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.

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. My priority is finding a safe, loving, and forever home where she'll receive the time, attention, and care she deserves. Serious inquiries only. $750 or Best Offer. I am willing to negotiate but the priority is to get Layyah a new home with a loving and caring family.

Female

(when grown) -
Details
Spayed or Neutered,
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

Details
Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
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
Coco is an energetic, expressive, and sassy dog who loves to go on walks. She loves to sit up on the couch and sunbath outside. She is highly intelligent and needs as much mental stimulation as physical stimulation. She would do best in a fenced yard to play in. She loves having her hair brushed and is used to grooming. She has recently gotten her rabies and DA2PPV vaccines for this year and is well behaved at the vet/clinic.

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.
