.org and a staff member will call you to conduct a phone interview before making an appointment to meet me in person.

Story
AVAILABLE BY APPOINTMENT ONLY Hi!  My name is Marlon and I’m a 1 year old, 20 lbs neutered boy. I'm a shy boy who would love a nice quiet home to call my own. I like to keep tabs on my humans and may get scared if they leave me alone for a long time so I would love to work with someone who could help build up my confidence. I would do best in a home without other pets but if you already have resident dogs, I would love to meet them to make sure we could all live happily ever after. I have soft curly hair so I’ll need regular grooming care. I’m listed as a terrier mix but some people swear I look like a Schnoodle (Poodle/Schnauzer). I’m mostly potty trained, as long as you take me out for regular walks. Sometimes, I’m so quiet that you’ll wonder if I even know how to bark. If you like leisurely walks or short hikes, I’m your man!  Hope to see you soon!
