Story

Meet Rue: Rue is about a 6 month old (as of June 2026) Carolina dog mix (best guess - but maybe part kangaroo with those awesome ears) that weighs about 20 pounds. Rue was found and taken into a shelter in Memphis before being transferred into a foster home. Rue is currently being fostered in the south and would love to take the freedom ride north to Pennsylvania to meet more prospective families. Rue has a sweet personality with lots of puppy energy. Rue is smart, eager to learn, and already knows basic commands (sit, stay and heel). Rue gets along well with other dogs and loves being around people. Rue is crate trained and being assessed for her house training status. We would love for Rue to have a home with a fenced in yard for her to run and play out her puppy energy freely. Rue is up to date on her shots and spayed. If you are interested in adding this sweet baby girl into your life, please go to Charlie’s Crusaders website (www.charliescrusaders.org) to fill out an application. CURRENT LOCATION: Arkansas, awaiting transport to PA ##2763431##

Story

Meet Paisley: Paisley is about a 1 year old (as of June 2026) lab / border collie mix (best guess) that weighs 30 pounds. Paisley was found taking care of her litter of 6 pups (“Wardell pups”) under an abandoned farm house in Arkansas. Our rescue went to get them and now have them safe and sound. Paisley is currently being fostered in the south and would love to take the freedom ride north to Pennsylvania to meet more prospective families. Paisley is a very sweet and friendly young mama! Paisley has been great with people and other dogs. She is more on the submissive side and has shown no aggressive behaviors. Paisley loves to be near you and loves any affection you are willing to give her. Paisley has been walking well on the leash and so far hasn’t had any accidents in the house, so she seems to have the house training process down! Paisley is crate trained. We would love for Paisley to have a home with a fenced in yard for her to run and play freely. Paisley is up to date on her shots and is scheduled to be spayed late June. If you are interested in adding this sweet girl into your life, please go to Charlie’s Crusaders website (www.charliescrusaders.org) to fill out an application.

Meet Sierra: Sierra is a 10 week old (as of June 12, 2026) lab / collie mix (best guess) that weighs about 8 pounds.

Our rescue went to get them and now have them safe and sound. Sierra is being fostered in the south and would love to catch the next freedom ride north to Pennsylvania on June 27th to meet more prospective families! Sierra, and this full litter, is a group of your typical very playful, sweet and cuddly puppies! As a puppy, Sierra will need some patience while she works on her house training. We would love for Sierra to have a home with a fenced in yard for her to run and play freely as she grows. Sierra is up to date on her puppy shots and will need to be spayed when age appropriate. If you are interested in giving this sweet pup lots of love and a great life, please go to Charlie’s Crusaders website (www.charliescrusaders.org) to fill out an application.
