Story

Meet Mimi: Mimi is about a 3 year old (as of January 2026) hound mix (best guess) that weighs about 55 pounds. Mimi was dumped in a trailer park in rural Mississippi late summer 2025. Mimi was very emaciated, had heartworms and was nursing 7 puppies. One of our team members took her in and in the coming weeks her puppies were all adopted and now are in good homes. Mimi was brought up to weight and treated for her heart worms and is ready for her forever home! Mimi is currently being fostered in the south and would love to take the freedom ride north to Pennsylvania to meet more prospective families. Mimi is a very friendly girl! Mimi loves people and kids and gets along with other dogs. Mimi doesn’t seem to like cats and would do best in a home without them. We are still assessing Mimi’s house training status. We would love for Mimi to have a home with a fenced in yard so she can run and play freely. Mimi is up to date on her shots and is spayed. Please go to Charlie’s Crusaders website (www.charliescrusaders.org) to fill out an application if interested in adding this new friend into your life. CURRENT LOCATION: Mississippi, awaiting transport to PA ##2639432##

Story

Meet Midnight! He is a 3 month old, 14 pound heeler mix that is ready to steal your heart! While he is a puppy, he is relatively calm and a rather chill guy. He can entertain himself with toys, play with a canine friend, or he's down to hang on the couch for a snuggle. He is doing fabulously with his house and crate training, but he is a puppy, so he will need an adopter who is home and committed to keeping him on a schedule to keep up his success. He's been around cats briefly and was curious but showed no aggression. He hasn't been around kids, but with his overall calm and loving demeanor, his foster wouldn't see there being any issues. Midnights foster has one very serious (but not at all serious) request: any potential adopters must be willing to make Midnight a social media page and send them a friend request immediately upon adoption. Midnight is neutered and up to date on all age appropriate vaccines. He is available for adoption at pawsacrosspittsburgh.com/adopt Paws Across Pittsburgh, Springdale PA 15144 KL# 16182 ##2621570##

Layla

Shih Tzu/Bichon Frise

Female, 9 yrs 1 mo

East Greenville, PA

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Story

Meet Layla. Layla is a small, sweet senior shihtzu who has spent her whole life making babies for a puppy mill. She is 9 years old and weighs 9 lbs. She is learning about life inside her foster home. Layla is quiet in her crate; but will soil in it if she doesn't get a chance to go potty at least every four hours. Although her foster mom lives alone, Layla gets very happy and excited when children stop by to visit. I think a home with older, respectful children or visiting grandkids would be a good fit for Layla. This sweet older gal has a great appetite and isn't the least bit fussy about her food. Layla does walk on a leash although her foster home has a fenced yard for her to go out into. Layla is in a foster home that has other small dogs living there. Layla was recently spayed, had a dental cleaning and is up to date with vaccines. She had a very large mammary tumor removed that was most likely a result of all her years of being used to produce puppies. Her adoption fee is $250.00. If you are interested in adopting Layla, please visit our website www.lharinc.org go to Adopt and complete the dog adoption application.

Story

Adorable Wyatt Earp is part of Oakley’s Wild West Litter, born to a resilient mama who was rescued pregnant from a hoarding situation in Ohio. Oakley had been living on a property with many dogs, several of them also pregnant, before she was finally given the chance at safety and care. Thanks to that intervention, this little guy is getting the loving start every puppy deserves. He loves people, other dogs, and is doing great with house and crate training. Like most young puppies, he is playful, curious, and affectionate as he grows. He’ll thrive with a family ready to continue his training, socialization, and confidence-building as he learns what it means to be a cherished family member. If you’re ready to open your heart and home to a puppy and be part of his story from the very beginning, this sweet boy is ready to meet you. Wyatt Earp is being fostered in Pennsburg, PA and is available to join your family as soon as you are! www.mostlymuttz.org Mostly Muttz Rescue, PO Box 406, Gilbertsville, PA 19525PA Kennel License 10872 ##2612012##

Story

Looking for fosters or adopters so they can make transport 1/18!! They can be separated! Rita and Trixie are beautiful 1.5-year-old Australian Shepherds with sweet personalities. Both are crate trained (knows it as “bed”) and are treat-oriented, making them eager and fun to work with during training. They know the commands sit, back up, bed/pen, and outside, and while they are still working on leash manners and jumping, they have a great foundation and want to please. Neither is food aggressive and they both do well with routine and structure. Both are generally quiet and don’t bark, except when they get excited as you come home. They have been around a cat—sometimes do well, and other times may chase—so continued training or a cat-savvy home would be best. They currently live with an older dog and get along well. Important dietary note: they cannot have anything containing strawberries or strawberry flavoring, and no Milk-Bones. Rita and Trixier were sadly left behind when their owner moved out. They are both loving, loyal young dogs who would thrive in a home committed to exercise, training, and companionship. ##2630652##
