Story
Hi, I’m Quira! I’m a sweet, easygoing girl who has been showing everyone just how wonderful I am in a home! I’m a professional snuggler with an adorable wiggle butt, and I love scratches, belly rubs, and resting my head in my foster’s lap while they work. I’m also crate trained, settle nicely in the house, love playing with my toys, and am always up for a good walk before relaxing with my person afterward. I’ve done great meeting new people, although I can get a little too excited and reactive when I see cyclists or people while we’re out walking. The good news is I’m already making great progress with redirection and positive reinforcement! I’d love a family who will continue helping me work on my leash skills and give me plenty of opportunities to walk, play, and explore. A fenced yard would be a great bonus, but more than anything, I’m looking for someone who appreciates a sweet, affectionate girl who knows how to have fun and relax when the day is done! 3159 Susquehanna Trail N York PA 17406 Kennel #3537

Story
Hi, I’m Spaghetti — but my foster family calls me Betty Spaghetti! I’m a sweet, gentle girl who may be a little unsure when we first meet, but a few treats go a long way toward winning me over. Once I trust you, I bond quickly and absolutely love being close to my person—couch snuggles included! I’m a smart girl and a fast learner who already knows sit and has quickly picked up my foster home’s routine. I sleep quietly in my kennel, love going for walks, enjoy playing in the backyard, and have a fun little prance when I’m out exploring. I can be a little jumpy when something startles me and may bark at people passing the fence, but I’m easily redirected. I’m playful without being destructive and have a nice medium energy level, so I’m happy to adventure with you and then settle in for a nap. My foster says that whoever adopts me should be prepared to be worshipped—because once you’re my person, I’m all yours! 3159 Susquehanna Trail N York PA 17406 Kennel #:3537

Story
Hi, I’m Diamond! I’m an 11-month-old girl who had a pretty rough start and was unfortunately left behind when my previous family moved away. Despite everything, I am an incredibly sweet, happy, and playful puppy! I can be a little hesitant at first, but it doesn’t take long before my bouncy, affectionate personality comes out. I love being around people, coming over for attention, and playing whenever I get the chance. I can be a little jumpy when I’m excited, but I’m still young and just need a family willing to help me learn some manners and continue showing me what being a loved family dog is all about. I’ve already shown everyone here just how loving and resilient I am, and I’m ready for a fresh start with people who won’t leave me behind. 3159 Susquehanna Trail N York PA 17406 Kennel #3537

Story
Hi, I’m Kong! I’m a big, goofy Rottweiler who loves toys, water, running around the yard, and getting ALL the attention from my favorite people! I was adopted for a short time but returned after struggling with reactivity in the home. We’ve learned that I can have big reactions to unfamiliar people, particularly some men, as well as other dogs, so I need an experienced adopter who will take introductions slowly and continue working with me using positive reinforcement. With people I know and trust, I’m an affectionate, playful goofball who loves walks, playtime, and plenty of pets. I’m looking for a committed home with no children under 13 that will understand my quirks and help me succeed! 3159 Susquehanna Trail N York PA 17406 Kennel #:3537

Story
Hi, I’m Shockwave—but my foster family has been calling me Buddy! I’m a sweet, affectionate little guy whose favorite activity is pretty simple: being loved! I’m happiest cuddled up with my people, and I come with a permanently adorable case of bed head to complete the look. I currently live with three dogs, a cat, and a 9-year-old child, and my foster says I’ve gotten along wonderfully with everyone. I can be a little timid around men when I first meet them, but once I’m comfortable, my sweet and gentle personality takes over. I’m crate trained, walk very nicely on leash, and have a pretty low-key energy level, so I could potentially be just as happy in an apartment as I would in a house with a yard. I am still working on my house manners and have been marking indoors, so my foster has been using belly bands while we work on that. Overall, I’m a chill, cuddly, easygoing boy who doesn’t ask for much—just a comfortable place to land and plenty of love. If you’re looking for an affectionate little companion who would happily spend his days by your side, come meet me! 3159 Susquehanna Trail N York PA 17406 Kennel #3537

Story
Hi, I’m Goose! I’m a big love bug who wants nothing more than to be with my people! I absolutely adore children, have done wonderfully with my foster’s 8-year-old, and love learning new things—especially when treats are involved. I can be a little cautious when people first come to the house, and I may bark at unfamiliar men while out walking, but slower introductions have helped me do well meeting new friends. I haven’t lived with other pets in foster, though I’ve passed dogs on walks without any issues. I’m crate trained during the workday, roam freely at night, enjoy about three walks a day, and have a nice medium energy level. I’m still working on gaining some much-needed weight and getting my tummy settled, but through it all I’ve been a complete joy. If you’re looking for a loving family dog who is eager to please, loves his people, and comes with a little extra hound slobber, I might be your Goose! 3159 Susquehanna Trail N York PA 17406 Kennel #3537
