Story
Carson came to us from a puppy mill farm that closed down. He lived in a 10x10 run since he was a puppy with little human interaction. He is shy and timid but has learned so much in the little bit of time we have had him. He is a sweet deserving guy that will blossom with a patient family that can introduce him to life outside of a 10x10 run. He is looking for stability and someone to love. He would benefit from living with a female dog companion who can help show him what home life is like.

Story
**MEET CHANCE**Hello! My name is Chance and I think I know why. I was adopted back when I was a puppy from a shelter but after 4 years of living together, my family couldn`t afford me anymore so I was returned to the shelter. I was adopted again and lived with my new family for just over, I thought we were all in love but I was wrong. My loving family found out they were having a baby so they took me back to the shelter. I thought I was their baby... I have been waiting now for over 6 month and no one has come for me. Then on a very hot day this truck pulled into the parking lot that said `Adams County SPCA` on the side of it. They were worried about me because I was so thin. The staff at the shelter I was at said I wasn`t doing good. They think I am depressed! The girls in the Adams County SPCA truck took me with them and I am already doing much better! I found a girlfriend named Sweetie Pie! We LOVE to play together ans we even look alike! If you are interested in giving me a real forever home, please submit an application at the link below. If you don`t think you can keep me, please don`t even apply, my heart can`t handle another heartbreak!

Story
Deohgi is a five year old beagle mix who is very shy and timid, but lively and loves to play. He gets shy around people and places he hasn't met or seen before, but opens up with a little bit of love and patience. He has a fear of thunderstorms, but has gotten better with them, and has recently found a love for getting baths. He loves doggy ice cream, and following you around. He's good around kids, and shy around other dogs, especially if they're bigger than him but is usually fine after getting to know them.

Story
Violet came to us from a kill shelter with Diesel who has already been adopted. Violet has been waiting for a year now to find her family. She is so deserving and loving. Violet is a young, bouncy, happy girl, who is ready for family to love her. She could live with another male companion in the home but would also be just as happy being the only dog in the home where she can get all the attention she deserves. Violet is a sweet, affectionate, smaller girl at 60lbs. and approximately a year and a half old. She is looking for a family with a fenced in yard and no small animals please. *********************************** If you are interested in ADOPTING or FOSTERING, please complete an application by cutting & pasting the following link: https://form.jotform.com/60794585351161 Or visit CHAAMP.org to access the Adoption/Foster link and learn about the process. https://www.chaamp.org/adoption-process Your application tells us about your lifestyle and helps us find a potential match for you and your family. We are happy to work with you. For example, if you don't have a fence, we can help find alternatives and/or a dog that will do well without a fence. A home visit is required prior to adoption/fostering. You can visit the malamute(s) once you've completed the process. Alternatively, you may volunteer and learn how rewards-based training brings out the best in malamutes. ********************************* CHAAMP accepts applications from Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia, and Washington DC. ADOPTION FEES ~Senior dogs (8+ years old): $100.00 ~Adult dogs (2 years up to 8): $300.00 ~Puppies (6 months - 2 years): $350.00 ~Puppies under 6 months: $375 All Malamutes are microchipped, spayed/neutered, and up-to-date on vaccines. Puppy fees are higher due to more vet visits and vaccines. The adoption fee helps us cover these costs. ********************************* We highly recommend the following links that you will need to cut and paste: Kathy Sdao’s SMART x 50 (Capture & Reward Good Behavior) https://babysafedogtraining.com/kathy-sdaos-smart-x-50-another-way-to-use-1000-treats/ Building Your Dog's Confidence by Victoria Stilwell (FREE Online Course) https://www.vsdogtrainingacademy.com/enroll/demo/ Shy Adopters Guide https://www.shelterdogplay.org/_files/ugd/7c885c_2f9fe1f87ea24376912b6e0b18e41998.pdf ********************************* CHAAMP is not a shelter and is run by 100% volunteers. CHAAMP is a proud rescue member of the Pet Professional Guild. We say no thank you to Shock, Prong, Choke, Pain, Force, and Fear.

Story
Meet the Cats of Gettysburg at the Kitty Corner by Forever Love Rescue AFFECTIONATE AND PLAYFUL My name is Star. My estimated date of birth is 7/22/2021. I am very affectionate! I love to be the center of attention, and won't allow you much personal space. I enjoy lounging and will sit on your lap. I am energetic and enjoy playing. I am a black and white Pit Bull. I am 85 lbs. Due to my size, I would do best in a home without young children or frail adults. I am good with older, considerate children. *** A courtesy post means this cat is NOT a part of Forever Love Rescue. We are trying to help a fellow rescuer find a home for this cat. We accept the adoption application, assist in processing the application, and then all communication will be handled by the private rescuer onwards. We do not attest to the information they provide, or to the health or vet care of the cat. Specific questions about this cat should be emailed to us at foreverloverescue@gmail.com so we can forward them to the appropriate person! ***Meet the #CatsOfGettysburg - Apply to adopt at bit.ly/AdoptFLR and we will help you find the purr-fect kitty for your family!  Visit dozens of our adoptable cats and kittens at our Kitty Corner adoption center 39 Queen St in historic Gettysburg PA on any Saturday or Sunday from 11am-3pm.  All of the cats listed are located in or near Gettysburg unless otherwise noted. Please note that while we work hard to keep our available cats up to date we also have many  that are not posted yet.  Adoption fees are $60 for adult cats and kittens over 6 months old, $100 for kittens (under 6 months) and $30 for senior cats (7 years+) to help cover vet bills for spay/neuter, basic vaccinations, testing, microchips and preventatives.  No cat will be officially adopted without being spayed/neutered and vaccinated (unless there are health risks in doing so).  We highly recommend adopting kittens in pairs and we do discount for double adoptions here to encourage it.   We are always in need of donations to help us continue to save hundreds of cats and kittens every year.  Visit bit.ly/DonateFLR for more info. Be sure to check us out on Facebook at  bit.ly/KittyCornerFB and "LIKE" our page and share our posts!
