Story
Moses is a 6 year old German shepherd and collie mix. I raised him since he was a puppy. He was gifted to me by a friend and for the past 5 years he has bee a loyal, fun, playful dog. He's great with other dogs and kids. Unfortunetely due to my family expanding by welcoming my daughter and both, me and my wife's work, it has been very hard to make time to take care of him. My job requires me to travel quite often every week, I'm gone 3-4 days out of the week. My wife also works from very early to early evening, sometimes later, and with the baby, unfortunately, He has become an extra weight on her while I'm gone. With our carreers growth it will become more difficult for us to take care of him. Moses is a very playful dog. He is filled with excitement and energy and it's gotten difficult to keep up with him. I would prefer if he goes to a family that has the time to give him the attention he deserves and care he more than deserves.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Mashed Tater — but everyone calls him TATER! Tater is a young Shiba Inu mix pup with a heart as big as his love for playtime. He came from an overcrowded household where he didn’t receive much one-on-one attention, so he can be a little shy when first meeting new people. Give him a little time, though, and his fun, affectionate personality comes shining through. This active, happy pup loves his toys and especially enjoys playing with the other dogs in his foster home. He’s doing very well with housetraining and is crate trained, making him a great candidate for a smooth transition into his forever home. Tater gets along wonderfully with other dogs in his foster home (cats are unknown), and he absolutely adores his foster brother Dexter, a small doxie. The two are inseparable, which is why Tater truly MUST HAVE a home with another friendly dog to help him feel secure and happy. After his neuter surgery, Tater showed off his best charm and earned a spot sleeping in bed with his foster mom — where he promptly snuggled in and went straight to sleep. It was a sweet glimpse of the loving companion he’s ready to be. Tater is neutered, up to date on vaccines, and on monthly flea, tick, and heartworm prevention. He’s hoping the New Year brings him what he wants most of all — a permanent home filled with patience, play, and a canine buddy to call family. Could Tater be the missing piece to your pack? &#226&#156&#168Visit 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 Rudy Joe Rudy Joe is a 3-year-old red miniature poodle who is just beginning to discover how wonderful life can be. Raised in a breeding facility, Rudy arrived to us matted and bedraggled, unsure of the world beyond his small kennel. But after a warm bath, a fresh groom, and lots of gentle love, his sweet personality truly came alive. Now Rudy is all about the good life! He loves cuddling in bed with his foster mom and her three canine companions—both big and small. He also lives peacefully with a cat and is doing very well with housetraining. Rudy Joe has been neutered, is up to date on vaccines (with one booster scheduled in two weeks), and is on monthly flea, tick, and heartworm prevention. He is currently being lovingly fostered in the Northumberland, PA community, where he continues to blossom more every day. Rudy Joe is ready for a home where he can keep learning what it means to be cherished—snuggles included.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Adam Wiggleton!UPDATE from ADAM's FOSTER MOM:  Meet Adam, my ridiculously energetic foster dog who's always game for a walk or hike, loves kids, dogs, and protecting his bird feeder from those pesky squirrels, while simultaneously being a deer-watching enthusiast, sunbathing pro, and if going for ice cream he's ready to go with his other furry siblings..oh, and he's trained to ask politely to go out, this scruffy guy is now looking for his forever home!! Santa didn't bring me a home for Christmas - but I'm hoping for my very own home in the New Year. Breed? Your guess is as good as ours — let’s just call him a “Certified Scruff Mix.” At about two years old, this handsome fellow is neutered, up to date on vaccines, and ready to wiggle right into your heart. Adam was found starving as a stray (we suspect he was abandoned), but he hasn’t let his past dim his spirit. He’s now thriving — full of joy, personality, and just the right amount of mischief.  If his demeanor doesn't suck you right in--his soulful eyes certainly will. He’s a total social butterfly: adores kids, adults, and every dog he’s met. He currently shares his home with two canine buddies and we are looking for a home for him with another friendly companion as he loves, loves, loves to play.  Adam is an outdoorsy guy who loves hiking, zooming around with friends, and attending local baseball games with his foster mom — he’s practically the team’s unofficial mascot! &#226&#154&#190 He hasn't lived with cats while in our care, but he has barked and given chase to the stray cats, rabbits, and squirrels when spotted in his foster's back yard.His only “flaw”? He’s a professional countersurfer. We blame his rough start in life… but he’s quick, clever, and very proud of his title. (Foster mom update: this is improving!) Adam is on monthly flea/tick/heartworm prevention and is being lovingly fostered in the Selinsgrove area. If you’re looking for a loyal, funny, adventure-loving companion (with a PhD in snack detection), Adam Wiggleton is your guy! &#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.

Shortbread—now known as Chili—is unfortunately looking for a new forever home, and she’s hoping it’s with you. &#239&#184&#143   Chili is 2.5 years old, spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines. She’s a big, beautiful girl at around 70 lbs with an even bigger personality! Chili adores people, is fantastic with young children, and soaks up attention like a pro. She’s a bit dog selective, so she’d shine best as the only dog in the home—more love and tennis balls just for her! Speaking of which, playing ball is her favorite sport, but she’d also be thrilled to join you on hikes and outdoor adventures. After a day of fun, Chili is perfectly happy to kick back and lounge by your side.   Good news for feline fans: Chili is OK with cats! &#226&#156&#168 This is a courtesy post, so approved applications will be sent directly to her owner, who will help choose Chili’s perfect match.
