Story
Through no fault of his own this precious bean, Mr. Moo, is looking for a new home. He is a 3 year old pit mix (35lbs) who has lived with a cat and is good with older kids (8+). He is up to date on vaccinations, neutered, and has completed a formal basic puppy training course. Mr. Moo would do best in a single dog home. To clarify, he is not unfriendly with dogs, he just does not exactly know the best ways to socialize. Mr. Moo is crate trained and house trained. Leash walk or fenced yard required. He is a medium energy boy, who enjoys active play but also likes to cuddle on the couch. He will hang out in whatever room has people in it. During home alone times he should be crated or limited to a room with lots of dog friendly toys for positive entertainment. Mr. Moo is overall a lovable goof ball who lives simply for pets, cuddles, and play. His favorite things are any length of walks, puppy massages, and cuddling while watching animal documentaries.

Story
We adopted Pinto (formerly Stanley) from the Brandywine Valley SPCA in 2022. He was born on 08/02/2022. He is a mixed breed, mostly white dog who is deaf. He loves to play, chew on sticks, and be outdoors. He gets along well with our other dog. He does not seem bothered by cats but ours do not do well with him. He does well walking on a leash and enjoys going for long walks at parks. He does have a microchip and has been neutered. He has not had any shots or been to a vet since 2022. He eats dry food and enjoys chewing on bones. He has not had any training by us. Pinto is a very sweet dog who needs a space to run and play. He loves attention. We will provide new owner with any paperwork we have on him as well as any supplies/food we have. NOTE: we are taking him to get his shots updated on 5/11/25.

Story
Meet Esmerelda!Esmerelda is a tiny little pit-bull that loves to be loved! Es is very sweet, loves to chew on toys, and doesn't really bark a lot. She's a very happy girl that loves to chew up her toys, so if you give her a stuffy then expect her to tear it apart! She is housetrained, knows how to use a dog door, and knows basic commands such as "sit" and "paw". Esmerelda also is good with children that are over the age of 4.Esmerelda recently joined one of our play groups and we were able to figure out that she is selective with dogs. Esmerelda loves to walk and is amazing on a leash. She also will jog with you!.
