Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.(YOU MUST BE WITHIN A TWO HOUR DRIVE OF GRANTVILLE PA TO BE CONSIDERED FOR AN ADOPTER.)Posted 1/8/25 Geo could not be cared for by his previous owner.  He is 15 months old and a bundle of energy.  He is quite a lover and gets along well with dogs and I believe cats altho can be a bit of a pest.  He has been housetrained (here).  I think he loves having another dog to play with and it keeps him social.  He travels well and is crate trained but sometimes can be vocal so no apartment living for him.  Because of his energy we are requesting a fenced yard. He does require grooming every 6-8 weeks.  His adoption fee is $350. The dogs are Spayed or Neutered, Heartworm/Lyme tested, UTD on vaccines, microchipped, dewormed, treated for fleas and overall Vet checked. We offer a 30 day money back guarantee along with an adoption kit . Application REQUIRED. Adoption fee required. If interested contact Denise @ (717) 469-7325 Email: Doggieden@aol.com The FIRST STEP to be considered for adopting a pet is to fill out the adoption application COMPLETELY . OR  thedogsden.rescuegroups.org Click on Adoption at left margin of pageVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.February 5, 2025, 10:38 pm

Chow Chow. I’m a one year old Shih tzu mix. I am looking to start my new life. My foster mom says I’m a great girl, very smart. I listen great, housebroken 💯, am great in my crate. Im currently staying with other dogs, cats and I get along with everyone. I love all people including the little ones. I love to go for walks, play outside and be apart of everything the family is doing. I can’t stop wagging my tail because I’m always happy. I heard my foster mom say I’m a special gem. ADOPTION PROCESS 1. Review our adoption contract and application. 2. Call your vet and references to inform them that a rescue representative will be calling. 3. Complete adoption application and submit following appropriate link below: Dog/Puppy: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/HRMD/Dog Cat/kitten: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/HRMD/Cat It takes us about 1-3 days to process applications. Once approved, we ask that all members of the household (including dogs) be available for meeting the animal within 5 days.

Story
I have two dogs that we unfortunately have to rehome, me and my girlfriend are finally moving in together. I have a bigger Pitbull that cannot be around them. My dog acts funny around other dogs sometimes and its just not a chance that we are willing to take. Especially since we are gone during the day, at work. They are brothers and I dont want to see them taken apart from each other. I just want them to go to a good home where they can receive the love and care they deserve.
