Story
Meet Arrow: Arrow aka Zachary is up for adoption because his current adopter is returning him because he moved to a new home and he can only have 3 dog’s and no Pit breeds. The adopter adopted Arrow and his sister over a year ago and is keeping his sister because she looks less scary then Arrow. Adopter also took in two small dogs a friend of his had to rehome and so now he wants Arrow gone. Our hearts are breaking for Arrow and we need a loving home for Arrow. Arrow has a high prey drive and is very rambunctious and when he smells something he wants to pursue, he will!!  Children in home should be over 12 years of age as he doesn't realize his size and strenght. Arrow is a Bully mix that is 3.5yrs and weighs 60-65lbs.  Arrow is a lovable and energetic guy. Arrow loved to play with his sister and run around the yard. He is somewhat obiendiant and easily trainable. He is housebroken and is up to date on all his shots and neutered. Arrow loves people but will need to be an only pet. Arrow will need a home with a fenced in yard and a family with big/strong dog experience. If interested in adopting Arrow aka Zachary please go to our website at charliescrusaders.org and fill out our adoption application  ##498173##

Story
Meet Shelby! Shelby is a 2 year old (born around Oct 2021) Pit Bull Terrier mix that weighs around 50 pounds. Shelby was found in Grenada, Mississippi on the side of the road locked in a crate with an empty bowl and thankfully a volunteer with Charlie’s Crusaders was able to rescue her. Shelby is now being fostered near the Pottstown, PA area and is waiting for her forever home! Shelby loves her two furry brothers at her foster home and loves to play and run around with them. Shelby is good with other dogs. Shelby gets very excited to meet new people and takes a few minutes to settle down. Shelby also loves to cuddle and will make a great companion. Shelby is house trained, good in the car, and knows “sit,” “down,” “kennel,” and “come.” Shelby is working on her leash training and will do best in a home with older children because of how hard she likes to play. Shelby will need a home with a fenced in yard and adopters with dog experience. Shelby is up to date on her vaccinations and has been spayed. If you are interested in adopting this sweet girl, please go to Charlie’s Crusaders website (www.charliescrusaders.org) to fill out an application.

Story
Hi! I’m  Fernando. I’m just a puppy who is a lap dog. My foster mom says, I’m a big baby and I’m not a lap dog, but who can you believe? I’ll give you lots of kisses while we talk about it. Fernando is a strong boy, who doesn’t know how big he is. He walks well on a leash and knows basic commands. He needs an experienced pack leader who will remind him of his manners.  He is very smart and additional training will only take a handful of treats to keep his attention. Fernando enjoys walks, playing with his toys, and getting pets. Running in his yard is a favorite past time of his. He will chase his ball all day! After a fun day of play, the only thing left to do is cuddle with his human. He loves belly rubs and back scratches. He will sit on your lap and give kisses while you enjoy a movie night. Fernando would like to have a family who will be firm but loving. It’s important to have breed experience. He would do best with kids over 12 years old. He would do ok with other dogs with a slow introduction that are the same size or bigger than him. A fenced in yard is a must. Fernando is UTD on vaccines, preventatives, and is neutered. CURRENT LOCATION : boarding facility in Hummelstown PA ##1458941##

Story
Meet Sugar: Sugar is a 3 year old (as of November 2023) pit bull terrier mix that weighs 55 pounds. Sugar was at a local pound in Mississippi and found herself on the euthanasia list. We’re so glad we were able to get her into a foster home in time! Sugar is a sweetheart and loves to be near people! Sugar will be right up under you for attention if you are around. Sugar is very friendly with other dogs. She loves the company of her current foster dog brother and has been cautious of other dogs that have been introduced.  After a few minutes she warms up to play with them. Sugar is cat friendly, but we would suggest supervised cat exposure - she loves to chase them to play and we know not all cats would be happy about that. Sugar is house and crate trained. She happily chills in her crate and can entertain herself with toys. Sugar will need a home with a fenced in yard. Sugar is up to date on her shots and spayed. Sugar was initially heart worm positive, but completed her treatments on 11/21/22. If you are interested in adopting this sweet girl, please go to Charlie’s Crusaders website (www.charliescrusaders.org) to fill out an application. ##1583231##

Story
This girl right here is why we exist. This girl who exemplifies all the delightful things of Dogs and who has yet to land in a spot perfect for her. Lulu was most likely used for breeding and then discarded like so many other Good Dogs are here in Philly. Left to fend for herself in a park during the coldest week of winter, she somehow survived by scrounging for food scraps and possibly sleeping in an abandoned house. We are still in awe that she survived it all and finally was trapped by our volunteers. One of our friends made space in her basement and we fortunately found a foster the day the basement began to flood from a rainstorm the night before. She was so tired it was difficult to get a good understanding of who she really was at first. Now that some time has gone by and she has received full medical care and found safety with our friends we feel we understand her a bit more. She is a dream cuddler! She has had great dog meets, though we would definitely take things slow. She hasn't met smaller kids but has met an older kid, we think kids over 12 yrs old would be great while we are getting to know her. We definitely need a cat free home for her, she is residing with one now who she isn't doing well with. She loves to hike and has a lot of fun energy. She loves toys and can solve puzzles faster than a toddler. She snores adorably when she sleeps. She is petite and as pretty as they come! She just needs a little finesse, she just needs stability! Lulu urgently needs a committed foster with no cats now! Her current foster says she is a perfect little dog and just needs a cat free home. Fosters get first dibs at adopting! Please, if you have room in your heart and your home, Lulu needs a space to stay a while. Or forever.

Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
This guy is very funny and sweet, and he wants pets and cuddles all the time. (called Bug because he is a love bug!). He did fine with an older dog in foster's home during a weekend together, but had a tense interaction with a cat so they were separated. Bug is very energetic and would do well in a home where he can get lots of walks and attention. He might do well in a home with another dog, as he likes to play. Needs training. He is very strong and pulls on walks. He did jump a low fence once, but did not seem to want to run away, just to smell some things outside the fence. However he did show aggression when trying to get him back inside at first before calmly entering by himself. He also gets into anything left out on counters, etc, including the occasional paperback book. He has lots of love to give and with some training, will be an excellent addition to someone’s home.

Story
Chewy was found in the Logan section of Philadelphia on March 3rd. At that time, she was estimated to be 18 months old. She has been to the vet for a full round of care, including a spay, since. At around 45 pounds, she is a goofy, energetic young pup who loves to play and receive love from humans. She gets along with cats and children and may need a dedicated adopter to take her through puppy training / socialization to discover or guide her response to other dogs. Chewy is mostly housebroken and responds well to structure and positive feedback. She currently sleeps in a crate and cuddles all the available laps. Your first step to taking this chocolate-eyed sweetheart home is to fill out our Adoption Application. She eagerly awaits the adventures inherent in a life co-created with her forever family unit!

Story
Riley joined our family when she was found being abandoned on the side of the road. She has been a loved member of our family for years. It is with a heavy heart that we are looking to re-home her as we have recently welcomed a baby into our family and we can no longer provide Riley with the care and time that she needs. Riley is a sweet dog who would do best in a single-pet household with older children who are familiar with dogs as she has high energy and loves to play. Riley loves her people and shows her affection by cuddling and laying belly up for belly rubs as often as possible. Riley would be a great companion for a family who has a fenced in yard where she can run and enjoy time playing with her humans. We love Riley and would love to see her go to a loving home!
