Story
Hello there, I’m Toby! I am 52 lbs, 4 y/o, very handsome gentleman and possibly a GSD mix! I come to you both house and crate trained although in my last home, my parents were able to trust me to be out of my crate when they were gone. Not to toot my own horn but I’m a pretty smart fella! I’ve done some professional training in the past and know basic commands. I have lived with small children as well but sometimes I can show some guarding behaviors. An owner that is able to be my pack leader is who I am looking for! I was the only dog in my last home so not sure I could live with another but that’s what meet and greets are for! I am neutered and up to date on preventatives/vaccines. I’m also a heartworm survivor  Come meet me in East Earl, Pennsylvania! PA Caring for K-9's PO Box 356 New Oxford PA 17350; LIC #9736 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
This pup was rescued with her sister together. They came from a running at large situation and have been completely transformed from how they started to now. They did not know how to walk into my home and were unknown to everything. We hired a professional training service to rehabilitate them at 6 months old to socialize them. What a difference. They love going to meet people and even at the vet loving on everyone. This pup is eager to please and a very sporty dog. The adopter needs to be a very active and have plenty of time to spend with her. She is a sponge learning and loves obstacle course play and being very active to burn energy. She is kennel trained and this is her current sleeping quarters. She has not learned how to settle and sleep anywhere else. She knows to tap her nose on the door to go outside. She has had no accidents but she also doesn’t get the chance. You will continue her training where we are leaving off. She does not like living with her sister which is why.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.All of the animals posted on our site have been temperament tested. While not all are in the immediate area, once we have processed and approved your application, we will move the dog to our adoptive area for you to meet, greet and hopefully adopt. Sometimes we will have more than one application on a dog. That does not mean it automatically goes to another family but you should be aware of the fact that until you are approved and set up for the meet/greet.. the dog could get adopted by another applicant.NOTE- ROCKY IS LISTED AS A COURTESY FOR ANOTHER RESCUE ORGANIZATION.  PLEASE SEE CONTACT INFO BELOW.Here's what the humans have to say about me: ADOPT OR FOSTER!Are you loyal, driven, motivated, optimistic, and like to have a good time? So is Rocky! He may be your soulmate! Rocky was un-familied twice in his 7-year life. He craves a companion who won’t do that to him again. He needs to be someone’s sidekick. He loves people and has never met a stranger. He enjoys a car ride, and a nice long walk. His fave snack seems to be beef jerky, but he’s happy to try your other foods, too. He’s crate-trained and potty-trained and lives well in a home.He doesn’t mind dogs in public and is not reactive, but can’t live with other dogs as he get a bit guardy around them and starts fights. He also has high prey drive and can’t live with small animals or cats. He has met my horse and goats and has been fine, so could likely live around large animals after supervised introductions.Apply at https://highlandcountyhumanesociety.orgIncluded in Adoption: All dogs are spayed/neutered, vaccinated - Da2pp, Bordetella and Rabies, tested for HW/Lyme, dewormed and started on HW/Wormer monthly prevention (Interceptor Plus), and treated for flea/tick control (Advantix).

Story
Hazel is currently in training with the HOPE program so she can be her very best doggie self for her new family. You can keep up with all the things she is learning here, get ready to be impressed: https://www.hopedogs.org/dogs/hazel/ Are you looking for a new adventure partner to help you achieve your New Year resolution to become more active? Hazel is the perfect dog for you! She loves exploring on walks and loves playing with tennis balls even more! Hazel came to us after some concerned neighbors reached out trying to find a better home for her. Hazel would love to have a fenced in yard where she can run around and play fetch! She hopes her new family doesn't mind her ball obsession, but she has been learning to return the ball when playing so we can throw it again for her - she's a smart one! Hazel is young (2-3 years old) and has a lot of energy, so she is looking for an active family that can take her on hikes, long walks, and other outdoor adventures! She has even tried her paw at agility training and absolutely loves it! Once given the chance to exercise Hazel also loves a good snuggle. Hazel is the perfect size, about 50 lbs. A family with working dog experience is preferred. Hazel would do well in a home with older children that are dog savvy. She does have a very strong prey drive, so a home without cats and other small animals is needed. Hazel has been dog selective, but we think a home where she is your one and only pet would be best. If you are local to the Dillsburg area, and interested in meeting Hazel, please visit our website, www.crcpa.org, to learn more about our adoption process and complete an application.
