Charlie

American Staffordshire Terrier

Female, Young
Lancaster, PA
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Good with cats, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Charlie was abandoned in a condemned house by tenants who left very quickly. She is extreeeemely sweet and unbelievably affectionate. All she wants is to snuggle and sit on your lap and get belly rubs. She listens really well, she learned her new name in under a week. She needs some training, but is very eager to please. She seems to be mostly housetrained but she does pee sometimes at night. However, she's in a shifting environment (living in our heated basement) and has only been with us for a week. We took her to the vet, she has some allergies but is otherwise healthy and about 3 years old. This dog would make someone an incredible pet, if they have a little time and energy to put into upfront training. I cannot stress enough how sweet and loving this dog is. She was found with another dog (a tiny dog). She did not have a good interaction with our male pittie but she's in heat right now which an totally change how she is with other dogs. Working on spaying her.

Story
I was left with Charlie 4 years ago after my uncle passed away. He’s a very energetic and protective dog. He loves playing with other dogs. He loves snuggling with cats. His favorite game is fetch but with a large stick. He loves treats but is not the most food oriented dog. He loves guarding his home and you will feel safe with him there.

I got Max from a close friend who has both of his parents still together. Max is a 75lb 2yrs old and his bday is Jan 1, 2023. He loves to play, go on walks, sleep, belly rubs and also likes to talk back. Hes a goofy dog that makes the weirdest faces and noises. He is always the first one at the door to greet you. He is also crate trained. I am just looking for someone that has time to just love him and play with him and willing to take him to parks.

Story
Goober is a happy, handsome boy looking for a loving forever home after being rescued. He’s the total package — house-trained, crate-trained, and already knows basic commands. Friendly with kids, strangers, and other large dogs, Goober makes fast friends everywhere he goes. In fact, he’s a neighborhood superstar! This 70-pound sweetheart loves to lounge most of the day but has an adorable case of the zoomies around 3 PM. He’s great at playing fetch, especially with his football, and enjoys exploring the outdoors. Goober is respectful with food and toys, letting you take a bone right from his mouth without issue. He’s also good with baths and happy to soak up attention. Goober does have some allergies, but they are managed with medication. He has a high prey drive, so he cannot live with small dogs, cats, chickens, or other small animals. He would do best in a home with dogs his size or larger. While he’s a very strong boy now that he’s healthy, Goober is eager to learn. He will need continued leash training (he’s a powerful puller when excited!) but is responsive and willing to please. If you’re ready to welcome a big-hearted, goofy, loving dog into your life, Goober is your guy! Ready to meet Goober? Fill out an adoption application today — he can't wait to find his forever family!

American Staffordshire Terrier

Story
Please meet Jack, a 8 yr old very sweet, handsome little boy, looking for his forever home. Jack is up to date on all vaccines, heartworm negative, on preventative, is neutered and microchipped. Jack seems to prefer female Dogs, so a home with females or no other dog may be best and no cats please. Jack really needs a Foster home where he can be taught appropriate greeting behaviour with new people. Jack is very sweet but seems to think wrapping himself around someone's leg and holding on is the way to be affectionate, after he gets to know someone he stops that, but being this way sadly will completely hinder any adoption prospects. If you are interested in fostering or providing a forever home for our sweet Jack, please click HERE to download our Adoption Application. Please save it to your PC with your name as the title, and e-mail the saved document to: terry4553@verizon.net If you have questions about how the adoption process works, we do have our adoption process located below which we feel will answer all your questions. If after submitting your application and reading our process, you still have questions, please email Terry at terry4553@verizon.net Thank you.

Red

Boxer Black Mouth Cur

Female, Young
Lancaster, PA
Size
(when grown) -
Details
Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Meet Red: Red is about a 2 year old (as of December 2025) boxer / black mouth cur mix (best guess) that weighs about 50 pounds. Red was found on the streets in rural Mississippi with her litter of puppies. The puppies have all been adopted and now it’s her turn. Red is currently being fostered in the south and would love to take the freedom ride north to Pennsylvania to meet more prospective families. Red is a very friendly dog. Red is sweet and nice to have around. Red gets along great with other dogs, but we do not recommend that she live with cats. Red is currently house trained to a doggie door and may need some patience while she transitions to another method. We would love for Red to have a home with a fenced in yard so she can run and play freely. Red is up to date on her shots and spayed. Red had been heartworm positive, but has completed treatments and is good to go! If you would like to add this mama into your life, please go to Charlie’s Crusaders website (www.charliescrusaders.org) to fill out an application. CURRENT LOCATION: Mississippi, awaiting transport to PA ##2606440##
