Story
Hi everyone, I would like to start off by saying that I am posting this for my mother who is relocating from Georgia back to Pennsylvania. She can no longer keep patty cakes is very sad about giving her up. She is in need of immediate rehoming! We adopted Patty Cake when she was 3 years old and have had her for the last 4 years. We like to call her Patricia sometimes. Patty loves people I haven’t met a single person she hasn’t gotten along with. Unfortunately she is not very animal friendly. She would do well in a home with no other animals. She’s lived in a townhouse for years, but we would like to see her go to a home with a yard if possible. We don’t have any family members who can take her, since everyone already has their own pets. Please help us find Patty a new forever home.

Story
Nala is a stunning 10 year old petite pittie mix. Even though she's getting older she is full of energy ! A family that can be very active with her and take her out on walks/hikes/runs as well as someone who has a fenced in yard would give her the opportunity to fully flourish. She is defenitly a people dog and loves to be with her human/ humans. She'll even love to go on car rides with her new family. She is an extreme attention hog and would be best suited for a home where she could receive all the attention and not have to share,as she can also be pretty selective with other animals. She currently resides in a home with 2 small children and does well with them, however she does get super excited at times and forgets that she needs to be careful around them so she doesn't knock them over. She is leash trained and needs to be crated when home alone but doesn't love to be in her crate for long periods of time. She is currently taking something to help her deal with her separation anxiety and her new home would need to be ok with administering her 1 pill a day. A family that can be home with her quite often would be a good fit for her. If you're looking for a lifetime companion that will stay by your side, then Nala might be the one for you !

Story
Calling all Pitty lovers! Synclair the roughly 1.5 year old, 45lb male Pitbull is up for adoption! He is blind but don't, "pity him it doesn't hold him back one bit. Hello everyone, my name is Synclair! I was an owner surrender for no fault of my own; my family just couldn't keep me and had been very sad to let me go. They tell me I'm blind, but honesty I don't think I am at a disadvantage. Loud household noises don't frighten me at all, and I am a smart pup who can learn the layout of my environment quickly. I do best with a routine, it helps me know what to expect and curb some slight anxiety. I'm a sweet gentle boy who absolutely loves everyone. My favorite things include snuggling, playing with my toys, and getting treaties. I Would love another pup in my forever home, someone to play, snuggle and romp around with when my humans are busy, so I don't get lonely. I walk okay on the leash with some guidance from my foster mom, and I have mastered getting up and down stairs! I am also quite skilled at getting up into the car for rides around town. Still working on my relationship with my crate, I have been doing really well sleeping in my crate at night now. I do cry out when my foster family leaves me in the crate to go out on the town without me, however I settle down eventually. I ring a bell that my foster family has set up for me by the door when I want to go outside; this has helped me well in eliminating my accidents. However, they tell me regression is common in new environments. My foster mom says I am a smart boy and will catch on quick in my new home with a routine. Still working on some manners, I am still a big puppy, and little cheeky. My foster mom has a full house with lots of noise so when I get caught doing something I shouldn't, I'm very easily redirected. My foster family includes two small children, and other than occasionally bumping into them when they are too quiet (which is not often), we get along great! I really love to chow down on my dog food, a puzzle feeder would be best, so I take my time and not eat too fast. I Would be okay with a dog friendly cat that didn't mind me sniffing and being all up in their space. I do love to play but I am only mildly energetic, mostly I am calm cool and collected. I will get excited when you come home after being away, but what dog who loves you wouldn't? I have been Microchipped, neutered, vetted, and up to date on vaccines. My foster mom says I'm truly a sweet and special dog that will make one lucky family happy. If I sound like a good fit for you, please apply! Currently being fostered in Reading PA.

Story
Meet mama Tofu! This sweet mama was brought into an overcrowded shelter partner very close to giving birth. In fact, she gave birth less than 48 hrs after being in our care! She gave birth to 9 beautiful babies who have moved on to their forever families and now it is mama's turn! She has some old battle scars on her face from an unknown past, but she won't be getting any more of those. She is the sweetest girl. She loves to cuddle and nap and snore on the couch, but also gets the zoomies every once in a while! They don't last long, though. Tofu prefers to be the only animal in the home. While she has done well around some male dogs she prefers her own space. Tofu has been around people and children and has done well. However in her forever home she would prefer her own space and would prefer an adult only home. She requires a fenced in yard. Tofu is up to date on vaccines, spayed, and microchipped Zoes House Kennel #9117 Sinking Spring, PA 19608

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
