I'm free to adopt thanks to a generous donor!Hey there, I'm Annie, a charming grey-faced sweetheart on a quest to find my forever home! When it comes to people, I'm an absolute lovebug who craves affection and enjoys being in close proximity. I thrive on attention and would be overjoyed to have all your love and care to myself.

Story
Hi there! My name is Roberta, and I'm so excited to introduce myself to you. I may come off a little shy at first, but give me some time, treats, and a bit of patience, and you'll see my true colors shine!I'm a 4-year-old American Pitbull with a heart of gold. When we go for walks, you'll notice that I walk well on leash. Sure, I could pull hard if I wanted to, but I prefer to stay close to you, enjoying the journey and taking in all the scents of the flowers along the way.Once I warm up to you, get ready for some surprises! Despite my initial shyness, I'm actually a secret cuddle bug. When I'm comfortable with you, I'll seek out your attention and show you just how much love I have to give.Overall, I'm a very friendly girl who's just waiting for the right person to bring out the best in me. Are you looking for a sweet and kind companion to join your family? Come meet me, Roberta, and let's see if we're a perfect match!Available at the Animal Rescue League of Berks County, Birdsboro Pa 19508, KL#1257 Primary Color: White Secondary Color: Apricot Weight: 64.6 Age: 4yrs 3mths 1wks

Story
Phantom's adoption fee has been sponsored by a generous donor!Hey there, I'm Phantom, and I'm here to bring some laughter and love into your life! At 3 years old, I've mastered the art of being a funny guy. I can be incredibly friendly once I get to know you, but sometimes I give off mixed signals when I'm feeling unsure or in new situations.You'll notice my body language can be a bit tricky to read-I might go from loose and wiggly to stiff quite quickly. It's just my way of figuring things out! Despite my quirks, I do know how to sit like a champ, and I absolutely adore getting my back scratched. It's my little slice of heaven!Currently, I'm dealing with some skin issues that are being treated, but that doesn't dampen my spirit. When it comes to other dogs, I'd prefer to meet them first to see if we hit it off. A low-key canine companion who respects my space would be ideal for me. As for cats, well, let's just say we wouldn't be the best of friends.Due to my nervous behavior, I'd thrive best in a home with older children, aged 12 and up, who can understand and respect my need for patience and calm. It's also important that the whole family comes to meet me so we can make sure we're a perfect match.If you're looking for a lovable, quirky companion who will keep you entertained and love you fiercely once we're comfortable together, then I'm your guy, Phantom! Come meet me and let's see if we can start our journey together.Available at the Animal Rescue League of Berks County, Birdsboro Pa 19508, KL#1257 Primary Color: Grey Secondary Color: White Weight: 60.5 Age: 3yrs 3mths 1wks

Story
Hello there! My name is Opie, and I'm here to steal your heart with my sweet nature and gentle soul. At nine years young, I may be a senior coonhound, but don't let that fool you-I've still got plenty of pep in my step and love to give!Short leash walks are recommended for me due to my age, but don't worry-I absolutely adore exploring and taking in all the scents and sights around me. I walk well on leash, so you can count on me to be your perfect walking buddy.Now, I'll admit, I can be a bit nervous in certain situations at first, but once I get to know you and feel comfortable, I open up easily. Meeting new people and making friends is something I excel at-I haven't met a person yet who I didn't think was a potential new best friend.When it comes to other dogs, I get along famously with my fellow canines, especially those who share my mellow demeanor. There's nothing quite like a good old-fashioned doggy playdate or a leisurely stroll with a furry friend by my side.Here's what I'm looking for: a loving home where I can spend my golden years surrounded by affection and care. I thrive in calm and nurturing environments, so if you're someone who enjoys quiet moments and the companionship of a loyal canine companion, I might just be the perfect match for you.So, if you're ready to add a dash of sweetness and a whole lot of love to your life, look no further than Opie. Come meet me-I'm ready to show you just how wonderful life can be with a seasoned gentleman like me in your corner.Available at the Animal Rescue League of Berks County, Birdsboro Pa 19508, KL#1257 Primary Color: Red Secondary Color: White Weight: 77.6 Age: 9yrs 2mths 3wks

Story
Hey there! My name is Screech, and I'm a 1-year-old American Pit Bull with a heart as big as my smile. I might have a name that sounds a bit dramatic, but I promise I'm anything but!Let me tell you a bit about myself. First off, people are my absolute favorite! I'm super friendly and love nothing more than snuggling up with my human friends. I'm great with adults, kids, you name it - as long as they're ready to give me some love, I'm all in!Now, here's the thing - I can get a bit nervous around other dogs. It's not that I don't like them, I just need a little time to get to know them properly. So, I'd do best with slow and patient introductions to any doggie pals you might already have. With the right approach, I'm sure I'll make friends in no time!I'm an active pup who loves going for walks, playing fetch, and maybe even learning a few tricks if you have some treats handy. I'm also a champ at lounging around and watching movies with you.I'm hoping to find a home with someone who understands that I have a lot of love to give, especially when it comes to people. If you're looking for a loyal companion who will always be excited to see you and will keep you company through thick and thin, look no further - I'm your guy!So, what do you say? Ready to meet me and see if we're a perfect match?Available at the Animal Rescue League of Berks County, Birdsboro Pa 19508, KL#1257 Primary Color: Grey Secondary Color: White Weight: 48.3 Age: 1yrs 2mths 2wks
