Hi, I'm Sadie.
Hi, I’m Sadie!
I’m an easygoing sweetheart enjoying my golden years, and I’m happiest simply being near my people. I love gentle pets, cozy cuddles, and spending my days lounging, napping, and following you from room to room. I’m a low-energy girl who enjoys short strolls around the yard but mostly prefers relaxing on the couch or in a comfy bed.
I can be a little anxious when left alone and may let out a howl to let you know I’d rather keep you nearby. I also like to gently nudge doors, so keeping them open helps me avoid accidentally closing myself into a room. I’m a bit of a picky eater, especially when it comes to medication, but with a little patience I do well. Because of arthritis and hip dysplasia, I would do best in a home with a calm routine and minimal stairs.
If you’re looking for a gentle companion to share quiet days and cozy nights, I might be your perfect match.

Hi, I'm Paul Blart Mall Cop.
In the famous words of Paul Blart Mall Cop, nobody wins with a head butt. People do, however, get lots of love with a head butt. Paul Blart took his mall cop duties seriously and was reportedly patrolling around a residence. This slightly chunky declawed kitty is a bit confused about how he ended up here and is still fining his confidence, but we can tell he’s a sweetheart for sure by his attention seeking.
Due to his background, we don’t know for sure how Paul Blart feels about living with cats, dogs, or kids. The finders reported that he would snuggle up with their dog, so it might be that he would enjoy a canine cuddle buddy. Paul Blart gave an A+ performance in his duty, going above and beyond, and is ready to retire to a cozy civilian life with you.
Hi, I'm Honey, I shrunk the Boston Tea Party.
Honey, I Shrunk the Boston Tea Party is an adorable Boston Terrier mix who is ready to leave shelter life behind and find a family of his own! This handsome little guy came to us as a stray and was never reclaimed, so we don’t know much about his past. What we do know is that he has quickly won over staff with his outgoing personality and charming good looks. He is a social boy who seems to enjoy meeting everyone he encounters. He has a playful side and loves soaking up attention from his human friends. Whether he’s making you laugh with his silly antics or happily joining you for an adventure, Honey is always ready to be part of the fun. Since he came to us as a stray, we don’t know how Honey feels about other animals, so any introductions to resident pets should be done slowly and thoughtfully. We believe he would do well with a semi-active family that can provide a nice balance of playtime, walks, and relaxation. If you’re looking for a friendly, fun-loving companion with plenty of personality packed into a small package, Honey, I Shrunk the Boston Tea Party may be the perfect match for you!

Hi, I'm Squinkie.
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. Squinkie is a bit unsure what all the ‘taking pictures during nap time’ is about, but she’s sure to come around once she’s woken up!
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 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!

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.
