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.

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.

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. If you are interested in giving this sweet hippo a great home, please go to Charlie’s Crusaders website (www.charliescrusaders.org) to fill out an application.
