Note: This rescue rarely will have puppies available. Our mission is to rescue adult dogs from shelters or who may be in abusive or neglectful situations. Please take the time to read an inspirational message by Norma Gurinskas about adopting an older dog entitled "Too Old."

Baron (click image for larger view)

Baron is a typical dobie that loves attention and his favorite thing to do is curl up next to you wherever you are. He will do the dobie lean on any person that will pet him.  He loves to go for walks and as soon as he sees the leash in your hand he dances and talks to you.  Baron is a very young 8 year old and loves to play with our 13 year old daughter.  You would never think he's more than 5 years old the way he bounces Baronaround and wants to play.    Baron knows his basic commands (sit, down, stay) and just needs Baron a refresher.  Our 13 year old daughter has been working with clicker training him and he is responding very well.  Baron has never been allowed off-lead so more training with stay and heal would be ideal for him.  A fenced yard where he can run without worries would be great!!   Baron does not like to be pet with feet when he is lying down.  For some reason it scares him and he runs.  I believe this is something that can be worked on and he can overcome because I've had him in a down and have run my feet over him.  He will eventually relax.  Baron does not seem to be interested in toys and seems to not know how to play with them. He does love chew bones and will lay for hours with one.  And he loves treats. Baron should not be adopted to a home with small dogs and cats as he has a strong prey drive towards them. He is fine with older dogs (two boxers and a german shepard in the foster mom's home).   Baron is very good for the vet and will lay quietly while his nails are dremeled.   He is also very good in the bath.  He seems to like his crate and will go in there when he's had enough of chaos. Baron will gladly repay you many times over for giving him his forever home. Please contact Shirley Crumbling, (717) 309-1502, if you're interested in Baron.


Brutus (click image for larger view)Brutus

Brutus is a beautiful black, natural/docked, 4 yr  old, XL male who came to us overweight, but has since lost about 15 pounds and is at his normal weight of 90 pounds. He has the biggest, huggable, mushy face that loves to give kisses and lean up against whomever he is standing by. In his previous home he lived with a Jack Russell and they were very good friends. Best with no small kids only due to his size. He likes to make his rounds visiting everybody in the room, Mr. Personality.

His family of 4 years dumped him at the shelter where he quickly got depressed and confused as to why he was there. At some point in his life he broke his knee and it was not fixed right. His level of pain was obvious by the Brutusway he would walk in so many circles trying to get the nerve to lie down. X-rays suggest that his pain was worse than we thought; for thisBrutus reason he is considered a “special needs kid” who will always need arthritis and pain medication and a joint supplement. He will repay you with unconditional love, kisses and companionship (something no money can buy), not to mention he will kick the cute factor into high gear! Brutus is doing great on these meds, and the continued weight loss will also help him.

 This is a good boy looking for his understanding, forever family that won’t throw him away this time.  To meet Brutus, please call Jen at 717-582-7801.

If you can’t take a dog like Brutus, you can still help him. We are accepting donations to help with his ongoing medication expenses. With a reduced adoption fee and an offer of assistance toward his monthly meds, we hope to find Brutus the home he deserves.

To donate toward his meds, call Denise at 610-462-7130 or use our PayPal link.
