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.

Story
✨Meet Garbanzo Bean!✨ Garbanzo Bean came to us as an owner surrender after his family abandoned him at the house of a person they barely knew, who worked in cat rescue. This person could not keep the dogs and gave them to us to find loving homes for. 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
Bella came to FARM in need of a forever home. She is a 4 year old, 9 pound spayed female Shih Tzu mix. Bella is affectionate, very playful, and is energetic. She is also an accomplished escape artist and is able to squeeze through the tiniest spaces and take off. Bella does fine with other small dogs and loves people. She uses a weewee pad when she is not able to go outside to the bathroom. Bella absolutely loves being outside, but again, she has now escaped from people numerous times and ended up a the shelter. Bella's perfect home would be with an owner who wants an affectionate, energetic, and smart young dog and has a very, very secure home. Meet and greets for approved adopters will be by appointment. If you are interested in adopting, please fill out a dog application which can be found at http://adopt.farm.

Story
Mila came to FARM in need of a forever home. She came to us in not great condition, but her wonderful foster family is working to rectify that. Mila is 7 years old, weighs about 10 pounds, and is very sweet natured. She will be vetted early next week to determine whether or not she is spayed. If not, she will be. She had some hair loss from flea dermatitis, but is recovering with medication and medicated baths. Meet and greets for approved adopters will be by appointment. If you are interested in adopting, please fill out a dog application which can be found at http://adopt.farm.
