Story
Meet the Cats of Gettysburg at the Kitty Corner by Forever Love Rescue Star is a 85 lb pitbull that is very loving and affectionate. All she wants is to be loved back.Star would do best in a home where she is the center of attention. Loves to play and lounge on your lap like a couch potato as often as possible. No personal space with this girl; yearns for attention. Her foster recommends older children due to her size (85 lbs) or seniors with bully breed experience.   *** a courtesy post means that this dog is NOT part of Forever love Rescue.   We are trying to help a fellow rescuer find a home for this dog.   We accept the adoption application and do some basic checks for them and then all communication will be handled by them afterward.   We do not attest to the information they provide or to the health / vet care of the cat.   Specific questions about this dog should be emailed to us at foreverloverescue@gmail.com so that we can forward it to the appropriate person.Meet the #CatsOfGettysburg - Apply to adopt at bit.ly/AdoptFLR and we will help you find the purr-fect kitty for your family!  Visit dozens of our adoptable cats and kittens at our Kitty Corner adoption center 39 Queen St in historic Gettysburg PA on any Saturday or Sunday from 11am-3pm.  All of the cats listed are located in or near Gettysburg unless otherwise noted.

Story
Meet the Cats of Gettysburg at the Kitty Corner by Forever Love Rescue Hailey is an extra large pitbull. She is very friendly and playful. She seeks love and attention. Hailey due to her size would not be good with young children or frail adults. She would be okay in a home with older, considerate children. She is 90 lbs. She loves to snuggle/sleep on couch with you, but does snore at times. She would do well with another dog w/proper introduction. Hailey is interested in cats but would chase them so no cats in her new home. *** a courtesy post means that this dog is NOT part of Forever love Rescue.   We are trying to help a fellow rescuer find a home for this dog.   We accept the adoption application and do some basic checks for them and then all communication will be handled by them afterward.   We do not attest to the information they provide or to the health / vet care of the dog.   Specific questions about this dog should be emailed to us at foreverloverescue@gmail.com so that we can forward it to the appropriate person.  Meet the #CatsOfGettysburg - Apply to adopt at bit.ly/AdoptFLR and we will help you find the purr-fect kitty for your family!  Visit dozens of our adoptable cats and kittens at our Kitty Corner adoption center 39 Queen St in historic Gettysburg PA on any Saturday or Sunday from 11am-3pm.  All of the cats listed are located in or near Gettysburg unless otherwise noted.

Story
Meet the Cats of Gettysburg at the Kitty Corner by Forever Love Rescue Meet Angel! Could she be your one and only??? This sweet 3 year old pittie girl almost lives up to her name every minute as long as there's not another pet around. We aren't sure if she would be aggressive per-say but she does get extremely anxious around other dogs.  Small dogs and cats seem to be a no-go at all.  Due to these anxieties, we recommend a home with a fence where she can't see neighbors and roaming critters.  Because of her strength she would be safer in a home without young kids that she could knock down.  We would love to find her a home where she can shine! She is a total couch potato most of the day.  She does love her toys and her babies (stuffed animals) and will play with them in the yard or the house whenever the mood strikes. She loves to go on car rides and on quiet walks. She has no problem hanging out at the office all day and greeting random visitors. And she is the best snuggler at night! We keep saying that she would make an awesome companion for a truck driver!!! She loves food, treats and toys. She does almost anything on command. She enjoys a quick trot through the privacy fenced yard but quickly comes back to follow her new temporary momma around while she does chores. She is content to be almost anywhere her people are but also behaves while they are away if she feels safe and cozy where she is. She also has no problem jumping into an open crate for a nap, so we think she is crate trained too. For more info please email foreverloverescue@gmail.com Let's find Angel the home she deserves!!!  Apply to adopt at https://foreverloverescue.com/dog-adoptionfoster-application/Meet the #CatsOfGettysburg - Apply to adopt at bit.ly/AdoptFLR and we will help you find the purr-fect kitty for your family!  Visit dozens of our adoptable cats and kittens at our Kitty Corner adoption center 39 Queen St in historic Gettysburg PA on any Saturday or Sunday from 11am-3pm.  All of the cats listed are located in or near Gettysburg unless otherwise noted.

Story
This is Athena. We got her from the SPCA close to my home. She was a 2 year old stray when she was brought in. Very dirty and skinny. We cleaned her up and fed her well. We spent many hours training her and she became an amazing family member and sister to our other pitty. Unfortunately she has incredibly high prey drive. Any small animal that she sees she wants to chase and attack. That includes my cats. We worked very hard to train her away from attacking small animals. She is on a training collar and responds perfectly to the beep. We don't use the vibrate or shock feature. . She needs to be in a household with no small pets or cats. Just to be safe. She is crate trained.

PLEASE SEE CONTACT INFO BELOW. Homer is a lovable, snuggly pit with a lot of energy still at 7 years old. He knows basic commands (sit, lay down, stay, come, shake), is used to leashed walks, and loves cuddling on the couch or bed with his humans. He also enjoys giving kisses, scratches behind his ear, belly rubs and playing with toys (although you’ll need indestructible toys haha). Homer is used to being home during the day while we go to work, and he doesn’t have any issues being left alone during the workday. He is up to date on shots and neutered. We can provide a dog bed, food, bowls, leash, etc.    Homer would need to be the only animal in the home (dog reactive most of the time after 10 minutes or so of meeting but can pass them on the street during walks unless they lunge at him), no cats (or would likely be fine with a cat that keeps to itself) and no kids due to resource guarding and a bite incident. The two bites were not large and required glue but not stitches and were related to resource guarding.    A potential adopter would need to have knowledge (or willingness to learn) of resource guarding and the capacity to properly manage it. However, Homer is a sweet dog 99% of the time but just needs an environment suitable to not trigger his resource guarding, which I believe he will thrive in. We have done training through K9 Koncepts, which is supposed to be open for the entirety of Homer’s life, so we could potentially transfer that over to the adopter for free, if interested and after contacting K9 Koncepts to make sure that is a possibility.If you are interested in adopting Homer, please contact:Erica.  email: Erica.cranford11@gmail.com  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 3, 2024, 5:02 pm
