1. Sadie
NAME: Sadie
BREED: Golden Retriever Mix
BIRTHDAY: 2017
WEIGHT: 40lbs
ADOPTION FEE: $300
In a small town in Kosovo, a blind dog laid in the dirt. For one week she stayed, too afraid to move, in unimaginable pain from two damaged eyes. When help finally came, she was given a name and taken to a vet clinic, and Sadie's real life began.
Read more about Sadie
Upon arriving to us, Sadie was very nervous and shut down. She didn't want to eat or even go to the bathroom. However, she quickly learned to follow her foster sister outside, figured out that the cats rubbing on her were her friends, and began to trust that her foster mom would only feed and love her, not hurt her. She is very quiet, very house trained, and very sweet. Now that she's getting comfortable and feeling better post-eye removal, her goofy personality is starting to show! We can't run and play too much, since Sadie is also heartworm positive and currently undergoing treatment, but once she is out of the woods she's going to be such a fun dog to romp and play with! For now, we wrestle gently on the couch or in the yard, and she chases her tail when she gets a little bored. Overall Sadie is a very sweet, easy, and GOOD dog, and we are just happy we could help her!
***Sadie has been through a lot, and is almost completely blind. She can react (and has reacted) fearfully to new situations, and may bite if she feels threatened or trapped. It's obvious that she doesn't want to hurt anyone, but this is the only way she knows to defend herself. Her new family will need to be patient and go slow while she adjusts to yet another transition. A fenced yard is ideal and will make acclimation easier for her. Sadie will need to have daily eye drops for as long as her remaining eye is visual, but it's likely that she will be completely blind eventually and at that point the eye can be removed. This service will be covered by our rescue, at our vet or a similarly-priced clinic.

2. Graham
Available for Adoption
Read more about Graham
Meet Teddy Graham Graham is a 3yr old, 50lb, neutered male that was saved from a local high kill shelter. Graham is a super sweet boy who greatly enjoys life despite the rough start he has had since we’ve pulled him from the shelter where he arrived as a stray. Graham enjoys squeaky toys and chewing on bones in his foster home. He did well meeting the resident dog in his temporary foster home after slow introductions where they enjoyed playing chase in the yard together. Graham appears to be house broken when let out consistently and is working on his positive relationship with the crate. He was doing well with his temp foster and she could even leave him lose in the finished basement without him getting into or destroying anything. Graham basically seems like your average joe but he’s not lazy by any means. He would really like a home with a playmate to run around with, someone to take him on walks or play fetch outback before some snooze time on the catch for some tv for the evening; so nothing major but a little something.
Graham is microchipped, neutered, up to date on vaccines and preventatives with an adoption fee of $375. If you think this Teddy Graham would be the perfect furever member of your family please fill out our adoption application at: https://form.jotform.com/fairytailsrescuemd/dogpuppy-adoption-application

13. Bert & Ernie
Bert and Ernie need a new home! These are my two 4 year old brothers. I purchased them to protect my Nubian goat herd. Unfortunately they were fence jumpers and I never felt comfortable letting them in the field by themselves.
My life has changed and I have downsized my herd. This has left Bert and Ernie with no real job and unfortunately they spend most of their time in the barn.
I’d love to find a new home for them where they had more purpose and ideally one where they could be together as they have spent their whole like together.
I live in Central PA. Please reach out for additional questions and/or to adopt them.

19. Buzz
Dear Buzz’s Future Family,
Hi! I’m one of the kids at Buzz’s foster home, and I wanted to tell you about him because I think he’s a really awesome puppy!
First, you should know that Buzz LOVES toys. Like, REALLY loves them! If you give him a toy, he’s the happiest puppy ever. He loves playing with us kids and the other dogs at our house. He’s always ready to have fun!
Buzz is also super sweet. He loves people and getting attention, and he just wants to be part of whatever we’re doing. If we’re playing, he wants to play. If we’re hanging out, he wants to hang out with us. I think he just really likes having friends!
Read more about Buzz
He’s only 14 weeks old, so he’s still a baby and has lots of things to learn. Sometimes I wonder how big he’s going to get because his mommy is only 30 pounds, but nobody knows who his daddy is! The grown-ups think he might be anywhere from 50 plus pounds when he’s bigger. That’s a pretty big difference if you ask me!
I really like having Buzz at our house, but I know he’s not supposed to stay here forever. He’s waiting for his own family, and I hope they have lots of toys, maybe another dog to play with, and people who will love him as much as we do.
If you decide to adopt Buzz, can you promise me something? Please be patient with him while he learns how to be a good boy. He’s still little, and he has his whole life ahead of him. I hope he gets to spend it being somebody’s best friend.
Love,
One of Buzz’s Human Foster Brothers

20. Mysti
FALL in Love with Mysti… Because Every Season Is Better with a Best Friend!
While everyone is searching for pumpkin spice and cozy sweaters, Mysti is searching for something a little more important… a forever home to spend the rest of her seasons.
At 8 years old, Mysti isn’t looking for wild adventures or a packed social calendar. She’s looking for someone to love, a comfortable spot to rest, and a family who won’t mind having a four-legged shadow following them from room to room.
Meet Mysti!
Read more about Mysti
8 years young
60 pounds of sweetness
Dog friendly
Cat friendly
Kid friendly
Fully house trained and even lets you know when she needs to go out!
No crate needed! She’s trustworthy when left home alone.
Great car companion
Enjoys walks and exploring the yard
Up to date on preventatives, heartworm negative, spayed, and microchipped
Why Mysti is the perfect cozy-season companion:
Mysti is the kind of dog who doesn’t need to be the center of attention. She just wants to be wherever you are. Cooking dinner? She’s nearby. Watching football? She’s your couch buddy. Enjoying a quiet fall afternoon? She’s perfectly content just being in the same room.
She may have a little age-related arthritis, but don’t tell Mysti she’s getting older! This girl still enjoys running around her foster family’s fenced yard and soaking up everything life has to offer.
The hardest part? At 8 years old, Mysti has so much love left to give, but older dogs are often overlooked while everyone rushes to adopt the puppies.
Mysti isn’t asking for much. Just a family who will choose her and give her the security of knowing she’s finally home.
And here’s a little extra reason to FALL for her! A generous sponsor has donated toward Mysti’s adoption fee to help this deserving girl find her happily ever after!
Fostered in New Holland, PA
Please share Mysti! Somewhere out there is a family who needs exactly the kind of love this sweet girl has to offer. Let’s help them find each other before another season passes her by.

Once you’re ready to adopt, head over to our Adoption Application to fill out and submit the form. Once our Adoption Team has reviewed and approved your application, we will give you a call to schedule an appointment with the pet! When you arrive at ACSKC, you will be greeted by our Adoption Coordinator and taken to meet the pet, either in our Meet and Greet Room or one of the play yards. If you already have pets in the home, you may be asked to bring them with you for a meet and greet to ensure they will get along in the home (this typically only applies to dogs). If you and our Adoption Coordinator feel like it is a good match, we will then finalize the paperwork and send you home with a bag of goodies, including our “Welcoming Your New Pet Home Guide,” toys, treats and a sample bag of their pet food. If it is not a good match, you are welcome to meet the other available pets in the shelter. Your approved application will be kept on file for 90 days, so you’re encouraged to take your time before making a decision!

Adopting a dog in Cross Roads
Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the dog, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your dog in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.
Senior dogs are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate dog, ask the rescues about their older residents.
Puppies go quickly, so if you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon. Ask how big they're expected to grow, and plan for plenty of house-training and training in the first few months.
