Story
Berry is about 11 months old. I got her from a rescue I found on pet finder. She was scared and injured when I got her and needed lots of care and attention to become the dog she is today. She is loving for the most part and loves everyone, but does have some pretty bad behavioral issues. She resource guards and will snap at you if you try to take her toys. She also shows signs of aggression when she feels threatened which has made it difficult to care for her the way she needs. She will need training to see if those behaviors can be fixed. In my time caring for her the behaviors have only gotten worse and I feel I am walking on eggs shells with her never knowing the next thing that will set her off, like bath time, cutting nails, giving her medicine etc. any time she feels threatened or I have to do something she doesn’t like I have the potential to be snapped at. I’m looking for a home for her where someone can put in the work to train her and become the best most loving dog.

Story
Xena came into our care after being found as a stray. She had previously had an owner, and we worked with her veterinarian and local shelter to try to locate them, but unfortunately her owner never responded or came forward. We have cared for her since then and are now looking for the right permanent home.Xena is approximately 3–4 years old and around 44 lbs. She is sweet, affectionate, cuddly, and very people-oriented. She loves walks, exploring, treats, and being around her people.Xena does have significant separation anxiety and can become very anxious when left alone, so she would do best with someone who is home frequently and can give her patience and consistency. She can also get very excited around other dogs. We are looking for a loving, stable home that understands her needs and can give her the time and attention she deserves.We are currently working on Crate Training and using medication for her separation Anxiety and creating a training plan.

Story
Pepper's a deeply loved dog (a rescue) in need of a special home. For several years, she has been part of a family that adores her and has invested extensively in her care including work with trainers and veterinary behavior specialists. Circumstances have changed with the arrival of a newborn, and Pepper's behavioral needs now exceed what the family can safely and responsibly manage in their current environment. Pepper can be affectionate, loyal, and strongly bonded to the people she trusts. Pepper struggles with fear, anxiety, and behavioral challenges that require an experienced handler and a carefully managed living situation. She would do best with someone who understands behaviorally complex dogs and is committed to continuing the structure, management and support. We are seeking a foster-to-adopt, foster, or permanent placement with an experienced caregiver, trainer, or dog-savvy household that can provide a calm, stable environment. Full financial support available.

Story
Wally is a small 14 yr old mix with Maltese. We adopted him 6 years ago from a Philadelphia rescue; they found him on the street and had been harmed on the street and the vet removed his left eye prior to our adoption. Wally was housetrained when we got him and lived with a cat well. Wally has been a part of various private dog parks and does well with other small to medium sized dogs, & has had good experiences with larger dogs, if they are not triggered by his smallness. He is little and sturdy, loves people and enjoys being held and fetch with his toys; he naviagtes well with his one eye. He enjoys car rides and loves riding in his skybox car seat. He does well when he goes to friends for dogsitting and gets attached quickly, I unfortuantely, spent the last year and a half going through many treatments and surgeries for cancer and currently in the process of moving; these factors are the precipitants I am no longer able to provide the same degree of care he does well with.

Story
Kali was adopted in April 2025 when I had a WFH job and plenty of time to care for her, as she is a high energy dog and LOVES fetch and long walks (3-4 miles). However, I need to work multiple jobs and will likely lose my house, where she loves to play catch/fetch in the backyard. She needs lots of exercise but is HIGHLY trainable. At dog parks she likes to play referee, but I have babysat a lot of dogs and she gets along well, playing tug of war and wrestling with in the house with zero aggression. She loves to chase squirrels on leash but is generally receptive to people if you are welcoming to them. Has no medical issues, is around 5. Uncrated in the house and has no destructive tendencies. Truly she is a phenomenal dog and it breaks my heart to rehome her, but she deserves a home with lots of time to exercise, love and train her.

We rescued Laila almost 8 years ago. We love her and are heartbroken about having to rehome her. We are an aging couple and having difficulty taking care of her. She is a sweet lovable dog. She is amazing with children. She is housebroken and crate trained. She likes a routine. She likes knowing that someone is home but also likes her own space.

He also learned a new trick: shake.Odin has a calm, easygoing personality with bursts of goofy puppy energy. He's currently living with three other dogs and generally does well with them once he's had a little time to adjust. He would also do well as an only dog with daily exercise alongside his human.What he needs to thrive:• A confident handler with some dog experience• Regular physical and mental exercise• A home without small animals• Structure and consistency• Older kidsOdin is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines and flea, tick, and heartworm preventatives.

Chance we rescued at 5 months! He is the sweetest most gentle soul that deserves a loving home! He loves to snuggle and just wants pets and cuddles all day!He has struggled with skin allergies since he was young (1) and we have tried to manage his comfort for 12 years. We now have 3 young kids and his condition needs more attention. He does require between 1 or 2 baths a week for his skin. Between the keep upWith the house/family and his allergies we have found we can not fit it all in and we have found he doesn’t get the attention he needs from us anymoredue to us being spread so thin with allof our other responsibilities that have piled up with our 3rd baby being born. He deserves a good rest of life and I want him to be loved by someone who also needs a companion as well!
