Story
Boo has had a lot of stressful and confusing transition in her short life. She was surrendered to our rescue after her owner was diagnosed with a serious illness. She had only been with her for a few months and previously in her original home from what we have been told she lived with other dogs in both of these homes. Due to the urgency of her situation we placed her into a foster to adopt home. This unfortunately did not work out due to an incident with the other dog in the house. She has been tested with other dogs and cats and with structure and boundaries would be ready for a new dog friend. She currently lives with a cat. We are working on some separation anxiety that developed due to her being bounced around so much. She is doing really well and loves her foster mom. Boo loves to go for walks and likes to snuggle. She is very intelligent and wants to please you. Home visit and adoption donation required. Boo is @ 1.5 yrs old.

Story
Khan is a very handsome young pit bull looking for an active/structured house. Having been abandoned at the shelter, we don't know any specifics about his background. We do know that he LOVES humans and craves attention! Khan is extremely energetic and very strong. When we first met him he had absolutely no manners. He can get overstimulated and will jump or nip to get your attention. He has completed Intro-to-Training class twice and walks with a Gentle Leader and a chest harness. He will benefit greatly from continued consistency with his training and commands. He is very smart, and he shows that he can absolutely be a Good Dog with consistent handling (and the right yummy incentives). After more than a year here at the shelter, he is much calmer and better able to process his surroundings. His loves are car rides, walks, swimming, and PEOPLE! At 65-70 lbs his strength can be a challenge. His jump has a 5-6 foot clearance from standing! Khan has not shown any signs of aggression toward other dogs but he does forget his manners in an effort to play with them. We have not specifically cat-tested Khan, but he has been in our lobby where he can see cats and he is very interested in them. We suspect that he would chase anything smaller than himself.

Story
Playing is my favorite activity! My foster mom says I am a fetch champion! I also like to chill on the couch and chew on a stuffy or go for a car ride! I am a healthy girl who is up to date on my vaccines and am spayed. I would do best being the only pet, but I have lived with kids. If you have questions, send my foster mom a message-jennyr1972@aol.com. She'd be happy to tell you all about me or even come meet me! You could even take me home for a couple of weeks on a trial. My foster mom will also give an adopter a really cool gift card to help get me set up with you. I also have my own Instagram account – check me out! (gracietheplayfulpup). I really want a furever family to love and play with me. I'm a really good, silly girl!

Story
Hello, my name is Oso! I was brought into the shelter for a chance at a better life, since my previous home left me malnourished and neglected. I am gaining back my strength and condition, but I have been resilient and have not lost all trust in people. I have been living in a foster home because kennel life is very stressful for me. I am dog and cat friendly, so I would be happy to live with other animals. I have gotten much healthier and happier so now I can't wait to find my furever home! I do need some work on crate training, but old dogs can still learn new tricks! I have historically shown some over-arousal behavior and do have some handling sensitivity, so any kids in the home should be 13 and older. Although I am a mature gentleman I love to play and have plenty of spunk. I deserve a comfortable home and to never feel alone or hungry again. Would you like to adopt me? ---This dog is in foster care and is available BY APPOINTMENT ONLY. Please fill out an application to schedule an appointment. Find the application here: https://www.pspca.org/form/adoption-application-lancaster or stop by in person to fill them out. If you have resident dogs, we require up to date vaccine records for them as well.---The Pennsylvania SPCA - Lancaster Center848 S.

Story
My name is Betty. I'm a sweet older girl looking for my forever home. I can be a little nervous at first but as I warm up I am sweet and affectionate. I love the company of my people friends and love to be close by. I am not a fan of other dogs and would prefer to be the only dog in the home. I have not been around cats before but may be open to trying. Do you have room for an old girl to rest and enjoy her golden years? If you think your home is right for me then come down and lets meet.---If you are interested in adopting, please come prepared --bring a photo ID, proof of address, and everyone in the home including resident dogs with vaccination history. We are open daily 12-6pm. ---The Pennsylvania SPCA - Lancaster Center848 S. Prince St. Lancaster PA 17603Kennel #16516717-917-6979lancaster@pspca.org
