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
Whitney’s story isn’t a simple one, but the best ones rarely are. Whitney was adopted and has found her way back to us. Transitions can be especially hard for dogs who are still learning how to feel safe in the world, and for Whitney, that uncertainty shows up as reactivity. At her core, she’s a dog who lacks confidence, and when things feel overwhelming or unfamiliar, she does her best to cope the only way she knows how. Since returning, we’ve seen a softer side of Whitney re-emerge. In environments where she feels less pressure, her reactivity is more manageable, and glimpses of who she truly is shine through a dog who wants to trust, who wants to connect, and who is trying. Whitney forms deep bonds with her people, and with that bond can come a stronger need to feel secure and understood. She’ll need a family that recognizes this not as a flaw, but as an opportunity. With patience, structure, and guidance, Whitney has the potential to grow into an incredibly loyal and devoted companion. She’s also a high-energy girl who will thrive with both physical activity and mental enrichment. A quieter, low-key home will help her feel grounded while she builds confidence at her own pace. Whitney is not defined by her challenges. She’s defined by her resilience, her capacity to love, and the potential she holds in the right hands. 3159 Susquehanna Trail N York PA 17406 Kennel #:3537

Story
Hi, I’m Diamond! I’m a sweet, affectionate girl who loves just about everyone I meet—people and animals included. I may be a little shy at first, but once I settle in, my happy personality shines through, and I’m known for greeting people with a wagging tail and a big smile. I love toys, playing fetch, tug-of-war, and spending time with other dogs, and I’d be thrilled to have a playful canine friend in my future home. While I enjoy my adventures and playtime, I’m also a cuddle bug who loves being close to my people. My foster family says I’m a wonderful house guest who relaxes nicely when left alone and hasn’t gotten into any trouble. If you’re looking for a loving, playful companion with the perfect mix of fun and affection, I might be your girl! 3159 Susquehanna Trail N York PA 17406 Kennel #:3537

York, PA

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Like all young puppies, Louisville Slugger will need patience, consistency, and guidance as he grows into a well-mannered adult dog. Puppies require frequent potty breaks, ongoing house-training, socialization, crate training, and plenty of positive reinforcement as they learn the rules of the world around them. Louisville Slugger is still learning and will need a family committed to helping him build good habits and confidence. 3159 Susquehanna Trail N York PA 17406 Kennel #3537

Story
Hi, I’m Angel! I’m a gentle senior girl with wonderful manners and a heart full of love for everyone I meet. I enjoy short walks, cozy naps on the couch, soaking up the sunshine, and spending time close to my people—I’m truly a snuggle bug at heart! Even at 14, I still get the occasional zoomies and enjoy a toy now and then, but my favorite pastime is simply relaxing by your side. I do best with smaller meals throughout the day and appreciate frequent potty breaks while I settle into a routine. With my low energy and sweet nature, I’d love a calm home where someone is around often to keep me company and enjoy the simple things in life together. 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
