Story
Current Location: Leesburg, VA Hi there! My name is Ozzy. I’m a handsome guy with a gorgeous set of eyes and a personality that’s even brighter. My foster mom says I’m the ultimate "people dog"—I’ve never met a stranger I didn't want to befriend! 🎾 The "Professional" Fetcher I might look like an Aussie, but I think I’m actually a Labrador. I am obsessed with tennis balls! I love playing fetch so much that I even insist on bringing a ball along on my walks. 🚿 My Favorite Things: Water Lover: Did someone say bath time? Whether it’s for me or for you, if I hear the water running, I’m jumping in! I’m the perfect buddy for anyone who doesn't mind a little bubble bath. Co-Pilot Extraordinaire: I love the car! I’ll jump right in the second the door opens. I’m such a cuddler that I actually have to wear a seatbelt to keep me from trying to sit in your lap while you drive. Social Butterfly: I get along great with other dogs and I love every human I meet. 🏃‍♂️ My Ideal Lifestyle I’m a high-energy boy who is looking for a partner-in-crime. If you’re a hiker, a runner, or have a big yard for zoomies, I’m your guy! 💁‍♂️The Nitty-Gritty: House Trained: No accidents in the house! Crate Trained: I love my crate; I go right in for a treat and settle down quietly. Health: Up-to-date on all vaccines and monthly preventatives. Still Learning: I still have some of that puppy spirit! Sometimes I get a little "mouthy" when I'm excited, but I'm easily redirected to a toy. I also like to jump up to say hello, but I'm working on my manners. I sound pretty awesome, right? I’m ready to find my "forever" adventure buddy! 💌 Adopt Me! Don’t wait—apply to adopt Ozzy today and let the adventures begin!

Story
Wyatt is available through Animal Rescue, Inc in New Freedom, PA. He would love a home with at least one other dog to play with all day, its actually a must for him. Wyatt loves to play tug with his buddies when they aren`t chasing each other around the large fenced yard. He is about a year old and has a lot of energy, so a job of some sort would be great. Wyatt does tend to herd other dogs and likes to play with your hands, though we have been working on that, so older kids/teens would probably be best. He loves to drink water as your pouring it. Wyatt sleeps in his crate at night, which provides a break for his companions too, but he does like to just chill in there off and on during the day too. He can take a bit to warm up to men, but mine have found that collagen puff treats help a lot. Wyatt is eager to please and recently attended a board and train, so it is important that his new family will continue to reinforce what he learned there so he can be his very best self.

Story
It’s obvious that Chet has STAR quality! Not only is he the most handsome guy around, but he is also a very affectionate dog and he is very smart. He went to puppy school as a youngster and learned his basic commands. He being on the receiving end of his human’s attention, snuggling with them on the couch, sleeping in the bed with them and he always gives kisses freely. He’s a lot of fun too… loves to play with toys, and if you’ll throw them, he will catch and retrieve balls and frisbees. Chet is a fairly quiet and a little shy and he want’s all of his human’s attention for himself. That being said, he needs to be the only dog in the home. He gets along with other dogs as long as they are laid back/submissive, but prefers not to live with them. He hasn’t been around little kids, but would be fine around older kids that would respect him and treat him with kindness. Chet will make a wonderful companion for some lucky family! He is three years old (dob 11/9/21) and weighs 40-45 pounds, has been neutered, micro-chipped, 4DX heartworm tested, fecal tested, is current on all vaccinations, worming, heartworm and flea prevention. His adoption fee is $400. Chet is being fostered in Tennessee. Once adopted he will be transported to his pickup location by a professional dog transport company. Our rescue ships to the Northeast area every week and his fee includes transportation. Due to state laws, we cannot accept applications from residents of Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island or Maine since we can’t adopt directly to those states.

Story
Meet King Karrington King Karrington is a 9‑month‑old Australian Shepherd, weighing 25 lbs, who came to us after being surrendered to ACCT Philly when his family could no longer afford his care. We quickly brought him to safety so he could get the stability and future he deserves. This young king is high‑energy, super cuddly, and incredibly affectionate. He is loyal, sweet, and absolutely generous with kisses — expect to be licked to death and smothered in smooches. King loves a good chew toy and is happiest when he has something to occupy his busy mind and mouth. King thrives with attention, routine, and consistent interaction. He does best when his people are around and can be nervous when left alone, so a home that understands his need for structure, reassurance, and plenty of cuddle time will help him succeed. He loves to run and would be thrilled with a home that can provide lots of exercise to keep both his body and brain happy. His previous owner reported that King was excited but non‑aggressive around cats (there were three in the home). He can be a bit anxious around new people, but give him a moment to warm up and he quickly becomes friendly and affectionate. King Karrington is looking for an adopter who understands the needs of a young, intelligent working breed — someone ready to provide exercise, consistency, companionship, and lots of love. In return, you’ll get a devoted, joyful companion who just wants to be close to his people. If you’re ready to give this sweet, energetic boy the time and structure he needs, King Karrington may be your perfect match. He will come neutered, vaccinated, 4dx tested and microchipped. If you’re serious about adoption, please complete an application at www.phoenixanimalrescue.com Adoption fee: $500 Phoenix Animal Rescue Chester Springs, PA Kennel License #5152
