Story
Athena is a hippo-shaped bully with the softest soul. She was surrendered at no fault of her own and is still learning that it’s okay to settle in and feel safe again. At first, Athena can be a little reserved, but once she comes out of her shell, her gentle, affectionate side starts to shine. Athena is looking for a calm, quiet home where she can truly relax and enjoy her golden years. Her perfect day includes long naps, cozy spots to lounge, and plenty of love from her people. If you’re searching for a low-key companion who will happily soak up affection and return it tenfold, Athena may be your perfect match. 3159 Susquehanna Trail N York PA 17406 Kennel #:3537

Story
Hi, I’m Scout! I’m a super cute guy with a big personality and a huge love for attention. I settled into my foster home right away and made myself comfortable from day one. I’m a total lap dog who loves cuddles, but I’ve also got some fun puppy energy and enjoy running around and staying active. I eat great, love being near my people, and do best when I get plenty of time, structure, and interaction. I can bark if I’m not getting what I want and sometimes get a little nippy at legs when I’m excited—just typical puppy stuff that I’m still learning to work through. I’m curious and respectful with other pets, and while I did fine meeting new people, busy, noisy places can make me a bit nervous at first. I’d thrive in a home where people are around often and willing to keep working on my potty training and manners. With guidance, patience, and lots of love, I’m going to be an awesome companion and a very loyal best friend. 3159 Susquehanna Trail N York PA 17406 Kennel #: 3537

Story
Hi, I’m Eggnog! I might have been a little nervous when I first walked into my foster home, but it didn’t take long at all for me to gain confidence and start soaking up all the love. I’m a friendly, affectionate guy who adapts quickly and loves being part of whatever my people are doing. I love toys—especially tug toys—and I’m always up for playtime until I wear myself out and switch to snuggle mode. I have the softest coat, take treats very gently, and I’m a quick learner. I’ve already started picking up cues like “touch,” and I listen well and redirect easily. I’m still working on housebreaking, but I’ve been trying really hard and improving every day. I walk great on a leash and would make an awesome hiking or adventure buddy, but I also know how to relax and hang out at home. I’d be happiest with an active family who wants to play, train, and cuddle—I give the best snuggles. I learn fast, love deeply, and can’t wait to find my forever family to share all my love with. 💙 3159 Susquehanna Trail N York PA 17406 Kennel #: 3537

Story
Hi, I’m Oreo McFlurry! I’m a sweet, affectionate guy whose favorite place is right next to you—if you’re on the couch, I’m there for cuddles and kisses. I can be a little shy at first, but give me a moment and I’ll be wagging my tail and soaking up your love. I enjoy getting outside to run, sniff, and explore (snow included!), and I have a nice medium energy level—happy to be active, but just as content relaxing by your side. I’m very people-oriented and bond closely with my humans, which means I do best with structure and clear routines. I’m still working on house training and can have occasional accidents, though I do well when crated and settle nicely with a stuffed Kong or treat. I’m strong on leash and would benefit from continued training and an adopter ready to help me build those skills. I’d thrive as the only dog in the home, with a yard to enjoy and people who can give me the time and guidance I need. I have so much love to give—and I can’t wait to share it with my forever family. 3159 Susquehanna Trail N York PA 17406 Kennel #: 3537

Story
Lil’ Dude came to us as a stray, so we don’t have any background information on his past. He appears to be a young, energetic guy who is still learning his manners and would benefit from continued training and structure. Because he can be jumpy and may become mouthy when overstimulated, we feel he would do best in a home with older children. Lil’ Dude is an active boy with lots of energy, so he’s looking for a family that enjoys staying on the move and is ready to invest time into training, exercise, and enrichment. With guidance, consistency, and patience, Lil’ Dude has all the potential to grow into a fantastic companion for the right home. 3159 Susquehanna Trail N York PA 17406 Kennel #: 3537
