Story
Meet Harold! This sweet fun loving pup came to us as a stray and is looking for a new home! He is young and full of energy and would benefit from some basic training. He is very sweet and enjoys attention. We feel he could live in a home with children of all ages as long as they are comfortable with his size and energy. He also could potentially live with another dog with a proper introduction here at the shelter. We are not sure if he has been around cats. If he feels like a good fit for your home please come down and meet him. ---If you are interested in adopting, please come prepared --bring a photo ID, proof of address, and everyone in the home including resident dogs with vaccination history. We are open daily 12-6pm.---The Pennsylvania SPCA - Lancaster Center848 S. Prince St. Lancaster PA 17603Kennel #16516717-917-6979lancaster@pspca.org

Story
Koda is a 8-year-old German Shepherd originally rescued in Yokosuka, Japan when he was just 1 yr old. He is from a family of police dogs, but did not undergo formal training due to abandonment. He has completed basic obedience and is a very loving boy. He is looking for a best friend who will be his companion for the rest of his life. We have had Koda for over 5 years now and never thought we would be in a position to have to rehome, but life threw a curveball at us and we know Koda deserves better than what we can give him now. Koda suffers from separation anxiety, but we are hoping the right person who can meet his needs will ease this transition for him. Koda may need formal behavioral training due to his reactivity from years of under-stimulation. It is imperative to us that he does not get rehomed again after this, so we are urging anyone interested to please reconsider if you have young children, a small breed dog, a geriatric animal, or cats (Koda does not know his size).

Story
Meet Cooper! Cooper is a sweet 7-month-old goofball who is learning that the world isn’t actually such a scary place! He can be a little nervous when meeting new people, but once he decides you’re cool, get ready for the full-body lean of approval when those pets start coming. He’s still learning his manners and figuring out how to be the best pup he can be, but he’s got plenty of puppy charm to make up for it! Cooper is ready to find a patient, loving forever family who will help him build confidence, have lots of fun, and show him just how great life can be. If you’re looking for a goofy young pup with a whole lot of love (and some serious leaning skills), Cooper might just be your guy!
