Story
Jayce has had a rough start, but you would not know it when you meet him. He lived his life on a chain, he almost lost his life after being attacked by another dog which is when he came into our care. Jayce went from living on a chain, to a kennel for a few months and now he has freedom and he LOVES it!! He enjoys finding a cool place to rest, he ABSOLUTELY loves toys! He is often found with a toy in his mouth, he tosses them and entertains himself. He enjoys a leisurely walk and then is ready for more relaxing. Jayce may seem intimidating with his deep bass bark, but he will wag his tail along with his whole body just as quickly once he sees you. He is an enthusiastic and affectionate boy. Jayce gets along well with female dogs (as long as they aren't overly dominant). He is a pretty laid back guy that is just so happy to be in the moment. He could stand to learn not to jump when excited but otherwise he is a perfect gentleman. Jayce has been waiting to go home for 8 months for someone to pick him. He is a solid guy, weighing around 60 lbs. His ideal family would be one without small children as he has not had the opportunity to meet them. **************PLEASE READ THIS FOR NEXT STEPS**************** COMPLETED APPLICATIONS TAKE PRECEDENCE OVER INQUIRIES.

Story
Looking for peace & quiet? Keep scrolling! This pint-sized pittie piglet is fueled by chaos, cuddles, snacks, and approximately 47 chew toys. He is all fun & no filter. Everything is a game in his world - toys, squeakers, socks, you name it. Casper was found as a stray, so we don't know his past - but his sweet and playful personality shines through!From the moment he wakes up, you'll hear his signature soundtrack: snorts, grunts, and happy little pig noises. You'll swear that you accidentally adopted a barnyard buddy instead of a dog! He proudly narrates his every move - eating? snort. playing? snort. breathing? snort. existing? louder snort. It's his love language. Beneath the zoomies, piggy snorts, and snack-fueled madness is a mushy lovebug who melts into your lap once he finally runs out of gas (which...might take a while). He's still learning his manners, but he's smart, eager to please, and powered entirely by snacks & snuggles. Casper doesnt understand boundaries and personal space of other dogs so he must be a one dog household. Because he plays a little rough and doesnt understand his strength, no small children please. He needs someone patient and ready to guide him through puppy school & ongoing socialization as he grows. He loves people, belly rubs, and showing off his best 'pig snuffle' impression whenever he's excited about something (which is always). If you're looking for a fun-loving shadow who'll keep you laughing (and maybe steal a few socks), Casper is ready to snort his way into your heart!! If you would like to meet Casper, please complete an application on our website: www.crcpa.org/online-applicationCanine Rescue of Central PAKennel #3443

Story
🌟 Miley – The Happy-Go-Lucky Companion You’ve Been Waiting For! 🌟 Meet Miley, a joyful young girl with a heart as big as her smile! At just around 8 months old, this mixed-breed beauty already has great manners and a whole lot of love to give. Miley recently got all her vaccinations and has been spayed, so she’s ready for her forever family! She weighs in at 39 pounds—a perfect medium size for adventures, cuddles, and everything in between. She’s house-trained and crate-trained, and does wonderfully spending the workday (about 8½ hours) in her crate without any trouble. When you’re home, she’s eager to be part of the action and may bark to remind you she’s ready for attention or playtime. Miley is great with other dogs and loves kids, though she’s a bit of a bouncy bundle of energy—so she’d do best in a home without very young children or babies. She hasn’t met cats or other animals yet, but she’s shown no signs of aggression at all—just pure excitement and affection! This girl loves the outdoors, whether she’s running, playing, or just exploring the yard—though she’ll gladly skip rainy days in favor of a cozy nap inside. 💛 Miley is the perfect match for an active home that can give her time, training, and love. In return, she’ll shower you with loyalty, laughter, and endless tail wags. 📄 Vet records and proof of spay/vaccines available upon request.

Story
PLEASE NOTE! Unless stated otherwise, our dogs and puppies are located in Arkansas, and transported to the north/northeast once adopted. We do occasionally have dogs/puppies placed in foster homes in the north/northeast. In the cases where the pet is somewhere other than Arkansas, it will be noted beside the name of the pet.Mr. Carl Bones is looking for a family to love! This sweet, 6 mo old boxer mix was found as a stray, starving to death and in pitiful shape, when he was just a baby. It took a while to get him healthy enough to complete his vetting. He was severely anemic from fleas, ticks, and worms, so we had to handle that first, and get some weight on him, before he could be neutered. Thanks to a very kind and committed foster mama, he is now healthy, happy, well socialized, and fully vetted. Carl is house trained, crate trained, leash trained, and he loves other dogs, cats, and chickens. He loves all humans, including kids. He is just a fabulous pup, and as a bonus, he has the cutest little under bite imaginable! We believe he is a Boxer mix but probably wont be as large as a full boxer. He is currently about 30 lbs at 6 months old, so he may top out at 40-50 lbs. Dont miss out on this beautiful, well behaved, sweet boy! He is neutered, UTD on vaccines, microchipped, and on flea/tick and heartworm prevention.  Carl is located in Arkansas. He can be adopted locally, but transport is available to the New England area as well. Adopter must be able to pick up or arrange for someone to pick up for them in PA, NY, or CT on Saturdays. To apply, please fill out the adoption app: https://form.jotform.com/212690945239059 Message us or email apps.aasr@gmail.com with any questions.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.Our typical adoption fee for puppies younger than 6 months old is $400, and for older puppies and adults, the usual fee is $350. This includes microchip, spay/neuter,  up to date on age appropriate vaccinations, dewormings, flea/tick treatment, and heartworm test (if over 6 months old) as well as heartworm treatment if they test positive. There is a transport fee of $150 per dog, depending on the transporter. We use Pack Leaders Rescue Dog Transport most often, but also use Hearts Transport as well on occasion. Please visit our Facebook page too! https://www.facebook.com/adoptastrayrescueorg For more info regarding adopting, email apps.aasr@gmail.com Thank you for considering one of our rescue babies!December 27, 2025, 9:05 am
