Story

I've made a difficult decision to rehome my beautiful 1-year-old Shih Tzu/Bichon Frise. This is not a decision I've made lightly.

I am willing to negotiate but the priority is to get Layyah a new home with a loving and caring family.

Story

Tiny, Tilted, and Totally Perfect Tinker is a 15-year-old, 15-pound sweetheart with a built-in head tilt that makes her look like she’s always politely listening—even though she’s deaf. She may not hear your voice, but she absolutely feels the love, and she’s all about gentle pets, cozy naps, and being your loyal little sidekick. This lovely senior gal does great with other dogs and cats and would thrive in a peaceful home where she can enjoy her golden years in comfort. If you’ve ever wanted a tiny companion who will happily accept all your affection and give you unconditional love in return, Tinker is your girl. Warning: prolonged exposure to Tinker may result in spontaneous “aww” noises. March 7, 2026, 9:03 am

Story

Lilly is a wonderful companion for someone with an active lifestyle. She would thrive with a family that enjoys spending time outdoors, as she has plenty of energy and would make an excellent jogging or hiking buddy. Lilly can be selective when it comes to other dogs. While she may not get along well with unfamiliar dogs, she can become friendly with them once she's had time to get to know them through slow, positive introductions. At mealtime, she does best being fed separately from other dogs to help her feel comfortable and avoid any food-related conflicts. With the right family who can provide regular exercise, patience, and understanding, Lilly has the potential to be a loyal and loving companion.

Story

🐾 Meet Onyx – Looking for His Forever Home 🐾It is with mixed emotions we are seeking a new home for our sweet boy. Onyx is a 6-year-old, fun-loving, energetic dog who likes to snuggle and still thinks he's a puppy at times! He loves to play, enjoys attention, and has a big personality that will keep you smiling. We welcomed him into our family during the COVID pandemic after getting him from a breeder in the Lincoln, PA area. During that time, we had plenty of time for training, daily walks, playtime, and giving him all the attention he deserved.As life has changed, so have our schedules. Between busy lifestyles and increased work travel, we've come to the difficult realization that we can no longer give Onyx the time and activity he truly deserves.Our greatest wish is to find him a loving, caring family, preferably one with children, where he can receive the love, playtime, and companionship he thrives on.

Story

Buster came to us several years ago after my sister's death, so we're unsure of his age. He is a friendly, even temperament companion. Very good with children. We hate having to surrender such a good friend, but our own health issues make it necessary. We would love to see him find a loving home and appreciate your efforts in accomplishing that.

Story

This friend has just arrived because their owner could no longer keep them. While owners can provide some history on their pets, our medical and behavioral teams will still evaluate them. Dogs that have lived in homes previously typically have some training established, but we cannot guarantee that those behaviors will remain consistent in a new home environment. They are pending interactions with other animals at the shelter until they have been cleared by our vet. Our staff will spend some time getting to know them and we will update their bio with more information as we learn. If you are interested in adopting this dog, please submit an adoption questionnaire! Our adoption process is on a first-come, best-match basis and we are not able to hold animals. If you are interested in this specific dog but it ends up not being the best fit upon meeting, our adoption counselors will work with you to help find a match! All household members, including children and other dogs, must come along for the meeting to make sure it's a good fit. If a match is made, we encourage same-day adoptions! Our adoption fees include the animals' spay/neuter, microchip, age-appropriate vaccinations and preventatives, fecal testing, heartworm testing, and a small bag of food to get you started.
