Story
Willow is a lovely dog with a lot of energy. She likes to run and play. She will need activity. She loves to cuddle and she enjoys attention. She does well in the car and with change. We need to rehome Willow because we are selling our home to travel full time in a motor home. She needs space to run and we won't have that.

Story
He is such a loving cuddle bug. He does have anxiety which is why he takes medication. He loves his walks and he takes a plushy with him to each walk. He loves his crate. For.some.reason both of my dogs began to not get along for the last 2 years. We have bee living with them separately for the last year. He has the dining room then my other has the living room. I love them so much but I need him to be free to be loved and cared for the right way without the constant worrying.

Story
Meet Krypto!  This handsome boy is ready to find his happily ever after, and we think someone is going to hit the jackpot with this kid! Krypto came to us from ACCT Philly a few weeks ago after being diagnosed with pneumonia as a result of the respiratory infection circulating through the shelter. Thankfully, he's on the mend and ready to start enjoying the good things in life! At approximately 8 months old and 45 lbs, Krypto is the perfect combination of goofy puppy and professional snuggle bug. Here's what you need to know about this handsome newcomer:  Dog friendly! Krypto enjoys the company of other dogs.  Almost housebroken! He's about 90% there. You just need to pay attention to his signals. When he starts walking in circles, that's his way of saying, "Ummm, I need to go outside!"  Toy destroyer extraordinaire! If it squeaks, crinkles, or looks remotely fun, consider it a goner. Indestructible toys are definitely going to be your best investment with this guy!  Puppy zoomies included! He's still a youngster, so expect some silly antics and bursts of energy. ️ Crate trained! He knows how to settle in when it's time for a break. ❤️ Professional snuggler! And this is where Krypto really steals your heart. After all the zoomies, toy demolition, and puppy shenanigans, what he wants most is YOU. Human contact, cuddles, and being close to his people are his favorite things. Krypto is still a puppy, so he'll need a family willing to continue working with him, provide plenty of playtime, and help him grow into the amazing adult dog we know he's going to be. If you're looking for a best friend who will make you laugh, keep you entertained, and happily take over your couch (and probably your heart), Krypto might just be your guy!  Apply at: www.outcastrescue.comNovember 12, 2026, 1:33 pm

Story
Meet Suzie & Blanca, an approximately 10-year-old bonded pair of Chiweenie sisters who came to Outcast Rescue a few weeks ago after their owner was moving into assisted living and could no longer bring them along These two sweet senior girls have already been through a huge change, and through it all, they’ve had each other. We are determined to help them keep it that way. They are bonded and we would like to keep them together. Both are house trained — they go outside and are also pad trained. They are good with other dogs. They currently live with a child. They still enjoy wrestling and playing together. They have a little weight to lose, and they’re already well on their way! They are now up to date on their vaccines. Next week, both girls will be getting dentals so those senior teefers can be clean, healthy and shiny! We know asking someone to adopt two senior dogs together is a big ask. We know their perfect family will need to have room in their home — and in their heart — for both of them. But after everything these girls have been through, we truly believe their senior years should be spent side by side. They've already lost the home they knew. We don't want them to lose each other, too. If you have room in your heart and home for Suzie AND Blanca, we would love to hear from you.

Story
Meet Garcia  Garcia is truly a survivor. He came to us from the brink of starvation and has fought his way back to health, confidence, and purpose. Now, at just 9 months old, he’s ready to become the incredible dog he was always meant to be. Garcia is a guardian-breed mix (Boerboel, Neapolitan Mastiff, Pit Bull, Cane Corso, and Rottweiler), and he carries all the traits that come with that: loyalty, intelligence, drive, and a strong desire for structure and guidance. He has been training daily with @honorbrightdogtraining and Janice, and he has absolutely flourished. Garcia looks to his people for direction, learns quickly, and thrives when given a job and routine. He has a lot of energy to burn and will do best in an active, experienced guardian-breed home that understands his needs. Garcia would love a large, securely fenced yard where he can run, play, and enjoy his beloved toys. He has done well with other dogs but would also be perfectly happy as your one-and-only. What he needs most is stability, consistency, and leadership. This special boy has overcome so much, and now he deserves a home that can help him continue growing into the confident, balanced guardian he’s meant to be. We are looking for a guardian-breed experienced home to complete Garcia’s journey. You must be over 21 to apply and live within 2 hours of the Lehigh Valley, PA area within NJ or PA.
