Story
Meet Darla, a 4-year-old sweetheart weighing in at just 9 pounds! This adorable little lady may be small, but she's packed full of personality, love, and charm. When Darla first came to us, she had very thin fur, likely due to a flea allergy that caused significant hair loss. The good news? Her coat is growing back beautifully, and she's feeling better every day! In her foster home, Darla has been thriving. She loves playing with the other dogs, going for car rides, and exploring the world around her. Her foster mom says Darla's favorite thing is simply being with her people. Whether it's running errands, going on adventures, or curling up on the couch for a snuggle session, Darla is happiest right by your side. She's active enough to enjoy life's adventures, but she's also a professional cuddler who will gladly help you relax after a busy day. ADOPTION PROCESS 1. Review our adoption contract and application. 2. Call your vet and references to inform them that a rescue representative will be calling. 3.

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

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.All of the animals posted on our site have been temperament tested. While not all are in the immediate area, once we have processed and approved your application, we will move the dog to our adoptive area for you to meet, greet and hopefully adopt. Sometimes we will have more than one application on a dog. That does not mean it automatically goes to another family but you should be aware of the fact that until you are approved and set up for the meet/greet.. the dog could get adopted by another applicant.Nino is one sweet little Maltipoo and has already won over his foster in only moments!    BACK STORY ON NINO; Nino had a rough start to life.  While he had a home, it is apparent that his human didn’t spend much quality time with him. He arrived at his foster home very stressed and afraid. He doesn’t seem to have been exposed to much of the world, but he is curious to explore new things with gentle encouragement. He has his own little (poodle) personality and likes to cuddle up and receive attention. His fur is as soft as velvet! He’ll cuddle next to you on the couch but is also content to lounge on the floor next to your feet. He gets along with other dogs but doesn’t really interact with them.  Nino is a good eater and likes just about everything, including cucumbers and cauliflower! He enjoys exploring and walks well on leash.  He is house trained and will go to the door (or whine) when he needs to go outside.  He is very food driven and also very smart, which makes him easy to train.  He wants to please and will do just about anything for treats! He sleeps well (sleeps on his bed on the floor) and doesn’t demand to get up early (lets you sleep in if you want!)   Due to his slow start in life, Nino is a little on the nervous side.  He needs more time with a human parent who will help show him the world and build his confidence.  Obedience training with his new human is a requirement in order to continue building his trust and confidence.  He enjoys his training sessions with his foster mom and may eventually also like to do other forms of training such as agility. Nino is crate trained but doesn’t require being confined to a crate when he is home alone. He doesn’t get into things he shouldn’t, so hurting himself or making messes should not be much of a concern.  He is also fine with being left alone. I think he enjoys the peace and quiet Nino will need a quiet home with a person experienced with the poodle breed or who has a calm demeanor.  He tends to be concerned when meeting new people, so a household that has lots of people coming and going is not a good fit.    This little guy has the potential to make someone a great companion, but no small children.  He is curious about cats but doesn’t chase them.     If you are interested in Nino, please fill out an application at: https://reachoutrescue.rescuegroups.org/forms/form?formid=4588    Or contact: rorrcanine@gmail.com   *** Click here to sponsor this dog! ***Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.June 18, 2026, 11:44 am

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.This is a courtesy posting. Please call 410-627-6563 for information on fostering or adopting Truman. At 11 pounds and 1 1/2 years old this sweet boy is in need of a soft place to land. Poor little Truman was found running scared through the streets of Baltimore City trying to survive. Kids were throwing cans and bricks at him. Although he is improving in his loving foster home, his previous life has left him somewhat fearful and he will require someone with previous dog experience and a lot of patience. He gains comfort from other dogs and will need a dog companion in his new home as well as a physically fenced yard. Can anyone help this little survivor?Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.June 17, 2026, 9:16 am
