Nell - 2-3 years old
Female
Nell is our newest arrival! She arrived to us only weighing 4 pounds…she was emaciated skin and bones. Despite being neglected, she is very sweet and loves attention from our volunteers. She is currently on a refeeding program where she gets multiple small meals per day. We are looking with a foster with intent to adopt home who can continue feeding her multiple meals per day until she gains enough weight to be spayed.
Biss
Male - Pug - 1 year old
Biss is the goofiest and friendliest boy with a spunky personality. He has a walking issue that we believe is a birth defect. This doesn’t affect his spirit but he does slip and slide around and he has some weaknesses on his hind end. It also does not affect his pottying. Overall, he is a peppy, happy, and playful boy. Our vet will be monitoring his back legs for a month so we are looking for a foster with intent to adopt home for him.
Hinton
Male - Poodle/Terrier - 2 years old
Hinton has been through so much in his short life. He was timestamped for euthanasia at another shelter due to reported seizures. He was seen by the vet before he arrived to our shelter and after arriving at our shelter, he did not have any seizures at first. Recently, we had to rush him to the emergency vet for cluster seizures. After receiving a blood panel, overnight monitoring, and some TLC from one of our foster families, he is doing great. He is playful, joyful, and fun. He is good with cats and all people he meets! Please note that he will likely need to be on seizure medicine for the rest of his life.
Baggins
Baggins was saved from euthanasia in Philadelphia. He came to us so shut down and scared. But he is blossoming under our care. He is sweet, gentle, and dog friendly. He would do best with a calm family and a happy go lucky dog to help him come out of his shell. We would love to find him a calm household and a happy go lucky dog for this sweet but shy boy. He has come so far and we do not want to set him back.
Dulce
Dulce has overcome so much. This sweet girl was found as a bald and skinny stray in rough condition who is now a happy and chunky girl. She was also treated for a rectal prolapse. Dulce is adorable and sweet but your typical bully breed…very stubborn and bossy. We are looking for a home with bulldog experience. She weighs around 60 lbs.
Denver
Denver is a young dog that has been with us for quite some time. He was exhibiting some guarding behaviors in the home and was sadly returned to us. At the shelter and with volunteers, he is a fun
and loving goofball. He loves all the activity at the shelter but definitely needs a firm handler. Denver will either need a single owner home or a home where both people will be the alpha. We know
we are looking for a unicorn family for this boy, but in the right home, he will be successful.
His DNA test came back as a cattle dog/sheep dog/eskimo dog mix but to us, he looks like a border collie. Denver has turned into a dog friendly boy who loves playdates with his shelter pup friends.
His play dates have been successful with happy go lucky and friendly dogs. He is very playful and would thrive in an active lifestyle. Potential adopters should have breed experience. He is also
super smart and wants to please!
Ruby
Female - English Bulldog mix - 5 years old
Ruby arrived to us from another shelter. Ruby is a great walker and loves to be outside! She is super food motivated and loves people…she loves them fiercely. Ruby has been a gem at the shelter but has shown guarding behaviors in the home. Her best chance at a happily ever after would be a single person home. She would also prefer not to share her attention with another dog. We know we are looking for a unicorn, but we think this sweet girl is worth it.
Marley
Female - Shiba Inu mix - 4 years old
Marley arrived to us after she was on the run as a stray for 3.5 months! She has been decompressing and getting all of the love with our volunteers. Marley is your typical Shiba Inu who is stubborn and quirky. She takes some time to warm up to new people, but once she does…she is your best friend who just wants belly rubs. One of our volunteers has taken Marley for a couple sleepovers and said she was amazing…a perfect couch potato who just wants love. Marley would do best in a calm and quiet home. Marley’s adopter should have experience with nervous dogs and a physically fenced in yard. Marley seems okay with cats but we always recommend slow introductions. Marley will be available by appointment only with approved applications.
Sora
Female - Pit mix - 2 years old
Sora came to us very sick with neurological issues. She could barely stand up and she was not eating. She is now eating healthy meals and walking better however, this special girl will always be a
little wobbly.
Sora loves attention and she loves to be with people. She is currently our “office dog” and she gets attention from our volunteers all day long. However, Sora has some behaviors that can be
misinterpreted because of her neurological issues. Sora would do best with a family that is home more often than not and also with a fenced in yard where she can be let out to potty frequently. Sora
would benefit from a home that’s willing to go on the journey of learning and training with her so she can continue to grow. She’s a true rescue experience and someone is going to be very lucky and
privileged to go on that journey with her…..and get to stare at those radar ears every single day! Sora will be available by appointment only with approved applications.
