Story
I have to start by saying this is devastating to me to give him up. He has gone everywhere with me his whole life up until this past year. The only reason I'm doing this is my girlfriend and I are moving in together and she is petrified of him. OSIRIS IS A GREAT dog! He does not have accidents! I mean never! I live in a city so I keep him on a runner for his safety but it’s not really needed he just lingers around me but never goes to far. As for the adoption fee that will be waved once I find the right place for him. I’m hoping to some a farm or someone who has a large yard that he can be free in. He is so smart and learns so fast. Also you must have deadbolt locks on your doors because he can open ANY door even round handle ones. He has been around my children his whole life.

Story
Poppy is a full blood german shepherd. We have had her since she was a puppy at eight weeks old. Her favorite game to play is fetch. She loves her frisbees. She's very high energy and sweet as pie and very protective of her family. She is fine around the kitten, ferrets and lizards... She is actually afraid of the ferrets. Haha she does not potty in the house and she does not chew on anything. She is fixed has all her shots and paperwork. Her bark is intimidating, but that is because she's a german shepherd. She only barks when she hears someone at the door. And when she knows it's dinner time, she will doggy, talk to you and it is so funny. She loves water, she loves playing with the hose and she loves hiking. She loves being brushed. We have a huge open yard and she never leaves the parameters.

Lizzie

Rhodesian Ridgeback

Female, Young
Export, PA
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Needs experienced adopter, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Lizzie is a lively 3-year-old Rhodesian Ridgeback mix with the joyful energy of a puppy. She loves the outdoors and especially enjoys running freely in a fenced yard. Lizzie walks well on a leash, rides happily in the car, and adores playing with her toys. She’s smart, eager to please, and sits politely for treats. This sweet girl isn’t a picky eater, sleeps soundly through the night in her crate, and is both microchipped and up-to-date on all vaccines and preventatives. Lizzie still has some playful puppy traits and needs plenty of exercise and continued training to help her grow into her best self. She would thrive with an active family who can match her energy, give her room to run, and provide the structure she needs to blossom into a calmer, well-mannered companion. Lizzie is full of love and potential — she just needs the right forever home to bring out the best in her.

Details
Good with kids, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Ivan is a gorgeous, ~3 year old, 65lb boy. We think he's a Lab / Carolina Dog mix based on his features. Regardless of breed, he’s a loyal guy looking for his forever human(s). Housetrained: Yes!Cratetrained: Yes!Neutered: Yes!Up to date on shots: Yes!Key fact: Ivan LOVES people. He adores head scratches and sitting near you.Favorite indoor activity: bones, bones, bones!!Favorite outdoor activity: zooming in the yard or helping my foster mom with gardeningDogs: Ivan would like to be your one and only Cats: Ivan thinks they are food, so no cats!When you're home, he loves to be with you and would happily keep you company while you do cook, watch tv, read, garden, or soak up the sun. He is also content chewing a bone or enjoying a kong. He has also stepped up his napping game. If you have a sectional, Ivan loves to snooze on the chaise while you snooze on the main part of the couch. Given his size and his personality, we are requiring a single family home with a fenced in yard or a home that would provide him with space to run! Older kids would be fine for Ivan. He can get excited and sometimes jump - please be willing to continue his training with this - so we feel best if his home doesn't have younger children or those unstable on their feet.  He is working on knowing that sitting calm = happy humans and/or treatos. Ivan is a boy with a heart of gold who will love you beyond measure. He may win you over when he leans into you, somehow both giving and requesting love. He deserves someone who will be patient with him. And give lots of pets and head kisses, which are his favorite. If you think this could be you, please apply for him today.

Pepper

Mixed Breed (Medium)

Female, 7 mos
Springdale, PA
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Meet Pepper! Pepper is a 25 pound, 7 month old mixed breed pupper!  Pepper is a mildly spicy, curious yet cautious cutie! She will bark at you upon meeting but generally approves of you if given a few minutes to sniff you out and perhaps with a treat to sweeten the deal. Pepper is a girl that thrives on connection and playtime - both with other dogs and with humans. Pepper is accustomed to eating, napping, and sleeping overnight in her crate. She is also becoming house trained with a routine schedule. Little Miss Pepper Pants is very treat-motivated and eager to learn, making training a fun bonding experience. She is intimiated when meeting new dogs and will be a bit loud (obnoxious!) in the first few minutes. Once she feels she's communicated effectively, she wants to play.  Like with all puppies, she will want someone who is prepared to continue typical puppy training so she can be the best girl she can be - things like leash-walking, general behavior, etc will be necessary to ensure long term success. She is fine with other dogs or kids. She's not met any cats but would likely be ok with them if the adopter is willing to be patient and go with slow intros. Pepper is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on core vaccinations. She will be able to go to her forever home on or after Jan 4, 2026. ##2619032##

Strudel

Chihuahua Mixed Breed (Medium)

Male, 2 mos
Springdale, PA
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Strudel is an absolute doll. He loves to give lots of kisses. He was born and lived in a shelter the first 8 weeks of his life. So everything was new to him when he came into foster. He was scared the first couple of days, but then slowly started to come out of his shell. He loves playing with his sister, tugging on toys and exploring. He is currently in foster with 3 adult large dogs and does well with all of them. Strudel is being crate trained. He does well at night and throughout the day. He's working on potty training, but will need someone who is patient and knows that he is going to have accidents until he's fully trained. He is neutered, microchipped and UTD on his vaccinations. Due to his age, he's only had 2 out of 3 of his puppy vaccinations. Therefore he will need a home with a private yard.   He would love to have a furry sibling, but it's not a deal breaker for him. He wants a family that will give him lots of love and attention. ##2626516##
