Story
Meet the Cats of Gettysburg at the Kitty Corner by Forever Love Rescue Meet Molly, a Love-A-Bull gem  You would never guess that Molly is 13 years young. With a zest for life, the classic wiggly pittie butt, and a twinkle of wonder in her chocolate brown eyes, Molly paints the perfect picture of what a man’s best friend should be. With her unwavering loyalty to her people, and her subtly sweet ways of showing love when you need it most, Molly is guaranteed to be your perfect sidekick. Molly loves a good game of tug of war; and will play round after round if you “let her win.” She also has  a fondness for her stuffed animal “babies.” They are her prized possessions. She enjoys playing her favorite self led game of “how fast can I get to the squeaker in my squeaky toy”, always aiming to beat her prior best score. Molly would never turn down an offer to play a quick game of frisbee. She may be a senior pup, but is young at heart with a playful spirit  Molly is sweetly demeanored, has a gentleness with children, and has lived calmly with feline friends prior to coming to FLR. However, she has fear aggression with other dogs, and will need to be the only dog in her new household. Molly is a strong girl! She will pull hard on her leash when excitable.  A  private or fenced in yard is a requirement for her to safely exercise and get her zoomies out. An ideal home for Molly would be in a rural area where she can live worry free of canine neighbors, and enjoy all that country life has to offer her. Molly may have plenty of pep left in her step, but she is a world class cuddler once tuckered out. She would love nothing more than to curl up beside you in bed. Relaxing and being a couch potato along with her people is Molly’s favorite way to end the day. While Molly isn’t a fan of seeing other dogs on her adventures, she loves car rides! She would love to be your passenger princess on a ride through Apple country.  Molly takes treats gently, knows a few basic commands such as sit, and is eager to please.Her people mean the world to her; she does not like to be away from them for long. A family that is home often would be most suitable for her. Molly is currently residing in a local foster home, but meetings with her can be easily arranged. Let’s find this sweet rednosed beauty the perfect home that she so very much deserves.

Story
Steel arrived at the shelter as a fearful stray, but with time, patience, and kindness, he has truly blossomed into a fun-loving, affectionate companion. Once he trusts you, Steel’s favorite things in the world are cuddling close and giving enthusiastic kisses!This smart boy already knows how to sit and shake your hand, and his sharp mind means he’s primed to learn so much more. Steel’s absolute favorite toy is a ball—toss it, and he transforms into a joyful, goofy pup in seconds. Because he can still be fearful and has a rough play style, Steel would do best in a home without young children. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving dog with tons of potential and an even bigger heart, Steel is ready to meet his person.If you are interested in meeting Steel, please visit the shelter during our open hours; Mon, Tues, Wed, Fri 10a-12:30p & 2p-4p, Thurs 10a-12:30p & 2p-6:30p, and Saturday 9a-1p.
