Story
Unfortunately I need to rehome our female dog ASAP. She is a wonderful 8 year old female lab mix (mostly black lab I believe). She is great with kids, cats and after introduction, great with other dogs.(She does get excited meeting new dogs, but settles down shortly after). She is housebroken. She can be happy being a couch potato but also can have a lot of spunk/energy about her still. Just loves to be with her people, whatever they are doing. Loves to fetch, loves stuffed animals and toys. No health problems besides a couple little lumps under her belly, which are benign fatty tumors. They don’t need removed unless they end up bothering her. She is a great family dog, and we will be so sad to see her go.Comes with food, collar, regular leash and a long retractable leash. Located in Dover, PA

Good with dogs,
Story
She is friendly and gentle. She will need time to adjust to new expectations. She has never been in a house. She has only lived in a kennel, instead of doing the hunting she would rather run in the woods and play, so she needs to be a pet. She is sweet but timid and would love to have a family to love and play with. We do transport with Rescue Riders Pet Transport. One of the most animal friendly transports on the road. We transport every weekend alternating between the Midwest and the Northeast to a destination near you. Please click the "Ask about me" button on her profile to get an application.

Story
Babe is a 3 year old sweetheart with the most soulful eyes and a heart that's bigger than her past. She weighs approx. 50 pounds, is house trained, and can sit on command. This beautiful girl has already overcome more than most dogs ever should. Babe came to rescue with a serious wound, and the vet believes she had been shot. She underwent surgery, healed like a champ, and now her scar is just a reminder of how strong and resilient she truly is. She is incredibly loving with people. She is up to date on vaccines, and heartworm prevention, and has been spayed. She would do best as the only dog as she hasn't gotten along with other dogs in her foster home. However, she doesn't seem to mind cats. She's looking for a home where she can be your one and only furry best friend and honestly, she will give you more than enough love to make up for it. Babe is being fostered in Mississippi but we transport alll throughout the North through Rescue Riders Pet Transport. They are the friendliest and the most amazing pet transport! Please message us if you are interested and we will sent you an adoption application! We look forward to hearing from you!
