Meet Riggs! A Little Gentleman with a Big Heart!
Say hello to Riggs, (affectionately known as RIGSBY by his foster famiy) is a handsome 3-year-old Shih Tzu who is discovering that life beyond the kennel can be pretty wonderful! ❤️
Riggs came from a commercial breeding facility, so he’s still learning all about the joys of being a beloved family pet. Toys, leash walks, and house manners are new adventures for this sweet boy, but he’s catching on one little step at a time!
One of Riggs’ greatest teachers has been his canine friends. He looks to them for reassurance and guidance, and you should have seen him on just his second day in his foster home — watching his buddies and happily following along on a leash! Having a friendly, confident canine companion in his forever home would help Riggs continue to blossom and build his confidence.
Riggs gets along with cats, too! He loves to cuddle and is a very sweet, loving little fellow. Because the world is still new to him, he can be a bit skittish if approached too quickly. With a gentle approach, patience, and a little understanding, he’ll have the chance to feel safe and let his loving personality shine.
At night, Riggs settles into his crate, and he’s already making wonderful progress as he learns the routines of home life.
✨ A few things to know about this handsome boy:

Meet Twizzler — A Little Sugar, a Little Spice, and a Whole Lot of Puppy Love!
Warning: Twizzler may be impossible to resist. ❤️
This gorgeous little girl from was born in June and she is every bit as sweet as her name suggests. With her adorable face, unique brindling on her feet and head, and a personality that seems to grow bigger by the day, Twizzler has a way of stealing hearts wherever she goes.
And this girl? She knows how to have fun!
Twizzler is a happy, playful puppy who thinks toys are fantastic, exploring is an adventure, and mealtime is basically the best event of the day. She LOVES to eat! Give her something interesting to investigate, a toy to chase, or a little puppy mischief to get into, and she is one happy girl.
But don't let all that puppy energy fool you—Twizzler has a very sweet and snuggly side, too. After she's finished zooming around and checking out the world, she's perfectly content to curl up, settle in, and soak up some serious cuddle time. ❤️
What's Her Recipe?
Twizzler's breed mix is said to include Labrador Retriever, Dalmatian, and Australian Shepherd, giving her a fun combination of traits and personality. Her mom weighs approximately 45 pounds, while dad is around 75 pounds, so Twizzler is expected to grow into a medium-to-large-sized dog.
In other words, that tiny puppy body is just the beginning. There's a whole lot of growing—and loving—to come!
She's Already Learning!
Twizzler is getting a fantastic head start in her foster home. She's working on all those important puppy skills, including:

Read more about Candy Litter

Potty training

Crate training

House manners

Sitting on cue

Learning not to jump

Living politely with other dogs

She's still a young puppy, so of course she's got plenty more to learn. But she's soaking it all in and discovering what it means to be a good little member of the family.
Twizzler is also being fostered with other dogs, giving her valuable experience navigating life in a busy household and learning from her four-legged foster friends.
So, Who Is Twizzler Looking For?
Her forever family!
Twizzler is looking for someone who will enjoy watching her grow, continue her training, keep her curious little puppy brain busy, and give her plenty of appropriate outlets for all that puppy energy.
She's looking for a family who understands that puppies aren't finished products—they're little works in progress with big personalities, lots of love to give, and plenty of lessons to learn along the way.
And in return?
You'll get sweet kisses, silly puppy antics, playful adventures, a snuggle buddy, and a loyal companion who will grow right alongside you.
Twizzler is sweet. She's silly. She's affectionate. She's energetic. She's curious. She's food-motivated. She's a little mischievous. And she's absolutely, positively adorable.
Basically, she's a whole bag of puppy goodness wrapped up in one beautiful little girl.
Think you can resist her? We wouldn't bet on it. ❤️

9. Candy Litter

Puppy (3 months 14 days) · Male · Labrador Retriever / Dalmatian / Mixed (short coat) · 34 mi from Lewisburg

Meet Skittles — Sweet and Colorful
This handsome little guy was born in June 2026, and he is every bit as sweet as his name suggests—with LOTS of different facets to his developing personality! With that adorable face and beautiful brindle coat, Skittles is definitely an eye-catcher.
And this guy? He knows how to have FUN!
Skittles is a happy, playful puppy who thinks toys are fantastic, exploring is an adventure, and mealtimes are basically the greatest event of every single day.
Skittles LOVES to eat. ANYTHING.
He really doesn’t care what you call him—just DON’T CALL HIM LATE FOR DINNER! ️
A few treats and congratulations—you are now Skittles’ new best friend.

Read more about Candy Litter

He’s not saying his affection can be bought, exactly…but let’s just say snacks will move your application to the top of his personal list.
Skittles loves playing with his canine foster sister, Lily. They chase each other around the yard, and he happily shares his beloved squeaky toys with her. Even in the middle of a good romp, though, Skittles takes a break to check in with his foster mom. ❤️
He also watches Lily closely and takes his cues from her. Having a good canine role model has been a big help while this busy boy works on housetraining, leash walking, and crate training.
Now, about that exercise pen…
Apparently nobody explained to Skittles that the sides are supposed to keep puppies IN.
Skittles is a MASTER CLIMBER. He can scale his exercise pen like Sir Edmund Hillary scaling Mount Everest—only Hillary probably didn’t stop halfway up to see if anyone had a treat.
So yes, Skittles is curious. He’s adventurous. He’s busy. And he has places to go and people to see!
But don’t let all that puppy energy fool you. Skittles has a very sweet and snuggly side, too. After a day of zooming around the yard, chasing leaves, investigating every blade of grass and conducting important puppy business, he’s quite content to settle down for some serious cuddle time.
Although Skittles is crated when his foster mom can’t be with him, nighttime is another story. He sleeps happily snuggled in with Foster Mom and Lily. Apparently Skittles believes crate training is important—but bedtime accommodations are negotiable.
Skittles’ breed mix is said to include Labrador Retriever, Dalmatian, and Australian Shepherd, which may explain his fun combination of brains, curiosity, energy and personality. His mom weighs approximately 45 pounds, while dad is around 75 pounds, so Skittles is expected to grow into a medium-to-large-sized dog.
In other words, that puppy body is just the beginning. There’s a whole lot of growing—and loving—to come!
So, Who Is Skittles Looking For?
His forever family!
Skittles is looking for someone who will enjoy watching him grow, continue his training, keep that curious puppy brain busy, and give him plenty of appropriate outlets for all that puppy energy.
He needs a family who understands that puppies aren’t finished products. They’re adorable little works in progress—with big personalities, lots of love to give, a few things left to learn…and, in Skittles’ case, an impressive ability to eat things and to climb things he probably shouldn’t.
And in return?
You’ll get a handsome brindle shadow, a champion snuggler, a professional squeaky-toy tester, a four-legged adventure buddy, an enthusiastic dinner companion, and one very happy boy who will think you hung the moon. ❤️
Just remember…
Keep the treats coming, the squeaky toys handy, and the exercise pen VERY tall.

While she enjoys an occasional burst of puppy zoomies, most of the time you'll find Lollipop happily sniffing around the yard, investigating the world, or entertaining herself with her favorite toys. She's already doing great with many puppy basics. She settles nicely in her crate, walks wonderfully on a leash, gets along beautifully with other dogs and cats, and even handles bath time like a champ.
Like any young puppy, she's still working on her house-training skills, but she's making progress every day and just needs a family willing to continue her puppy education with patience and consistency.
If you're looking for a sweet, gentle puppy who will blossom into a loyal best friend, Lollipop might be your perfect match. Give her a little time, a lot of love, and then watch this shy girl grow into the amazing companion she was meant to be!

Godiva is the sassy little gourd goblin, you never knew you were missing from your life! This 4-month-old lab/Dalmatian/Australian Shepherd mix is the life of the party with ears that have six different personalities and have their own Hulu Subscription. Don’t let her petite size fool you, she plays very well with dogs 3-4 times her size and weight.

Godiva gets along great with both male and female dogs, and could really care less about the resident cats in her current foster home. We are still working on housetraining, but she is improving every day. Godiva is crate trained but will cry for a bit initially. She sleeps soundly in bed all night and is the best cuddle buddy. She knows sit; currently,we are working on a few other commands. She loves toys and playing fetch.

Godiva is all around a very good puppy. She has her moments of being a little crazy (but very funny and silly to watch) and then her moments of sweet and lovable, cuddling on the couch watching TV. She is the BEST of both worlds!She's being fostered in Northumberland County, PA

13. Bailey Rose

Young (1 year 4 months) · Female · Labrador Retriever / Mixed (medium coat) · 34 mi from Lewisburg

Meet Bailey Rose — Professional Face Licker, Part-Time Bug Hunter & Full-Time Good Girl!
Bailey Rose is a 1-year-4-month-old Lab mix who is ready to find her people — and if you get down on her level, prepare yourself… because your face is getting kissed!
Bailey Rose is super sweet, friendly, playful, and full of personality. She absolutely loves her humans and is great with children. Her favorite thing is being close to you, especially when you’re eye-level. Adults sitting on the floor? Yep, you’re getting kisses. Kids at her level? They’re getting kisses too! Bailey is convinced that eye-to-eye means it’s officially time for a facial. ❤️
Cats? Bailey has experience! She previously lived with cats and did well with them.
When it comes to other dogs, Bailey has a little more to say. She does enjoy other dogs, but she really loves having her humans all to herself. Because of that, a home without other dogs would likely be ideal, or she would do well with a very dog-savvy owner who understands canine body language and is willing to continue working with her on respecting another dog’s personal space.
Outside is where Bailey’s inner hunter comes out. She LOVES chasing bugs and flies, and we have a feeling that if given the chance, bunnies and squirrels would quickly become her next targets. ️
Bailey is crate trained AND house trained! She also has a hilarious little habit of “borrowing” slippers, shoes, and the kids’ toys. The good news? She doesn’t destroy them — she just seems to think everything in the house might actually belong to her.
When Bailey gets excited to see you, she may softly jump up to say hello. We’re working on her manners, and she’s learning that four paws on the floor is the way to go.
Bailey is the whole package: sweet, affectionate, playful, goofy, and incredibly loving. She’s the kind of dog who will keep you laughing, keep you company, and probably keep you wondering where your other slipper went.
Could Bailey Rose be your new best friend?
Please share Bailey’s story. Her person may be scrolling right past this post right now. ❤️

Lucy May is a 1-year-old mixed breed with the cutest combination of big blue eyes, a scruffy coat, and a personality that will steal your heart! We think she may have some Lab and Terrier in her mix, but whatever she is, she’s 100% adorable.
Lucy May is a sweet, loving, and happy girl who loves being with her people. Lucy has enjoyed the company of grandchildren of different ages. She absolutely enjoys going for walks and hikes and would love an active family who will include her in their adventures. She plays wonderfully with other dogs and has plenty of youthful energy for a good romp and play session.
She is housetrained and crate trained and has done well when crated for shorter periods; although, so far she has only spent about three hours at a time in her crate.

Read more about Lucy May

May not do well, crated for LONG PERIODS. She doesn't appear to be destructive if she has been exercised. Her foster family has noticed that Lucy May occasionally likes to check out what’s happening on the kitchen counter, but they’re working on reminding her that countertops are off-limits.
No food aggression has been observed, and Lucy May is simply a fun, affectionate girl who loves life and loves her people.
Lucy May would be happiest with an active owner or family who has time to give her plenty of exercise, attention, and fun—and ideally, a safe place where she can run and stretch those four happy legs!

16. Sophie

Puppy (7 months) · Female · Pug / Mixed (short coat) · 45 mi from Lewisburg

Lewistown, PA Kennel License # 18167, Sophie is a young pug, possibly mixed with chihuahua, who came to ODAAT painfully skinny. With good care and love, she is now back to a healthy weight and full of joyful energy. She is a high‑activity girl who loves movement, car rides, and being part of whatever is happening. Sophie gets super wiggly when held and is often too excited to sit still, but that enthusiasm comes from a heart that is ready to bond deeply once she knows she is truly home. She would happily play with toys and needs help with potty training, especially after previously being kept in a crate for long hours.

Read more about Sophie

Surrendered by her owner, Sophie is discovering what real companionship feels like. She has every bit of potential to grow into a snuggly, devoted little shadow for the right family. She would thrive in a home that enjoys activity as much as she does and can help her channel her energy in positive, fun ways. With patience, structure, consistency and love, she will blossom into the wonderful companion she was always meant to be.

Bella spent her days living on the streets alongside the homeless, and despite everything she has been through, she has remained a sweet, loving soul. She would do perfectly well as an only dog, but if she were to have dog siblings, a meet‑and‑greet would be required. Smaller dogs tend to be the best match for her, as she is not crazy about big dogs. Bella travels well, enjoys riding in the car, is crate trained, and likes toys. She is not high energy and has a calm, affectionate personality. Above all, she is a total love bug who will make a wonderful companion for someone ready to give her the stable, caring home she deserves.

18. Nicolas

Adult (3 years 2 months) · Male · Havanese / Poodle (unknown type) / Mixed · 47 mi from Lewisburg

Age: 3 years

Size: 11 lbs

Estimated breed: Havanese/Poodle mix

Lives with: Dogs, cats, older kids

From my foster:
Nick is a sweet and active little dog. As soon as I met him, he started giving me kisses. He has adapted quickly in his foster home with much larger, 15-year-old dog, Sami, and two cats. He wants to get to know the female cat, but she denies him her friendship! He retreats to his crate when rejected by her. He is always curious and friendly with both pets.

Read more about Nicolas

Chew toys are important to him. He takes them all to his bed, along with the older dog’s worn-out stuffed animals. And you might find that he hoarded a sock in there! He likes small toys, including Kongs and hardened bones. Sometimes he runs circles around the house, throws and chases the Kong, even engages old Sami in a bit of fun chasing. He does object to her taking his bone, rightfully so. He explores the back yard more every day and likes to be outside. When he’s done playing and running, he naps!

Nick quickly learned to go for walks with and without the other dog and adapted well to wearing a harness.

He hasn’t been timid when meeting my young granddaughter and the neighbors: he went right up to them to be petted. He loves affection and gives it back. So far, he appears to be house trained, but it’s only been three days, as I write this, so no guarantees. He easily accepts being in his crate when I leave the house.

This little guy could be an only dog with people who will give him lots of attention and play with him, or he could live with other friendly dogs and cats. Children should probably be 10 years and older, due to his size.

From abandoned to treasured, Nicolas is ready for his new start! Our southern shelter partner witnessed Nicolas being left in a crate, inside a dog park in front of the shelter after hours. Thank goodness a volunteer was there to witness this happening, otherwise Nicolas would have spent the night terrified and alone in a crate outside. Fortunately, he was quickly secured and brought to the safety of a local foster home!

Nicolas is 3-years old and weighs around 11 lbs. He is a shy but friendly little guy who gets comfort from humans, dogs, and cats alike! In his SC foster home, he actually befriended an indoor pig and was often caught cuddling on a dog bed with his swine bestie. Nicolas has super soft fur and doesn't shed much, but we'll never promise that he's "hypoallergenic" since we don't know for sure what he's mixed with. Nicolas would love a home with a friendly dog or cat in residence to help show him the ropes and give him confidence, but he might do okay as the only dog too, as long as his humans are patient and give him time and space to flourish.

To adopt Nicolas, please apply on our website! https://www.nirvanaanimalrescue.org/adoption-application

19. Mackie

Adult (3 years) · Male · Chihuahua / Pomeranian / Mixed · 47 mi from Lewisburg

Age: 3 years

Size: 6.2 lbs

Estimated breed: Chihuahua/Pomeranian mix

Compatible with: Cats, small/gentle dogs

Meet Mackie, the chillest little guy! After being found as a stray in Kensington, he was taken to ACCT Philly. We're not quite sure how such a tiny little guy found himself alone in the big city of Philadelphia, but we're so glad he's safe with us now!

Read more about Mackie

Mackie is 3 years old and weighs 6 lbs. He is a super chill, easy-going little guy. He is shy at first with new people and dogs but makes friends after a few minutes! Like your typical chihuahua, he bonds quickly and fiercely to his people and is the stereotypical lap dog. Mackie has met cats and been unphased by them, even ignoring one who hissed loudly in his face. He's met several dogs and loves ones who are his size and on the gentle side like him! He's not a fan of the crate and would much rather be with you, touching you, on you, etc. He's done well with pottying outside but does mark inside, so he wears a belly band currently. Once he's neutered on Oct 27, this behavior should significantly decrease or cease entirely! Due to his small and delicate size, he will not be placed with children under 10 years old.

Mackie will be neutered on October 27 and ready to join his forever family then. To adopt Mackie, please apply on our website! https://www.nirvanaanimalrescue.org/adoption-application

20. Paris

Adult (2 years 2 months) · Female · Chihuahua / Dachshund / Mixed · 47 mi from Lewisburg

Age: 2 years

Size: 9 lbs

Estimated breed: Chihuahua/Dachshund/Miniature Pinscher mix

Must have friendly resident dog in the home already

Paris entered the shelter in August along with 20 other dogs who were confiscated from a home. That same night, she gave birth to 4 tiny puppies! We quickly got her into foster care, where she diligently raised her puppies. Now that they have joined foster-to-adopt homes, it's Paris' turn to find a forever family!

Read more about Paris

Paris is around 2 years old, weighs 9 lbs, and is an estimated chihuahua/dachshund/miniature pinscher mix. She is a shy but always sweet girl who thrives when she's surrounded by other dogs, so she'll need a home with at least one other friendly dog! Once she warms up, get ready for a constant companion who demands pets and cuddles all the time! Paris loves giving kisses, getting belly rubs, and just generally being on, around, and near her people at all times. Once cuddle time is over, she'll make herself comfortable in her nesting dog bed, but be careful - she's a constant burrower and you'll often have to peel back multiple layers of blankets to find where she's hiding! Paris is comfortable in the crate overnight and when foster mom leaves the house, but she'd also be very happy to join you in bed if that's more your style. She's doing very well with house training, but sometimes she forgets to go when outside because she's too busy begging for your attention. She does well with frequent breaks and monitoring when she's outside to make sure she handles business!

Paris is in foster care with five other dogs of all different shapes and sizes. She does well with them all, and can often be found cuddling up to them on the couch or trying to invite play, even with the much larger pittie! Paris must be placed in a home with at least one friendly resident dog, but her ideal home would have at least two or three other dogs in it. She thrives in the comfort of a pack! Since she is shy, children must be aged 10 or up. We have not seen her with cats but can test her with them for an approved adopter.

Paris will be spayed on December 15, after which she'll be ready to join her own forever family.

Adopting a dog in Lewisburg

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.
