Meet Destiny – A Gentle Soul with a Sweet Side Destiny arrived with Benji, her longtime companion, after leaving the only home they’d ever known. While they don’t need to be adopted together, Destiny is ready to start a new chapter with someone who’ll appreciate her calm, loving nature. She’s a mellow, affectionate girl who enjoys a good walk just as much as a long nap on the couch. Destiny is food-motivated and responsive to gentle guidance, making her a great match for someone patient and dog-savvy. She’s still brushing up on leash skills and will need time to settle into her new routine. What to Know About Destiny: 🐾 Enjoys walks but also loves to lounge 🍖 Food is the way to her heart 🧠 Best suited for an experienced household 🧹 High shedding — regular grooming needed 💛 Multiple visits required to build trust Destiny has a soft, steady presence and so much love to give. If you're looking for a loyal companion with a gentle spirit, she might be the one. 📍The Center for Animal Health and Welfare PA Kennel License #02941 1165 Island Park Rd, Easton, PA 18042

Story
He may be called Teddy, but he’s no plushie! Four-year-old Akita Teddy is a sweet, handsome boy who gets along wonderfully with both dogs and cats! He’s social with the ladies, and while he can be a bit unsure around men at first, he warms up with patience and kindness. True to his Akita roots, Teddy’s protective instincts run deep — he loves hard and wants nothing more than for his family to feel safe and happy. Teddy is house-trained, neutered, and ready to find his forever home! Because Akitas are a nuanced breed with unique traits and needs, we’d love to see Teddy with a family experienced in the breed and ready to appreciate all the special things that make him who he is. Meet Teddy at AHS Newark, NJ animal shelter ahscares.org/adopt Teddy ID# 38446

Story
💙 Name: Hodol 💙 Gender: Male 💙 Age: Estimated 3 months old (born in August 2025) 💙 Weight: 3.2 kg / 7 kg 💙 Adogs Center Updates: @_adogs_ 1⃣ Health Condition * Neuter: Incomplete. * Others: Microchipped, being treated for canine coronavirus and giardiasis. 2⃣ Rescue Story * Hodol was living at the Gimje City Shelter. He was waiting at the shelter with a smile on his face despite the weather getting colder, but no one stepped up to adopt him. The shelter had poor conditions, with infectious diseases spreading and poor heating, so Adogs urgently rescued him. 3⃣ Basic Information ❗️As a puppy, he may need training in areas such as separation anxiety, potty habits, biting, nipping, whining, disorderly behaviors, howling and barking. ❗️It is difficult to predict his shedding and growth size because his parents are unknown. * With People: Is a little shy but is docile and stays in your arms when picked up. Once he becomes familiar with someone, he wags his tail like a helicopter and runs around happily just seeing them come near. * With Dogs: Plays well with the other dogs at our center. * With Cats: Hasn’t met cats yet. * Separation Anxiety: Unknown, since he’s living in a group setting at our center. Will need training from scratch. * Potty Training: Does fairly well with potty pads. May need to be re-trained in a new environment. * Walks: Hasn’t been on walks since his vaccinations aren’t complete. * Car Sickness: Didn’t show signs of car sickness on short-distance rides. * Biting: Has not bitten. However, he may nibble or chew since he’s still a teething puppy. * Barking: Sometimes whines a bit if he seems someone outside his kennel. * Likes: Has a great appetite and loves food. * Dislikes: Although he is docile when picked up, he seems a bit uncomfortable with it since he yawns (a sign that a dog isn’t comfortable).
