Pachi

Miniature Pinscher Toy Fox Terrier

Female, 3 yrs

Columbia, PA

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Not good with kids, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

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

Meet Louie 💙 Louie is a stunning 3-year-old blue Chow Chow with a classic Chow personality and a heart that’s ready to heal. He’s incredibly handsome, calm by nature, and quietly confident — the kind of dog who brings a peaceful presence wherever he goes. Louie has a wonderful balance of energy and relaxation. He enjoys his walks and exploring the world, but he’s also content to lounge and take life at an easy pace. He’s not over-the-top or demanding — just a solid, loyal companion who wants to be near his people. Unfortunately, Louie didn’t have the best start in life. He experienced neglect and spent long periods confined to a crate. Because of this, he developed a fear of men, likely due to a negative experience with a male in his previous home. That said, with patience, consistency, and kindness, Louie can learn to trust men — and he is already making wonderful progress with his foster dad. Louie naturally prefers women and bonds with them quickly, forming deep and meaningful connections. He thrives in a calm, understanding home where his boundaries are respected and his trust is allowed to grow at his own pace. Louie requires a securely fenced yard (physical fencing only — no underground or invisible fences) so he can safely enjoy outdoor time and feel secure in his environment. Louie is a truly special dog who just needs the right person — someone who understands the Chow breed, values loyalty, and is willing to give him the love and security he’s always deserved. In return, you’ll gain a devoted companion who will quietly choose you every day. 💙 If you’re looking for a loyal, soulful Chow with so much love to give, Louie may be your perfect match.

Harper is such a sweet boy. He’s extremely friendly and loving, and is great with kids. He does have some health concerns, and due to family medical needs, we just can’t provide the level of care he needs. He’s high energy, but so full of love and would never hurt a thing.

Story

people were giving away this 8 week old pittie. We could tell he was being miss treated. He was the runt. so we were told he got picked on. He was staying in a dirty home. So we took him to find a better home for him. He has I wanna say one or two shots since we took him to the vet. He around 6 months old we estimated his birthday his February 19th, 2025. My partner is starting a job very soon so we don’t have time for him nor do we have family to watch him. He never been aggressive, . He just plays rough. He loves playing in rivers and fetch. is very much a lap dog even tho he60lbs. He knows how to sit, give paw and lay down, tho he is very stubborn at times. He is crate trained as well. He loves to just run and play. Hes a good boy when it comes to baths. Loves a good nature walk. He just wants to meet everyone. I do feel like he could use a sibling. He rings the bell to go potty. Large cage, toys, bells, food, treats and bowls included. All we ask is updates on him:)
