Story
✨Meet Fifo!✨ Fifo came to us as an owner surrender due to his previous family reporting they were moving out of the country immediately. This broke our hearts, and after taking him and his housemate in and shaving down these poor matted dogs, we found that the female dog had just recently had puppies and was actively producing a lot of milk. We immediately contacted the family, because it was clear she should not have been separated from the puppies based on her current state. We found out in the end, that the family had bred Fifo and his housemate, and kept all the puppies, but made up the story about them moving, so that they could surrender the adults to the shelter. All of our animals are fully vetted, including spay/neuter, microchipping, vaccinations, and any other necessary medical care. After adoption, dogs need time to adjust to their new homes and thrive with families who can provide exercise, enrichment, positive reinforcement training, and socialization. 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

Story
Carmella is an energetic sweetheart, but as she has aged she has become less patience with our 4 small children. She nips at them when she is afraid or believes they are reaching toward her. We believe she has cataracts but it is hard to know for sure and we are unwilling to put forth the costs for medical treatments! We are hoping someone will come along and take care of her!
