Story
Hadyn is a 1 year old female. She is spayed and up to date on vaccines! She could potentially live with a dog pending visit but cannot live with children or cats. Perhaps something from her past has made her uncomfortable with children but she does not like them. She has a very low threshold so she becomes overstimulated very easily. She could use some help managing her reactions. If you are comfortable with helping a pup become comfortable with herself, feel free to inquire!

Hi there, I'm Tinker! I am a little over one year old and came to the shelter as a stray. I am a big ball of energy! I love toys and just want someone to play with me! I'm a sweet girl that loves everyone. I just need some help controlling my excitement. I am not fond of cats or other dogs. I also cannot live with children as I am too high energy and my excitement does make me jumpy. Interested in a new lifetime playmate? Maybe someone to run with? I am your girl! Fill out an application and ask staff about me today!

Story
Weezy is 8 years old, spayed and fully vaccinated. She came to us heavily pregnant. Her pups have since been adopted but now it is her turn. Since having the puppies, she has been a medical case for us and that is why it has taken so long for her to be available for adoption. She has been with us since April 2023. We now feel that she is on the right path to go home. She cannot live with other animals but is very human friendly and could live with kids. She craves affection and loves playing with toys. She was just switched to a special diet food and it does cost a pretty penny per bag. We know this is a lot to ask when taking on a new dog but Weezy did not ask for this. We are going to do what is necessary to provide her with a healthy life.

Story
Louise was found running Altoona as a stray and like so many others her family never came to get her. She is an extremely sweet girl around 2 years old. She does show some food possession. She would be able to live in a home with cat friends, but not canine friends. If you are interested in her ask staff about her today or submit an application!

Story
Hello big world! My name is Rambo! I was found running the streets of Altoona and am now looking for my forever home! I am an extremely sweet boy who LOVES playtime! My butt never stops wagging when around my favorite people! I will not be able to live in a home with cats and I am very selective of my doggy friends. I am a stronger boy and can be a bit stubborn so children in the home need to be aware of that. I also seem to have a preference for woman. I have been fearful around men and older boys so I need a lot of encouragement to warm up to them. Visits with me should be scheduled in advance. I am a good boy with a couple quirks, but that just makes me extra special! If think you have the perfect situation for me to go home to fill out an application for me today!

Story
Hey there! My name is Scout! I am a very happy lady at around 4 years old. Your probably noticed my fur looks a bit weird. That's because I have some food allergies. After some tests, we found out that I am allergic to some food ingredients. This means I now have a specialized diet! My fur is finally growing back! I am a playful lady who would love nothing more than people to play with and give me all the attention I deserve! I am dog selective as I can be a bit too wild for some laid back dogs. I will need to be fed separately from other dogs as my food is valuable to me. This works perfectly fine though because I will only be able to eat things on my special diet. I will not be able to live with cats. Kids in the home should be older as I would knock over small children with my excitement! I've had a rough life up to this point. So do not keep me waiting!

Story
This beautiful little girl is Laura. She came to us as a stray so we don't know very much about her, but what we do know is she is an absolute love bug! She loves to snuggle up with you and soak up all the attention she can. She is a little shy at first, but with a little patience and yummy treats she comes right around. She loves to play with squeaker toys, and getting all the belly rubs she possibly can. She will need help with all of her basic training skills and a little bit of leash training. If you'd like to help this wonderul pup find her furrever home please feel free to apply for her at www.clearfieldcountyspca.org.

These pups are in Altoona, Pennsylvania too!

Story
This is Humphrey Jr. Dogs like Humphrey Jr. are the reason the shelter is always full and unfortunately sit here waiting for a long time (over 6 months, maybe over a year.) However, we will try to find someone who is willing to put in the work to have a harder to place dog. They all deserve a home! So, Humphrey was a stray. Not claimed by his owner. He's a younger Pitbull mix, about 9 months or so. He is hyper and needs training. He will take a few visits to warm up to you. The staff he knows and trusts, are easily able to handle him. Some even cuddled with him on the floor. He can't live with dogs, cats, or kids. This makes it extremely difficult to find a home due to most people having multiple pets. If you are willing to put in the work and can meet his requirements, fill out an app. If not, please share his post. You might know someone who can!!PA Kennel License #1333
