Story
This is Nyla, our sweet 6 year old husky. She loves treats, gets the zoomies when she's excited, & enjoys sitting outside watching people walk by. She is a very loving dog & has been a cherished member of our family.Rehoming her is one of the hardest decisions we've had to make. Between a growing family, busy schedules, & the needs of our young children, we aren't able to give her the time and exercise she deserves. We want to find her a home where she can thrive & get all the attention, adventures, & love that huskies need.

Story
This sweet 7 year old boy is looking for a new home due to him not doing great with out baby. He is good with older kids and he loves people women especially. We did have a golden retriever and he did amazing with her they were super close. My mom had cats when I lived there and he did good with them except pure black cats he tried to go after for some reason. He does have sensitive skin and he does need frequent ear cleaning and all due to his ears being chopped. He is a very loving sweet boy and I hope he can find a great home

Bruno is 6 yrs old. He is housebroken and neutered. He would do best with someone who is home more often or someone who can take him to work. Our family travels a lot and just don’t have time for him.

Story
Meet Ginger. She is estimated to be 2 year old, unknown mix breed, female. Small to medium size. She’s about 35 lbs. She's on the hunt for her furever home. She is a super sweet, timid and submissive girl. Ginger is very smart. She's learned to use stairs, is working on the dog door, is house training, and crate trained. She does prefer to be out of the crate. She has no food aggression. She gets along well with other dogs but not cats or chickens. As she is rather timid she would probably do best with older children. Ginger loves having her chest and belly rubbed. She was dumped, pregnant, in a driveway in the South. She has since had her babies who have all found their furever homes. She was heartworm positive but has completed her treatment so now it's time for her to find her furever home. Ginger is: Learning to be a dog rather than a mamma. Crate trained, although prefers to be out of the crate Sleeps through the night Loves playing with her foster siblings She has the most adorable grin when she's happy. Loves to play or relax outdoors House trained. She will whimper or yip if she needs to go out. She will walk on a lead but prefers to be at home or in a backyard where it's familiar. She is being fostered in Abbottstown, PA. Apply now https://forms.gle/LDjduj2zTk7vvmHU7 Pa LIC #17216

Story
If you’re looking for a handsome, affectionate, water-loving companion who has been doing some serious self-improvement, Holmes is your guy! This 3-year-old, 63-lb blend of Golden Retriever, Labrador Retriever, and Beagle is thriving in his foster home and proving just how much progress a dog can make with the right love and routine. Crate Superstar: Forget his past escape-artist reputation! Now, you just say "crate" and he walks right on in. He has had zero destructive behavior, no barking, and no breakout attempts. He is officially an excellent crate dog! Water Baby: We just discovered that Holmes absolutely loves to play and hang out in the water! If you have a pool or love the beach, you've found your new swimming buddy. Personal Space? What's That?: Holmes believes your space is his space. He is a total lean-in lover who wants nothing more than to be doted on and get endless belly rubs. Gentle Soul: He takes treats with the utmost gentleness. 🏡 Holmes' Ideal Home Kids & Dogs: He is great with kids and does wonderful with other dogs—as long as they match his vibe and aren't hyper or right in his face. Cats: A strict NO CATS for this boy. That Beagle nose loves a chase! Leash Life: He’s still working on his leash manners (again, blame that Beagle nose for finding every scent!), but he is steadily improving. Continued Success: Holmes has been thriving with professional guidance from Canine Services By Devin. His future family should be dedicated to keeping up his positive routine! 📋 Health & Logistics Age/Weight: 3 years old, 63 lbs Medical: Neutered, up-to-date on all vaccinations and monthly preventatives. Location: Fostered in Hanover, PA. Rescue Info: PA LIC #17216 https://forms.gle/LDjduj2zTk7vvmHU7

Story
  NAME: Jenkins BREED: Yorkie/Schnauzer Mix BIRTHDAY: 2013 WEIGHT: 15lbs ADOPTION FEE: $200   Jenkins is the happiest little fellow we've ever met! His little tail never stops wagging, and he's always up for an adventure outside, in the car, or with new people or animals, despite being completely blind. He does bump into things frequently but that never stops him from having a good time and making new friends. Jenkins' favorite things are back scratches, snacks, and naps. Although the shelter initially listed his age at 7, we believe he is a good deal older than that: however, he appears to be in good overall health and will complete his heartworm treatments in March. ​ Jenkins is currently in a foster home and they were hoping it would be a permanent stay, but with two young children (who Jenkins adores), house training has proven to be a bit much. We will gladly place Jenkins in a home with respectful kids, but his new family should be mindful that he does need to be supervised or kept in a confined area. He wears wraps with no issue so this is helpful. If you have a little patience and a lot of love to give, Jenkins will bring joy to your life!
