Story
New Year, New Best Friend — Meet Cola  As the New Year begins, Cola is hoping this is the year she finds what she’s been waiting for most: a place to call home. Cola is a one-year-old mixed breed, about 25 pounds of pure sweetness — the perfect size for both outdoor adventures and cozy nights on the couch. She’s playful, affectionate, and deeply people-oriented, happiest when she’s right by your side. This smart girl is both house trained and crate trained, making the transition into a new home smooth and stress-free. She enjoys other dogs and can absolutely have canine friends, but requires slow, respectful introductions. Cola hasn’t been tested with cats yet, and she hasn’t spent much time around children. Because she can get a little bouncy when excitement kicks in (she’s still a young pup learning her manners!), she may do best in a home without very young children. Cola loves her toys — squeaky, chewy, tossable — and she’s very food motivated, which makes training fun and rewarding. She’s eager to learn and would thrive with a family excited to continue helping her grow. She worked with a trainer one day and picked up quickly! What truly makes Cola special is her heart. She wants to belong. She’ll follow you from room to room, curl up beside you after a long day, and greet you with joyful wiggles like you’re the best part of her world — because to her, you are. If your New Year’s resolution includes more love, laughter, exercise, and loyal companionship, Cola may be the perfect addition to your life. She’s ready to start her next chapter — could it be with you?   Fostered in Harrisburg, PA  Up-to-date on all vaccinations  Apply to adopt Cola here:   https://www.pack9rescue.org/applications/ New Oxford, PA 17350 | LIC #9736 We are PA Caring for K-9's, an all-breed dog rescue that is solely run by volunteers.

Magnolia   aka Maggie! This sweet 5 yr old, approx 43 lbs spayed female mixed breed came to PA from Georgia where she was found as a stray. Maggie is a timid girl who is weary of new people, places and things but is hoping to find her furever family who wants to show her that the world isn’t such a scary place. While she’s shy and timid meeting new people once she knows you she wants nothing more than all your love and attention. Maggie is up to date on her preventatives and vaccines. Maggie is loved children and is dog and human friendly. We are unsure of how she feels about kitty friends. Maggie is being fostered in Dillsburg, Pa.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.All of the animals posted on our site have been temperament tested. While not all are in the immediate area, once we have processed and approved your application, we will move the dog to our adoptive area for you to meet, greet and hopefully adopt. Sometimes we will have more than one application on a dog. That does not mean it automatically goes to another family but you should be aware of the fact that until you are approved and set up for the meet/greet.. the dog could get adopted by another applicant.Harley is such a great dog! A note from his foster:  He’s perfectly well-behaved in the house. House-trained, gentle and happily goes into his crate at night or when asked. He’s smart and knows some commands. Seems to take satisfaction from pleasing humans, with just enough personality to make you laugh. He knows enough to test boundaries, but quickly course-corrects. This pup is grateful for getting the pets and is thrilled with the bully-rub.  He’s happy to nap by your feet during work calls, lay in the sun, and eager to go for walks. Good on a leash. Happy to sit for his harness and takes commands well when leaving the house. His prey drive is high — gets too excited about squirrels, most birds, other critters that scurry. He’s not well-suited for other dogs. Or cats.  He’s got some hound in his mix; loves to sniff and on the occasions when a siren would pass he would sing along. (Adorable.) Not a crazy barker, but can sound fierce when he does bark. He’s more of a gentle giant with humans. Did just fine with new people coming into the home. Sheds a lot!  Harley would live his best life in a home where he’s the only pet. A privacy-fenced yard to run free in would be nice, I suspect, but he’s seemingly just as happy to live in a city and go for walks a few times a day. Contact with other dogs would have to be limited.  He’s the perfect dog if you’re looking for a loyal best friend, and don’t have other pets.  Due to his being dog selective, we will only place Admiral in a home with childern 14 and older. If you are interested in Admiral, please contact: rorrcanine@gmail.com      *** Click here to sponsor this dog! *** Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.December 26, 2025, 1:57 am
