Story
Meet Sir. This big, lovable guy came to us as a stray, so his past is a bit of a mystery, but from the moment he arrived, he’s been nothing but social, happy, and eager to connect. He can be a little unsure when faced with new things, but he bounces back quickly and adapts with ease. Due to Sir having some sensitivities with certain touch, we believe that he would do best in a home with children 13+ who can respect his boundaries. With some continued socialization and training, Sir is sure to grow into a confident, well-rounded companion. If you’re looking for a goofy, sweet, and resilient best friend, Sir might just be your guy. 3159 Susquehanna Trail N York PA 17406 Kennel #3537

Story
Dior came to us as a stray, and sadly, no one came forward to reclaim her. While we don’t know much about her past, we do know that she is a young, affectionate, playful girl who is eager to learn and loves being around people. Dior is still learning some important life skills, especially when it comes to impulse control. She can become overstimulated quickly during playtime or even when receiving affection. Dior is happy, loving, energetic, and incredibly eager to please. She has so much potential, but she will need a home that understands her needs and is committed to continuing the structure, training, and consistency she has been receiving here. Because of her behavior in the shelter environment, we feel Dior will be happiest as the only pet in the home. An adult-only home would be ideal, with someone who is willing and able to continue helping her build confidence, patience, and impulse control. Dior isn't looking for a perfect home; she's looking for the right home. She has so much love to give and so much more to learn, and we truly believe that with the right person by her side, she can thrive. 3159 Susquehanna Trail N York PA 17406 Kennel #3537

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 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 with an even bigger heart! I love to play fetch, splash around in the water, chase my favorite toys, and, most of all, soak up attention from my people. If you sit down, don’t be surprised if I come barreling over and plop my whole backside into your lap for some love! I recently lost my home after my family fell on hard times, and all the big changes have made me a little louder than usual when I first see new people or dogs through a fence or kennel door. But once you actually meet me, you’ll quickly discover I’m a sweet, affectionate boy who just wants to be part of the fun. I’m an active guy who would love a family that enjoys playing, exploring, and continuing to teach me all the good things life has to offer. Because I’m such a big, enthusiastic goofball, I’d do best with older children who won’t mind my exuberant personality. If you’re looking for a loyal best friend who will keep you laughing and remind you every day just how much he loves you, I think we’re going to get along just fine! 3159 Susquehanna Trail N York PA 17406 Kennel #:3537

Story
Hi, I’m Elphaba! I’m a young, happy girl who is basically a bundle of joy mixed with a whole lot of puppy energy! I absolutely love people and am always ready for attention, playtime, and whatever fun might be happening around me. I already know sit, I’m a smart girl who responds well to redirection, and when I’m focused I can walk really nicely on leash—but sometimes my puppy brain takes over and I’m suddenly zigzagging off to investigate something exciting! I can be jumpy when I’m desperate for your attention and I’m still learning that not everything I find needs to go in my mouth, so I’ll need a family ready for all the normal training and supervision that comes with a young dog. I’ve also seemed excited and interested when seeing other dogs here. I’m silly, affectionate, playful, and still figuring out how to contain all my enthusiasm for life. If you’re looking for a fun young dog to love, train, and grow with, I might just be your girl! 3159 Susquehanna Trail N York PA 17406 Kennel #3537
