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.

Story
I'm looking to rehome my sweet 17-pound female Chihuahua, Dachshund, and Australian Kelpie mix. This is not an easy decision, and I'm hoping to find her the loving home she deserves. She is spayed, up to date on all of her vaccinations, house trained, crate trained, walks great on a leash, and is a total cuddle bug who loves being with her people. She would do best as the only dog, as she doesn't get along well with other dogs. A home with older children or no children would be the best fit for her. There is a rehoming fee to help ensure she goes to a good home. She will come with her crate, food, toys, and all of her belongings.

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.

Gus is a high energy pup who loves to run and play as much as he loves to cuddle. He is great with people after he feels comfortable with them. He gets along with female dogs and some male dogs. We have to rehome because we have Gus and his brother and they are not getting along. Please reach out for more information.

Story
Abby is a very sweet girl. She was initially given to us from a neighbor. I have vet records for the time she has been woth us. Abby is a friendly dog, she loves attention, belly rubs, loves to run and walks. She is playful but also likes to laze around the house. She is our only dog and is social with my familes dogs. She is protective of food when other dogs are around. She eats all the food. So we feed her seperately when we have furry visitors. No other issues with food in our home or with our cat. She loves to be petted and hugged, She will also get on the couch! She is crate and house trained. Her crate is her room and left open all the time. She goes in there when she wants to left alone. She is a social eater. She comes to you to go out, but someone needs to take her outside. She loves to be near you. She has a housemate, cat, very friendly and loving with him. I wish i could be more active for her she loves walks and is curious.

Story
Cash recently enjoyed time in a foster home. He was a wonderful foster and an absolute joy to have in the home. He is fully house-trained, including potty-trained, and loves to lay near you if you’re home. Cash enjoys going for walks, and absolutely loves getting to meet other dogs if they are friendly.Cash is a pretty low energy companion overall, and does not mind relaxing on the couch or looking out a window while you’re away. You would have a hard time finding a dog that is much easier to take care of than Cash. He has a pleasant disposition and would be a fantastic family dog. If you’re looking for a loving and well-mannered dog, Cash could be a perfect match. *This pet qualifies for our Sponsored by Simba program`s Pets for Veterans: no adoption fee for any military veteran adopting a pet 1 year and older.This pet is available at: Brandywine Valley SPCA - Lancaster 2195 Lincoln Hwy E Lancaster, PA 17602 PA Kennel License #18767
