Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Fill out an Adoption Application Are you seeking the goodest boy? Look no further, as his name is Saint and he is up for adoption. Rescue workers brought Saint in after finding him sleeping as a stray on a bench outside a remote house. They contacted his former owner and learned that he had abandoned Saint. His foster family lives near where rescuers found him. The foster family would love to adopt him, unfortunately their other male does not like him. Saint loves laying on the couch next to his person while watching tv. He lets out his extra energy by playing with toys or zooming around the yard. He can play with other dogs, or he can entertain himself. Although friendly to all people and children, he forms attachments to individuals. He knows sit, stay, up, down, lay down, no, come, leave it, crate and much more. Once you have him do something once or twice, it becomes second nature to him. He will chase a cat, but if you “say leave” it or “no” before the chase happens, he will leave them alone. This dog has everything to offer the perfect family. He is an easy trainable dog. His only downside is not having any people to ensure the best for this goodest boy. The current foster loves to talk about him, so feel free to ask questions.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.

Story
In a sea of doodles and endless adoption posts, we hope just one family pauses long enough to notice a truly special girl who has been waiting far too long. Her name is Snow, and she is everything gentle, joyful, and loving wrapped up in a 40-pound terrier smile. Snow was found locally as a stray and brought to safety by the police, who asked us to help her find the home she deserves. From the moment she arrived, she became a volunteer favorite. She greets every day with a wagging tail, loves her walks, cherishes her cuddle time, and looks at her people with the kind of admiration that makes you feel like the luckiest person in the world. And yet, somehow, she keeps getting overlooked. Snow is two years old, endlessly friendly, and ready to be someone’s best friend for life. She would need to be your only dog (toy possessive) and cannot live with cats, but her heart is wide open and eager to belong to a family who chooses her. She is spayed, vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, and 4dx tested. Her adoption fee is generously sponsored. If you are serious about adoption, the first step is to fill out our application at www.phoenixanimalrescue.com. Please help us give Snow the chance she has been waiting for. One family is all it takes. Phoenix Animal Rescue Chester Springs, PA 19425 Kennel License #5152

Story
hi Raven! This love is a 3 1/2 year old Pittie. She came to us after her family could no longer keep her and her original rescue was not reclaiming her. Raven is a great dog that seems to have been just overwhelmed in her busy home and she began to guard mom + kids from dad. In our care, she has been shy but sweet and we haven't had issues with handling. We believe she would prefer a less hectic home with maybe just one owner. She has lived with both cats and dogs in her prior home. Her owner reported her to be house trained. Even though she lived with kids, we think she would do better in a home without any so at this time she is looking for an adult only home. She would need to meet any resident dogs. She will come spayed, vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped and 4dx tested. **If you are serious about adoption, please start by filling out the adoption application on our website www.phoenixanimalrescue.com Her adoption fee is fully sponsored** Phoenix Animal Rescue Chester Springs, PA 19425 Kennel License #5152

**A HUGE THANK YOU TO AJ SCHUMACHER FOR PARTIALLY SPONSORING VIOLA`S ADOPTION FEE**Hello, my name is: ViolaApprox. DOB: 12/03/2020Sex/Breed: Spayed female Pittie Princess Weight: 66.2 lbsRescued From: ACCT in PhiladelphiaFound as a stray, Viola ended up at a local shelter. Due to lack of space, her time at the shelter was limited. She`s been safe with us in foster and has blossomed into an amazing dog! Viola has been nothing but sweet despite everything she’s been through. She is curious, affectionate, and a lover of the simple things. She enjoys playing with all types of toys and snuggling with her people. Viola gets along with other dogs that have her playstyle and loves every person she meets. She`ll need a home without kitties, though. Viola keeps her foster family laughing every day with her silliness. She loves trying new foods, rolling around in the grass, and bounding around the house with glee. She is house trained, crate trained, and knows some basic commands. In a pittie-loving home, we have no doubt she’ll flourish and become the loved and gracious companion she deserves to be. We don’t know anything about Viola’s past, but we have no doubt she deserved more. We have promised her nothing but the best from here on out. Who is willing to open their hearts to this gorgeous girl? You will not regret it! All our pets are microchipped, spayed/neutered, and up to date on vaccinations and preventatives.Interested in adopting?
