Story
Hi, I'm Fletcher! I'm a 5 month old Pittie/Cane Corso mix. At just 19 pounds, I may seem small, but just you wait! I'm going to be a big boy someday! Someone with breed experience will need to adopt me, and CYP will pay for my neuter at 6 months. I am a bit fearful of other dogs and will need some confidence training in my new home. Once I understand who my people are, I'm a lovebug.    ##2641692##

Story
Kofu is a one year old dog in February. He is a 38 lb Pit Bull mix. He was surrendered to our rescue along with his sibling sister because of owner moving. They unfortunately were never vaccinated or fixed. But now he is up to date on everything at our rescue. He is neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. We also tested him for heartworm, Lyme and two other tick borne diseases! Luckily he was negative for everything! He is a very sweet boy. Good with all people and kids. Good with other dogs. He did well with a cat when we cat tested him! He deserves a loving home! If you are interested in meeting or adopting Kofu please text Casey at 570-441-0083. We adopt to the general public but we also adopt to military veterans with adoption fee waived in order to provide our heroes with companion or emotional support dogs . Our other adoptable pets our posted on our website as well as the very brief (5 minutes) application form. https://rescuepetsservingvets.org ##2641368##

Smokey is a 4 year old 56 lb neutered male Redtick Hound! He was surrendered to our rescue because owner could no longer keep Smokey! He was used as a hunter dog but owner kept him in the house, so he is house trained! He likes to run so we suggest a fenced in yard or an adopter who likes to run with a dog!! He is dog friendly but not good with cats! If you are interested in meeting or adopting Smokey please text Casey at 570-441-0083. We adopt to the general public but we also adopt to military veterans with adoption fee waived in order to provide our heroes with companion or emotional support dogs .
