Story
Neika is a 2 year-old sweetheart who was surrendered to Pet Search. She weighs approximately 50 pounds. She is house broken, and can ring a bell when she wants to go outside. She is very energetic, loves to play and snuggle and walks well on a leash with a gentle lead collar. After being adopted, she came back to us--she became the alpha/protector at her new home, which resulted in being aggressive with smaller dogs. She needs an alpha owner willing to work with her on impulse and leash control. (Pet Search can recommend a trainer who has been working with her.) We recommend a fenced yard, lots of play time, and a home with no young children because of her energy level. Neika is spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped.

Story
Pittie (3/23/19) has had so many tragedies in her life...She was a stray 9 month old puppy when she came to pet Search and was adopted a few months later by Tami and Bart. Two weeks after her adoption, Tami suddenly passed away. Pittie became Bart's center of his world as they both grieved the loss of Tami. Bart suddenly passed away in June and Pittie is grieving once again. She is back with Pet Search and we have given her some time to adjust to her loss. Pittie was raised with a cat and she was originally in a foster home with other dogs, but we are slowing working with her to check her dog selectiveness as she was an only dog for almost 4 years. Pittie has had so many losses in her short life- we are hoping to find another person or family that will provide stability and let her become the love of their life. Can you give her that second chance? Just one look at this happy face says "please give me another chance Applications available at https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/PAPS/Dog PA KL# 03301 Washington Pa 15301

Story
Meet Petey Petey is described as "such a great dog" and "he deserves more than we can give him." His owner found him as a stray and couldn't turn him away. Now having just moved into a new home with three kids under the age of 8, in addition to a full-time job and college courses, Petey has been relegated to very long hours of crating. In addition, he is deaf and is being teased and taunted by neighbor kids, making his life miserable. His owner has admitted that "it’s breaking my heart to give him away but I know it’s best for him to have someone that can actually be there. It’s not fair for him to be in a crate all day long." Although he seems to be companiable with some dogs, Petey may be too much for small dogs.
