Story
Balto is a rescue we received during covid. He's been a good dog but needs his forever home and we are closing our husky care. He needs a big fence and time outside. He can and will happily be outside 95% of his time. However he misses having a female dog. He seams to be in the air on males. If he is alone he will bark. He's a sweet dog that just needs someone's love. He is in urgent need of placement as a tree went through our fence and dog house. He can not spend long in the house each day due to other male dogs.

Story
Charlie is fixed, up to date on rabies vaccine, is housetrained, and uses a crate when needed. He is playful, loves tennis balls and any other toy that can be tossed. He barks occasionally at animals that are in the yard. He loves to play but is equally content to just lay next to you. No known behavioral issues.

Story
Meet Adoptable Peep! 🐾🩵 At 24 weeks old, Peep is already showing off his classic husky personality—and then some! 😄 This boy is smart, stubborn, and full of opinions. If you’ve ever wanted a dog who talks back, Peep is your guy. He’ll happily let you know how he feels… and if he disagrees with you, he might just pretend he didn’t hear you at all!Peep is still very much a puppy and absolutely loves to play. He has a fun, energetic side and enjoys attention—but on his terms. He’s learning that people can respect his space, which hasn’t always been the case for him in the past, especially around young kids. Because of that, Peep is looking for a home without young children and with people who understand and respect his boundaries.The good news? Peep has been making great progress since arriving and is doing so much better! He’s very communicative and will clearly let you know when he needs space, which makes it easier for the right adopter to understand and advocate for him.Peep can be a bit picky with treats, but don’t be fooled—he loves his food, which can be a great tool for building trust and continuing his training.Peep will thrive in a patient, understanding home that appreciates his unique personality and is committed to helping him continue to grow. In return, you’ll get a hilarious, expressive, and one-of-a-kind companion who will always keep you on your toes. 🐺💙📍 730 Church Street New Kensington, PA📝 Adoption Application: https://form.jotform.com/213275062626049📧 adoptions@animalprotectors.net📞 (724) 339-7388

Story
‼️ SPECIAL FOSTERS NEEDED- Plea for Our Flower Girls: Daisy & Zinnia 🌼 Daisy (white) and Zinnia (brindle) have been with us since July 22nd, and while they’ve made meaningful progress, we believe the shelter environment have taken Daisy and Zinnia as far as it can. These girls would truly benefit from specialized foster homes to help them grow in their confidence and become adoptable!When these girls arrived with their sister, Rose, they were terrified of the world. For weeks, they could barely be touched and refused to go outside. They would quiver in the corner when any human was present. Through daily work, patience, and unwavering dedication from our staff and volunteers, Daisy and Zinnia have slowly begun to trust. We’re so happy to share that Rose has already been adopted, and now it’s time for her sisters to find their chance at a happy ending too. 💗We truly feel that continuing in a kennel setting will make it difficult for them to reach a “typical” adoptable place. What these girls need now is a calm, patient home where they can decompress, go at their own pace, and begin to understand what life outside survival mode feels like.What Daisy & Zinnia Need:- A patient, understanding foster or adopter- A home willing to give them time, space, and grace- Another confident dog in the home is an absolute MUST — they learn best by watching and following a canine role model- A fenced-in yard, because once they feel safe, they love to run and play with their dog friendsWhile Daisy and Zinnia rely heavily on each other right now, we believe that to truly grow and find their own confidence, they will do best in separate foster homes, each paired with a confident dog who can show them the ropes.These girls have clearly been through something traumatic. They are not “broken” — they are healing. And with the right person, their world could finally begin to feel safe.If you’ve ever had a soft spot for the underdog…If you believe love can be quiet and slow…If you have the patience to let trust bloom…🌸 Please consider fostering or adopting Daisy or Zinnia. 🌸You could be the turning point in their story.If you can’t foster or adopt, PLEASE SHARE!! Sharing this profile helps more than you know. 💕📍 730 Church Street New Kensington, PA📝 Foster Application: https://form.jotform.com/213275062626049📧 adoptions@animalprotectors.net📞 (724) 339-7388
