Story
We love Opal but our living situation has changed and my long work hours are not fair to her. She is blind in one eye and has a numbed leg from before we got her. It has not affected her mobility. She’s a seeet girl. Would be best with older kids that understand how small she is.

Story
Looking for a loyal adventure buddy with the cutest radar ears ever? Meet Toby, our longest resident! This sweet and smart 4-year-old, 52 lb shepherd mix is ready for a lifetime of outdoor fun with his forever family. Toby has completed professional training and is now ready to show off his amazing manners and love for adventure. Toby is affectionate, enjoys meeting new people, and has lived with children before. For the best match, we recommend a home with older kids, though he’s been around smaller children and does well with them, he can try to be boss. Toby is friendly with other dogs but can be selective—he prefers dogs that are more laid-back, as he can be dominant in play. His stance on cats is still unknown. An active family is ideal for Toby, as he thrives with enrichment and exercise. He’s learned a lot during his time with Gypsy K9 Solutions and would be an excellent hiking buddy or partner for any outdoor activities. While he came to training with some guarding tendencies, he’s made incredible progress and now responds beautifully to the “release” command. A strong, consistent owner who continues his training will help him thrive in his new home. Toby is house and crate trained, and he’s trusted to be left out of the crate when home alone. He’s neutered, up to date on vaccines, preventatives, and is a heartworm survivor—now negative! Toby is currently hanging out with our friends at Gypsy K9 Solutions in Gettysburg, PA. Apply today, and once approved, you can meet this incredible guy and see firsthand all the amazing skills he’s mastered!

Story
Another mile stone holiday, and Sir Fredrickson is heartbroken to not have found his forever family. He felt so much love and celebrated like a champ with his foster family in the mean time. Over the holiday break there are some gift substitutions we realized Fred could do better than the original. Heated weighted blanket? Home surveillance? Roomba vacuum? Small critter deterrent? Body pillow? Fred can do them all better! If you are interested in meeting Fred, he would love to prove to you how smart and loving he is! He loves walks, car rides and cuddles of any kind! He is crate trained, housebroken and WITH supervision, can be left out off leash to potty. He adores kids/people and does great with dogs but is very playful. Fred's foster momma thinks he is about 2 years old, 60# and calls him a White Crested Snuggle Pit when everyone asks what breed he is   Patiently waiting in Carlisle PA!

Story
Meet Kai, a 10-month-old male shepherd mix with a heart full of energy and a love for life! At 40 lbs, Kai is a bundle of joy who’s ready to find his forever family. He’s house and crate trained, but being a young pup, he’s still working on refining some of those puppy behaviors, like jumping. With patience and consistency, he’s sure to thrive. Kai is an active boy who loves playing hard with other dogs, so he’d do well in a home with a playful canine companion. He’s also great with kids and would make a fantastic addition to a family looking for a fun, energetic dog. While he hasn’t been tested with cats, we believe he’d do best in a home with other dogs or older, more active children. Toys are Kai’s absolute favorite, especially brain games that challenge him and keep him engaged. He’s neutered, current on vaccines, and ready to start his next chapter with a family that can keep up with his high-energy needs. Kai is fostered in Harrisburg, PA. If you’re looking for a fun-loving, energetic companion, apply today to meet this adorable, sweet boy!

Story
Meet Disney, a sweet Shepherd/Lab mix who’s ready to start the next chapter of her life—one filled with love and fun. At 2 years old and 55 lbs, Disney is a playful, social, and affectionate girl who’s spent her past caring for her 11 puppies, but now it’s her time to shine. “The past is in the past,” and Disney is eager to leave her mom duties behind and find a family who will adore her for the rest of her days. She’s great with kids and other dogs, and while her history with cats is unknown. Her friendly nature and “Hakuna Matata” spirit suggest she could get along with any family. Disney is house and crate trained, so she’s ready to be a well-behaved member of your family. As she loves to snuggle and be playful, she’ll always be by your side, reminding you that “a little consideration, a little thought for others, makes all the difference.” If you’re ready to offer Disney the forever home she deserves, she’s waiting for you with an open heart. “A dream is a wish your heart makes,” and Disney’s dream is to find a family who will love her unconditionally. Will you be the one to make her dream come true? Disney is current with vaccines, heartworm negative, and will be spayed before adoption.
