Story
This is Guinness! He is a 5 year old pit bull mix looking for a quiet forever home! Guinness is a very sweet boy, loves to cuddle, and is neutral with cats. He absolutely LOVES toys, and will be rehomed with all of his favorite ones (which is quite a few)! If you enjoy an evening in with a large lap dog, he is the perfect buddy for you! Grab a good snack and drink, put on a movie and it'll be his perfect night. He is crate trained and housebroken as well, and goes in his crate with no issue at night to snuggle up with his blankets. He is a bit of an anxious boy, so he has been taking medication prescribed from the vet to help, and would love a home that is calm! All vet records will be transferred over once the adoption is completed. He is neutered and up to date on vaccines. He would do best in a home as the only dog, as he gets nervous around other male dogs. We are asking a rehoming fee to ensure that he goes to a good home!

Story
We adopted Pinto (formerly Stanley) from the Brandywine Valley SPCA in 2022. He was born on 08/02/2022. He is a mixed breed, mostly white dog who is deaf. He loves to play, chew on sticks, and be outdoors. He gets along well with our other dog. He does not seem bothered by cats. He does well walking on a leash and enjoys going for long walks at parks. He does have a microchip and has been neutered. His shots are due for updating as of May. He eats dry food and enjoys chewing on bones. He has not had any training by us. Pinto is a very sweet dog who needs a space to run and play. He loves attention. We will provide new owner with any paperwork we have on him as well as any supplies/food we have, including a crate.

Story
We got Dixie as a puppy in 2019. Her birthday is Jan. 28, 2019. Her shots are not up to date as of May. She has been spayed and has a microchip. She does well with other dogs, including going to kennels and day camps. She does well with cats. Dixie is good with children. She does seem to have anxiety and can be skittish at times. She has springtime allergies but they seem to calm with OTC allergy chews. She loves to run and play outside. She enjoys a walk and does well on a leash. She is kennel trained and does not mind going into her kennel. She eats dry food and enjoys chewing on bones. Dixie loves to cuddle up with us. We will provide new owner with any paperwork and supplies we have.
