Story
Oakley came into rescue through a veterinary office. He was a under weight, neutered 5 1/2 yrs old who needed time to decompress. He is unknown to young children. However, he is good with children 11 years and up. He is having a great time playing with his new dog friend in his foster home. He has a big appetite, eats 3 times a day, and is one of the sweetest Danes you'll ever meet. He does have Addisons disease but this can be helped with a bit of prednisone. He also has pancreatic insufficiency, an enlarged heart, and Giardia but we are continuing to obtain medical services for him. He is not aware of his size so he will need direction when playing too rough. He will have a training contract as he loves to go for walks. However, if given enough lead he will pull you over. He is unknown with cats. If you're interested in a sweet Dane who loves walks and is a joy to be around, Oakley is your boy! Please include your home area code and a phone number where a volunteer can reach you when contacting us about an adoption.

Story
Kira is looking for a fresh start in life. Kira came to us after having been hit by a car which resulted in her having to lose her eye but she doesn't let that stop her. She is back to full health and loving life! Kira is a 2-year old, dog friendly, loves stuffies and bones but most of all she loves to be with her people. We would assume she would be good with kids and cats but we haven't seen her around them, yet. Kira is doing well with house training and is crate trained. Have a fenced yard? She loves to romp around and get her energy out. Think Kira would be the perfect fit?

Story
Luna is a lovable, female bully. She is approximately 4 years old and is absolutely adorable. She loves people, especially kids, and gets along well with cats. She has a lot of trauma from other dogs (she is a shelter rescue from Oklahoma) so she may not be best suited for homes with other dogs. Luna loves to snuggle, give kisses, and play outside. She adores walks and pets. She has no major health issues and is house trained, potty trained, leash trained, and even off-leash trained. If you are looking for a cozy pup to snuggle and have some outdoor adventures with, Luna is the dog for you!

Story
Meet Peach! Peach is an incredibly loving and silly dog who needs a steady home and a solid routine. Peach can be a little nervous when you first meet her. It takes time for her to open up, but once she does you'll see how amazing she really is. Once she gets to know you she loves to cuddle and insists that she is a lap dog. Peach has an energetic side as well! She enjoys playing with the other dogs in the shelter. If you're looking for a loyal, loving dog, Peach is the one for you!

Story
This sweet girl came into the shelter as a stray with her friend (Waffles) and sadly, she was little more than skin and bones. Poptart has been on quite the healing journey, and look at her now! She’s been gaining weight and showing us just how resilient she really is. Poptart is ready to put the tough part of her story behind her. She’s almost ready to be spayed and, most importantly, ready to find the forever home she’s been waiting for. She’s gone from barely getting by to ready for a life filled with full meals, comfy naps, and a family of her very own. Come meet this sweet little Poptart and give her the happily-ever-after she deserves! **PRE ADOPTION ONLY - AWAITING SPAY/NEUTER** I am awaiting to be altered so I am only available for meet and greets and may not go to my forever home until after my surgery date. I cannot meet potential adopters on my surgery day. Coming Soon at the Animal Rescue League of Berks County, Birdsboro Pa 19508, KL#1257
