Story
This adorable, spunky, silly girl is heartbroken because she has absolutely zero interest from anyone wanting to adopt her. She has now set the record for the longest dog in our foster program. Pachi has been with us for a year and a half and prior to our rescue she had been in a shelter for several months. Pachi is the cutest little dog with the coolest ears. She is much smaller than she appears in her photos. (Under 30lbs). Pachi is a true gem, and we can't explain how lucky her person will be once they find each other. She's shown incredible growth but needs a home with structure and routine to continue to grow. Pachi finds joy in the simple pleasures of life, like chasing a toy or curling up on the couch and loves to share blueberries and bananas for breakfast with her foster mom. Pachi is most comfortable with women but is open to anyone with a soft side. She would do best with an adult-only home, or with older children. Pachi likes to be the center of attention, so no other pets. She is not a fan of felines. Pachi prefers a home with a fenced in yard to run around in. We know that her person/people are out there, but we need your help to find this deserving girl her much deserved forever home. Please share. We would like Pachi to stay within Central PA or if the perfect home is found we would consider someone further away. “Dogs have a way of finding the people who need them and filling the emptiness we didn’t ever know we had.” - Thom Jones

Story
Hi, my name is Luna. 🐾My caregiver is facing a rare chronic illness and, although she loves me very much, she feels she can no longer give me the life I deserve. This has been a very difficult decision for her, but she wants what is best for me.I am a 6-year-old French Bulldog and Boston Terrier mix. I am not spayed, and my last vaccinations were in 2023. I am friendly, affectionate, and do well with other pets and children. I am also fully house-trained and crate-trained.My dream home would be with a loving family, a big backyard where I can run and play, and people who will treat me as part of the family. I have so much love to give and would love a place to call my forever home.If you believe you can provide that kind of life for me, please contact my caregiver. Serious inquiries only, please.

Sir

Mixed Breed (Large) Mastiff

Story
Meet Sir. This big, lovable guy came to us as a stray, so his past is a bit of a mystery, but from the moment he arrived, he’s been nothing but social, happy, and eager to connect. He can be a little unsure when faced with new things, but he bounces back quickly and adapts with ease. Due to Sir having some sensitivities with certain touch, we believe that he would do best in a home with children 13+ who can respect his boundaries. With some continued socialization and training, Sir is sure to grow into a confident, well-rounded companion. If you’re looking for a goofy, sweet, and resilient best friend, Sir might just be your guy. 3159 Susquehanna Trail N York PA 17406 Kennel #3537

Story
Lyra may have been found as a stray, but we have a feeling this girl has a little cowgirl spirit in her! With a microchip traced all the way back to Dallas, Texas, we'd love to imagine she's just been waiting for her next big adventure. When Lyra first arrived at the shelter, she was absolutely terrified. But with a little patience and a lot of kindness, her true personality came bursting through. Now this just-over-a-year-old pup is a playful, goofy girl who loves racing around the yard, tossing her toys, and soaking up every bit of love and attention she can get. Lyra can be a little reserved when meeting new people, especially men, but give her a little time and she'll happily let you into her circle. Once you've earned her trust, you'll discover a fun-loving companion who's always ready to play and make you smile. This isn't Lyra's first time searching for a family, and we'd love for it to be her last. She's ready to trade shelter life for a home filled with patience, commitment, and plenty of adventures. If you're looking for a sweet young dog with a playful heart and a story that's just waiting for a happy ending, Lyra is ready to meet you. 3159 Susquehanna Trail N York PA 17406 Kennel #3537
