Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Not good with dogs, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Got her from family that had a few other dogs, she is up to date on all her shots but is not spayed. She’s a great loving dog and very loyal, there have been a few occasions that she got out without a leash and all I had to do was start walking away and she came running straight back to me. I’ve been have a lot of trouble with training her on my own and had a change in my work schedule that unfortunately has made caring for her extremely difficult for me and her and I feel that I’m only doing a disservice to her if I try to keep her.

Luna

Chihuahua Pug

Female, 4 yrs 1 mo
Cheswick, PA
Size

Not good with kids, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Luna and Harry must stay together for Harry's sake. He is the more nervous and tends to shy from new things. Their brother Henry we were able to separate after many months of work with Henry going to visit for an hour or so and then extending the time. Sadly this didn't work for Harry. They are 3 1/2 years old. They had never been outside and we had to acclimatize them to the real world. It took a year before they would willingly walk out the door on leash. Both are very sweet dogs once they get to know you which doesn't take long. They are pee pad trained but are going outside now. Small children are not recommended as the pair are not well socialized with small kids and the pups would probably react badly to pulling or trying to be picked up the little ones. They do well with some dogs but not all they meet, with a little work they can adjust.

Story
Friendly, Independent, House-trained, Vaccinations up to date, neutered. Junior is a 9 yr lab mix 65lbs. Junior and another dog were left in a house by themselves for a year with former elderly owner feeding and watering once a day. She could no longer live in the house and was unable to take the dogs with her. Junior loves shredding his toys and getting the squeaker out, he loves the outside and going for walks. The rain and snow do not bother him at all. He rode well in the car going to the vet and was quite good in vet office. He is also comfortable without a lot of fuss and good at amusing himself. His housetraining is good as he goes out the doggie door and never made a mess inside. He is a very nice boy and deserves a loving home for the last years of his life.

Story
Banshee is an almost 2-year-old mixed-breed sweetheart weighing 40 lbs. Her estimated birthday is January 21st, so she’ll be celebrating soon—whether that’s in foster care or, hopefully, in her forever home! Banshee is dog-friendly and enjoys playing with other dogs. Her initial introduction to a cat went well, so she could do well in a home with a dog-savvy cat. She is getting better on a leash, but she can be strong and occassionally pull. Therefore she'll need consistent leash work. Banshee loves cuddling with her people, meeting new friends, lounging on soft dog beds, playing with plush toys, enjoying bully sticks, going for car rides, and having fun with her dog friends. So far, there isn’t much she dislikes. She is an absolute sweetheart with a great balance of playful and relaxed. She enjoys zoomies but is just as happy curling up as your cuddle buddy. She’s been doing great in the home with no accidents and continues to be calm and well-mannered in her crate. Banshee warms up quickly to new people and is affectionate and friendly. With other dogs, she truly opened up after just a few days. She already knows “sit,” is working on “down,” and comes when called. Overall, Banshee is an easygoing, loving girl who would make a wonderful companion. She is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, and will be available for adoption starting 1/18 through Paws Across Pittsburgh, Springdale, PA KL# 16182.  ##2631916##

Story
Darcy is a 3-month-old, 23-lb “31 flavors” mixed-breed puppy with a gorgeous brindle coat and the sweetest, most soulful eyes. Her mom is a petite 31-lb feist mix, and while dad is a mystery, with her little paws, we don't expect her to get too much larger, maybe medium in size. A little shy at first, Darcy quickly blossoms once she feels safe. She absolutely lights up around her human foster siblings (ages 6 and 9) and takes great comfort learning from her furry foster siblings, too. Watching her confidence grow has been a joy! Like any puppy her age, Darcy is still working on typical house and crate training and will thrive with consistency, patience, and positive reinforcement. While she hasn’t lived with cats, she could likely coexist with proper, slow introductions. If you’re looking for a soft-hearted puppy who’s ready to grow into a loyal best friend, Darcy may be the one. She is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, and will be available for adoption starting 1/18 through Paws Across Pittsburgh, Springdale, PA KL# 16182.  ##2631809##
