Ephrata, PA

Size

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

Details

Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

This is our sweet Jersey girl. We love her with all of our hearts, and it breaks me to make this profile for her. Our only goal is to find the very best home for her.My husband and I adopted Jersey over 7 years ago when she was just 3 months old after she was rescued from Alabama and brought to a shelter in New Jersey (hence her name!). She has always had the sweetest heart.Jersey has been such an important part of our family, which is why this decision has been so incredibly difficult. As our family has grown, we have realized that our home is no longer the right environment for Jersey to thrive.We have worked with a trainer and tried medication to help manage her anxiety. Because of her history of nipping and biting, including an incident with our young daughter, we know she would do best in a calm, adult-only home with someone who has experience with dogs.We are not looking for just any home. We are looking for the right home for our loyal, goofy girl who has meant the world to us.

Fynn

Husky Australian Shepherd

Female, Senior

Akron, PA

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

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

Story

Fynn is a female Husky/Australian Shepherd mix. She is about 10 years old, and we adopted her from a local rescue organization about 8 years ago. She is fully vaxxed and chipped. She is in pretty good health, considering her age. Fynn is a very sweet, loving, and loyal dog. She loves being petted (especially belly rubs) and playing tug-and-toss with a stuffed toy. She is leash-trained and loves walks outside. Give her a bed by a window or on a deck, and she will happily survey her queendom. Her personality is one that really wants to be your sole object of affection, and she will return that affection whole-heartedly. Her ideal home would be one without little kids or other dogs/cats. Fynn has never bitten a person, but she has been in fights with our other dog. She has been an important part of our family, but she gets anxiety around kids and other dogs. We want her to go to a home that will love her as much as we did, but can provide a more comfortable setting for her.

Cubbie

German Shepherd Dog

Male, Young

Lititz, PA

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Meet cubbie! He’s a loving best friend who loves attention even when you don’t ask for it. He loves walks, playing fetch, and finding toys hidden around the house. We adopted cub from an old roommate who never cared for him and was not trained. We wanted to give him the best home and we did until we are now moving and I want him to find his forever home. It breaks my heart but I know there is someone out there for him who he can play with everyday. He loves to stay busy and always comes by you on the couch to drop the ball on your lap so he can run after it. He will follow you everywhere whether you want him to or not. He’s a personal shadow. You can’t help but live his goofy personality.

Benson

Golden Retriever

Male, Young

Lititz, PA

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

We bought Benson from a breeder when he was 8 weeks old in May 2025. Since we brought him home, he's had issues with resource/food guarding, so we took him to a trainer where he learned how to obey basic commands (sit/stay/lay/drop/leave it/come). He is also house and crate trained. He's generally a sweet boy, loves to run, LOVES to chase balls, and enjoys being in the middle of things, but unfortunately, his resource guarding has not improved and he is unpredictable with our young children. He has bitten our 5 year old and shown aggression towards him, but has not shown that same aggression towards older children (teenagers) or adults that know how to act around dogs. Benson would do very well in an adult-only home.We do have another (elderly) dog that he gets along with well, though he is a bit rough with her. He has socialized with other similar-sized dogs as well and would likely love to live in a home with a companion that has a similar amount of energy and can keep up with him.

Lunna

Rottweiler

Female, Senior

Lititz, PA

Size

(when grown) X-Large 101 lbs (46 kg) or more

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Lunna is a nearly 7-year-old dog. She likes to rest for most of the day; she is protective of children and a wonderful companion, able to sense our moods and staying close to keep us company. She gets concerned if she senses someone is in danger. She lets us know when she needs to go outside to relieve herself. She barks at strangers approaching her territory, but I’ve had her since she was four months old, and she has never attacked anyone. She loves being petted and always stays close by; if she’s watching TV and realizes someone on screen is in danger, she’ll jump up and bark at the TV to warn us 🤭. Lunna is very sweet and adores my 2-year-old grandson. It has become very difficult to keep her comfortable in our current space, and she is also spending too much time alone. I simply want Lunna to find a new home where she will be loved just as much as she is with us—a place where she can enjoy the companionship, comfort, and peaceful senior years she deserves.

Ole

Vizsla

Male, Adult

New Holland, PA

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Ole is our youngest Vizsla, and deciding to rehome him has been incredibly difficult. He is a sweet, sensitive dog whose affectionate personality shines when he feels safe and comfortable. Unfortunately, Ole has a nervous and reactive nature, particularly around our older Vizsla, Rooney. Over time, it has become clear that the relationship between the two dogs creates stress for both of them, and each is noticeably more relaxed and at ease when the other is absent.Ole can be protective of his personal space and may bark, growl, or react defensively when approached unexpectedly, especially while resting. However, when interactions happen on his terms, he is much more relaxed and accepting of affection.We believe Ole would thrive as the only pet in a quiet home with a patient owner, ideally someone experienced with Vizslas or sensitive dogs. Our hope is that a calmer environment will help him gain confidence, relax, and become the happy dog we know he can be.
