Story
Welcome to Mostly Muttz Rescue, Chipmunk! Chipmunk (from the Critter Litter) was born in a home alongside his mama, Maikong, but they were all seized and are now getting the chance to find the families they deserve. This little guy is curious, brave, and apparently on a mission to make sure no leaf is left undefeated. He revs up those little legs and launches into a pounce that would make Tigger proud. When he’s done conquering the great outdoors (or at least the leaves in it), he’s happy to switch gears and become your personal shadow. Chipmunk is a world-class snuggler with serious Velcro tendencies. He’ll hug your leg, park himself on your feet, and make sure you know exactly where he is at all times. He’s still a tiny little guy, so the yard is a bit too much for him just yet. He also learned the hard way that bigger dogs need to watch where they step. His foster brother, Hans accidentally stepped on Chipmunk, and he thought he’d found a squeaky toy.  (No worries, Chipmunk was a-ok)  Potty training and crate training are both works in progress, so his new family will need patience, consistency, and a willingness to keep helping him learn. Chipmunk has a big personality packed into a little body, and he’s looking for a family who will enjoy his silly antics just as much as his snuggles. If you’re ready for a tiny adventure buddy who will happily follow you everywhere, this little guy might be your perfect match! Chipmunk is fostered in Gilbertsville (Montgomery County), Pennsylvania and will be ready to join a furever home on or after 11/7/2026. www.mostlymuttz.org Link to Chipmunk’s bio: https://www.wagtopia.com/search/pet?id=2875949&name=Chipmunk #mostlymuttzrescue #adoptable #adoptme Mostly Muttz Rescue, PO Box 406, Gilbertsville, PA 19525PA Kennel License 10872 ##2875949##

Story
Meet Duke! At just 7 months old, weighing in at 65lbs, this handsome Rottweiler is already a big boy, and he has LOTS of growing left to do! Duke is expected to be a very large guy when fully grown.  He is a big, goofy puppy trying to figure out how all those legs work! Duke is incredibly friendly, loves other dogs, and has a fun-loving personality that makes him hard not to adore. When he’s excited to see you, or if he sees any kind of food, his little nub tail wiggles at lightning speed!  He’s a very smart boy who is eager to learn and will thrive with a family committed to continuing his training as he grows. He’s already doing great in his crate and knows basic commands. He can be rather rambunctious, so a family committed to training is a necessity.  A few of Duke’s favorite things include making new dog friends, ice cubes, pup cups, and pretty much anything that involves food. This boy is definitely not one to turn down a snack!  With continued training, consistency, and lots of love, he’s going to grow into an amazing companion. Duke is current with vaccines, neutered, and microchipped. Apply today at pawsacrosspittsburgh.com/adopt. KL 16182 ##2883637##

Story
Meet Jacqueline - Jacqueline is a sweet, affectionate 5-year-old female Bichon who weighs 12 lbs and came from a commercial breeder. She loves cuddles, snuggles, and traveling with you. Her short legs make indoor stairs too difficult, but she manages her foster home’s backyard patio steps well. Jacqueline shares her foster home with Henry, a small foster dog, and two large resident dogs of various ages. She gets along well with all of them. After less than a month in foster care, she already greets her foster parents happily when they return and follows them around the house. She is making progress with house training, goes outside, and comes back when called. She enjoys her crate, sometimes rests in it during the day, and sleeps well there overnight without accidents. Jacqueline is learning to walk on a leash and responds well to encouragement. Her new family will need to continue that training. Although her foster home has a fenced yard, this is not necessary. Jacqueline enjoys other dogs and could thrive with a canine companion or as your only dog. Although she has not been around cats or children, we do not anticipate any problems. She would enjoy children who pet and cuddle her. Jacqueline is now spayed, had a dental cleaning, is up to date on vaccinations and microchipped. If you are looking for a low-energy, devoted companion who loves to snuggle and greet you at the door, Jacqueline may be your perfect match. Her adoption fee is $450.00. If you are  interested in adopting Jacqueline, please visit our website www.lharinc.org go to Adopt and complete the dog adoption application today!

Story
Meet Kip. Kip is a husky that was rescued from a puppy mill after they were planning on euthanizing him for his "funky" foot. His date of birth is 7/9/2026. Kip is about 20lbs right now and is such a good boy. He is crate trained and sleeps quietly in there overnight. He is working on housebreaking and doing great for his age. Kip loves other dogs and cats and is in a foster home with both. He is very outgoing and loves everyone he meets. He is a big cuddler and loves to be held. He gets very attached to his people and will be a very loyal dog. He walks on a leash pretty well, but we are still ironing out the leash manners. Kip would probably do best in a home that has no young children as he is a still a puppy and a little mouthy and jumpy.  Kip is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, microchipped and his foot has since been surgically addressed, and he has healed beautifully. His adoption fee is $400.00. If you are interested in adopting Kip, the first step is to visit our website www.lharinc.org go to Adopt and complete the dog adoption application.  Logan's Heroes Animal Rescue 9411 Kings Highway, East Greenville, PA 18041.

Story
King was acquired as a rescue with the hope to be a companion for my daughter. Unfortunately, she is older and not home to care for King and the effects of King on my health has worsened along with the residual of having COVID twice. King is 5 years old, very smart, active and playful. His bark, although loud does not correlate with his love to be loved on. He understands and will follow basic commands, is house broken but may require reintroduction. He will advise when he needs to go by stopping abruptly from his current activity or heading toward a door. King is up to date on shots. He does not have food aggression and will wait for the command to eat/drink. King is also crate trained. It saddens me to rehome King, but I understand he deserves more than our family can give any more. I am willing to supply food for a month.
