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

Bear is a large goofy exuberant puppy who requires lots of exercise and patience. He clearly is a stunning dog and therefore everyone wants to take him home. He will require a dog savvy person or someone committed to following through with training and providing lots of exercise. Bear is looking for a home with a fenced in yard not an underground fence but a physical one. Bear can be protective of his toys and food, but only with other dogs. Bear is not a “dog park”dog.Please message us for more details home visit and adoption donation required

Angus is a bit timid when he first meets new people but then will be your best friend for life! He is between three and four years old and will require a fenced in yard, which must be a physical fence not an underground. Angus should be in a home with children over the age of 10 who are responsible and know how to interact with dogs. Please call or message for more information , local adoption only within a few hours of Lancaster County unless a perfect fit. Angus also loves to go for daily walks so if you are looking for a walking partner look no more. Angus is selective with his dog friends but with a proper introduction he does well. However, he does not like to share food especially treats with other dogs.. adoption donation, and home visit required.

Marlowe

German Shepherd Dog Bernese Mountain Dog

Female, Puppy
Marietta, PA
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Marlowe is a very sweet German Shepherd/Bernese Mountain Dog Mix. She has a ton of personality, and truly a beautiful soul that you can see in her eyes. At this stage of her life, her energy requirements are more than our family can provide. During her down times (after walks, play times) we can see the amazing dog she will become. When her energy is adequately played out, she turns into this little perfect companion, by your side patiently waiting for the next command, head pat or tummy rub. She loves kids, even though she is a little unaware of how big she is in comparison. She loves meeting new people and dogs, and is just a big, doplic, social butterfly. I'm certain that with the right owner, she will become the most loyal and trusty dog for many years to come. From what we have learned of Marlowe since getting her at 8 weeks old, we feel her ideal owner: -has previous experience and success with training -is an outdoorsy or active person -has outdoor space for her
