Story
Hazel has been in foster for over 2 YEARS — that’s nearly 900 days with no interest, no family, no forever home. How is this sweet girl STILL waiting? 💔 🐾 Meet Hazel ✨ 3-year-old Pit Bull mix ✨ Spirited, smart, and full of love ✨ Treat lover & quick learner (knows sit, paw, and wait!) Hazel’s story isn’t an easy one. Originally surrendered under false pretenses, it was later discovered she was kept in a small kennel and used for breeding at just ONE year old. 😔 Despite everything, Hazel’s resilience shines. She’s thriving in her foster home with two canine friends who have helped her grow and trust again. She was once adopted, but her protective instincts and boundless energy were misunderstood. She’s now patiently waiting for strong, supportive adopters who will continue her training and give her the structured, loving home she truly deserves. 💛 🚫 Hazel’s Ideal Home: ❌ No children ❌ No small animals (high prey drive) ✅ Experienced, patient owners ✅ Commitment to ongoing training Hazel is loyal, affectionate, and ready to give her whole heart to someone who truly sees her. Please don’t let her wait another day. 💔 She’s more than ready to start her forever.

Meet Lexi 🐾 Female | 6 Weeks | 8.5 lbs | Pit Mix (possibly) Lexi’s story started in a gas station parking lot, where she and her nine siblings were being given away at just four weeks old. One was even handed to a 7-year-old girl — thankfully, her mom knew exactly who to call for help. Now safe and thriving, Lexi is showing her true personality. She’s confident, sassy, and never backs down — no matter the size of her playmates. She loves her food, adores her toys, and is starting to discover how much fun the great outdoors can be.

Story
Meet Elf (aka Buddy the Elf). Just like his namesake, Elf is pure joy wrapped up in a 9-month-old Pit Bull Terrier body. Weighing around 40 lbs, this happy guy is an absolute love bug who believes everyone he meets is on the Nice List. Elf is incredible with kids of all ages and is wonderfully gentle with babies. He’s very active and loves playing with balls, going on walks, and following his humans from room to room like a cheerful shadow. He understands basic commands, is highly food motivated, and is making great progress when it comes to being left alone. Like many enthusiastic puppies, he has a weakness for shredding plush toys and dog beds, so sturdy toys are his jam. Elf is open to meeting other dogs, but he cannot live with cats—not out of aggression, just an unstoppable urge to chase (Santa says no). If you’re looking for a joyful, affectionate, kid-loving companion who brings big Buddy-the-Elf energy into your home, Elf is ready to spread cheer all year long. Apply at lvpeaceablekingdom.info! Peaceable Kingdom, PA Kennel License #04131, 1049 MacArthur Rd., Whitehall, PA 18052.
