Dulce
This sweet girl was found as a stray in rough condition. She was treated for mange and a rectal prolapse. She is finally feeling better and her playful puppy side is coming out! We are looking for a foster with intent home until she is medically cleared from our vet. She weighs around 56 lbs.
Teeter
Teeter could not be any sweeter! She came to us emaciated, matted, and with a horrible smell. She is super friendly and loving. Teeter loves to go on walks with our volunteers and romp around! Everyone that meets her, falls in love. She has a beautiful coat but unfortunately, she was so matted that she had to be shaved down to her skin. Her hair is now starting to grow back and will be beautiful in no time. Teeter weighs around 60 pounds.
Cole and Piper
Double the paws, double the love! Piper and Cole are a bonded pair looking to find their furever home. One of our foster families took Piper and Cole home for the weekend and they had the best time! They went to a flower store and helped their foster mama pick out flowers. They enjoyed snuggle time with their foster dad. And they are met their cat and dog foster siblings!
These 4 pound cuties arrived to us from another shelter. Cole is the black and white male and Piper is the black and brown female. We will be looking for a foster home until they are medically
cleared by our vet because both of them have luxating patellas. They are both sweet as can be and love all of the attention they have been getting from our volunteers!
Toby
He was surrendered to us after living with his family for 10 years when his family moved and could not take him with them. This poor boy’s life has been turned upside down and he is slowly acclimating to shelter life. All he wants is to be out of his kennel and with people. He is super sweet and peppy and we would love to find him a family that can give him all of the attention he so deserves in his golden years. Toby would love a calm, quiet home where he can leave stressful shelter life behind him. He would prefer to be the only pet in the home. He weighs around 30 lbs.

***LOOKING FOR A HOSPICE/FOSPICE HOME***
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 would do best in a quiet home with no kids. Ruby was in a foster home where she became very protective of her foster family. Unfortunately she did have a bite so we are taking her placement very seriously. She would do best in a calm home without much company because she gets protective of her family.
Denver
Male - Cattle dog mix - 1 year old
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.
Oli
Male - Australian Shepherd mix - 1.5 years old
Oli originally came to us from an overcrowded shelter in Philly where his fate was uncertain and we knew he deserved a second chance at being placed into a home. He bonds quickly and while he was in a foster home last month, he became increasingly more protective over his foster dad, especially with his one roommate in particular and due to his protectiveness he needed to be removed from that foster home and placed in our shelter. Sadly like most herding breeds, they don't typically do well in shelter environments and this is certainly the case with Oli. We need to place him into a breed experienced adult only foster home or a breed experienced adult only home. He needs a firm and consistent handler(s) who will keep him engaged physically and mentally. He enjoys his walks and walks really well on leash, so he would make a great companion for hikes, runs, and long walks. A tall fenced-in yard would be ideal too because he would love to run freely and for training purposes as well, so space to do both would be great for him.
Australian Shepherds are smart, energetic, and loyal dogs that like spending quality time with their owners. While they make great family pets, Aussies need an active and experienced owner that will
keep up with them and provide them with plenty of exercise, mental stimulation and space to run and play. Adult only home is required. If there are other dogs in the home we would set up a meet and
greet with any approved applications on him. Oli 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.
