Story

Meet Tony: Tony is a 10 week old (as of May 21, 2026) boxer / hound mix (best guess) that weighs about 12 pounds. This litter of cuties (Zoc, Rix, Tony, Scarlett, Gus, Alvin and Vixen) was rescued with their mom (Raya) after they were surrendered to a high kill shelter. We are thankful that we have been able to have them grow up in foster care as opposed to the loud shelter life. Tony is being fostered in the south and would love to catch the next freedom ride north to Pennsylvania to meet more prospective families! Tony, and this full litter, is a group of playful, sweet and very cuddly puppies! Tony has been good with both other dogs and cats. Tony loves people! Tony is crate trained. As a puppy, Tony will need some patience while he works on his house training. We would love for Tony to have a home with a fenced in yard for him to run and play freely. Tony is up to date on his puppy shots and will need to be neutered when age appropriate. If you are interested in giving this sweetie lots of love and a great life, please go to Charlie’s Crusaders website (www.charliescrusaders.org) to fill out an application. CURRENT LOCATION: Mississippi, awaiting transport to PA. ##2739437##

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 Cody: Cody is a 15 week old (as of July 6, 2026) hound mix (best guess) that weighs about 20 pounds. This adorable litter of hounds (Ruby, Rosie, Zoe, Josie, Teddy, Jake, Levi, Cody and Wyatt) was dropped off by their owners at a high kill shelter at just 6 weeks old. The owners kept their mama, but discarded the pups. We are hopeful that mama will be spayed soon to avoid this happening again. Cody is being fostered in the south and would love to catch the next freedom ride north to Pennsylvania to meet more prospective families! Cody, and this full litter, is full of puppy playfulness, curiosity and cuteness! Cody is very friendly and loves meeting new people. Cody loves to play in the kiddie pool with his other doggie and human friends! As a puppy, Cody will need some patience while he works on his house training. We would love for Cody to have a home with a fenced in yard for him to run and play freely as he grows. Cody is up to date on his puppy shots and will need to be neutered when age appropriate.
