Story
Choppo is very smart but stubborn. Listens when he wants to. He will do stuff out of spite to mess with you if he feels like he's not getting enough attention. He likes female dogs only. He will pee in the house if he is roaming free without supervision. He likes taking baths. He is very territorial over his home outside and inside. Needs a yard and alot of love and attention.

Story
Meet adoptable Zinnia 🌸At almost 4 years old, Zinnia has been waiting a long time for someone to give her the chance she deserves. 💗 When she first arrived at the shelter with her sisters, she was terrified of the world and struggled to trust people. With patience, dedication, and lots of gentle encouragement from our staff and volunteers, Zinnia has slowly begun to come out of her shell.Now, sweet Zinnia needs something the shelter simply cannot provide: a quiet, patient home where she can feel safe, decompress, and learn that the world is not such a scary place. 🌼Zinnia will need a patient family who understands that building trust takes time. A confident dog in the home is an absolute must, as she looks to other dogs for reassurance and learns by following their lead. A fenced-in yard is also important because once she feels comfortable, she loves to run and play with her canine friends!Zinnia is not broken. She is a girl who needs someone willing to give her the time, space, and love she needs to blossom. Her sister Rose has already found her happy ending, and now it is Zinnia's turn. 🌷Could you be the person who helps Zinnia discover what it feels like to finally be safe? If you have a patient heart, a calm home, and a confident dog to help show her the ropes, please consider fostering or adopting Zinnia.🌸 Help Zinnia bloom into the happy, confident dog she was always meant to be!

Story
Meet adoptable Koda!At around 3–5 years old, Koda is a one of a kind mix of German Shepherd, Golden Retriever, Husky, and Great Pyrenees. That may sound like a lot of dog, and he certainly is a big guy, but underneath that impressive mix is an incredibly gentle, loyal, sensitive, and loving soul.Koda seems to have collected some of the very best qualities from every breed in his family tree. From his German Shepherd side, Koda is intelligent, inquisitive, eager to please, and highly trainable. He already knows how to sit, stay, give both paws, and lay down!From his Golden Retriever side comes his love language: PROXIMITY. Koda does not need constant attention or to be the center of the room. He is perfectly content sitting beside you on the couch, relaxing at your feet, or laying at the foot of your bed.From his Husky side comes his love of adventure! Koda enjoys going for walks, sniffing around the neighborhood, and exploring everything the world has to offer. He has a little bit of the Husky vocal personality, too.From his Great Pyrenees side comes his patience and gentle nature. Koda enjoys taking in his surroundings and can often be found perched on an ottoman, quietly watching the world go by.Koda is not a couch potato. He is a high-energy guardian/working dog mix who needs a family willing to give him plenty of physical exercise, mental stimulation, and enrichment. If you take Koda on a walk, keep an eye out for deer and rabbits! 👀His instincts definitely kick in when he spots something interesting.Koda may be a big dog with a big personality, but his heart is even bigger. 💙If you have room in your life for a gentle giant who wants to walk beside you, learn with you, relax beside you, and become your loyal companion, Koda is waiting to meet you. 🐾📍 730 Church Street, New Kensington, PA📝 Adoption Application: https://form.jotform.com/213275062626049📧 adoptions@animalprotectors.net📞 (724) 339-7388 #AdoptKoda #adoptdontshop #newkensington #animalprotectors #pittsburgh #AdoptableDogs
