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.

Story
Hi, I'm Prince! I am a big, goofy ball of energy and love. I was living in a hoarder's home, and now I am looking for my furever home where I can be the center of your heart. I have a lot to learn as far as basic commands and canine manners, but I am eager to please and very food motivated. I am open to living with other animals given proper introduction, although I can come on a bit strong. I am not a fan of sharing what's mine, so any kids in the home should be 13 and older, who can respect my boundaries. I could be a wonderful addition to your family if you'll give me a chance. I am a lovely pup who deserves a better life and companionship. Will you adopt me?---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.

Story
Hello, I'm Bella! I came to the shelter as a stray and sadly my previous owner never came for me. I am a super sweet and well-mannered pup. The staff tell me I seem to be housebroken and I also know some basic commands. I do have some moments of excitement but its all about getting more attention and TLC. I do ask that any kids in the home be 5 and older as I can be a bit sensitive at times. I may do well with another dog and/or cat with proper introduction. I may be a little older but I am full of life and ready for a new adventure! ---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.

Hi, I'm Tia! I am a happy-go-lucky pup with a winning smile! I came to the shelter as a stray and now I am looking for my furever home. I may do well with another dog and/or cat with proper introduction. I have lots of playful energy and I do still need some work on training to be the best canine citizen! I am a very lovable little gal, and I am sure if you meet me you will agree. I hope you'll consider making me part of your furever family! In my brief time in a home its been learned that I am house trained and non-destructive when left alone!---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.

Hi, I'm Frito! I was sadly dumped by my previous owner, so I am looking to find my true furever home where I will be loved and cherished, and never abandoned. Although I am not very young, I have plenty of pep and love to play and interact with people. I may do well with another dog and/or cat with proper introduction. One thing I ask is that any kids in the home are 3 and older, as I can be a bit rowdy. I deserve to find a family that will keep me safe and comfortable, and provided companionship.

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.

Luna is very lovable and spoiled. She likes to be covered up at night time when I it’s bed time. I got her at 7 months old, she is now 4 years old. We recently moved and do not have a fenced in yard so she can’t run freely like she is used to.

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
Tommy is a very loving dog. He is 12 years old but still gets around well and enjoys walks. He is not adjusting well to our new baby, and gets very jealous. We have brought in a trainer to work with him, but his behaviors are worsening. He would do best in a quieter home with no young kids. He would make a great companion dog and loves to sit on laps. He deserves to be the main focus of a family. He doesn't do well with cats. He has not had any issues with our dogs. He does chase woodland animals. Any questions please reach out. This is a very hard decision and we want him to live his golden years in a quiet and relaxed setting. Thank you for reading about Tommy boy.

Size

Spayed or Neutered,
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
Hi there, I'm Nolan! I'm a fun-loving pup on the hunt for my forever home. I'm eager to explore the world around me, play, and learn how to be a well-behaved canine citizen. I have lots (and I mean LOTS) of energy, and I'm still working on my training and can get a bit over-excited at times - that's why I'm looking for a family who is dedicated to helping me become the best version of myself. My foster mom says that I walk well on a leash and I love to learn so a good student is what I am!Ideally, I'd love to find a home with someone who has experience with dogs and where any children are 13 years or older. I'm also looking for a home where I can be the only dog, as I want to be the center of your world. While I'm not sure how I feel about cats, I promise I'm a sweet pup who just needs a little direction and patience. I am housebroken and crate trained. Once I've had my exercise for the day, I'm also an amazing cuddler and enjoy lounging on the couch.If you're looking for a loyal and loving companion, I could be the perfect match for you. So why not give me a chance and let's see if we can become the best of friends!---This dog is available BY APPOINTMENT only as he is living in foster care. ---The Pennsylvania SPCA - Lancaster Center848 S.
