Hanover, PA

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
We are the second home of this 2 1/2 year old Female German Shepherd. She needs a job constantly. She wants to please but has a lot of anxiety. We have a 16 month old, 3 cats and another male German Shepherd - she attacks the cats and our male German Shepherd. Needs to be in a home with no dogs or cats - she is ok with our male but sometimes a switch flips. We hate to do this but we feel we are doing a disservice to her and want her to live a fulfilled life without being cooped up.

Story
Hades is a sweetheart that honestly deserves better than we can currently provide him. He is intelligent and energetic and would do best in an environment that allows him to explore and play more than ours allows. We got him in May and have had a myriad of life changes in that time including new jobs and schedules as well as an upcoming baby. I used to work 10 minutes from home and could visit every few hours but now am working an hour from home. With how busy our lives became it has been challenging to give him the attention and love he deserves. He has never been aggressive towards anyone but does like to chew things that he finds lying around unless instructed otherwise. He is good with other dogs as well as our kids but he forgets he is so big and jumps which can frighten people. We wish we could keep him but must re-home him ASAP. Preferably before the new baby arrives to ensure Hades receives the appropriate love and attention.

Story
We purchased Tucker when he was 4 months old from a Farm. He came from a very large litter, but both parents are German Shepherds. He is not the long haired one. Tucker will be turning 4 years old on May 31st. My husband and I are getting older and our schedules are changing. He's a good pet, a wondeful alarm, and very very active. His first year was with a training professional, so he knows all the basic commands. Our goal is for someone who has the space, cause this boy likes to move!

Story
Hello and a big “Woof” from me, Nimbus! I am a sweet boy waiting to steal your heart (and your lap too). I am a 7 month old, 44lb shepherd mix and I am as handsome as can be! Things you should know about me… I am a playful boy who loves to romp and play with my fellow doggie friends. But I am a proper lover boy too and I love to wrap up my play session with a long couch snuggles. I love my bones and stuffies and I do not destroy them! Do I love humans and children? Oh, you bet I do!! I am a puppy and I am working on my good manners when it comes to respecting some elder dogs but only because playing is so much fun! I would thrive with another pup who would also benefit with some good play time. I think you will love me so much and I know I will love you. Here’s more about me from my foster family. For his age, training is going very well. Nimbus is attentive & very food motivated. He has many major commands down, does well in his crate (though he can get stressed if alone too long and may have an accident). He has learned to communicate when he needs to go outside but does have occasional accidents as puppies can do. This cutie gets an upset tummy when traveling in a car, but we are hoping we will grow out of it. With cats, he may want to chase them to play. Nimbus is neutered & up to date on all shots/ vaccines. He is being fostered in Mountville PA. Apply at  www.pack9rescue.org New Oxford PA Lic# 17350   We are PA Caring for K-9's, an all-breed dog rescue that is solely run by volunteers. Most of our dogs are rescued from high kill shelters in the South. If the dog is posted, they are still available! Once arriving, these dogs enter foster homes, as we do not have a shelter. We cannot adopt out dogs to a home with dogs that are not fixed or up to date on shots. If interested in adopting, please submit an application online at www.pack9rescue.org. Our adoption fee for altered dogs is $350 and goes directly to saving the lives of more dogs.  Our adoption fee for unaltered puppies will be $400 which includes a refundable $50 deposit upon receipt of spay/neuter certificate. Learn more about adopting from us or volunteering for us at www.pack9rescue.org or check us out on Facebook for more information and a complete list of dogs available for adoption.           https://www.facebook.com/PaCaringForK9s/ See upcoming events below where PA Caring for K9’s will be with some of our adoptable dogs!

Story
Meet Knox. Our best friend, our protector, our own personal nut case. Knox is a good dog who has a colorful past. He was locked in a cage throughout the majority of his puppy years by previous owners. Thus, he knew no manners when we took him in. We got him trained by state-line canine and he got better. He is a very high-drive, treat loving boy. He needs lots of attention and exercise. This is NOT a city dog nor an apartment dog. He needs an owner who is prepared to be consistent with him and give him the love and attention he needs. He does okay with other dogs, but would be better in an only dog situation. I will need to screen the adopter before they take him, as this dog deserves more than another mediocre owner. He needs a loving family who will designate him as part of the family as we did. Unfortunately, he is just not the right dog for our family and our situation. Come meet him and see what this boy could mean for you and your family.

Story
Zoey is a great dog and a real sweetheart. She's the smartest dog I've ever been around. She’s great with dogs and came from a home with young kids. She loves to engage and learn things, playing tug-o-war and fetch are her favorites. Her parents are retired police dogs that met at their retirement foster care. True to her breed, she is not great in the crate for long periods of time. She goes in no problem but is not happy in there for more than a couple hours. She needs a loving home that can allow her to not be crated for long periods. She does great in the house, I usually leave her out without any issues, but being left alone for more than a few hours we can tell she isn't happy. We are near Gettysburg PA and would be happy to travel a bit if needed to help find her a good home.
