Story
Bureau of Dog Law Enforcement—Kennel License #2617Could he do well with kids? Yes, with children 14 years and older.Could he do well with other dogs? Yes, on a dog-by-dog basis.Has this dog lived with cats? Unknown. [The Lycoming County SPCA does not “cat test” dogs per the Association of Shelter Veterinarian’s Guidelines for Standards of Care in Animal Shelters.]---What volunteers have to say about this animal:Meet Goose – From Shut Down to ShineWhen Goose first came to the shelter, he was a different dog—unsure of people, defensive, and deeply wary of human touch. Thanks to the patience, consistency, and love of staff and volunteers, Goose has blossomed into a joyful, affectionate, and downright irresistible companion.Now? This boy throws himself into your arms for snuggles, politely takes treats, and loves showing off his commands—“sit,” “boop,” and more. On walks, he’s an attentive, enthusiastic partner who checks in often, even if he sometimes pulls when something exciting catches his nose.Some of Goose’s Best Qualities:-A true snugglebug who leans in close for affection-Knows his commands and is eager to please-Energetic, playful, and always up for fun-A happy, attentive walker who loves adventures-Improving every day in play manners with other dogsHe’s not without quirks—he may chase his tail when overstimulated, or get a little too excited during play—but he’s learning to self-regulate and signals clearly when he needs a break. With guidance and continued structure, Goose thrives.Goose Would Do Best In a Home With:-Kids 14+ who can handle his size and energy-Possibly another dog—one who can keep up with his playful, high-energy style-A family who will celebrate his goofy, affectionate spirit and continue his journey of growthAt 4 years old and 71 pounds, Goose is the best of both worlds—mature enough to know his manners, but young enough to keep life fun and full of energy. And just look at him—those bright eyes, big smile, and handsome brindle coat say it all.Goose has already proven that with love and patience, he can bloom. Now he’s ready to do the same in a forever home.---Condensed Staff Assessment Notes: Goose is an energetic and playful dog who has shown improvement with the help of staff and volunteers. He tends to pull on the leash when eager to reach certain objects or scents but walks pol

Bureau of Dog Law Enforcement—Kennel License #2617Could he do well with kids? Yes, with children around 12 years old on a kid-by-kid basis.Could he do well with other dogs? Yes, on a dog-by-dog basis.Has this dog lived with cats? Unknown. [The Lycoming County SPCA does not “cat test” dogs per the Association of Shelter Veterinarian’s Guidelines for Standards of Care in Animal Shelters.]---What volunteers have to say about this animal: Meet Fog – Smart, Sensitive, and Seriously CuteFog is a six-year-old medium-sized American Pit Bull Terrier mix with huge heart, even bigger smarts—and one adorably bent ear that never quite straightens out.He’s been with us long enough to show his full personality: sweet, sensitive, slightly anxious in the shelter environment, and very eager to bond with someone special. He can be a little reserved when meeting new people, but once he knows you? He’ll greet you like sunshine breaking through the clouds.Fog’s Favorite Things:- Zooming around the yard with a ball- Trail walks (with plenty of sniffing)- Training games and treat puzzles—he’s brilliant at them- Frozen Kongs, peanut butter, and pup cups with whipped cream- Building trust, slowly and surelyFog’s Ideal Match:- Children 12+ (case-by-case depending on comfort)- Possibly another dog, with careful introductions and a few meet-ups- A calm, consistent home where he can decompress and continue building confidence- A person who enjoys a mix of mental enrichment, gentle structure, and good cuddle energyFog has some leash manners to work on (he gets excited and zigzags a bit), but he responds well to redirection and already knows several basic cues: sit, come, wait, stay—and he’s happy to keep learning.He’s not a dog who comes in hot and wants instant hugs, but with a few minutes, a gentle voice, and maybe a peanut butter snack, you’ll quickly become his favorite person.Fog is one of those dogs who doesn’t just want a home—he wants to belong. To bond. To learn. To breathe deeper in a place where the days are quieter, the toys are plentiful, and the kindness is steady.---Condensed Staff Assessment Notes: Fog is an energetic and playful dog who needs training in leash manners, as he tends to pull and zigzag. He accepts handling well and shows no resource guarding outside his kennel, though he does guard his food and space. F

Story
Bureau of Dog Law Enforcement—Kennel License #2617**Due to Blu needing neutered, his adoption will not be finalized until on or after: TBDCould he do well with kids? Yes, with children around 12 years, on a kid-by-kid basis.Could he do well with other dogs? Yes, on a dog-by-dog basis.Has this dog lived with cats? Yes. [The Lycoming County SPCA does not “cat test” dogs per the Association of Shelter Veterinarian’s Guidelines for Standards of Care in Animal Shelters.]---Condensed Staff Assessment Notes: Blu is an energetic and fun-loving dog with potential for good behavior with proper training. He can be jumpy and occasionally nippy when excited, but he showed good bite inhibition. His enthusiasm may lead to more excitement during handling. There were no resource guarding issues; he played gently with toys, although he preferred solo play. He responded well to redirection and understood the `sit` cue, showing stability around objects and sounds. Initially, Blu can be rude to strangers, but he calmed down over time. He starts off a bit rude with new dogs but demonstrated good socialization skills and adapted his behavior to match the other dog`s.---For more resources to help with any step of your adoption journey go to: https://go.petadoptiongateway.com/LycomingDT

[The Lycoming County SPCA does not “cat test” dogs per the Association of Shelter Veterinarian’s Guidelines for Standards of Care in Animal Shelters.]---What volunteers have to say about this animal:Meet Brynlee – Gentle, Dignified LadyAt 8 years old, Brynlee is the perfect blend of sweetness, energy, and grace. This beautiful pit bull mix has a calm, dignified presence but still loves to play and explore like a pup at heart. She’s ready to spend her golden years with a family who will treasure her.Who is Brynlee? Brynlee is affectionate, active, and people-focused. She waits patiently at her kennel gate, then trots out happily, eager to sniff her way through every adventure. She zigzags a bit on leash, but she listens well to gentle redirection and thrives with calm guidance. She can startle at unfamiliar things (umbrellas, canes), but she recovers quickly with reassurance. She enjoys attention but also knows when she’s had enough and will politely walk away—this lady has boundaries and carries herself with quiet dignity.Some of her favorite things include:- Playing fetch with plush toys and tennis balls- Exploring outdoors and following her nose- Soaking up affection from her people- Running around in playful bursts, then resting at your sideBrynlee Would Do Best In a Home That Offers:- Gentle kids around 6+ (case by case)- Careful introductions with other dogs - Patience, structure, and love to help her feel secure- A balance of playtime and relaxationThe best part? Brynlee has lived with cats before—so with proper introductions, she may do well in a multi-pet home. Those soft, dark eyes say it all. Brynlee is a loving, dignified soul who’s ready for a family to adore her.---Condensed Staff Assessment Notes: Brynlee is a sweet and active older girl who loves being around people and exploring. Although eager to leave her kennel, she stayed composed at the gate. While walking, she often zigzagged to investigate different scents and occasionally pulled on the leash, but she was manageable.She listened attentively when I redirected her f

Story
Coffee is a 4-year-old, spayed female Pit/Ridgeback mix who is ready to find her forever family. Due to unexpected personal circumstances, I’m no longer able to care for her long term. Coffee is both crate trained and fully house trained. She has a solid obedience foundation and knows recall, place, heel, center, sit, and down. She walks beautifully on a loose leash, even in busy city environments, and is comfortable navigating crowded streets. She has no known health issues and is up to date on preventive medications for heartworm, fleas, and ticks. Coffee does well being home alone during the workweek (about 8 hours a day). She enjoys playing tug, going for walks, and especially loves car rides. Most of all, she is sweet, affectionate, and loves being around people. Coffee would do best in a stable home that can give her consistent love, attention, and companionship.
