Caleb is microchipped, neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and ready to find the forever home he's been waiting for. His adoption fee is $415.

Story
Meet Olive: the pint-sized, heart-melting bundle of joy who's proof that good things come in small, cuddly packages! At 4 years old and 30 lbs, this little lady is ready to steal your heart (and your lap)! Olive's journey started in a sad place - she and another dog were found abandoned in a Philadelphia park, tied to a guard rail, left to fend for themselves by someone with no heart. Luckily, Animal Control rescued them, and Eleventh Hour Rescue stepped in to give Olive the second chance she deserved. Though she's a bit nervous due to her history, Olive is a total snuggle bug once she feels safe. She'll be your personal lap warmer, curling up beside you while you work, read, or binge-watch your favorite shows. Her dream job? Full-time cuddler, 24/7! Olive is a leash-walking pro, is house trained, playful, sharp as a tack, and is basically the world's best lap dog. Her ideal fairy tale home? A cozy spot with someone who's around a lot, can shower her with love and attention (and maybe a few treats too), and as an only dog. Olive is spayed, up-to-date on vaccines, and microchipped! For a $415 adoption fee, she's ready to bring snuggles, tail wags, and lots of love to your home. Ready to make her yours? Go to EHRDOGS.ORG and submit an adoption application today asking for OLIVE MINI PITTIE!

Story
If you've ever wondered what would happen if someone took a German Shepherd, shrunk him down, and mixed him with a fox, meet Odin! This incredibly unique and handsome boy is 1 year old, weighs 46 pounds, and is fully grown, which makes him the perfect medium-sized companion. Odin was rescued from Georgia and has quickly won over everyone he meets with his sweet, friendly personality. He loves people, enjoys attention, and is always happy to make new friends. He's also great with other dogs and would love a canine buddy to play with. With his adorable looks, expressive face, and charming personality, Odin is the kind of dog who turns heads everywhere he goes. But he's much more than just a cute face. He's a loving, affectionate boy who is ready to be someone's best friend. Odin is microchipped, neutered, and up to date on all vaccinations. Now all he needs is a forever family to call his own!

Story
Layla Dessin found herself in a PA shelter pregnant and alone. EHR rescued her, brought her to NJ, and got her into foster where she gave birth to 8 beautiful puppies. All have since been adopted, except for poor Layla.... Layla finds herself alone yet again, always the last pick... She is a super intelligent, fun, pretty gal weighing in at about 65 pounds. Layla loves other dogs, and bonds with her owner quickly! Knowing what she went through, it is completely understandable that she is scared of new people. A few treats and a couple minutes and she is ready to be your friend! We recommend a slower paced home for Layla (not too many visitors). She would love to live with another dog but it is not necessarily required! to adopt LAYLA MOMMA DESSIN apply at www.ehrdogs.org Please visit our website www.EHRdogs.org to learn more about this amazing pet, as well as to fill out an application for adoption.

Story
Meet Tayto! This angel boy is an almost one year old Redbone Coonhound Mix who weighs roughly 60 pounds. Tayto came into the rescue world after living through some terrible circumstances. But this baby sure does not let it show. He has truly never met a stranger, two- or four-legged. Tayto is the goofiest, silliest Hound dog who has made stealing hearts his full-time job. He is lazy, he LOVES to cuddle and is also a part time toy connoisseur. Tayto is so smart, picks up on things quickly, and is extremely treat motivated. Which makes him a dream to train. He knows how to Sit, walks pretty well on leash, is crate trained, and knows how to use a doggy door! Tater Tot would really be the perfect addition to almost any family, and it's a big bonus in his book if that family has other pups for him to play with. Tayto is neutered, fully vetted, and is so ready to have his forever family. If you'd like to meet sweet Tayto, please complete an adoption application at http://www.ehrdogs.org and be sure to mention his name, TAYTO SCAS!
