Story

DAISY MAE came to us after she bit her owner in the face. It was a one-time incident however the family was afraid of her after the incident. We were her last hope as an alternative to euthanasia. In our care, Daisy has befriended a couple of our volunteers and is sweet as pie. However, we don’t trust her completely, even with people she knows because she can’t control herself when she gets overstimulated. The original incident happened when they had moved into a new home and Daisy was over excited/stressed and a delivery man came to the door. Her mom attempted to put her into a crate and she resisted and jumped up alligator-style. We are committed to help Daisy even though we understand she may never find a forever home. For the present time being, we are her family and are continuing to try to help her make progress. We will accept applications from exceptional families who have dealt with similar dogs in the past successfully. Daisy needs to be an only pet and although she was fine with the children in her home, because of the bite she needs to be in an adult only home! If you would like to love Daisy from afar, please visit out website and use the PayPal link to support us in her care. www.CompAnimals.org. Thank you!April 23, 2024, 10:14 am

Story

SKYLAR Is a 5 year old husky who was found as a stray in Baltimore. Being bred to run across the frozen tundra, he does like to test his boundaries so a secure fence and lots of exercise is a must for this guy! Skylar loves his walks and loves to be petted. Rides well in the car! He does have some issues with handling his neck/collar area - he may have had a bad experience with rough handling at some point. He does easily let us hook a leash to his collar but was a little mouthy with the volunteers at the shelter where we got him from when they were putting on and off a slip lead over his head. He was very polite about it and didn’t bite down but because of this we prefer him to have a home without small children. We would love Skylar to go to a family with husky experience! He ha shown some resource guarding with toys so we are recommending he be he only pup where he can soak up all the love and attention. Skylar is neutered and has been vaccinated, 4DX tested negative and microchipped.  If you are interested in adopting this handsome boy please fill out an application at www.companimals.org. Adoption $250 Adoptable Skylar: https://youtu.be/8hsWZ5o3xXo?rel=0 Skylar's Christmas wish: https://www.facebook.com/reel/855382742951359April 23, 2024, 10:14 am

Ireland

American Pit Bull Terrier

Female, Adult

Landenberg, PA

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

IRELAND is a four-year-old American Pit Bull Terrier who, likes so many others, was a victim of the pandemic. Found tied to a fence in Philadelphia. When she was six months old, she was deprived of early socialization and, as a result, is unsure in public settings and meeting new people. She is reactive with other dogs, but she did have a Pomeranian friend when she was a puppy so possibly she could be acclimated to a calm male dog in the future but currently we are recommending her as the only pet in an adult-only household.  Ireland is an athlete! She can run and run and run for miles. Every car ride leads to adventure and she will readily jump in and ride shotgun. Once you’re in her circle, you are golden. Ireland has been spayed, vaccinated, tested negative for Heartworms and has been microchipped. We hope to keep her within comfortable driving range, so that there can be several meetings and a home visit leading up to the Adoption. Adoption $200. Please fill out an application at www.companimals.org if you are the active family that Ireland is looking for. April 23, 2024, 10:14 am

Marvel

Cane Corso

Female, Adult

Landenberg, PA

Size

(when grown) X-Large 101 lbs (46 kg) or more

Details

Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

MARVEL is a 5 yr old Italian Mastiff (Cane Corso) who came to us after she became protective of her family in their home. Marvel is a victim of Covid-19. With the shelter in place order, her family was not able to properly socialize her and she grew up as a “big fish in a little pond”. Her family had many special needs children and medical care professionals needed to visit the home during the pandemic. They arrived wearing masks and Marvel thought that was very scary and began to protect the children from these masked strangers. The family called in a trainer but, due to the circumstances, everything was a little overwhelming for them. We acquired her on the day she was to be euthanized. Marvel has been fine with us. With a handful of treats she warms up quickly to our volunteers. We did have one incident with an unannounced visitor who approached her quickly and the result was a bite. In a home she may revert to her protectiveness so we are looking for a family with Cane Corso experience - walking the line between socialization and keeping her safe. Cane Corsos were originally war dogs during the Roman empire and used for protection - it is ingrained in their DNA. They have also been used for drafting and droving cattle – IE they need a job to do. Just sitting around the house twiddling their thumbs is a recipe for disaster which is what got Marvel into the situation in the first place. We have paired Marvel with playful young male dogs and they do well together with supervision (Marvel tends to play rough and takes the upper hand). We feel that she could work out in a home with a well-adjusted male dog to show her appropriate dog behavior or as an only pup. Not cat compatible. Marvel can fly over a 4 foot fence so 6 foot privacy fencing is ideal. If you are the home that we are looking for, please fill out an application at www.CompAnimals.org. Marvel is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped and heartworm negative. Adoption $300.April 23, 2024, 10:14 am
