Story
ABOUT ALVIN Allllvinnn!!! Just like the mischievous chipmunk, you’ll never be bored with Alvin by your side! Alvin is a 2-year-old miniature aussie mix with lots of energy. He came to HAP from a high-intake shelter in Georgia when they no longer had space for him. This super fluffy, young canine gentleman is bursting with energy and personality. Alvin loves to sprint as fast as his little legs will carry him, and trust us, that’s pretty fast! You’ll know he’s having a blast when he prances around proudly after retrieving his prize. Alvin is incredibly smart and has a big personality he’s not afraid to show. He thrives in environments where he can stay mentally and physically engaged, making him a great match for an active individual or family who enjoys outdoor adventures. With a strong personality and a preference for being the center of attention, Alvin would do best in a home where he can be the boss. If you’re looking for a fun-loving, energetic partner in crime, look no further than Aaaallllviiinnn! If you are interested in adopting this dog, please submit an adoption questionnaire! Our adoption process is on a first-come, best-match basis and we are not able to hold animals. If you are interested in this specific dog but it ends up not being the best fit upon meeting, our adoption counselors will work with you to help find a match! All household members, including children and other dogs, must come along for the meeting to make sure it's a good fit. If a match is made, we encourage same-day adoptions! Our adoption fees include the animals' spay/neuter, microchip, age-appropriate vaccinations and preventatives, fecal testing, heartworm testing, and a small bag of food to get you started.

Story
Indi (3y) is a bundle of energy, loyalty and personality! If you're looking for a dog who is ready to keep up with your active lifestyle, Indi is your girl! Indi is super smart & well trained, completed a 4wk obedience program at RidelK9 in Middletown, DE. Knows commands & walks well on leash. Sweet w/people & has been especially gentle w/our baby; playful & fun, loves her Barkbox toys. We love Indi very much and it breaks our hearts to rehome her, however Indi has a strong prey drive & never warmed up to the cats in our home. Needs a CAT FREE home. A family who wants a loyal companion for outdoor adventures & can provide structure, attention & exercise will be ideal! Indi gets along w/our other dog (large male, huge whimp). But every now & then, she stirs up some trouble. If you are looking for a sweet girl who will keep you moving, make you laugh & love you endlessly, Indi is your girl!

These ladies are STILL looking for their forever homes! DNA attached!! Close to small breed!!! At 4 months old, these ladies are low riders and will stay on the smaller side. They are social, sweet, and love kids and other dogs (not cat tested). They have the softest fur and are the perfect lap size. They are content staying in and don't need a large yard (though dog parks would be fun) They can be leash walked and also don't require a fenced (if leashed of course). These pups are spayed, microchipped, have all 3 parvo/distemper vaccines, bordatella vaccine, and are UTD on monthly preventatives. To add one to your family, please send us a detailed application from www.puppiesareworthsaving.com! Foster location: Abingdon, MD

Story
Kala knows she has the best ears and RBF, but you are welcomed to agree in the comments. She will appreciate the support. This 4 month old lady is the smallest of the 3 siblings still available. She is a perfect mix of awesome breeds pictured below. Kala is super friendly, social, outgoing, sweet, loving...everything you want in a puppy. Even with her silly puppy zoomies, we think Kala would do well in an apartment or condo, or in a large house. She could do yard or leash or doggy park. She loves kids and dogs and would likely adjust well to cats. Snatch up this lady while you can. Kala is spayed, microchipped, has all 3 parvo/distemper vaccines, bordatella vaccine, and is UTD on monthly preventatives. To add her to your forever family, please send us detailed application from www.puppiesareworthsaving.com. The adoption would be within 2-3 days of applying and the entire family must be present. Foster location: Abingdon, MD

Story
MERCURY Breed: Australian Shepherd Gender: Male Approximate DOB: 3/11/2019 Size: Medium Weight (Potential): 40 (40) Color: White and blue merle Health: IBS, General anxiety and separation anxiety, crystals in bladder, on prescription food for GI issues and daily medications to manage anxiety. Shedding: Moderate Grooming Needs: Moderate Spayed/Neutered: Yes Good with Dogs: Yes Good with Cats: Unknown Good with Children: No Appropriate for city living: No A secure, physical fence is required. Adopters must live within 30 miles of King of Prussia, PA. Mercury is as sweet as he is handsome and at a young age he had to overcome quite a bit. He was born in a Pennsylvania puppy mill and rescued at 17 weeks of age. He was frightened and had no idea how to live in a home. Over time with a lot of veterinary care, we have found a diet that agrees with his GI system and have worked with our trainer and veterinary behaviorist to manage and treat his severe anxiety. He is a work in progress but has improved with the help of medication. H will likely need medication and prescription food for the rest of his life and will need someone to monitor the crystals in his bladder so he does not develop a blockage which can usually only be fixed with surgery if things get too severe. Mercury loves to play with toys and monitor the yard for "intruders" like birds and squirrels. He needs a very secure, solid 6-foot fence to contain him (he is a climber, jumper and digger) as he needs a yard to burn off his energy but gets a bit overwhelmed on leash walks (this is a work in progress, too). He will flash a huge smile when he greets you and will pretend that he is a tiny lap dog as soon as you sit down. He likes to watch TV but also is really good at catching a ball. Mercury needs a very loving and patient adopter who has an adult-only home and is willing to manage his medical and behavioral issues all while helping him build his confidence. He isn't a dog for the faint of heart, but he will make yours skip a beat as soon as he gives you a hug. *All dogs will go through a transition period after finding a new home and may need a “refresher course” in house-breaking.
