Story
Scrappy is a loyal, intelligent 10-year-old dog who has been with me since he was only two months old. He has a protective spirit and a big bark, but he has never harmed anyone or another pet. He is fully house-trained, knows many tricks, and still shows the confident personality that made him such an incredible companion all these years. He is gentle, alert, and loves being close to his person. Rehoming him is one of the hardest decisions I’ve ever faced. I developed severe allergies and asthma this past year, and even with treatment, my health has been affected. Scrappy deserves a loving, steady home where he can enjoy his senior years with someone who will appreciate his loyalty, his intelligence, and his sweet, protective nature. He has been the best dog anyone could ask for, and I want him to have a home that will love him as much as I always have.

Story
My wife got her as a puppy in Colorado. She was mostly raised in a dog house in their back yard while getting some training. Though about 5 years ago we moved to Pennsylvania and she has lived inside the house ever since. She is getting a little older but still loves to play. She is house trained, but doesn't like to be completely alone. We have a second dog who She gets along with after some adjustments. We also have a cat who Shadow is very curious of but doesn't understand the concept of giving the cat space. Shadow also loves going down slides at play grounds. Recently had a daughter who Shadow is very attentive towards. However with all the changes going on we're finding it hard to care for her with the same attention. We want to give her to a good home where she can get the love and attention she enjoys.

Story
Meet Elian ❄️ Elian came to us as a stray from Maryland with little known about his past, but he’s quickly showing us who he is now — a sweet, attentive boy with a big heart. When Elian arrived, he was thin with rough, weathered ears, suggesting a hard start in life. Despite that, he is incredibly lovable and eager to connect. He’s food motivated and enjoys learning, and we’ve recently discovered that he loves playing in the snow — a simple joy that seems to make him truly happy. Elian is looking for a home that will continue to show him kindness, warmth, and stability, and help him leave his rough beginnings behind.
