Story
Revi was adopted from us and sadly returned when things didn’t work out with another dog in the home. Despite that, this sweet boy hasn’t let it dampen his spirit; he’s still ready to find a family to call his own. Revi is a fun-loving, food-motivated guy who enjoys playtime and staying active. He would do best in a home that can keep up with his physical needs and give him plenty of opportunities to burn off energy. With the right environment and a family who understands his needs, Revi is sure to make a loyal and happy companion. 3159 Susquehanna Trail N York PA 17406 Kennel #:3537

Story
Tacos at Midnight unfortunately had to come back due to not getting along with the resident cats. Tacos at Midnight is a sweet-natured boy who looks to his people for reassurance and enjoys being close to those he trusts. Tacos at Midnight may need a little time to adjust to a new home and would thrive with a family ready to help him continue learning his doggy manners, but with patience and understanding, he’s sure to settle in and show what a wonderful companion he can be. He’s ready to start his next chapter, could it be with you? 3159 Susquehanna Trail N York PA 17406 Kennel #:3537

Story
Elsa came to us through no fault of her own, and this sweet senior is more than ready to leave the noise and stress of the shelter behind. She doesn’t quite understand how she ended up here, but she’s handling it the best she can and is hoping for a fresh start in a quiet, loving home. We don’t have much background information on Elsa, but it has been reported that she has not lived with other animals or children, so her comfort level with them is unknown. Here at the shelter, Elsa tends to be independent, preferring to take in her surroundings at her own pace but she does enjoy affection when she’s in the mood and will let you know when she’s ready for some love. We can tell each day she is coming out of her shell more and more. If you have a soft spot for seniors and can offer a calm environment where Elsa can truly relax and be herself, she just might be the perfect fit for you. 3159 Susquehanna Trail N York PA 17406 Kennel #3537

Koda

German Shepherd Dog

Male, Adult
Gap, PA
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
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).
