Story
Looking to rehome our energetic Zelda. We got her from a rescue in April of 2022. Zelda is about a year and a half old and she is approx 50-60lbs . She is a ball of energy. She enjoys playing running and jumping. She would do best with a family that has older children and no other pets. We love her but unfortunately our family situation has changed and we don’t have a lot of time to spend with her at home. She has a decent amount of anxiety so she doesn’t like to be alone. She’d be best suited in a home with a yard. Also, another note she is fixed. Due to her anxiety, she had a mishap where she had a necessary tibial crest surgery. Somehow during crate training she wiggled out and hurt her knee. She has a clean bill of health though. No pins left or anything.

Story
I got Tonka from a friend of mine who fostered him for a friend of his. It is believed that his original owners were backyard breeders. Tonka's ears were cropped by someone who clearly did not know what they were doing. Tonka was initially surrendered to a Vet to be Euthanized because he had Parvo and the owners did not want to (were unable to) pay for his treatment. A vet tech intervened since Tonka was only 18 months old and saved his life. Unfortunately, he does not get along with my two bigger dogs and it has become necessary to find him a new home. Tonka is a sweet, sweet boy. We have had him for almost three years. He loves to be with people. He is happiest when he is outside playing tug of war or swimming in the creek and in the pool. He is also content to just sit and relax with his human pack. He's a big guy, but he thinks he is a lap dog and will plop right down on your lap and bathe you in kisses. He is good on a leash, but can also be trusted to walk with you off leash

Story
Tonka is a sweet boy who loves attention and just being with his people. He does not get along with my other male dog. He does not bother with my smaller dogs; however, it would be best if he could be in a home in which he is the only dog. Tonka loves to give kisses and paw. He also loves when you rub his belly. He likes to play tug-of-war and fetch sticks. Tonka also loves to swim - be it a creek or a pool. Although Tonka is a big boy, he thinks that he is a lap dog, and will sit on your lap if he has the opportunity. Tonka also does well on a leash and can be even taken to stores that allow dogs. He can also be trusted in unleashed in a yard without a fence under supervision.

Story
My rescue is currently closed, and I need to find homes for the last of my animals! River is a rambunctious 2 year old American Staffordshire Terrier + American Bulldog mix. She needs a home who can provide ample exercise, training, and structure. Please no children under 10 due to her size and energy levels. River loves cats, dogs, stuffed animals, and absolutely loves to play, but she also loves being lazy on the couch. She is very smart and knows sit, down, spin, touch, stand(on hindlegs), personal space, place, and knows her manners. She had recently develped some anxiety, and can be a bit reactive on leash. She doesn't like strangers attempting to touch her, or staring her down,but her structured lifestyle and rules are really helping her feel secure about her environment. we're looking for a home that can keep up with this! WE ARE OFFERING FREE TRAINING FOR LIFE! RIVER NEEDS A DEDICATED ADOPTER WHO WILL TAKE THE TIME TO HELP HER FEEL COMFORTABLE, AS WELL AS CONTINUING THE TRAINING PLAN WE HAVE IN PLACE. OSAR requires multiple visits to us, training sessions, as well as a home check before and after adoption for all dogs. OSAR is willing to adopt out of state, as long as the potential family can spend a few days with River learning from me first.

Kielbasa

Mixed Breed (Large) American Staffordshire Terrier

Male, adult
Philadelphia, PA
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Kielbasa is a big boy with an even bigger heart. He evaded animal control for over a month while he wandered the streets of Philadelphia as a stray. Once caught, he dazzled the staff at ACCT and at New Leash on Life USA with his sweet personality. This gentle giant believes lap dogs come in all shapes and sizes. He’s good with other dogs but would rather have all of your attention. He’s happy-go-lucky and loves to chew on chew toys. He’s crate-trained, house-trained, and has great leash manners. If you like big slobbery kisses and a dog that hugs you with his whole body, then Kielbasa is your dream dog.

Story
Pierogi is quite the dumpling. This big boy is full of energy and would love a home who will play with him and continue his training. He’s learned quickly in our training classes and already knows sit, stay, down, come, and kennel-up. He was a large dog when we first pulled him from ACCT Philly, but now that he’s put on what we call the “prison fifteen,” he’s stronger than ever. Pierogi would benefit from a yard where he can get all of his energy out, or a strong handler who can take him on frequent walks. He loves chewing on toys and playing tug, and is also a belly rubs connoisseur. While Pierogi has done well with other large dogs, we would not put him in a home with a cat. Pierogi is a very sweet dog and is patiently waiting to find his forever home!
