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

Please note we cannot guarantee the age or breed of any of our dogs. All of our dogs are working on their crate and house training.

Nicolas' adoption fee is $350, which covers his neuter, vaccines, 4dx test, and monthly flea/tick and heartworm prevention.

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

Please note we cannot guarantee the age or breed of any of our dogs. All of our dogs are working on their crate and house training.

Mackie's adoption fee is $350, which includes his neuter, vaccines, microchip, and monthly flea/tick and heartworm prevention.

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.

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

Please note we cannot guarantee the age or breed of any of our dogs. All of our dogs are working on their crate and house training.

Paris' adoption fee is $350, which includes her spay, vaccines, microchip, and monthly flea, tick, and heartworm prevention.

Magpie is 1 year old and weighs a little less than 40 lbs. She's a spunky, happy girl who jumps into every new situation with confidence and energy! She made herself right at home in her foster home and integrated well with the two resident dogs there. She also shares her home with older children who are too sturdy to be knocked over by her puppy hops! As a young dog, Magpie is a clean slate, ready to absorb any type of training you'd like to do with her. With just a little bit of time and training, Magpie will make the perfect companion to the lucky person/people who adopt her.

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

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. ❤️

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.

Sweet as her name and impossible not to love, Lollipop is a delightful mixed-breed puppy born in June. She is ready to find a family of her very own!
We are told this adorable girl is a unique blend of Labrador Retriever, Australian Shepherd, and Dalmatian, wrapped up in a cute 15-pound package that's still growing. With Mom weighing around 45 pounds and Dad around 75 pounds, Lollipop will likely be a wonderful medium-to-large-sized companion when fully grown.
Lollipop may be a little shy when you first meet her, but don't let that fool you. Once she feels comfortable, she'll become your little shadow, happily following you from room to room to see what you're doing. She has a gentle, easy going personality and is the perfect mix of playful and relaxed.
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!
Apply today and add a little sweetness to your life with Lollipop!

She also does well on walks and would love a family who enjoys getting outside and having fun.
And don't forget the cuddles! Underneath all that puppy energy is an affectionate little sweetheart who absolutely loves to snuggle.
Spree isn't looking for a family who expects her to sit quietly in the corner. She's looking for people who will embrace her enthusiasm, enjoy her playful personality, continue teaching her as she grows, and give her all the love she deserves.
She's silly, she's sweet, she's social, and she's ready to find her forever family!
Could Spree be the missing piece of your family? ❤️She is fostered in Union County PA.

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

Bailey Rose is spayed, microchipped, up to date on vaccines and on monthly flea/tick and heartworm medication.

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!
