Story

** PA Foster/Adopter Needed! Meet Buddy: Buddy is a friendly Husky/Pyrenees/Shepherd/Golden Retriever mix that is approximately 1.5 years old (as of January 2026) and weighs 90 pounds. Buddy was found as a stray in a MS subdivision going from house to house looking for someone to help him. Thankfully he walked up to the right home and the family brought him into their home until he found a foster in PA. Buddy is being fostered in the Pottstown, PA area while he waits for his forever family to come get him. Buddy is very friendly and loves people. Buddy loves being outside either alone or with another dog. He plays nicely with his furry foster sisters, one his size and the other half his size, but does not like male dogs. We recommend no small dogs or small children because Buddy plays hard and does not realize his size. Buddy is your typical Husky/Pyrenes mix. He is very intelligent but has a stubborn side too. He knows a few commands – sit, down, paw, and look. Buddy will need additional patience and training as he continues to learn not to jump up and hug you to say hello, walk nicely on a leash, and not to counter surf. Buddy's Pyrenes and Husky show though the most as he guards the home and occasionally howls as Huskies do. Buddy is crate trained and has not had one accident in the home. In the evening, he settles and hangs out with his human and other dogs in the home. Buddy definitely needs a fenced in yard and a family that is very active. Buddy is up to date on all his shots and neutered. If you are interested in adopting this sweet boy, please go to our website at charliescrusaders.org and fill out our adoption application. REQUIREMENTS: Fenced in yard and a female dog in the home. CURRENT LOCATION: Foster Home in Pottstown, PA 19464 Kennel License #17584 ##2367372##

Story

Meet Georgia: Georgia is a 15 week old (as of May 18, 2026) pit / hound mix (best guess) that weighs about 15 pounds. This sweet artist litter (Artemisia (Arte), Georgia and Frida) was rescued from a ditch on the side of the road in Mississippi. These fun, curious, creative, cuties were named for famous painters after they knocked over a bucket of paint after arriving at their foster home. Georgia is being fostered in the south and would love to catch the next freedom ride north to Pennsylvania to meet more prospective families! Georgia, and this full litter, is a group of your typical very playful, sweet and cuddly puppies! Georgia loves playing with her toys. Georgia has been great with other dogs and even cats. Georgia really enjoys human companionship and wants to be near her people. She has done well with children, too! Georgia is crate trained. As a puppy, Georgia will need some patience while she works on her house training. We would love for Georgia to have a home with a fenced in yard for her to run and play freely. Georgia is up to date on her puppy shots and will need to be spayed when age appropriate. If you are interested in giving this creative girl lots of love and a great life, please go to Charlie’s Crusaders website (www.charliescrusaders.org) to fill out an application.

Meet Panda: Panda is a 12 week old (as of June 19, 2026) border collie mix (best guess) that weighs about 14 pounds. This sweet boy was surrendered to a humane society with his sister (Rainbow) when their owners couldn’t care for the young pups. Panda is being fostered in the south and would love to catch the next freedom ride north to Pennsylvania to meet more prospective families! Panda and Rainbow are both very sweet, cuddly and friendly puppies! They are very people friendly and love everyone they meet. Panda loves toys and running in the yard. As a puppy, Panda will need some patience while he works on his house training, but he’s started working on the concept and is doing really well already. Panda is doing well with leash training and is already crate trained. We would love for Panda to have a home with a fenced in yard for him to run and play freely as he grows. Panda is up to date on his puppy shots and will need to be neutered when age appropriate.

This litter of cuties (Gracey, Sadie, Brandi, Molly, Goldie, Snoopy, Dottie and Daisy) was found as strays with their mom in a rural area in Mississippi. Luckily the person who spotted them took them and dropped them at a local animal shelter. We heard about the need to get them into a rescue and were able to step up. Molly is being fostered in the Lititz, PA area and would love to meet her forever family! Molly, and this full litter, is a group of very active, sweet, friendly and loving pups. Molly is a confident girl that loves to play. She is great with other dogs and loves zooming around the yard, playing with toys, and cuddling on your lap. Molly has been around cats and is interested in them. She will run and bark at them and then lick her new little friends. Molly is a house training super star: she hasn't had any accidents in her foster home! She is crate trained. She would love another dog in her forever home to play with! Molly is very smart- she is learning commands and not to jump up on people. We would love for Molly to have a home with a fenced in yard for her to run and play freely. Molly is up to date on her puppy shots and will need to be spayed when age appropriate.
