Hi, I'm Stizzy.
One of three tuxedo musketeers, these silly named siblings ran up to someone walking the trails at Springettsbury Park and earned themselves a ticket to find a forever family! They’ve been spending their days playing and wrestling one another without a care, then recharging in a big old cuddle puddle. Stizzy was too busy getting in his daily requirement of pouncing wand toys to give a statement for his report, but rest assured he’ll be happy to make time for you!
Due to their stray background, we don’t know how they feel about living with dogs, cats, or young children, but we expect they could adapt to all sorts of homes, so any prospective family hoping for a forever friend is free to apply!
Hi, I'm Porpentina.
If you’re looking for a cat with personality, charm, and plenty of love to give, Porpentina is your girl! This sweet and affectionate adult cat is always ready to make new friends and isn’t shy about letting you know what’s on her mind. With her talkative nature, she’ll happily chat with you about her day, remind you when it’s mealtime, and keep you company with her adorable commentary.
Porpentina is also full of energy and enthusiasm. She loves staying active, exploring her surroundings, and finding new ways to entertain herself and her family. Whether she’s chasing toys, investigating every corner of the house, or seeking out attention, she brings fun and excitement wherever she goes.
Despite her playful spirit, Porpentina has a soft side too. She loves affection and enjoys spending quality time with the people she loves. Her combination of sweetness, confidence, and lively energy makes her a wonderful companion for a family looking for an engaging and interactive feline friend.
Hi, I'm Brinley.
Hi, I’m Brinley! I came from a large hoarding case, but I’m already showing everyone what a wonderful girl I am. I’m sweet, affectionate, and enjoy meeting new people, and I really like spending time with other dogs. When I recently got together with a few of the dogs I lived with before coming to the shelter, I happily joined in the fun but also showed that I have great dog manners. I wasn’t afraid to gently let the younger pups know when they were getting a little too rambunctious, and they listened! I have a lovely balance of playful energy and maturity, making me a great companion for both people and other dogs. I’m ready to leave my past behind and find a family that will give me all the love I deserve.

Hi, I'm Cooper.
Cooper is a handsome senior gentleman who came to us after his owner moved and was unable to take him along. Despite this big change in his life, Cooper has remained the sweet, laid-back boy we’ve come to know and love. Cooper enjoys the simple things in life, leisurely walks, plenty of time to sniff and explore, and soaking up affection from his favorite people. As we continue getting to know him, he has shown us that he is a well-mannered companion with a gentle nature. Now, Cooper is looking for a loving family to spend his golden years with. He deserves a comfortable home, a cozy place to rest, and people who will cherish him for the wonderful dog he is. In return, Cooper is ready to offer loyalty, companionship, and plenty of love.

Hi, I'm Grandmas Fine China.
Meet Grandma’s Fine China—a delicate treasure with a heart of gold.
Just like her name suggests, Grandma’s Fine China is something truly special. This beautiful medium-haired girl is sweet, gentle, and incredibly affectionate once she feels safe. She may be a little shy and reserved when meeting new people, preferring to take her time to observe her surroundings, but with a little patience and kindness, she’ll reward you with soft purrs, loving companionship, and quiet moments by your side.
Grandma’s Fine China would thrive in a calm home where she can settle in at her own pace. Once she trusts you, her loving personality shines through, and she’ll happily keep you company with her gentle presence and affectionate nature.
If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will blossom with a little time and understanding, Grandma’s Fine China is ready to become the most cherished piece in your home.

Save A Life By Fostering
Fostering saves two lives – the life of the animal in your home and the one we now have space for in the shelter. Our foster families create the capacity for us to care for more animals, and for pets struggling in the shelter environment, a foster family’s loving home can make a life-saving difference. Join our foster team to help pets heal, grow, and prepare for their forever home.
