Story
Hello! This is Arlo. He is a sweet boy who loves to play. He was found on the side of the road and after an extensive search for his humans, he came to live with me as a foster. I have 3 cats and he is slightly afraid of them but definitely wants to play with them. He is still a pup so we are working on potty training and everyday manners. He would LOVE a home with a big fenced in yard where he can run until his little legs give out. He has had up close interaction with small dogs and he did okay. He currently has crate time when I am at work and he does just fine. He doesn't love going into it but once he is in, he's ok. Since he is a foster pet, I do have a lot of dog related items that I will no longer need once he finds his furever home including: his toys, his dog bed, his large crate, his leash, all of his crate accessories, his food and water bowls, etc. These items will be included with him-I know it's a lot taking on a pup so this will hopefully help!

I dont know what to do,I just cant keep him anymore I would like to have someone who is experienced and raising red nose Pitbulls Or dogs that have aggression towards other dogs hes two years old born November 15 2022 he’s a really sweet dog loves to cuddle love sleeping in the bed. He loves going on trail walks. He doesn’t know his strength so I’ll have him play around teenagers or middle schoolers probably in seventh grade. He’s very vocal cries when he doesn’t get his way that’s all I have to say I’ve been taking care of him for two months, I can’t take care of him anymore, but I really do love him and I want to find him a home

Story
Meet Spindle, the heart-stealing tripod with a gorgeous brindle coat! This resilient boy doesn't let anything slow him down, not even missing a leg! Spindle is a treat enthusiast who has mastered the basics- "sit," "come," and "down"-all for a tasty reward. His love for squeaky toys knows no bounds; he's always up for playtime, showing that his spirit is as indomitable as ever. Crate-trained and ready for a comfy night in his own space, Spindle does face challenges with stairs, making him the perfect companion for a stair-free home. He can be discerning with his dog friends, so we would want to have a canine meet-and-greet before adoption. Spindle also isn't the biggest fan of cats, so we wouldn't recommend taking him home if you have a feline companion. But if you're looking for unconditional love and a loyal friend who's all about joy in the simple pleasures, Spindle is your guy.

Meet our lover boy, Cainon! Cainon is a bit on the nervous side and is a bit sensitive to touch, mostly on his head, so his new family needs to be able to allow Cainon of his boundaries. Despite not being pet on his head, Cainon LOVES cuddle time. He enjoys melting into the laps of those he loves. Cainon has tons of energy and is a bit of a Houdini when it comes to the art of escape--he's ready to keep you on your toes! If you're looking for the kindest gentleman of the century, come adopt Cainon now! Humane Animal Rescue of Pittsburgh East End- 6926 Hamilton Ave. Pittsburgh, Pa 15208 Kennel License #: 1043

Meet Athena! This beautiful girl has been with us a while, but is ready to blow this popsicle stand once and for all! She can be a bit of an anxious girl, but when allowed to come out of her shell at her own pace and given lots of love she'll be your new best friend in no time. Athena can also be quite vocal when she sees other dogs--an adopter that is willing to be patient with her and work with her on her reactivity is a must! We're not sure how she feels about cats or small children, but we do know that she enjoys chasing birds. Stop in to introduce yourself to Athena today!

Story
Mmmbop, ba duba dop--it's Hanson! Hanson came to us as a stray back in December of 2023. In his months here at HARP we have learned that he is a playful, happy boy with lots of energy! Since he has been with us, he has shown us that he is a good boy on walks (though he gets very excited getting ready for one!) and loves playing with other dogs. Hanson has spent some time in our foster program and was described to be a very friendly and loving boy! He has also done great for field trips to Frick Park, though oh boy did he want to chase those squirrels! He is a scholar in our "Best Paw Forward" Program which provides behavior training and assistance while he transitions into his new home! Come meet this bundle of joy and give him the home he's been waiting all these months for. Humane Animal Rescue of Pittsburgh East End- 6926 Hamilton Ave. Pittsburgh, Pa 15208 Kennel License #: 1043
