Lola is a very pretty girl who is a new arrival. She is super sweet and a tad chunky. She loves attention from her humans too! We're working on shedding a few pounds.

Sid

Male - Terrier mix - 11 years old

Sid was found abandoned at the Game Preserve. He is a little boy with a BIG attitude. Sometimes he is Sid and sometimes he is Sid-vicious. He loves to give kisses and sit on laps but only on his own terms. We would love to find this old man a comfy home to live out the rest of his golden years. Older children only for Sid. If you want a dog who has the personality of a cat, Sid may be the boy for you.

Zuzu

Female - Retriever mix - 5.5 years old

Zuzu was surrendered to us recently. She is a quiet and shy girl who walks very nicely on the leash. She is learning the ropes of shelter life after living in a home for 5 years. She is understandably stressed out at the shelter. We would love to find this girl her forever home! She is shy at first but very sweet. She loves to carry toys around and snuggle with them.

Diesel

Male - Pit mix - 1 year old

Diesel is a big ole 60 pound puppy who arrived to us from another shelter where he was at risk for euthanasia. He is currently in a foster home where he is happily decompressing from shelter life. He is a great running partner and would love an active adopter with a yard for him to get his zoomies out. He is very puppy like and we are working on his mouthiness. Once he is exercised properly, he is very lovable and cuddly! He has not been cat or dog tested yet.

Loyola

Female - Petite Pit mix - 1 year old

This pretty little pup has been looking for a forever home! She was sadly surrendered at a high kill shelter where her outcome wasn’t looking great. We took one look at those puppy eyes and big ole ears and knew we had to rescue her. Fortunately, we had a foster ready to scoop her up and let her get healthy! She’s now potty trained, not destructive, and super cuddly (not to mention, absolutely adorable). Lo Lo had some digestive issues when we first pulled her, but with her diet and no treats, she has been nothing but healthy! Lo Lo is super smart to - she already knows commands like sit and lay down! She’s easily trainable as she’s a people pleaser! She has the perfect amount of spunk and energy while having her calm and quiet side. It’s the best balance! Lo Lo loves to go on walks and play in doggy play dates, but she also settles down with a bone or chew toy. She has great house manners. She weighs under 30 lbs! She prefers to be the only dog in the home, but she does like having doggy friends. Older children are preferred.

Vixen

Female - Presa Canario - 1.5 years old

Vixen can’t seem to catch a break. We are urgently looking for a medical foster with intent to adopt home for this girl. To start her sad story, Vixen was dumped on a busy road in Philly. She was tied to a pole where she needed immediate medical attention due to a uterine prolapse. It was heart breaking for her – being stuck, abandoned, and in pain. Who knows how long she was left there? Fortunately, she was rescued and received the veterinary care that she so desperately needed. Vixen recovered quickly with us in a sweet cottage where she was able to stay calm and get lots of loving. Just when we think she is fully recovered, healthy, and happy – we noticed her favoring one of her legs. Her diagnosis showed that she has a partial tear in her ACL and will need a brace to help her heal. In case you haven’t met Vixen yet, she is a spunky girl who is a tad clumsy. She loves to go on her walks and play with volunteers. Vixen will need lots of rest and extra attention to make up for the lack of distance she can walk. She loves toys and still acts like a puppy. Once she has her brace on, it is important to have her on floors that have traction. We are hoping to find a home with carpet floors and no other pets to prevent her from getting amped up. Due to her pulling on a leash, the vet recommended keeping her in a fenced area to prevent her from pulling. She is a goofy, gentle giant – weighing just shy of 100 lbs! Believe it or not, she thinks she is a lap dog! Who could say no to those cuddles? Vixen is super sweet, playful, and fun! Vixen is potty trained in foster and a wonderful house guest. As long as you don’t mind slobber and snoring, she is an absolute dream!

Rosa

Female - Pit mix - 6 years old

Rosa is a recent arrival from a high kill shelter in Philly. She was just hours away from being euthanized. Luckily we were able to scoop her up! She is super friendly and lovable. She weighs around 50 lbs. She loves to play with squeaky balls and hang out in the yard with our volunteers. Despite her age, she still acts like a puppy by jumping around and tossing toys in the air. She is super silly and fun! Come see it for yourself! Rosa can be strong on a leash and doesn't like to walk by noisy cars/trucks. She enjoys going on long walks and playing in the yard with her favorite volunteers.
