Story
Eazy is 2 years old and I got him from a breeder as a 2 month old puppy. He loves to cuddle and be loved on but doesn’t get along with cats or dogs. He deserves a loving home with no animals being he’s been spoiled with being an only dog at home. I’m expecting a baby and relocating and unfortunately I can’t bring him with me.

Story
Marlo is a 2 1/2 year old American Bully. He is a great companion and the sweetest dog ever. He likes to cuddle and be next to anyone who will pet him. He rarely barks unless there’s a threat. I unfortunately have to rehome Marlo due to relocating in a home with my elderly father who is allergic to dogs. I love Marlo so much and it breaks my heart to have to rehome him. I’m looking for someone loving who will take care of him well.

Story
Phoebe came from a shelter in 2017 and quickly became the very loved family dog Penny. She likes to lay in the sun, eat yummy treats, and sometimes cuddle. Relocating and expecting a new child, unfortunately our hands are more than full right now. It makes us sad to let her go, but know that should would be an excellent addition to another dog loving family. She is an adult (10) with very minor arthritis and some dental issues, but still full of strength and energy. Penny is very aware and helpful, although she is scared of thunder or fireworks. Any other questions please feel free to reach out. I have her adoption paperwork available from the original rescue as well.

Story
We rescued Pepper from a local rescue 3 years ago. We're heartbroken about re-homing him. Pepper is extremely loyal, loving, affectionate and sweet, and he's great with people including kids. Unfortunately Pepper is not great with other dogs which we didn't know when we adopted him. We have another dog and Pepper has made her life challenging. We also discovered that our older daughter has a severe dog allergy which has compounded our challenges & heartbreak. Pepper is 5 yrs old, fully house trained and crate trained, loves to walk on his leash and is so so loyal. He whole-heartedly enjoys belly rubs, being pet, and being loved by humans --- he's even great w/ strangers such as a delivery guy entering the home. Pepper is a good boy who just wants to love and be loved by humans. He's used to having a fenced in back yard and loves sun bathing. He has a ridiculously cute snaggle tooth/underbite which initially drew us to him 3 years ago. If you are a one-dog family, Pepper is perfect.

Story
Rocco was a rescue when he was 3 months old. He is currently 4 years old and loves to play tug of war. He is energetic and loves to run around with a toy in his mouth. He is great with our toddler daughter. Unfortunately he needs more time and energy that we can not give him right now with our work schedule and daughter. He is very food motivated almost to a fault. He deserves a family that give him the energy and love he puts out. He’s a good boy. And will cuddle with you like no other dog i ever had.

Dolly

Jack Russell Terrier Corgi

Female, Puppy
Downingtown, PA
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details

Story
Dolly is an adorable 14 week old female puppy. Her Mom is a Tri-colored Corgi (16 lbs) and her dad is an 8 lb. black and tan Irish Jack Russell. (Mom & Dad are in the last 2 pictures) They are both purebreds. She was one of four in the litter and has been lovingly raised in our home on our horse farm. She’s very energetic and very social! She should be well under 20 lbs. full grown. I will only re-home her to a home that has another dog for that reason. I would also prefer a fenced yard since the breed is very energetic and needs room to run and play. The Jack Russell and Corgi’s are a unique breed! Her brother is also available. If they could go together, that would be amazing since they are very bonded but I will separate them. We are working on housebreaking them and it is going well. There will be a reasonable re-homing fee. Thank you for your interest.
