Story
I'm Dakota, a charming Doodle mix with a heart as big as my curly coat. At almost 2 years old, I've already mastered the art of being the perfect companion, and I'm ready to find my forever home with someone who will appreciate my loving nature and playful spirit.Life with me is like having a perpetual ray of sunshine in your home. Whether it's greeting you with a wagging tail and a big, sloppy kiss when you walk through the door or curling up on your lap during movie night, I'm always eager to shower you with love and affection.As a Doodle mix, I'm not just a pretty face - I've got brains to match! I'm a quick learner with a knack for picking up new tricks and commands, and I thrive on mental stimulation and interactive play. Whether it's mastering a new game of fetch or showing off my latest trick, I'm always up for a challenge.Now, I'll admit, I can't live with kids. While I'm friendly and gentle by nature, I did spend the last 2 years living with an autistic child who wasn't very nice to me. My mom tried to teach my human brother that it wasn't ok to hit me like he did but sadly he didn't listen. Last Saturday I had finally had enough and I admit I did bite him in the arm. After my mom took him to the doctor's office, the doctor recommended that mom re-home me. Once I arrived at the Adams County SPCA and got out of the situation I was in, I have been nothing but loving! I haven't even tired to bite anyone. I was also VERY matted and needed to be shaved down but my hair will grow back soon! On top of all of that I had 2 ear infections that made my ears hurt but now that I am on medication I am feeling SO much better! So what do you say? Are you ready to welcome a loving and loyal Doodle mix into your home? If you're looking for a furry friend who's equal parts affectionate and playful, then I am here, ready to fill your days with love, laughter, and endless cuddles. I know I have a bite history but it really wasn't my fault, I had to defend myself.

Story
Figgy aka Figs is a calm, laid back boy who is content with sitting in your lap, laying in bed with you, laying beside you...in other words, being your best friend! He prefers to have you in his sight at all times. Figs is on a strict diet of prescription food (he's a little too fluffy) and his snacks are green beans and English peas. His ideal home would include a fenced in yard where he can meander around the yard at his leisure. The only time he gets in a hurry is when it's mealtime. He loves to bark at squirrels, leaves falling off the trees, bugs, just anything that catches his attention. An apartment would not be ideal for him since he can be quite vocal If you would like to add Figgy to your family, please go to goofyfootrescue.org and fill out an application.

Story
We got Gizmo from a pet store in PA. He was just the cutest and had to have him. He will be 1 years old on May the 3rd. I believe Giz needs to be around someone whose home and or children. He's a very active little pup, who enjoys car rides, long walks, and playing with his toys. Let's not forget he loves to nap.

Story
NAME: Zep BREED: Shih Tzu BIRTHDAY: 2014 WEIGHT: 13lbs ADOPTION FEE: $350   This sweet and happy little fellow was found as a stray in Philly. He was in rough shape- matted all over with a mouth full of mushy teeth, and was understandably nervous in the shelter. However, it didn't take him long to settle in here at GOT, exploring the yard and soliciting head scratches from his foster mom. We got his teeth fixed up and his face trimmed nicely, and now Zep is ready for a family of his own! &#226&#128&#139 Zep gets along well with other animals, and is happy to meet new people. He does well with house training as long as he's given consistent breaks and the weather is nice. He is happy to go for walks or rides in the car, and is quiet and polite in the house. Zep does have some pain in his legs and will need to be on medications for life, but his "swimmy" little gait just gives him more character, and he loves taking his pills. Overall he's just a good boy! Because of his age and size, we are looking for a home for Zep without young children, but young visitors should be just fine as long as they are gentle and polite. Please consider giving Zep the forever home he deserves! March 11, 2024, 12:31 pm
