Story
Meet Gracie Gracie is a big “little” puppy at heart and the ultimate cozy companion. Her favorite place in the world is snuggled under a blanket—but since she can’t burrow under covers herself, she’s looking for a human who’s happy to tuck her in for naps and especially at bedtime. She knows exactly what “bedtime” and “time for bed” mean and will happily follow you to bed, where she sleeps right by your side. Gracie is a gentle clinger in the best way—she’ll follow you from room to room to keep you company while still respecting your space. Her favorite words are “dinner” and “breakfast,” and she comes running when she hears them. She’s also a big fan of bananas (she always gets the last bite!) and cheese—so fair warning, she expects you not to be stingy. She enjoys going for walks but prefers her space from other dogs, so leash walks with distance are best for her. At home, Gracie is wonderfully quiet and low-energy. She doesn’t bark; instead, she may let out a tiny grunt when she’s excited. She’s a true couch potato who sleeps most of the day and is incredibly easy to care for. Gracie is very polite about bathroom time. She won’t bark to alert you—she simply sits quietly by the back door when she needs to go out, so paying attention to her subtle cues is important. After potty breaks, she expects her reward (she’s trained her human well), and she does the cutest little happy dance when she knows a treat is coming. One of Gracie’s most endearing quirks? She “sings” along (adorably whining) when she hears guitar music. It’s impossible not to smile. She is crate-trained and happily goes into her crate when her person leaves—especially since she always gets a treat first. Gracie does best in a large crate where she has plenty of room to stretch out and get comfortable. Gracie is a loving, loyal, and easygoing companion who has been deeply loved and spoiled. Due to a change in her person’s situation, they can no longer care for her, but they hope her next family will continue to spoil her just as much.January 23, 2026, 10:29 am

Story
ADOPTION FEE SPONSORED BY DEDICATED SUPPORTER   Meet Tobias: 70 pounds of pure enthusiasm  Tobias is a 2-year-old big-headed goofball whose brain is mostly made of static, snacks, and love. He may not be winning any academic awards, but what he lacks in brain cells he more than makes up for in affection, wiggles, and wholehearted devotion to his people. This big dumb-dumb is looking for an energetic family who can keep up with his zest for life and doesn’t mind a little chaos mixed with a lot of laughs. Tobias would do best with older kids who can handle his size and enthusiasm—because at 70 pounds, his love sometimes comes at full speed.January 28, 2026, 11:35 am

Story
URGENT PLEA FOR CAMINA Sweet Camina has been through so much, and now she needs your help more than ever. Camina is just over 6 years old, housebroken, and full of love to give — but she’s struggling deeply in the shelter environment. She spent over a year with a dedicated foster family who cared for her knowing that the kennel was far too stressful for her. But what was supposed to be a short-term stay became long-term, and despite their love, they could no longer keep her. Now, Camina is back in the shelter surrounded by other animals, which is heartbreaking for a dog like her. You see, Camina needs to be the only pet in the home — she doesn't do well with other animals. But with people? She’s a total sweetheart. Loyal. Gentle. Loving. Everything you'd want in a best friend. She doesn’t deserve to spend another day in a place that makes her this anxious. Camina knows what it’s like to be part of a home — and she’s desperate to feel that again. If you or someone you know can open their heart and home to a dog who will be endlessly grateful, please consider giving Camina a second chance. Please email Sabrina@faithfulfriends.us i you are interested in meeting her. April 23, 2025, 3:14 pm

Story
Meet Ricky Bobby (affectionately — and very appropriately — nicknamed Eeyore) At 10 years old, Ricky Bobby has perfected the art of slow strolls, soulful looks, and loving everyone he meets. This sweet senior LOVES people, like, lean-into-you, soak-up-the-love kind of loves. He's not asking for much… just a comfy couch, a soft place to lay his head, and some humans who don't mind sharing their space (and their hearts). &#239&#184&#143 If you're looking for a calm, gentle companion who will happily keep you company and remind you to slow down and enjoy the moment, Ricky Bobby is your guy. Come meet this lovable Eeyore and see if your couch might be the one he's been waiting for.January 15, 2026, 9:27 am

Story
ADOPTION FEE SPONSORED BY DEDICATED SUPPORTERS Meet RockyDude — a 4-year-old, 80-pound bundle of charm who’s been waiting far too long to find his forever family. RockyDude came to Faithful Friends Animal Society in August 2024 after an incredible team of rescuers worked together to bring him to safety. Our friends at ACCT Philly were overwhelmed with dogs, but they knew RockyDude was special and fought to give him a second chance. He was even held past his “timestamp” until he could safely make the trip to Delaware — just as the state lifted the ban on out-of-state transports. Talk about perfect timing! Since arriving, RockyDude has been a staff favorite. He’s smart, affectionate, and full of playful energy. He’s great with both dogs and cats. He knows “sit” and “down,” and he’ll happily trade his toys for treats. He’s obsessed with tennis balls and squeaky toys — they’re his absolute favorites! While he’s grateful to be safe, RockyDude’s biggest wish is to finally go home. He’s been waiting since August '24, hoping the family who’s meant for him will walk through our doors and make his happily ever after come true. Could that be you? Come meet RockyDude and see why everyone who meets him falls in love.  January 20, 2026, 9:26 am
