Dogs for Adoption in Dickson City, PA: 20 Dogs Looking for a Home

Pebbles, up for adoption near Dickson City, PA

108 dogs and puppies are waiting for homes at 8 rescues and shelters within 50 miles of Dickson City. Here are the 20 nearest, each with photos, their story and how to reach the rescue looking after them.

Of the dogs up for adoption within 50 miles of Dickson City, 14 puppies, 24 young dogs, 52 adults and 3 seniors. The breeds you'll see most are Labrador Retriever, Boxer and Pit Bull Terrier, along with plenty of one-of-a-kind mixes.

1. Pebbles

Young · Female · Labrador Retriever / Mixed (short coat) · 18 mi from Dickson City

Pebbles is the cutest, sweetest, gentle little girl. Smaller and cuter than she appears in photos. She is only 3 years old, under 40 lbs, and has not had a great life. Bred several times (probably not on purpose) and not well cared for, this happy, silly girl is a love, once she comes out of her shell (takes a day or so). A touch timid with new people, but then super playful, affectionate, and a bit goofy, once she knows you. She should have a fenced yard (or experienced people), since she is a touch skittish in new situations, and on leash. Good with dogs and cats. Pebbles truly is a happy, silly girl, who just wants to be with her person/people. A must meet, for again, so much cuter and smaller in person and she will steal your heart, for sure.

2. Molly

Young · Female · Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler (short coat) · 18 mi from Dickson City

Molly is the cutest little thing. Just a sweet, mini-cattle dog. She is only about 1.5 years old and 22 lbs of an adorable and playful little herder. Molly is super friendly and social and good with dogs, and cats (but with cats, she needs correction from time to time). She is truly such a good little girl and so easy to work with and train, and such a happy, bouncy, fun, companion dog, although a touch timid at times, with some new people. BUT, she is a cattle dog and needs folks who understand what this means, so she can get the home she will thrive in. Way smaller than she apears in the photos and SO adorable! Knowing this type of breed is a must, for her to get what she needs, and so folks understand what a little dog like this is all about.

3. Ralphie

Young · Male · Wheaten Terrier / Poodle (unknown type) / Mixed (medium coat) · 18 mi from Dickson City

Ralphie is a goofy, silly, playful, affectionate pup. He is only about 1 year old and about 43 lbs. He is smart and easy to work with, but a fenced yard and continued training would make him even better than he is now. He is affectionate and loves to play with other dogs. could be trained around cats, but would need an experienced person to guide him. Ralph is good in any situation and truly just a wonderfull, hypoallergenic buddy. A must meet, for this boy is so much cuter than the photos show. Great active (not hyper) companion. Guessing at his breeds, but this is what he looks like to us.

Adult · Male · Great Pyrenees / English Shepherd / Mixed (long coat) · 18 mi from Dickson City

Hank is the best boy! He was found wondering the streets, either left behind, or lost, but no one showed up at the shelter to claim him. He is so friendly and affectionate and gentle. We believe him to be only about 3 years old and a lean, 70 lbs at this time. He could use a good grooming, but all in all, is jsut an incredible family dog, for folks who like the bigger breeds. Hank is good with everyone he meets and with dogs - we can cat test. SO handsome in person. A must meet, for this great dog will steal your heart, for sure.

6. Harry

Adult · Male · Miniature Schnauzer / Mixed (medium coat) · 18 mi from Dickson City

Harry is the cutest guy, and super sweet and silly. His owner got sick, so he ended up at the shelter. His coat was a mess and his hair was almost glued over his eyes, but he is a lot better now and on his way to a beautiful coat (will take several more months of good nutrition). He has clearly been fed junk and not cared for very well for a long time. He has a little vision and hearling loss, but gets around fine and will follow us everywhere. He is a diamond in the rough, for sure. Harry is 7 to 9 years old and 17 lbs of affection. Harry is so gentle and loves being in the yard or going for a walk, and would do best if not alone all day without his humans. He does not shed and loves being with his person/people. Not an ounce of agression, but we prefer no very young kids who are not super experienced with smaller dogs. He is good in most any situation and good with dogs, and cats. A must meet, for this adorable little hypoallergenic boy is just the best. So much cuter than these photos. Sweater photos show him with his face groomed up a bit. Harry will steal your heart, for sure.

Timothy is the best, especially considering the terrible situation he came out of. Left in a filthy trailer with over 20 other dogs, this poor guy did not have a great start. Yet he is so friendly and social and affectionate. He walks as if he is high stepping, and could use some weight, but other than that, he is playful and a real velcro sweetheart.

Adopting a dog in Dickson City

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.
