Story
Hi, I’m Athena! I’m a hippo-shaped bully with the softest soul, surrendered through no fault of my own and still learning that it’s okay to relax and feel safe again. I can be a little reserved at first, but once I settle in, my gentle, affectionate personality really shines. I love the simple things in life—rolling in the grass, going for walks or car rides, playing with a toy, and most of all snuggling up on the couch with my people. I’ve proven to be housebroken and do well with a consistent routine, happily napping in cozy spots and keeping myself entertained between cuddle sessions. I’m generally low to medium energy and would thrive in a calm, quiet home where someone is around often to keep me company and help me feel secure. If you’re looking for a loyal, low-key companion who will soak up affection and give it right back, I may be your perfect match. 3159 Susquehanna Trail N York PA 17406 Kennel #:3537

Story
Apple Pie is a sweet girl who came to us as a stray and was never reclaimed. Now she’s ready for a fresh start with a family who will give her the love she’s been waiting for. She can be a strong girl on the leash, but she enjoys getting out for walks and spending time with her people. We’re still getting to know who Apple Pie truly is, and each day her personality continues to shine a little more. Since she came to us as a stray, we don’t know what her past or home life was like. Her future family should be ready to give her patience and time as she learns to adjust to a new routine and environment. 3159 Susquehanna Trail N York PA 17406 Kennel #: 3537

Story
Sassy is a golden girl who’s ready to trade shelter life for a sunny spot in your home. Found as a stray and never reclaimed, this sweet senior hasn’t let her past dull her shine. She’s incredibly affectionate and happiest when she’s close to her people. True to her name, Sassy knows what she likes: warm sun, soft places to nap, and plenty of love. She’s been low energy here at the shelter, preferring a relaxed pace and quiet companionship over chaos. Sassy’s dream home is one filled with cozy moments, gentle routines, and a family ready to shower her with the affection she so eagerly gives in return. If you’ve got a soft spot for seniors and a sunny patch waiting, Sassy would love to be your new best friend. 3159 Susquehanna Trail N York PA 17406 Kennel #: 3537

Story
Hi, I’m Diesel! I’m a goofy, loving guy who is always ready for fun and wants to be part of whatever you’re doing. I absolutely love fetch (and sometimes a little game of keep-away!) and I’m very food motivated, which makes training a great way to keep my mind busy. I can be a bit of a strong, enthusiastic boy and sometimes get overexcited, so I’ll do best with an adopter who can provide structure, clear boundaries, and continued training to help me channel all my energy in positive ways. I enjoy meeting new people and have done well taking corrections from other dogs, though I’m not a good fit for a home with cats. Once I settle in, I form strong bonds and love being close to my people—even resting my head on your shoulder for car rides! I’m looking for a committed home ready to guide me and help me grow, because underneath my bulldozer moments is a very sweet, loyal companion who just wants to love and be loved. 3159 Susquehanna Trail N York PA 17406 Kennel #:3537
