Story

Meet Birdie This beautiful little girl weighs about 22 pounds and is around two years old. Birdie has one of the sweetest, softest, gentlest souls you will ever meet. While she can definitely be silly and playful at times, most of her day is happily spent doing what she loves most — loving her people. Birdie would make the perfect trail buddy by day and couch potato companion by night. She’s the kind of dog that is just happy to be wherever you are. A traditional fence isn’t a deal breaker for Birdie, because even though she’s small… this girl can fly! She just might jump a fence straight into your heart. Birdie spent much of her life living outside in a backyard with her babies and several other dogs. Because of that, her appreciation for being welcomed indoors and truly loved really shines through. She has wonderful house manners and is so grateful for every bit of kindness she receives. Birdie is fully vetted and ready for her forever home: • Spayed • Heartworm negative • Current on vaccines and preventions • Microchipped and comes with a GeoTag If you’re looking for a loyal, gentle soul who will fill your home with love, Birdie might just be your girl. ##2676577##

Story

Myrtle (ACCT-A-244617) is quickly becoming a volunteer favorite! This sweet gal came in as a stray on March 6 and immediately got glowing reviews from everyone who worked with her. Even her finder described her as friendly, cuddly, and playful. We're still getting to know Myrtle, but so far she's allowed handling and enjoyed sniffing and watching her surroundings, and she's got the cutest little ears to boot! Come meet her at ACCT Philly any day from 10am-6pm! ✨ BEHAVIOR Per volunteer 3/6/2026: Here is Myrtle! She was very sweet with me. She was timid at first and took some time to warm up, but she was very brave. She liked cheese. She enjoyed running around in the yard and watching all of the dog and human activity going on. She was even snuggling in to my lap by the end like a real sweetheart. Per volunteer 3/6/2026: Little Miss Myrtle is a pleasure! She seems like an adventurous girl who loves a good sniff to figure out who else has been around. She was a little nervous going through the kennel at first but quickly understood what was expected of her and walked through with so much bravery! When I came back to see her later she immediately recognized me and got so excited to see me. She seems like a great pal for your daily walk and her adorable floppy ears are just a bonus! ACCT Philly is located at 111 West Hunting Park Ave in Philadelphia. We are open for adoptions 7 days a week. Please visit www.acctphilly.org/adopt for details.

SWEET SHANIA PARSONS

Jack Russell Terrier

Female, Young

Allentown, PA

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Story

There’s something so special about Shania — something that can’t quite be captured in a photo. At just 9 months old and 12 pounds, this Parsons Terrier/Westie mix has already been through more than most dogs her age, yet she radiates quiet hope and sweetness. When you first meet her, she may hang back a little, unsure of what to expect. But once she realizes you’re kind, she softens — her tail gives a shy wag, and her eyes begin to sparkle. You can almost see her heart opening up as she learns to trust. That’s Shania’s magic — she doesn’t just love; she chooses you, one gentle moment at a time. Shania loves other dogs and would thrive in a home where she can have a friendly canine companion or calm human friends to help her continue to blossom. She’d do best with older children or adults, as younger ones have been unkind to her in the past. She deserves a peaceful, loving home where she can feel safe and cherished. She’s fully vetted, spayed, and ready to begin her new life — one filled with kindness, stability, and love. Shania’s foster family says everyone who meets her is captivated by her tender personality and soulful spirit. This little treasure is ready to start fresh and discover what it feels like to be truly loved. If you can give her that gift, she’ll return it tenfold.Please contact Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@gmail.com to learn more about adopting Shania. She’s in Tennessee and can travel north on one of our weekend transports. PLEASE NOTE: Our dogs are transported from Tennessee to meeting places in the states where we have posted. Further information about us is given on our Adopt-A-Pet site. The adoption fees vary and will be provided as well as noted on the application you receive.

Story

Bella is 11 and 1/2 years old born on August 6, 2014. She a very sweet and loving girl who is loved very much. She loves to sit on a lap and just fall asleep. She loves being next to someone all the time. She follows us around the house constantly and waits on us for bedtime. She gets along great with her cousin Great Danes and kids of all ages. She loves to play and sleep. She listens to all commands and lets you know when she has to go outside. She loves her treats and loves to bring them to you and eat them at your feet. It breaks my heart to have to leave her. My new place will not allow pets and I am moving after a divorce. Any help and loving home is very much appreciated.

Story

Meet Sparky Sparky may technically be a senior, but no one told him that. This happy-go-lucky little guy still loves his walks, does great on a leash, and is always ready to see what the day has in store. He’s the kind of dog who just wants to be by your side—your shadow, your walking buddy, your “what are we doing next?” pal. Sparky is friendly with other dogs, ridiculously cute (like, unfairly cute), and has an easygoing, joyful personality that makes him a pleasure to have around. He’s not asking for much—just a comfy spot to relax, some daily strolls, and people to call his own. He’s also crate trained and rides great in the car. If you’re looking for a sweet, loyal companion who still has plenty of pep but also appreciates the simple things, Sparky might be your guy. Seniors are one of rescue’s best-kept secrets—and Sparky is ready to prove it. Sparky is currently being fostered in Pottstown, PA and will be available to go to his forever home on or after March 14, 2026. Note: Sparky is currently undergoing heartworm treatment. The rescue will walk his adopter through the treatment plan, which currently includes a simple pill 2x daily.
