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 the Cats of Gettysburg at the Kitty Corner by Forever Love Rescue Meet Molly, a Love-A-Bull gem You would never guess that Molly is 13 years young. With a zest for life, the classic wiggly pittie butt, and a twinkle of wonder in her chocolate brown eyes, Molly paints the perfect picture of what a man’s best friend should be. With her unwavering loyalty to her people, and her subtly sweet ways of showing love when you need it most, Molly is guaranteed to be your perfect sidekick. Molly loves a good game of tug of war; and will play round after round if you “let her win.” She also has a fondness for her stuffed animal “babies.” They are her prized possessions. She enjoys playing her favorite self led game of “how fast can I get to the squeaker in my squeaky toy”, always aiming to beat her prior best score. Molly would never turn down an offer to play a quick game of frisbee. She may be a senior pup, but is young at heart with a playful spirit Molly is sweetly demeanored, has a gentleness with children, and has lived calmly with feline friends prior to coming to FLR. However, she has fear aggression with other dogs, and will need to be the only dog in her new household. Molly is a strong girl! She will pull hard on her leash when excitable. A private or fenced in yard is a requirement for her to safely exercise and get her zoomies out. An ideal home for Molly would be in a rural area where she can live worry free of canine neighbors, and enjoy all that country life has to offer her. Molly may have plenty of pep left in her step, but she is a world class cuddler once tuckered out. She would love nothing more than to curl up beside you in bed. Relaxing and being a couch potato along with her people is Molly’s favorite way to end the day. While Molly isn’t a fan of seeing other dogs on her adventures, she loves car rides! She would love to be your passenger princess on a ride through Apple country. Molly takes treats gently, knows a few basic commands such as sit, and is eager to please.Her people mean the world to her; she does not like to be away from them for long. A family that is home often would be most suitable for her. Molly is currently residing in a local foster home, but meetings with her can be easily arranged. Let’s find this sweet rednosed beauty the perfect home that she so very much deserves.

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!

Keanu

Havanese

Male, 2 yrs

Gettysburg, PA

Size

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

Details

Story

He didn’t do anything wrong - his life just changed.Keanu, a sweet 2-year-old Havanese, found himself starting over due to family circumstances. While he may not understand why everything became uncertain, he hasn’t let it change who he is. He remains exactly what his groomer called him: a perfect gentleman.At just 14 pounds, Keanu is the perfect little companion - small enough to fit easily into your life, but with a heart big enough to fill your home. He’s gentle, well-mannered, and seems to take the world in stride. Freshly groomed, neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped, he’s ready to walk right into his next chapter without missing a beat.He doesn’t seem particularly interested in other dogs, which means he’d likely be just fine sharing a home - or being perfectly content soaking up all the attention himself. What he truly wants is simple: to belong.Because what Keanu deserves this time is a forever kind of home. One where he isn’t just part of the picture when it’s convenient, but where he’s family - through all of life’s changes.Due to his small size, a home with older, respectful children would be the best fit, where he can feel safe and secure.If you’re looking for a loyal little companion who will quietly steal your heart and remind you every day what unconditional love looks like, Keanu has been waiting for you.
