Story
Sam aka Samantha is a loyal, energetic, protective fur missile. While she does wells with cats I truly believe she’d be best suited as an only pet. She prefers females and is 2.5 yrs old. She does well with older teens as I have a 16 and 18 yr old. She needs a job and someone experienced with the breed, honestly if she was given proper training I feel she would be an amazing service animal. Unfortunately, I do not have the time, funds, to do so as well as she does not get along with our pittie Ozzy, she does get along with our Golden Seth but she is your typical Alpha female. Her rehoming fee is small but my biggest concern is a good home despite she cannot stay with us any longer. She’s been dealt a crappy hand by the person who was supposed to be her owner. It’s unfair for her.

Story
Looking for the perfect adventure buddy with some of the cutest radar ears you have ever seen? Our sweet Toby has completed his professional training and is ready to go on all of the adventures with his forever family! Toby is a 4-year-old, 52 lb shepherd mix. He is a super smart guy and loves affection from his people. Toby enjoys meeting new people and has lived with children in the past. Older children living in his forever home are recommended at this time to give him a better chance of success in his new home, but he has been around smaller children and is good with them. Toby gets along with dogs but can be dog selective. He tends to be more dominant in his play with other dogs, so very submissive dogs are not recommended for him to live with. Cats are unknown.  An active family is recommended for Toby to give him the enrichment and exercise he needs to be his best self. Throughout his professional training with Gypsy K9 Solutions he has learned so much, so will be the perfect dog to take hiking and out and about with amazing manners. He came to Gypsy K9 with some guarding behaviors but has learned the release command and has been doing amazing! An owner who is a strong pack leader and will continue the training that he has learned will set him up for the most success in his new home.  Toby is house and crate trained, he can also be trusted outside of the crate when home alone. He is neutered up to date on vaccines and preventatives, as well as a heartworm survivor, now negative! Toby is hanging out with our friends at Gypsy K9 Solutions in Gettysburg, PA! Apply today! Once approved you can meet this awesome guy, and he can show off all his cool new skills he has learned.  New Oxford PA 17350; LIC # 9736 We are PA Caring for K-9's, an all-breed dog rescue that is solely run by volunteers.

Story
PA meet Azul! This black and white hound mix came to PA in search of a furever family! Azul is a spayed, 53 pound, 2 year old and a heart worm survivor! Azul can be timid at first but it doesn’t last long before she starts to come out of her shell and then she’s playful and seeks out pets by nudging you with her nose! She is dog friendly but would say no cats or critters due to her prey drive. She is house/crate trained (although she does a protest dance which is pretty cute   before going in her crate  ) She needs to learn some leash manners (especially when she sees critters out and about)but she seems like a smart eager to please gal! She is up to date with vaccines and preventatives. And she’s patiently waiting for a family of her own in Dillsburg, Pennsylvania.
