Story

Meet Maurice: Maurice is a 3 year old (as of 2026) pit / lab mix (best guess) that weighs around 60 pounds. Maurice is timid but sweet. He likes giving kisses, belly rubs, and getting attention from his person. He loves being outside and exploring. A fenced-in yard or someone looking for a walking buddy would be ideal for Maurice as he loves to run and go for walks. He is great in the car, crate and house-trained, and will entertain himself with chew bones. Maurice is currently in a foster home in the Leesport, PA area. He gets along with other dogs and has been fine around cats. Maurice is uncomfortable around men and would need to have a woman as his primary person. We would love for Maurice to have a home with a fenced in yard for him to run and play! Maurice is up to date on his shots and neutered. If you are interested in adopting this sweetie, please go to Charlie’s Crusaders website (www.charliescrusaders.org) to fill out an application.

Penny

Pit Bull Terrier

Details

Story

Meet Penny: Penny is about a 2 year old (as of November 2023) pit bull terrier mix (best guess) that weighs 48 pounds. Penny was a lucky one that was rescued from a southern high kill shelter after she was scheduled for euthanasia. Once in the foster’s home it was discovered that she was pregnant; Penny gave birth to 3 live puppies and remaining 6 were still born. She has been a wonderfully sweet mama and we want to find her and her pups the best forever homes! Penny is currently being fostered in the south and would love to take the freedom ride north to Pennsylvania to meet more prospective families. Penny is a very sweet, active young lady and will need a family that likes to be active as well. Penny is a very playful girl who is constantly getting the zoomies. She is very athletic and would excel at sports! Penny is shy at first but will warm up quickly once bribed with treats and given time to get to know you. (She loves “Fromm Crunchy O’s” treats!) Penny is dog friendly if properly & slowly introduced. She prefers the company of submissive dogs her size or larger. She will need an experienced home because she will resource guard her food, treats & toys, so we don’t recommend small children for her. Penny has stunning blue eyes and a zest for life! Penny’s house training status is currently being assessed. Penny will need a home with a fenced in yard for her to play safely and get all of her zoomies out. Penny is up to date on her shots and spayed. If you are interested in adopting this active mama, please go to Charlie’s Crusaders website (www.charliescrusaders.org) to fill out an application.

Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Meet Bonnie: Bonnie is estimated to be about a 2 year old (as of June 2025) pit mix that weighs around 100 pounds. Bonnie and her brother, Clyde, were picked up as strays and found their way into our rescue. Bonnie is currently being fostered in the south and would love to take the freedom ride north to Pennsylvania to meet more prospective families. Bonnie is very sweet and friendly. Bonnie is leash trained, but can pull when excited. Bonnie gets along well with other dogs. Bonnie seems to do well with cats; she has ignored the cat she has been around even when the cat sits by her pen and taunts her. However they haven’t had much time in the same space. We are unsure of Bonnie’s house training status and will need to continue to assess her abilities as we spend more time with her. We would love for Bonnie to have a home with a fenced in yard so she can run and play freely. Bonnie is up to date on her shots and spayed.

Story

Meet King: King is about a 1 year old (as of April 2026) bulldog mix (best guess) that weighs 28 pounds. King was brought into an animal shelter in March of 2026. King was underweight and assessed as needing an ulnar osteotomy, which is an operation to shorten the front leg bones. Due to this, he was passed over at the shelter and was put on the euthanasia list. Our rescue was able to step in and get him into a foster home and have a further consultation with the doggie orthopedic surgeons. The additional consult revealed that the surgery was not necessary unless King was in pain and he is not showing any signs of pain. The orthopedist believes King will be good just as is and does that any limitations. King is currently being fostered in the south and would love to take the freedom ride north to Pennsylvania to meet more prospective families. King’s personality is one of a happy and extremely affectionate companion who loves to be close to someone. King loves to be pet and receive affection from his humans. King is not built for jumping, but is happiest when he can be picked up and lifted onto a couch or chair to snuggle up. King gets along well with other dogs and can be a raucous playmate to the young puppies in the house. King is house trained to a doggie door and knows how to walk well on a leash. We would love for King to have a home with a fenced in yard so he can play freely, but it’s not a requirement. King is up to date on his shots and neutered.

Story

Meet Diddy!Diddy was originally adopted from us as a puppy and recently found himself back as a stray. Sadly, his previous family didn’t come back for him, but Diddy hasn’t let that dull his spirit. He’s ready to start fresh and find a forever home that will truly stick by his side.This big, lovable guy is a total sweetheart with a playful, silly personality that’s sure to keep you smiling. He loves to have fun, whether that’s bouncing around in excitement, playing with toys, or just being his goofy self. Because of his size and enthusiasm, Diddy would do best in a home with children ages 3 and up who can handle his bouncy nature.Diddy may be open to sharing his home with another dog or even a cat, as long as introductions are done slowly and thoughtfully. With the right match, he could make a great companion for both people and pets alike.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.
