Story
Maya (known as Sydney in her foster home of 4 months) is a beautiful, smart, gentle and sweet girl. She is very loving, playful, eager to please, and house-trained. She has a very short tail and when she sees someone she loves, her whole body wiggles! She is very intelligent and quickly learned the names of her various toys and often figures out what you want her to do before you even ask. She loves to be outside in the yard with her person and her canine buddy; walks in the neighborhood she likes, but walks in the woods she loves. She wants to be your best friend and do everything you ask, but sometimes the world is a little too scary for her. She can be slow to warm up to new people and places, and likes to have a "safe space" all her own. She is cautiously happy to meet most women and some men, but she is timid with older men. She therefore is unlikely to do well in a home that includes an older man, but would likely do well in a home with a younger man. Although she has had very limited exposure, she seems fine with children. She has been fine (but shy) with the cat in her foster home. She is initially timid around most dogs, but would probably do well sharing a home with a confident, playful dog, and as you can see from the videos, once she's comfortable with another dog, she loves to run and play! Maya will need a meet and greet before proceeding with an adoption. She was rescued by HART after being surrendered to a shelter; we don't know where she lived before that. She has made steady progress coming out of her shell, but will need a person(s) who has some experience with anxious dogs and will be very patient and loving with her. Questions About this Animal?

Story
Meet April, a charming 3-year-old Australian Shepherd mix who is ready to steal your heart! 🐶😍 With her beautiful coat and bright, expressive eyes, April is not just a pretty face; she’s a bundle of love and affection. Her favorite pastime? Giving warm, heartfelt hugs that will make you feel cherished and adored. April is full of playful energy, making her an ideal companion for an active family or another lively dog. She loves to engage in fun activities, whether it’s chasing after a ball in the backyard, going for long walks, or simply enjoying playtime with her furry friends. Her intelligence shines through as she quickly adapts and learns, and she’s already house trained, which means she’ll settle into her new home with ease. This sweet girl has a special affinity for male dogs, and she enjoys their company immensely, and she does great with children. However, she would thrive best in a feline-free environment, allowing her to focus on forming strong bonds with her human and canine companions. April is spayed and up-to-date on all her vaccinations, ensuring she’s healthy and ready to embark on her new journey with a loving family. April is not just looking for a place to stay; she’s searching for a forever home where she can truly belong. If you’re an active household ready to provide a nurturing environment filled with love, adventure, and plenty of cuddles, April would be the perfect addition to your family ❤️ RPACI is a non profit rescue, and currently possess our 501C3 to operate as such. Please visit us on Facebook: Rebecca's Paws and Claws in Remlap and our website: www.rpacirescue.org. All dogs from this rescue are transported from Alabama to the Pennsylvania/ New England/ Virginia area and delivered in Pennsylvania, Virginia and RI. Each dog will come fully vetted. Price also includes transportation and a Health Certificate as required by law. There is a 100.00 deposit required at the time of adoption to secure the transport crate. The remainder of the fee will be paid once you pick up the dog. Naturally the 100.00 comes off the total owed at pick up. It will be refunded if for any reason you decide you do not want to adopt, unless the transport has already left.with the dog. To get a application please email: saveapreciouspaw@gmail.com You can also visit our website Rpacirescue.org to fill out an adoption application

Story
Hi there! My name is Ray, short for 'Radar.'  That is because, you got it, my magnificent, perky ears!  I don't miss a thing!  Especially when I hear the sound of a hand reaching into a bag of my doggie treats.  I love running and playing with my foster sister so I would make a great companion pet. I also love my daily walks. I am working on gaining confidence when I'm out on walks and improving daily.  I do check the boxes for housetrained, dog friendly, kid friendly, all around people friendly and SWEETNESS.  Did I mention I sleep through the night! I warm up quickly when I first meet people and I love cuddles.  I have a heart full of love and wating for that person/family to welcome me into their home. Accuracy is not guaranteed; however, information provided is accurate to the best of our knowledge.  For more information on the pet, please send an email to info@aforeverhome.org November 18, 2025, 10:28 pm

Story
Bandar is a confident little explorer with a playful spirit and a gentle heart. He loves discovering new things but always knows his boundaries. Smart and food-motivated, he already knows 'sit' and 'go potty' and is calm and comfortable in his crate. This easygoing boy enjoys romping with other dogs, squeaky toys, and snuggle breaks with his people. Bandar’s perfect mix of curiosity, sweetness, and calm confidence makes him a joy to be around — the kind of puppy who can brighten any home.Accuracy is not guaranteed; however, information provided is accurate to the best of our knowledge.  For more information on the pet, please send an email to info@aforeverhome.org December 4, 2025, 8:29 am

Waleed is a cheerful, gentle pup with a soft heart and an even softer snuggle game. He’s the kind of puppy who looks right into your eyes and makes you feel chosen. He’s bright and curious, picking up new things quickly (he already knows sit and go potty!), and he’s wonderfully calm and content in his crate. When he’s not showing off his puppy smarts, he loves squeaking his toys, romping with other dogs, and curling up beside you when playtime is done. Waleed has that perfect mix of playfulness and sweetness that makes him easy to fall for — and even easier to live with.Accuracy is not guaranteed; however, information provided is accurate to the best of our knowledge.  For more information on the pet, please send an email to info@aforeverhome.org December 4, 2025, 8:29 am
