Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Rocket (previously Lance) and his siblings were found in a bin along a country road in Alabama with their tails tied.  Mostly likely, the owner was trying to dock them from home :(  Unfortunately, we do believe that they have permanent damage to their tails, however, it does not bother them! They joined our rescue on February 11th and are now in search of their new forever homes!We are told by the shelter that their birthday is mid-November.  By their looks, we are quite confident that they are german shepherd mixes.  They are rather thin, but the foster families are working on them gaining  weight.  All that they have been through, they are truly the sweetest pups!  They all love attention and enjoy the cuddles with their humans.  We have found they do great with other dogs and children.  Work will need to be continued in their training as it is with any puppy.German Shepherds are normally large to extra large dogs, however, these pups do not have the thick build that shepherds normally have.  Therefore, we are thinking they will be more of a medium to large dog when full grown.  We will only be considering applications that have german shepherd experience or lots of dog experience.  The puppies are up to date on distemper/parvo and rabies vaccinations, microchipped, dewormed and current on flea/tick/heartworm prevention.  The adoption fee is $450.If you are interested in Rocket, please submit an application on our website at https://worthytails.rescuegroups.org.  For any questions, please send an email to jessie.wilson@comcast.net.Thank you for your interest in a rescue pup!PA Dog License #4710 (Cumberland County)Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.March 17, 2024, 9:49 pm

Story
DOB 10-21-2023 This gorgeous girl is ready for her home and Mia is just perfect. She is beautiful, smart and sweet. Mia is crate trained, working on her house training, loves to go for walks and she also loves kids, cats, bossy little Yorkies, naps, eating, playing with others and people! Mia never has a bad day, life is good and she just knows it's going to get better when she finds her home! Adoption fee is 600.00 and transport fee is 165.00. The first step in the adoption process is to fill out an online adoption application. You can find a copy of that application here. We sometimes receive a lot of interest on an animal and can't always reply to each email in a timely manner. An application does not obligate you to adopt from us, but it does show that you are serious about the adoption process. Please remember we are all volunteers. After you submit your application, please allow a few days for a volunteer to review your application. During this time your vet reference will be checked and a volunteer with determine if it is the best match for you and the animal. Applications are not approved on a first come, first serve basis. We match up the best home for the animal, so even if the pet has other applications, this does not mean he/she will be adopted to that home. Once your application has been approved a volunteer with contact you to set up a phone interview. This is the perfect time for you to ask any questions you have about the adoption process and the animal you are interested in.

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.

PLEASE NOTE! Unless stated otherwise, our dogs and puppies are located in Arkansas, and transported to the north/northeast once adopted. We do occasionally have dogs/puppies placed in foster homes in the north/northeast. In the cases where the pet is somewhere other than Arkansas, it will be noted beside the name of the pet. 3/13/24 STILL AVAILABLE!  Please share Marv! Golden doodle/Shepherd mix, not high energy like some Poodle/Shepherds. His foster mom wants to take in another dog in need, so we really want Marv to find a home soon! 2/22/24 Another doodle, but this guy hasn’t been popular because he isn’t the stereotypical, golden colored, curly, teddy bear looking doodle. Please consider Marv! Marv is a 6-7 mo old German Shepherd/Poodle/Golden Retriever mix who was owner surrendered to our rescue. He is a very sweet natured guy and is going to make a great companion to whoever adopts him! Marv is a quiet, sweet boy who is shy and nervous at first but is quick to warm up when allowed to do so at his own pace. Once he warms up to you, he will seek you out just to be near you and if you are busy he will just lay down near you to be able to see you. He really is the sweetest boy. He will play with other dogs but also loves to just lounge around. He is doing great with the leash now. We believe he will do fine with cats. The cat in his foster home will sneak by Marv and he will just sit and watch the cat. He loves to sleep right next to his humans but would be just as happy with a dog bed in the same room if his adopter doesn’t allow dogs in the bed. He is making great progress with house training. He is neutered and utd on vaccs, microchipped, heartworm negative and on prevention. He weighs about 40 pounds and probably won't get too much bigger. In New England To apply, please fill out the adoption app: https://form.jotform.com/212690945239059 email apps.aasr@gmail.com with any questions. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.Our typical adoption fee for puppies younger than 6 months old is $400, and for older puppies and adults, the usual fee is $350.

Story
This remarkable dog was discovered abandoned in a rural area where he had endured exposure to the rain for an indeterminate period. Concerned passersby initially suspected he was injured, but upon my arrival, he eagerly hopped into my car and indulged in an entire box of treats. He's proven to be the most entertaining, affectionate, and intelligent companion I've ever encountered. His teeth bear the marks of neglect rather than age-related wear, and we estimate his age to be around 4-5 years. He adores car rides, and walks, and remains a loyal, dependable companion who never strays far. He is fully house-trained, adept at using a pet door, and gets along famously with other dogs. One of his ears has a distinctive appearance due to a past illness or injury that went untreated, but our vet has addressed it, and it appears to be in good condition now, although it will retain its unique appearance. If you're interested in welcoming Knuckles or any of our Funny Farm friends into your home, please visit funnyfarmpets.org to learn more about our Tennessee-based rescue, the adoption process, the comprehensive vetting procedures these pets undergo before they come to your home, and to submit an adoption application. The adoption fee for this pet is $325, and an additional $200 is required for transport. Currently located in a foster home in Tennessee, this pet will be transported to a northern location after the adoption process is finalized. For details on meeting locations and the transport process, please visit the transport tab at funnyfarmpets.org.

I am a social butterfly who loves every dog I meet and really hope my future home has other pups to play with! In my foster home, my favorite times are snuggle time, playtime, and dinner time! I'm a pro at cleaning my plate. I am a bit curious about the resident kitty in my foster home, but I promise I've never been anything but polite! I'm well versed in 'sit' and adore a game of fetch. Give me a backyard, and I'll run myself into nap time. While I've got a sweet side, I've also been known to channel my inner American Ninja Warrior and take a hop over short fences. I need to be watched!   I've made many furry and human friends in my foster home, and they all seem to think I'm great! I'm working on mastering the leash and to not bark, but I am getting into the crate when asked! If you have a couch and endless love to give, I'm ready to be yours!"   He is estimated to be between 2-3 years old and 65 lbs.
