Story
Mae Mae Mae Mae is approximately a 4 year old Rhodesian Ridgeback and is absolutely beautiful and reminds you of a small deer. Mae Mae is as sweet as can be. If you are looking for a low maintenance, couch loving, tv watching, sometimes plays with toys dog, then she is your go to girl. Mae Mae was found in an abandoned building with a severely broken leg which had to be amputated. She is still a resilient girl after all that she has been through. Mae Mae spends her days being lazy on the couch and looking out the window to be apart of the neighborhood watch. Mae Mae is housebroken; she also uses the doggy door in her foster home. Mae Mae knows some commands and if you tell her to go to her crate, she will go in without repetitive asking. Mae Mae sometimes plays with toys and/or chews on bones. Mae Mae loves to be around her people. Mae Mae does not let having three legs dampen her spirit at all. Mae Mae loved playing in the snow we had, will run around the backyard, jump on the bed and sprawl out and roll around when she is happy. Mae Mae is now ready to find her furever home. Mae Mae is currently fostered with other dogs. Mae Mae will need someone who is a leader and will keep that leadership role in the home. Of course with any dog, the decompression stage is very important, as well as slow introductions and understanding.

Story
🐾 Meet Canela! 🐾 Name: Canela Age: 1 year old Gender: Female Weight: 64 lbs Size: Big girl, big heart! ❤️ Canela’s story is one of survival. We rescued her just minutes before she was scheduled to be euthanized at a high-kill shelter in South Texas, near the Texas–Mexico border. She was given a second chance, and now she’s ready to find the family she was always meant to have. Canela is a big, beautiful ball of energy with an even bigger personality! She is incredibly sweet, loving, smart, curious, playful, and adventurous. She loves being involved in everything her people are doing and is definitely a Velcro dog — if you’re there, she wants to be right there with you. ❤️ She LOVES to play, and water is one of her favorite things! Whether she’s running around, exploring, playing with her ball, or finding something fun to get into, Canela is always ready for her next adventure. She is leash trained, crate trained, and house trained, and she does well with kids. She also enjoys other dogs who can match her energetic and playful temperament. Now, let’s talk about her personality! 😂 Canela is not shy about asking for attention. She has a demanding little personality when it comes to getting love and attention, and she will absolutely let you know when she thinks it’s time to focus on her. She’s affectionate, people-oriented, and wants to be part of the action. And one very important Canela fact: She can jump ANY fence. And I mean ANY fence. 😂 Height does not seem to matter to this girl. Her future family will need to be extremely careful with fencing and have a secure plan to keep this adventurous escape artist safely contained. 🏡 Canela’s ideal home Canela needs an active home with people who understand and appreciate an energetic young dog. She would thrive with a family that enjoys outdoor adventures, playtime, exercise, and keeping their dog mentally and physically engaged. Her energy can be a lot if you’re expecting a calm couch potato — but if you’re looking for a fun-loving adventure buddy who will shower you with affection, Canela may be your girl. Once you get past her “I HAVE ENERGY AND I NEED YOU TO KNOW ABOUT IT!” personality, you’ll discover the most loving, loyal, affectionate girl. Canela has already fought hard for her second chance. Now she just needs someone who will give her the active, loving forever home she deserves. 🐾❤️ Could Canela be your next adventure buddy? Canela is spayed, heart worm negative, current on age-appropriate vaccinations, current on flea/tick and heart worm prevention, microchipped, current on de-wormer, and will receive a clean bill of health from a licensed veterinarian prior to transport.

Story
Hi I adopted Jack 1 1/2 years ago from Faithful Friends Animal Society, he's a Ridgeback mix(unsure of the other breed), Jack is playful, super friendly, loves people, he's great with kids, and gets along really well with other dogs. He's full grown, about 2 1/2 years old weighs about 55-60lbs. Jack is completely house-trained and does well both off and on a leash. He's great with other dogs, and excellent with kids(recommend kids > 5 years old because of his size) loves people, and has an excellent temperament. Unfortunately, due to being relocated for work, I am no longer able to spend as much time with Jack as I would like, and I can't bring myself to leave him locked up in his crate for 10-12 hours a day. An ideal home for Jack would be with someone who enjoys a playful and affectionate companion, has a yard with room for him to run around and play, and maybe already has another dog, he loves the dog park and going for walks through Brandywine park. I really need to find a home

Story
Jake and Gracie are a deeply bonded pair of senior dogs who must stay together. Affectionate, loyal, and low-maintenance, they thrive in a calm, predictable home where they can relax near their people. Gracie, an 8-year-old Rhodesian Ridgeback, is gentle, independent, and very low energy. She’s happiest resting somewhere warm and enjoys companionship without needing constant attention. She’s food-motivated and easygoing. Jake, an approx. 8-year-old mixed breed, is affectionate and loves cuddling and praise. While he has moderate energy, he does best with short bursts of activity and settles well at home. He can be reactive on leash and has a strong prey drive, so a home without other pets is important. They do well with a secure yard, don’t require daily walks, and are happiest in a quieter adult home. They simply want to stay together and be loved.

These pups are in Lancaster, Pennsylvania too!

Story
Meet Freckles: Freckles is about a 7 month old (as of October 2026) Catahoula mix (best guess) that weighs about 40 pounds. Freckles was found running around on the streets as a stray in Batesville, MS and made his way into our rescue. Freckles is being fostered in the south and would love to catch the next freedom ride north to Pennsylvania to meet more prospective families! Freckles is super friendly! Freckles never meets a stranger and is always happy to get attention. Freckles is a very active boy who loves to play with any kind of toy. Freckles has been good with dogs and cats. Freckles loves to take car rides and will happily join you for an adventure. As much as Freckles loves to play, he also loves to cuddle up with you on the couch. Freckles is working on house training; as a pup, he will need some patience while he continues to work on the process. Freckles is crate trained and learning how to walk on a leash. We would love for Freckles to have a home with a fenced in yard for him to run and play freely as he grows. Freckles is up to date on his shots and neutered. If you are interested in giving this loving guy a great life, please go to Charlie’s Crusaders website (www.charliescrusaders.org) to fill out an application.

Story
Meet Bo: Bo is a 2 year old (as of October 2026) Catahoula/Pit mix that weighs 74 pounds. Bo was originally rescued from another organization, but due to unexpected personal circumstances his current owner has no choice but to rehome him and the original shelter said if they took him back he would end up on the euthanasia list. Our rescue stepped in to make sure this handsome boy could avoid that fate and find the right home for him to thrive for a long and happy life! Bo is currently being fostered in the south and would love to catch the next freedom ride north to Pennsylvania to meet more prospective families! Bo absolutely adores people — from kids to adults! He loves attention. Bo is a big, happy, high-energy boy who just needs the right home — a secure setup and someone willing to give him the structure and the love he deserves. Bo has a history of jumping the fence in his old house, his new home would need a tall fence and someone willing to work with him to know his boundaries to stay in the yard. Bo has been friendly with other dogs he’s met but prefers canine friends that are close to his size. He does have a strong prey drive, so he would not do well in a home with small pets/cats. Bo is already house trained and crate trained!   Bo is up to date on his shots and neutered. Bo is ready for his forever family - could it be you?! If you think he could be your new playmate and love bug, please go to Charlie’s Crusaders website (www.charliescrusaders.org) to fill out an application.
