Penny is very sweet and quirky. I haven't had her very long. She eats soft food. I'm trying to get her potty trained now, She loves to be held. I'm not sure about her vaccines, she seems healthy. I want her to go to a loving home where she can be cuddled and spoiled.

Story
We have a friend who breeds Great Danes and she offered this puppy to my daughter as a gift. He is a great dog, but she does not have the time required to care for him. He needs walking and playing time that she can't give. She is off to college in the fall and thought she would be taking him, but found out that no student housing will allow a big dog. He will need a home with a yard and someone who has time to walk him every day. He is very loving, completely house trained, and walks great on a leash. He accepts treats gently and knows how to sit and stay. He would do best in a house as the only pet, or with another large breed dog. He might be a problem for small children because in his enthusiasm he might knock them down.

Story
Meet Johnny! Johnny is a 10-month-old Foxhound with a heart as big as his ears. He’s fantastic with other dogs and absolutely adores people. When it comes to cats, he’s more curious than anything—he may bark or whine if they won’t come close enough to sniff, but it’s all friendly interest. Johnny already knows sit, lay down, stay, and crate, and he’s currently working on “bed.” He’s made great progress with manners—jumping is pretty much a thing of the past! This sweet boy would thrive with an active family who can keep up with his playful, adventurous spirit. A fenced yard would be a dream come true for Johnny, giving him space to explore, run, and enjoy being a happy hound. If you’re looking for a loving, social pup who’s eager to be part of the action, Johnny might just be your perfect match.February 2, 2026, 12:55 pm

Story
Meet Primrose! Primrose and her siblings were born in late October to a sweet mama who appears to be a Beagle–hound mix weighing about 25 pounds. At just three months old, these pups are already tipping the scales between 19–24 pounds, so we’re guessing dad was a bigger boy—but his breed remains a mystery. These puppies may be some of the softest you’ll ever touch, inside and out. They’re affectionate, gentle, and doing great with kids and other dogs, and they’re just beginning to learn about cats. Like all puppies, they’re fun, energetic, and full of curiosity, so they’ll do best with families who understand the time, patience, and love that puppy ownership requires. Their foster families are already working on crate training and potty training, giving them a great start toward becoming wonderful family dogs. Apply at: apsofpc.org under the Adopt tab Adoption fee: $300 The adoption fee includes: • Up-to-date vaccines • Puppy deworming • Microchip • Rescue discount for spay/neuter at our partner vet in Person County If you’re ready to add puppy love (and a little chaos!) to your life, Primrose and her siblings are ready to meet you.February 5, 2026, 10:04 am

Story
Meet Bailey, an 8-week-old Lab/Australian Shepherd mix who is equal parts playful puppy and snuggly sweetheart. She loves to explore, chase toys, and then curl up for cuddles at night—right where she belongs. Bailey is doing well with other dogs and is adorably figuring out how to make friends with cats. Potty training and crate training are already underway, and this smart girl is off to a great start. With a brown Lab mom and an Australian Shepherd dad, Bailey is sure to grow into a loyal, loving companion who’s ready for adventures and endless affection. Bailey’s adoption fee is $300 and includes up-to-date vaccinations, deworming, a microchip, and a rescue-rate discount for spay/neuter at our partner veterinarian in Person County. Ready to fall in love? Apply to adopt Bailey, or her sister Tito, at APSofPC.org under the Adopt tab. Your couch (and your heart) will never be the sameFebruary 5, 2026, 10:26 am
