Story

EMERGENCY FOSTER NEEDED — Bentley Needs Peace, Not Another Goodbye Foster to adopt is always an option Bentley’s whole world was torn apart when he lost his human unexpectedly. One moment he had his person, his routine, his safety — and the next, everything he knew was gone. He was surrendered to us not because he wasn’t loved, but because there was no one left who could keep him. Bentley is a 10-12 year-young, 26-lb sweetheart with the soul of a grumpy old man and the heart of the biggest snuggle bug you’ll ever meet. He lounges like a pro, snores like a freight train, and insists on having some part of his body touching his human at all times. That’s where he feels safe. He is completely potty trained, walks nicely on a leash, loves being outdoors, and gets along beautifully with dogs, cats, kids, and even chickens (yes, really!). Bentley has some vision loss, but he compensates incredibly well — he does stairs, navigates confidently, and just needs a little patience and consistency. He does require daily eye medication, and he’ll need someone willing to help him with that simple routine. Bentley has separation anxiety — understandable after losing the person he loved most — and he truly needs a quiet, calm home with someone who can spend a lot of time with him. A single person or couple would be ideal. He does not like being crated and needs to sleep in the same space as his human at night to feel secure. Because of his eye issues, a home without small children is best. Bentley’s dream foster home:• Quiet, peaceful environment• Someone home often• Couch time, gentle routines, and lots of reassurance• A heart willing to help him feel safe again Bentley doesn’t need perfection.He needs peace.He needs stability.He needs someone who won’t leave. If you can open your home — even temporarily — and be Bentley’s calm place while he heals, please step forward. Being his emergency foster could change his life and help him believe in love again. He's being temporary fostered in Nazareth, PAhttps://peytonsplaceanimalrescue.org/become-a-foster/ ##2613524##

Story

Meet Marley It breaks our hearts to be looking for a new home for Marley. He is truly an amazing dog and a wonderful companion. Marley is approximately 16 lbs and is a Shih Tzu mix. He gets along well with other dogs and would do best in a home without young children (older teens or adults only). He loves to lounge and be near his people, but when it’s time to play, he’s all in — especially when it comes to fetch and his toys. With a busy toddler in our home, Marley has become overstimulated, which has unfortunately led to two incidents. He is not a vicious or aggressive dog. He is currently in professional training, which has been very successful, but out of an abundance of caution and with our toddler’s safety in mind, we’ve made the incredibly difficult decision to find him a more suitable environment where he can truly thrive. If you have any questions or think Marley might be a good fit for your home, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
