Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Rocky Road! This one-year-old pittie mix is as sweet as his name and always ready for his next adventure! Rocky loves heading out for walks where he can put his nose to work—especially when there are squirrels to investigate. &#239&#184&#143 He’s a friendly guy who enjoys meeting new people and makes fast friends wherever he goes. Rocky weighs about 40 lbs, making him the perfect medium-sized sidekick for hikes, road trips, and couch snuggles. He’s a big fan of car rides, games of fetch, and long naps after a good play session. When the fun is over, he’s more than happy to curl up and cuddle. He does well with respectful dogs and is crate trained (though he’s only been crated for short periods—about 3–4 hours on rare occasions). Rocky would do best in a home without cats or small children. He could also use a little polishing on his leash manners, but he’s a smart boy who will learn quickly! If you’re looking for a loyal adventure buddy who’s equal parts playful explorer and professional snuggler, Rocky Road might just be your perfect match. &#226&#157&#164&#239&#184&#143Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ Click here for the ADOPTION APPLICATION if you are interested in adopting this pet.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Vinny!  Vinny a 5-year-old Australian Shepherd mix weighing about 50 pounds, and he’s the perfect blend of fun, affection, and adventure. This handsome guy is neutered, housetrained, and ready to find a family that will love his energetic spirit as much as he loves life.   Vinny is what we like to call a “professional greeter.” He absolutely loves people and will happily welcome you home with excitement and a wagging tail. Being around his humans is one of his favorite things, whether it’s hanging out in the yard, going for a ride in the car, joining you for the day’s adventures or snuggling by your side for a night in.   True to his Aussie roots, Vinny enjoys being outdoors and staying active. Playtime is a highlight of his day, and he’d be a great companion for someone who enjoys walks, outdoor time, or exploring new places together.   Vinny can live with other dogs, but he prefers slow introductions so everyone can become friends at a comfortable pace. He would do best in a home without cats. Because of his enthusiasm and zest for life, Vinny would likely thrive with older kids who can match his playful energy.   If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will greet you like a celebrity every time you walk through the door, Vinny might just be your perfect match.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ Click here for the ADOPTION APPLICATION if you are interested in adopting this pet.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Mashed Tater — but everyone calls him TATER! Tater hasn’t had the kind of start any dog deserves. He came to us in November as part of our “Thanksgiving Crew,” rescued from a home where he lived with nearly 16 other dogs. We were only able to bring six of the younger dogs to safety, leaving others behind—a reality that still weighs heavily on us. These dogs had never felt grass under their paws. They didn’t know what a collar or leash was. Their world was overcrowded, chaotic, and built on survival. There was no structure, no security—only a pack mentality where the strongest got by. Out of all of them, Tater carries the deepest emotional scars. He is not a bad dog—he is a scared one. When he feels overwhelmed or threatened, he can react out of fear. What he needs isn’t punishment—it’s patience, understanding, and someone willing to help him feel safe in a world that has never been kind to him. Tater is crate trained and house trained. He does well with other dogs and genuinely enjoys playing, though his style can be a bit rough due to his past. He would do best with a confident dog who can tolerate him while he learns appropriate play. He will need a home without children, and we are unsure how he would do with cats. ⭐️What Tater needs most right now is someone experienced—either a trainer or a dedicated handler—who understands fearful dogs and is willing to invest the time to help him grow. ⭐️He needs exposure to new experiences at his own pace, guidance to build confidence, and reassurance that he is safe. An in-home environment would be ideal, as a kennel setting may only increase his fear. ⭐️We are searching for someone truly special. Someone patient. Someone compassionate. Someone who sees past the fear and believes in the dog underneath it. Tater deserves a chance—not just to exist, but to feel safe, to trust, and to be happy. With the right person, we truly believe he can get there. Please don't wait.....if you have the experience and the heart to help him, please reach out. He needs you.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ Click here for the ADOPTION APPLICATION if you are interested in adopting this pet.

Story
I raised Sasha from birth and she is a great dog! She's very affectionate and loves to be right there with you! It takes her awhile to get to know new people, but when she does she's normally fine. She is 6.5 years old, but still has so much energy! She plays fetch perfectly, knows how to sit, and is pretty much crate trained. She loves walks and swimming in any water she can find. ACA registered.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Tiffany – 6-Year-Old Bichon Frise Tiffany is a beautiful 6-year-old Bichon Frise who is spayed, up to date on vaccines, and ready to begin the next chapter of her life. After spending the first six years of her life in a breeding situation producing puppies, Tiffany is finally getting the chance to discover what it means to be a cherished family member. Now it's her turn to receive the love, comfort, and attention she has always deserved. Tiffany is dog and cat friendly, sweet-natured, and loves to be cuddled. While she can be a little shy at first, she is learning that people can be kind and trustworthy. She's also learning how to walk on a leash and is making steady progress as she experiences all the things that are new to her. One thing Tiffany has made very clear is that she thrives with canine companionship. She has become especially attached to the male Cavalier in her foster home, often choosing to snuggle up and share a bed with her best friend. Because of this, having another friendly, confident dog in her forever home is very important to Tiffany's happiness and well-being. She looks to other dogs for comfort, confidence, and guidance as she learns how to 'be a dog.' Tiffany is a gentle, loving little girl with so much affection to give. With patience, understanding, and a canine companion by her side, she will blossom into a devoted and loyal family member. Lovingly fostered in the Lewisburg area.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ Click here for the ADOPTION APPLICATION if you are interested in adopting this pet.
