Story
This handsome fellow and his siblings came in to rescue last winter after they were dumped on a back country road. Their mother was found deceased, so we took the puppies in to try to save them. They were very sick initially but are very healthy now. Big boy is a gentle boy but does love to run and play with other dogs. Big boy was the largest of the puppies, but his siblings have caught up to him. He has done amazing with his house and crate training. He is so deserving of a wonderful home to call his own. He is fostered in East TN, but transportation is included in the adoption fee and provided by Rescue Riders LLC. Please let me know if you have any questions. Please email us for the link to the adoption application (His adoption fee is only to cover transport and health certificate to travel to another state.)

Story
Meet Sammy! Sammy is a sweet, young, playful pup with a curious and adventurous spirit—and according to his foster, “he is such a great boy.” At just 1 year old and around 30 pounds, he’s still filling out and will benefit from gaining a few healthy pounds.Sammy appears to be a smaller Rottweiler mix, possibly with some Shepherd, thanks to his longer, softer coat and slender build. Whatever his mix may be, one thing is certain: he’s absolutely beautiful, smart, and incredibly soft—perfect for cuddling.He is crate trained and house trained, does great with kids, and loves playing with other dogs. After a rough start in life where he was underfed, Sammy is now an enthusiastic eater and does best with a slow-feeder bowl.Sammy truly shines when it’s time to relax—he loves cuddling on the couch and being close to his people. He enjoys toys, playtime, and exploring the world. While he can be a little nervous in new environments, he warms up quickly with patience and reassurance. He does okay on a leash and seems to enjoy car rides too.With continued guidance, love, and stability, Sammy will make a fun, loyal, and affectionate companion for a home ready to help him continue building confidence and thriving.

PLEASE NOTE: Our adoption fee helps to cover our expenses and includes all shots, *age appropriate*, distemper and rabies, fecal check, spay/neuter, heartworm test, grooming, and in many cases dental and also the fee we pay when we rescue from a shelter.

Story
Such wonderful puppies these Aussie mixes are! With a mom like Piglet, how could they be anything else? Their names? Winnie, Lumpy, Eeyore, Robin, Roo, Pooh, Tigger, and Darby. They're 3 months old, presently around 10 pounds and will mature to probably around 40 pounds. These babies are sweet and playful, social and smart. They love toys! They love each other, too! Great litter!!! (posted 12/26/25, ME) Adoption Fee: $395.00-- covers microchip, worming, all vaccines, monthly heart worm preventative, monthly tick/flea preventative, spaying/neutering, health certificate, and complete medical records. Transport Fee: $160.00-- We consider the transport to be of great importance and, as such, take particular care of the dogs during the trip. We make every effort to arrive with healthy and minimally stressed dogs. **It is rare that we know with certainty the ages or mixes that make up our dogs, but we do our best to be as accurate as possible based upon our experience. **January 20, 2026, 12:45 pm

Story
LOWER FEE! Such wonderful puppies these Aussie mixes are! Darby is a 5-month-old Aussie mix who needs some help though. Born in rescue with her 7 siblings, Darby was a happy girl, living and playing with her littermates. Transporting her to her adoptive home several hundred miles away was a traumatic experience for Darby, and she arrived terrified of everyone she meets. Because she expresses her fear by lashing out, we feel a home with no children is appropriate, at least until she gets past this period. We are hoping for a home in the PA/NJ area, as we work with a trainer in Doylestown, PA who will continue to assist to acclimate her into her new home. (Working with your own trainer is also an option. we are confident that this is fixable with a little work) We need a special, patient person for this girl while she works through her issues. (update: 1/24/25 ME) Adoption Fee $150- covers microchip, worming, all vaccines, monthly heart worm preventative, monthly tick/flea preventative, spaying/neutering, health certificate, and complete medical records. Transport, if needed: $100 **It is rare that we know with certainty the ages or mixes that make up our dogs, but we do our best to be as accurate as possible based upon our experience. **January 24, 2026, 5:36 pm

Story
Scout has found himself back at the shelter after being in his adoptive home for 3 years due to deployment of his person. A family member did attempt to keep Scout, but a fight broke out between Scout and the dog in the home so with great sadness Scout had to come back to the shelter. So, Scouts perfect home would be where he is the only pet and with an owner who is either active and retired or working from home. He does have a bit of separation anxiety and panics in a crate. Due to his shyness, we will not place him in a home with children, they would stress him out. Scout loves to play and run. Spring is around the corner and Scout would love nothing more than playing fetch with the person he loves, He walks great on leash and would enjoy hiking as well. He is an active boy, no couch potato here and what a stunning man to be out and about with.

These pups are in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania too!

Story
Meet Cooper!True to his breed, Cooper is an active, intelligent boy who thrives when his mind and body are kept busy. He’s searching for a family that understands the needs of a working breed and is ready to invest in his continued training and confidence-building. Cooper can be a little unsure at times, but with patience and positive reinforcement, he quickly warms up to his people. Once you’re in his circle, he loves to lean in for affection and will never turn down a good play session with his favorite toys. He’d do best in a home that has knowledge of Border Collies (or similar breeds) and is eager to give him outlets for his smarts and energy. Cooper is open to meeting older, dog-savvy kids and other lowkey dogs.---If you are interested in adopting, please come prepared --bring a photo ID, proof of address, and everyone in the home including resident dogs with vaccination history._______________The Pennsylvania SPCA350 E Erie Ave., Philadelphia, PA 19134Kennel #3079

He’s very very energetic. He’s a herding dog so perfect for farms. Can use a few weeks of training because he’s not too good around other dogs. I just don’t have enough time for him as I am working 2 jobs now.
