Story
CASHMERE is also still looking for her furever home.  Cashmere(Cash) is a 7 yo Maltese weighing 12 lbs that we rescued from a commercial breeding kennel. Cash had to have her remaining teeth removed due to decay but has no trouble eating food. She has a great appetite and runs over when hears the refrigerator door opening. She goes potty outside, walks daily around the neighborhood on a leash, enjoys good soft food and exploring the yard. She is good with every dog we meet and our pitbull. She is good in the crate overnight and I have left her for 4-5 hours during the day with no problem.  She knows “go potty”.  Her crate has also been dry overnight. She will also be happy to sleep in your bed with you all night. She knows come, time to eat, let’s go for a walk, and of course No. She will need another calm dog in the home to show her the ropes and build her confidence. I do have a fenced yard and that would be preferred as she loves it. But if no fence, she will need to be on a leash to be safe and need a daily walk or two. She is still shy and will need someone with patience and know that it takes time for them to trust you.  Mill dogs make the best pets ever who will bond with you forever.  Cashmere is now spayed, up to date with vaccines and microchipped. She tested negative for heartworm and has been started on monthly heartworm prevention. Her adoption fee is $250.00. If you are interested in adopting Cashmere,  please visit our website www.lharinc.org go to Adopt and complete the dog adoption application.  Logan's Heroes Animal Rescue 9411 Kings Highway, East Greenville, PA 18041.

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
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
Hi everyone, my name is Fleurette! 🌸 As my name suggests, I am just a little flower and I am looking for the very best home where I can bloom! I am a 3 year old, 13 pound Bichon/Poodle mix. Thankfully, I was recently surrendered by a commercial breeder who bred me over and over again so they could make money off the sale of my puppies. Due to the conditions I spent the first few years of my life in, I am still quite timid and nervous around people. However, I am slowly but surely learning what it means to be a loved pet in a home and that people can be caring. 💕 My foster family says even though it takes time for me to warm up to new people, once I'm comfortable, I'm able to relax and enjoy their company. My furry foster brother has been really important in helping me learn what it means to be a loved dog. It will be essential that I go to a home with another confident dog who will help me continue to learn what it means to be a loved pet, to feel safe, and who I can look to when something new comes up. I will need a calm and quiet home and for my furever family to be patient with me. One of my favorite ways to spend the afternoons and evenings with my foster family is curled up on the couch getting little snuggles and pets. 🏡 I am crate trained and I spend the day in there while my foster parents are at work and I sleep in it at night too. I am learning how to walk well on a leash but I can still be a little on edge with new sights, smells, and sounds so I would really like my foster sibling to walk with us too. I am doing really good with potty training but accidents are to be expected until I understand the routine in my new home. 🐾 Due to my Bichon/Poodle coat, I will need regular grooming. I am spayed, microchipped, and up to date on my vaccines. I am currently being fostered in Bethlehem, PA and potential adopters may need to travel for a meet and greet. If you'd like to be my furever family, please fill out an application on our website using a laptop or desktop! Kennel license # 9117 Po box 2372 Reading PA 19608

Story
Meet Talia 💕 a 6-year-old Shih Tzu/Poodle mix with a gentle spirit and a heart that just needs time. Talia is a very shy, sensitive girl who is still learning to feel safe in the world around her. She is not a dog who seeks out attention right away in fact, she currently prefers space over physical affection and may not enjoy being pet at this time. Talia will need a patient, understanding home that respects her boundaries and allows her to come around on her own terms. While she may not be a “cuddly” dog right now, Talia finds comfort in quiet environments and consistent routines. With time, trust, and gentle encouragement, she has the potential to build meaningful bonds but her future family must be willing to go slow and celebrate the small wins. Talia is fully vaccinated, spayed, and has excellent manners for grooming. She is doing very well with housebreaking and continues to improve, though she may still have occasional accidents as she adjusts. Talia would do best in a calm, low-traffic home with patient adopters who understand shy or undersocialized dogs. She’s looking for someone who will love her for who she is right now not who they expect her to be. If you have a quiet home and a big heart for dogs who need a little extra understanding, Talia could be your girl 💗 Apply to adopt Talia here: https://www.zoeshouserescue.com/adopt Zoe’s House Rescue
