Story
Meet Milo! Rescued after an extremely rough start, Milo is doing very well in his foster home. According to his foster mom, he has put on 3 lbs, and is starting to play and really show his adorable personality. He is still eating multiple small meals a day to help him gain weight and he continues to get stronger every day. He will have an appointment at the end of the month with our surgeon to recheck his leg. Interested in adopting Milo? Please visit www.huskyhouse.org today to fill out an application.July 28, 2026, 8:26 pm

Story
Meet Maui, a 5 year old Bichon/Maltese mix. He came to Castle of Dreams from a local animal shelter when he was found as a stray in Rahway. Maui is looking for a quiet adult only home with a patient, experienced dog owner that will help him to feel secure again after being anxious in his previous shelter experience. He is a little on the nervous side but once he gets to know you, he is a great and friendly dog. Maui does have some fear aggression so if he feels threatened, he will bite as his way of telling you he is afraid. As with many rescue dogs, Maui is not a fan of thunderstorms, fireworks or loud noises that startle him. Maui loves to go for rides in the car and will be by your side as much as he can. He also enjoys sitting by the window and watching the world. Maui prefers to be the only pet in the home as he loves all the attention...and deserves it too! He is very friendly, housebroken and listens well. He just needs some TLC from a patient owner who is willing to work with him on his fears to help him feel loved and safe. Maui is neutered, microchipped and up to date on vaccines. He will make a great lifelong companion if given a chance to feel comfortable, loved and not threatened.  If you are interested in adopting from Castle-of-Dreams Animal Rescue, please complete an Adoption Application We are a 100% volunteer organization and have several opportunities available in fundraising, fostering, dog care, events and lots more!  To join our winning team, please complete a Volunteer Application A healthy pet is a happy pet!

Story
Yoshi is a 3-year-old mix of Maltese and Shih Tzu with an excellent temperament despite the loss of one of his eyes. He’s dog friendly (but not cats), and very loving, as seen in his enjoyment of being held! He loves bones, too! He weighs 10-15 pounds, so any small children in the home should have experience with such a small dog. In other words, Yoshi is just a great little dog! (He has been treated for Heartworm and is ready for adoption.) (posted 7/12/26, ME) ' 'Adoption Fee: $395.00-- covers microchip, worming, all vaccines, monthly heart worm preventative, monthly tick/flea preventative, spaying/neutering, health certificate, and complete medical records. Transport Fee: $170.00-- We consider the transport to be of great importance and, as such, take particular care of the dogs during the trip. We make every effort to arrive with healthy and minimally stressed dogs. **It is rare that we know with certainty the ages or mixes that make up our dogs, but we do our best to be as accurate as possible based upon our experience. **July 31, 2026, 11:50 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.NJ Benny is a handsome Maltese-Poodle mix who is looking for a new home! Benny was adopted to a loving couple a few years ago, but sadly, his owners can no longer care for him due to their ongoing health issues. He is currently in foster in NJ ready to find a forever home where he can live out his golden years.  Benny is the sweetest little dog and the most loyal of companions. He gets very attached to his person/people, but he loves everyone, including all animals, though we do think he would do best with older kids who will be gentle with him. Benny is pretty mellow, but occasionally he’ll want to play fetch and keep away with his lambchop toy.  Benny would do best in a home that is understanding of the needs of a senior dog and someone who is home a lot. Due to his arthritis, he does not go on walks, but will go out in the yard briefly. He also cannot do stairs and needs to be carried up/down them. He goes to the bathroom outside and on pee pads, but does have an occasional accident. He has cataract and slight age related hearing loss, but overall he is in good health.    Benny is micro-chipped and up to date on vaccines, heartworm and flea & tick preventatives.  Benny tested negative for heartworm.  His adoption fee is $300.  After all Benny has been through, he deserves a loving, committed home.        Adopting a dog is a commitment that will require annual veterinary care, at minimum, exercise, enrichment, grooming, etc ... Pet care is not cheap nor easy and adopters should consider the cost, and time prior to adoption.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.July 31, 2026, 11:10 pm

Story
PA Kennel License #5254Wags Rescue & ReferralSouthampton Pa 18966 Local Surrender Matilda is an estimated adult spayed female who found her way to us as a local surrender after spending much of her life having multiple litters. Because of that, shes still learning what it truly means to be someones dog and to live the cozy, carefree life she always deserved. Shes currently on a weight-loss journey (go, girl!) and doing her best as she starts this new chapter. At first, Matilda can be shy and observant, preferring the safety of her crate while she takes in the world around her. But once she feels safe and comfortable? Oh, thats when the magic happens. Shell come out for happy little zoomies, gentle affection, and sweet moments that make it clear just how much love shes been saving up. Watching her confidence grow is truly something special. Matilda is crate trained and doing fantastic with house training, especially considering everything is still so new to her. She hasnt tried walking on a leash yet, so that will be another adventure she gets to learn at her own pace. She absolutely loves treats (a great way to win her heart), and shes very friendly with other dogs. In fact, she would likely thrive in a home with another dog who can help show her the ropes and reassure her that life is safe and good now. This little lady is looking for a patient, kindhearted person who can see her potential and give her the time and space to blossom. The love Matilda gives once she trusts you is quiet, sincere, and deeply rewarding the kind of love that feels earned and extra special. Matilda is ready to start the life shes always waited for. All she needs is someone willing to walk beside her as she learns just how wonderful being loved can be.

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
