You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Fill out an Adoption Application Meet Athena — Part Great Dane, Part Great Pyr, 100% PUPPY!  WARNING!: Athena may cause excessive smiling, random zoomies, and an uncontrollable desire to cuddle.  This spunky Great Dane/Great Pyrenees mix is currently living the foster life with Mastiffs to Mutts, and she has decided that her résumé should include: Professional Adventure Seeker; Certified Dog-Playing Enthusiast; Bell-Ringing House-Training Apprentice; Chicken Friendship Specialist (still in training); Full-Time Shadow & Part-Time Lap Dog . Athena LOVES playing with other dogs and is always ready for her next adventure. She’s learning that those funny feathered creatures called chickens are friends, not toys… and we're pretty sure she thinks they’re just oddly shaped dogs.  She’s also working hard on house training and learning to use a bell to let her people know when nature calls.  But after all that playing, exploring, and training? CUDDLE MODE: ACTIVATED   Athena is a total shadow and will happily follow her person around like, “Where are we going? What are we doing? Can I come? What about now? Still going? Okay, I’ll just sit RIGHT HERE next to you.” She’s all puppy — goofy, curious, energetic, loving, and still learning the ways of the world. But when the day winds down, this big girl just wants to curl up with her humans and soak up some love.  Athena is looking for her forever family! If you’re looking for a fun-loving, adventurous, dog-friendly puppy who comes with a built-in shadow and an impressive cuddle game, Athena might just be your girl.  Please consider adopting or sharing her story so this sweet girl can find her forever home! Athena — big paws, big personality, BIG heart.   Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.

Story
Meet Tank!Tank is a young Great Dane with a heart just as big as his paws. He hasn’t had the easiest start in life (he came to us through our Animal Law Enforcement team in rough shape), but despite everything he’s been through, Tank’s spirit shines.This big guy is a fun, goofy puppy who loves to be silly and soak up attention. He`s currently living in a foster home where he is learning all of his manners and being the best boy. He loves playing with toys and often gets the zoomies, but is happy to cuddle in bed after.Tank is considered special needs and is looking for a truly special home. He has visual and hearing impairments, along with significant orthopedic disease affecting his legs. He will require ongoing, lifelong veterinary care and a family committed to helping him live his best, most comfortable life.He’s open to meeting savvy kids who understand how to safely interact with a large, bouncy dog, and he may do well with calm canine companions who respect his space and mobility needs.Tank may need a little more - but he gives a whole lot back. For the right person, he’ll be an incredibly loyal, loving friend and a daily reminder of resilience, joy, and unconditional love.Please email adoptions@pspca.org if you’d like to meet him!_______________The Pennsylvania SPCA350 E Erie Ave., Philadelphia, PA 19134Kennel #3079

Story
Clyde is a 7-month-old Great Dane mix with all the lovable Dane qualities—big, goofy, silly, and oh-so-happy! This handsome boy came to us as a stray and is ready to find a family of his own.Clyde is still a big puppy and is working on learning his basic commands. He’ll need a family committed to continuing his training and giving him the structure and guidance a growing pup needs. A fenced yard is a must for Clyde so he has plenty of room to safely run and stretch those long legs. He would enjoy having another dog friend, but it’s not required. Because of his size and energy, any children in the home should be 10 or older. Large breed or Great Dane experience is preferred.Clyde is a happy, lovable goofball who’s ready to learn, play, and become someone’s very best friend.
