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
Moe is a 7 year old neutered male shih tzu/poodle mix who weighs 10 pounds. He was surrendered to our care when he was no longer wanted. We cannot understand how some people just discard their animals, but he is safe now and so cute! He has tested great with other dogs, loves to be held and always has the cutest smile on his face. If you are interested in adopting, please submit an adoption application on our website www.justice-rescue.comJustice Rescue - 19198Kinzers, PA 17535

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.
