Story
KYRA 2 years LYRA 1 year Attributes Bonded pair Dog friendly Adult-only home Not best for apartments Housetrained Need a fenced yard Kyra and Lyra are a beautiful, young, bonded pair of small girls who are ready to find a loving home together. They came from a breeder situation and are now discovering how wonderful life in a home can be. With each passing day in their foster home, they continue to grow in confidence and show just how special they are. These two are inseparable and share a sweet, devoted bond—they truly do everything together. Kyra, about 2 years old, is the more confident of the pair. Whether it’s heading outside or settling in for bedtime, she helps show Lyra the way. Kyra is curious and gently explores her surroundings, and once she feels comfortable, she enjoys back scratches, belly rubs, treats, and even following her foster family around. She loves cozy spots—whether that’s by your feet, on the couch, or snuggled up with a dog friend. Lyra, around 1½ years old, is a thoughtful and observant girl who still requires encouragement from Kyra and other dogs. While she is reserved, she is clearly interested in connecting and has already made progress—taking treats by hand and choosing to rest near her foster mom. With time and patience, her sweet personality will continue to shine through. Both girls have made good strides since arriving in foster care. They are learning to relax, enjoy a predictable routine, and feel safe in their environment. Because of this, they would do best in a home in a quiet suburban or rural neighborhood – apartment living and the hustle and bustle of city life is not for them! They would prefer an adult-only home, but a quiet home with calm, older children might also be a viable option. Car rides are not on their list of favorite things to do, but hopefully over time they will learn that car rides can lead to fun. They love having cozy spaces to unwind and will happily play, run, and wrestle together when they think no one is watching! Their playful side really comes out with each other and with other friendly dogs. Kyra and Lyra are housetrained with only occasional accidents and do best with regular outdoor access, so a fenced yard will help them continue to succeed. They haven’t yet learned leash walking but are making progress every day in building trust and confidence. These gentle, loving girls are looking for a patient and understanding home that will continue to nurture their growth. In return, they will offer a special bond—not only with each other, but with the lucky family who gives them the chance to fully blossom into the happy, loving companions they are meant to be. NOTE: Dogs may be located in any of our six volunteer states (WI, IL, IN, OH, PA, MI).

Story
So I found this dog roaming around my street and I decided to take him in to feed him. I’ve had him for a couple months but ultimately I do not have the means or time to continue to take care of him. He seems to be young. He will follow you everywhere but not all the time when he wants to be curious. He can be clingy but I assume it’s because he is young. He likes to be outside. I hope that he finds a home that is willing to take care of him or has the time to. He is just learning the world so he needs extra attention.

Story
Meet our sweet boy, Kiowa. This sweet boy came in as a stray, so we can't say much about his history but he has clearly seen some battles. This kind soul loves nothing more than leaning his head in for a hug and a scratch on the back, reassured that he is home and safe. Kiowa has been jumpy around small children, so he may do better with dog-savvy or older children. Come meet this kind fellow at our East End shelter today!

Story
Say hello to Witch Hazel! She came to us as a stray and we have so far been loving her here! This girl is ATHLETIC. She loves to sprint, jump, roll around, catch, and I'm sure swim, too. She is goofy and has puppy energy and definitely would thrive in a home where she can get her energy out for as long as she needs to, daily! She would be an excellent adventure buddy if you are the type of person who goes hiking, camping, to the beach, on runs and everything in between! She's gotten raving reviews from field trippers, including that she's a "very good cuddler" and "an angel". Witch Hazel loves a good chew toy and any activity involving sniffing. She is still learning how to appropriately interact with other dogs, so she may do well with another dog who would be very tolerant of her shenanigans. We're not sure how she feels about cats and she may be too much energy for young children. Come and meet this exuberant girl today!

Story
Meet Orzo! This little lady is an absolute delight. She's got a heart of gold and a fantastic personality to match. She definitely has been a mom in the past, but now she's ready for everything to be all about her. Coming to us as a stray, she started out as a bit of a mystery, but the more we've gotten to know her, the more we've come to love her. She knows sit, loves treats, and absolutely loves getting pet and giving kisses. She's part of our play group, which means she plays well with other dogs during scheduled playtime at the shelter. If you have a dog at home, this is good new for you; they might just become best friends! Orzo still has a ton of puppy energy and likes to play rowdy and have lots of active fun. If a young, happy, gorgeous, gorgeous girl is who you're looking for, come spend some time with her today at our East End location!

Meet D.O.G.! D.O.G. (pronounced dee-oh-gee) is a handsome young fella who is chock-full of energy! He would be a great dog for somebody that is very active and wants a running or exercise partner! D.O.G. doesn't just love running, he loves playing and getting butt scratches, too! He has done great in our playgroups and could be a good fit for another high energy bud! He's a pretty independent, confident and goofy fella. Could he be the one for you? Humane Animal Rescue of Pittsburgh East End- 6926 Hamilton Ave Pittsburgh, Pa 15208 Kennel License #: 1043
