Story
Jackson has been in our family since he was 8 weeks old. He was born on May 3rd, 2023, and we acquired him from an experienced breeder. He needs updated vaccinations and check-up. Jackson is very patient around children. He is microchipped. Unfortunately, I will be selling my house by December 2025 and many of the rentals in the area either do not allow dogs or have a strict weight restriction so we can’t bring him along.

Jazz is a very calm dog. His favorite time is autumn because he can run after the leaves. He loves to play outside and he is a very faithful dog. We have him with him for 5 years. He is trained to go outside. Unfortunately, due to my girls' health conditions we can't continue with him, but his next owner will enjoy his company a lot!

Pachi

Miniature Pinscher Toy Fox Terrier

Female, 3 yrs
Columbia, PA
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Not good with kids, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
This adorable, spunky, silly girl is heartbroken because she has absolutely zero interest from anyone wanting to adopt her. She has now set the record for the longest dog in our foster program. Pachi has been with us for a year and a half and prior to our rescue she had been in a shelter for several months. Pachi is the cutest little dog with the coolest ears. She is much smaller than she appears in her photos. (Under 30lbs). Pachi is a true gem, and we can't explain how lucky her person will be once they find each other. She's shown incredible growth but needs a home with structure and routine to continue to grow. Pachi finds joy in the simple pleasures of life, like chasing a toy or curling up on the couch and loves to share blueberries and bananas for breakfast with her foster mom. Pachi is most comfortable with women but is open to anyone with a soft side. She would do best with an adult-only home, or with older children. Pachi likes to be the center of attention, so no other pets. She is not a fan of felines. Pachi prefers a home with a fenced in yard to run around in. We know that her person/people are out there, but we need your help to find this deserving girl her much deserved forever home. Please share. We would like Pachi to stay within Central PA or if the perfect home is found we would consider someone further away. “Dogs have a way of finding the people who need them and filling the emptiness we didn’t ever know we had.” - Thom Jones

Story
Bear is a large goofy exuberant puppy who requires lots of exercise and patience. He clearly is a stunning dog and therefore everyone wants to take him home. He will require a dog savvy person or someone committed to following through with training and providing lots of exercise. Bear is looking for a home with a fenced in yard not an underground fence but a physical one. Bear can be protective of his toys and food, but only with other dogs. Bear is not a “dog park”dog.Please message us for more details home visit and adoption donation required

Story
This is our Banks, we call him Banksy Boy, hes 2yrs old, birthday is April 15th. We got him as a puppy from a friend who had a litter, he is 75% husky and 25% German Shepard. Hes smart, independent and energetic. He wouldnt hurt a fly, hes super curious and loves one on one time. He knows commands like sit, down, stay, come, place (means he goes to his dog bed) and paw. He is house trained and crate trained. Unfortunately we are unable to give him the life he needs, my fiance and I work 12hr days and hate that he doesnt get the exercise he really needs. This breed is known for high energy so he needs room to run and play. We are so sad to do this but we know its the best thing for him. Hes still a puppy and we want him to have a full life where he can be himself!
