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
Kyra (pronounced Key-rah) is a very high energy dog and needs a lot of exercise. She is a very good girl but unfortunately we are not able to keep her anymore. She loves her ball and treats. She’s crate trained and house trained. She is very well behaved when left in the house alone. She is also comfortable being locked in her cage or left to roam free. She does get along with other dogs but needs to be introduced slowly and watched. She has met my daughters cats but was never left unattended with them or actually got to interact the cats, she was interested in playing with them. She will be the alpha if you are not. We do have to watch her around human food because she will take it if she can. She is spayed and up to date on her shots and when she trusts you, you can easily attend to any boo-boos she gets.

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 but ours do not do well with him. He does well walking on a leash and enjoys going for long walks at parks. He does have a microchip and has been neutered. He is up to date on shots. 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.
