Hi, I'm Kahlúa.
Sweet Kahlua was found as a stray with another dog but, sadly, was never reclaimed. From the moment she arrived, she made it clear that she’s a social girl who enjoys being around people. Kahlua walks beautifully on a leash and is always happy to soak up all the affection she can get. While the hustle and bustle of the shelter can be a bit overwhelming at times, she’s handling it like a champ and continues to greet each day with her happy spirit. Now all Kahlua needs is a family to call her own. If you’re looking for a sweet, friendly companion who will happily join you for walks and snuggles, Kahlua is ready to meet you!

Hi, I'm Lady Spots-a-Lot.
Lady Spots-a-lot is a beautiful young pup with a heart that’s growing a little bigger every day. When she first arrived as a stray, she wasn’t quite sure what to make of shelter life. With patience and kindness from staff, she’s started to blossom into the playful, energetic girl we knew was hiding inside. As her confidence grows, so does her affectionate side. She loves attention from the people she trusts and is always ready for some fun once she feels comfortable. Since she came to us as a stray, we don’t know what her life looked like before the shelter, but we do know she deserves a future filled with love, adventure, and security. Lady Spots-a-lot would thrive with a family willing to give her a little time to settle in and continue building her confidence. In return, you’ll gain a loyal, loving companion who’s ready to make up for lost time.

Hi, I'm McDoodlepants.
McDoodlepants is a larger-than-life guy who arrived at the shelter as a stray, and while we don’t know much about his past, he’s certainly made an impression! This goofy, energetic boy is always ready for action and is looking for a family that can keep up with his zest for life. Like many doodles, McDoodlepants is full of enthusiasm and could use some help polishing his manners. He will thrive with a family committed to providing plenty of exercise, positive training, and consistency. He’s a strong boy who doesn’t always realize his size, so he’ll need adopters who can confidently handle his excitement, whether that’s his enthusiastic greetings or his tendency to power ahead on walks. Potential adopters should also be prepared for the grooming needs that come with a doodle coat. Regular brushing and professional grooming are essential to prevent painful matting and keep him looking and feeling his best. If you’re looking for a fun-loving, active companion and are ready to invest the time and care he deserves, McDoodlepants may just be your perfect match!

Hi, I'm Redbull Gives You Wings.
Found in York City on Phila. St.
Hi, I'm Blu.
Blu is a handsome, friendly boy who’s ready to find a loving family to call his own. Surrendered through no fault of his own, Blu is looking for an active home that can provide him with the exercise and enrichment he thrives on. His previous family reported that he experiences some anxiety when left alone for long periods, so he’ll do best with adopters who can help him build confidence, work on his independence, or simply have a schedule that doesn’t require him to be alone for extended stretches. Here at the shelter, Blu has been a favorite with everyone he’s met. He’s affectionate, social, and always happy to make new friends. With the right family, plenty of activity, and a little patience as he settles into his new routine, Blu is sure to become a loyal and loving companion. If you’re looking for a friendly adventure buddy with a big heart, Blu may be the perfect match!

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.
