Story
Meet Morsel, a gentle young adult whose world hasn’t always been kind. She came from a severe hoarding case, and because of that, she’s still learning that people, homes, and love can be safe. Morsel is very shy and skittish, and she needs time to observe, breathe, and decide she trusts you — but when she does, it’s incredibly special. Morsel is searching for a truly patient, understanding adopter, ideally someone with experience with timid or fearful dogs. She won’t be your instant best friend, but she has so much potential waiting just beneath the surface. With consistency, calm reassurance, and zero pressure, she can continue to blossom. Other dogs are her comfort zone. Morsel is wonderful with dogs of all sizes, naturally submissive, and must have another dog in the home to help her feel safe and confident. A canine companion is not just a preference for her — it’s a necessity. Because she’s sensitive, Morsel would do best in a quieter household. Children should be older and respectful, able to understand that love sometimes means giving space and letting trust grow slowly. Morsel has a spay appointment scheduled for 3/24/2026 in the Reading, PA area. If you believe in second chances, quiet victories, and the beauty of earning a dog’s trust day by day, Morsel may be the soul you’ve been waiting for. Sometimes the most rewarding love is the one you have to grow together.   Available 2/7/26 Mostly Muttz Rescue, PO Box 406, Gilbertsville, PA 19525PA Kennel License 10872 ##2641184##

Story
Hi! My name is Geo, I am 2-3 years old.  My foster mom says I am a complete angel.  I had a hard start to life, too long to go into details.  I was hit by a car about a month ago and broke my tail!  Luckily, I was taken to the vet, they helped me feel better.  Now I am living in a foster home with 3 furry dog siblings that I love to play with.  I have trust issues due to my checkered past; however, you can win my heart over by giving me lots of snacks!!  After a short few hours in my foster home, I quickly learned that people are nice.  After 1 day, I learned to jump in my foster mom’s lap and let her pick me up.  Now she tells me that I am her shadow!  I follow her everywhere, even to the bathroom!  I weigh about 13 lbs, I am the size of a big Chihuahua, but I look a little like a pittie mix.  I am the cutest!!  I have the cutest freckles inside my big ears, and my tail is curvy from my injury.  I like to talk to my foster siblings when we play.  Playing outside is my favorite.  I sleep all night in my crate, and I am almost house trained.  I will prance around the room to let you know I need to potty, but if you don’t let me out, I might have an accident inside.  I am looking for a new family that will have patience to let me trust and love.  It won’t take long for me to love you back, you just need to have a pocket full of snacks!  Apply at bcaaofnj.org Interested in adopting this pet?Click here for BCAA's on-line Application! PLEASE NOTE: Our adoption fee helps to cover our expenses and includes all shots, *age appropriate*, distemper and rabies, fecal check, spay/neuter, heartworm test, grooming, and in many cases dental and also the fee we pay when we rescue from a shelter.

Story
Meet Holland: Holland is estimated to be about a 2 year old (as of February 2026) rat terrier / kelpie mix (best guess) that weighs 23 pounds. Holland was found running around Memphis with 2 traveling companions. The trio were brought into a shelter and seemed shy. Our rescue was able to get them into a foster home where they have opened up. Holland is currently being fostered in the south and would love to take the freedom ride north to Pennsylvania to meet more prospective families. Holland is a cute, affectionate little guy. Holland loves to snuggle up to you at night and gets along well with other dogs in the foster home. Holland doesn't bark excessively and isn't destructive - he’s a great buddy to have around. Holland is currently house trained to a doggie door and may need some patience while adjusting to a new method. We would love for Holland to have a home with a fenced in yard so he can play freely. Holland is up to date on his shots and neutered. If you are interested in adding this little man into your life, please go to Charlie’s Crusaders website (www.charliescrusaders.org) to fill out an application. CURRENT LOCATION: Tennessee, awaiting transport to PA ##2650357##

Story
✨Meet Molly!✨ Molly is a 9-week-old Jack Russell Terrier mix who came into us as a surrender from a commercial breeding facility (aka Puppy Mill) in Lancaster County. Puppy mills are producing puppies at alarmingly high rates. It is easier for them to give up puppies who are not easily sold/don’t sell as they usually have multiple litters of puppies for sale at the same time. Adopting a puppy mill survivor is life-changing—for you and them. For these dogs, everything is new and often overwhelming: people, houses, stairs, leashes, food bowls, collars, toys, TVs, ovens, doorways, pavement…the list goes on. They need adopters who can move slowly, be patient, keep expectations reasonable, and provide the understanding and tools they need to grow into happy, confident companions. Patience, positive reinforcement, and understanding are key! With the right guidance, puppy mill survivors can blossom into well-socialized, joyful dog- so our goal is always to ensure every adopter is fully prepared to give them the life and environment they need to truly thrive! Molly is a sweet but shy puppy who will require a family up to the task of providing her the ample physical/mental exercise and training that all puppies require. Puppies require a family who can continue their basic training and socialization skills to grow into confident and happy adult dogs! If you are interested in being considered for them please apply on our website at www.angelsretreat.org 💕🐾 Angel’s Retreat West Chester, PA PA Kennel License 17335
