Story

Story
** Snowman Sam’s adoption fee has been generously sponsored by one of our amazing supporters! ** Meet Snowman Sam ❄️🐾 Snowman Sam came to us from ACCT Philly after his beloved elderly owner became ill and could no longer care for him. At just five years old, Sam has had his whole world turned upside down — and while he’s understandably feeling unsure right now, beneath that uncertainty is an incredibly sweet and loyal little guy just waiting to feel safe again. Snowman Sam does well with other small dogs, but big dogs can be a bit overwhelming for him. Because he needs time and patience to build trust, he would do best in a home without young children and with experienced adult owners who understand that love sometimes takes time. Once you’re “in” with Snowman Sam, you’re really in — he is the ultimate snuggle pup and will happily soak up all the cozy couch time you’re willing to give. He just needs a calm home, gentle guidance, and someone willing to let him adjust at his own pace. If you’re ready to give this deserving boy the stability and compassion he needs to bloom again, please apply to adopt at: 🌟 www.angelsretreat.org Snowman Sam is ready for his fresh start — could it be with you? ❤️ Angel’s Retreat West Chester, PA PA Kennel License 17335

Story
Serious inquiries only.We are rehoming our Shih Tzu Maltese (Malshi) puppy. She has received her first round of shots and comes with paperwork, training pads, and a toy.Rehoming fee: $550. Reasonable offers will be considered, but please do not inquire if your budget is below $ 500.She is very social, affectionate, and loves to be held. She enjoys being around people and thrives on attention, so we are looking for a home that can provide her with the time, care, and companionship she deserves.She is doing well and listens well for her age but will still need continued training and consistency as she grows.A lot of time, effort, and care has gone into raising her. We have done our best to give her a loving, spacious environment and want to ensure she goes to a responsible and caring home.Additional photos and videos are available upon request.

Story
Meet Charlie, a fabulous 5-year-old poodle mix. Charlie still has a mountain of energy and a zest for life—he just happens to have some very specific royal preferences. Simply put: Charlie thinks leashes are completely overrated. Why walk when you have a perfectly good human to carry you like the king you are? He loves his emotional support donut, and toys are his love language. He is a total lap dog at heart who wants nothing more than to be held, and chauffeured around. He got his new 'do and is now ready to meet you! If you're looking for an energetic, loyal sidekick who prefers arms over sidewalks, Charlie is your guy! To see more of Charlie in action, please follow this link: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1AylrMFz8pDyIL-hvv0Oz5LiEuvUcVnr_?usp=drive_link If you're interested in adopting this animal, please come meet them at our shelter (1242 Lombard St.)! Our adoption hours are Tuesdays and Saturdays from 12-5pm, and Wednesdays and Fridays from 12-7pm. No appointment is necessary! We also have adoptable cats at the South Philly PetSmart (2360 W Oregon Ave.) Please check our adoption hours using the link; https://calendly.com/marfosters/petsmart-oregon-avenue-adoption-hours If you have any questions, email us at adopt@morrisanimalrefuge.org.

Story
Noel is a sweet, super playful 2-year-old girl who loves walks, playing with other dogs, and bananas (her favorite 🍌). She has a fun, happy personality and really shines when she’s active or spending time outdoors. She’d do best in a home with other small dogs to play with and learn from. Noel is very loving and people-focused—she bonds closely with her person and loves being nearby. Noel is still building confidence with alone time and will need a patient adopter who’s committed to giving her structure, routine, and continued training. She can get overwhelmed when left alone right now, but she’s already making progress and will keep improving with consistency. Noel is potty trained on a regular schedule and does best with frequent opportunities to go outside. With the right home and guidance, Noel is going to be an incredibly loyal companion who brings so much love and energy into her forever home. 💛 Kennel License 18972 https://www.familiarhearts.org/adoptable-pets

Story
Lady’s a 7yo 10lb Maltese mix. She’s dog selective, cat and kid 13+ friendly. She’s housebroken if kept on a schedule but will wear a diaper and use pee pads and crate trained. She’s good in a secure fenced in yard and/or going for harness leashed walks. She’s agile, smart, likes squeaky toys, people and going for walks but will bark at people, dogs and noises. She is easy startled so best to sleep in a dog bed on the floor so not to accidentally wake her while sleeping. Lady’s foster requires a calm home, where someone is home often, so not to be left for long periods of time, be an only dog, brushed/groomed often to prevent matting along with leadership, consistency, structure and to continue working on training. If your home DOES NOT meet these requirement’s please DO NOT put an application in. We will not call anyone whose home does not meet the needed requirements. Also, we will be concentrating on local to foster applications 1st since home checks and meets with all humans and animals in home is needed at meet. Our fosters are all volunteers so aren’t always able to travel too far. Lady as all dogs should have 2 weeks in their new home with just their people who live in the home and to not have people over for at least 2 weeks. Dogs need time to settle in and adjust to their new people and environment first so they can learn to trust them first. Lady takes medication for a seizure disorder and for her eyes. She’s spayed, vaccinated, HW negative and microchipped. Currently in Phila, PA. If your home meets the needed requirements and you’re interested in applying to adopt please do so at www.tprescue.org
