18. Delta
Female · Australian Kelpie / Mixed · 15 mi from New Holland





Meet Delta Just look at those adorable ears! Delta is a precious 1–2-year-old girl weighing about 25 pounds, and she is still very much a puppy at heart! She has some puppy energy to burn and is always ready for fun and adventure Delta loves being outside, taking long walks, and playing with the other dogs. She also enjoys spending time with people and soaking up all the attention and affection they are willing to give her. Because Delta is an active young girl, she would do best with an active family and a securely fenced yard where she can run, play, and enjoy being a dog. She has so much love and personality to share and is ready to find a family who will continue to help her grow into the wonderful companion she is meant to be. Delta is HW negative!

19. Jane
Female · Labrador Retriever / Mixed · 15 mi from New Holland




Jane Female 39 lbs 1-3 YO HW positive Our Little Bookworm! Jane must be a pretty smart girl because Jane was picked up at the local library after this sweet girl wandered inside and decided to do a little exploring! We have no idea what Jane was looking for… maybe a book about finding the perfect family? Unfortunately, Jane’s library adventure landed her at the shelter, and although it was clear she had a family at some point, sadly, no one ever came to claim her. Jane is such a gentle, loving girl. She walks beautifully on a leash and gets along wonderfully with the other dogs. She truly seems to be the kind of girl who would make a wonderful companion and just wants someone to love her. Jane is heartworm positive, so she will need to complete treatment before she can travel to her new home. We are looking at October for her arrive to PA. After all, every good book deserves a happy ending… and Jane’s story is still being written.

20. Kelsey
Female · Hound / Mixed · 15 mi from New Holland







Meet Kelsey — A Little Girl Who Has Been Through So Much
Read more about Kelsey
Kelsey is a 2–4-year-old female came in weighing just 20 pounds, and she was very underweight. She was picked up by Animal Control on a rural road, and it appears she had been on her own for quite some time. Kelsey was skin and bones and had abrasions on her head and back. We can only imagine what she has been through or how she ended up in this condition. Despite everything, this sweet girl is still happy and friendly with the volunteers. She has worked extremely hard at recovery and has gained some much-needed weight. The good news is that Kelsey is heartworm negative and spayed! Getting Kelsey into the shelter and securing a foster may have saved her life, but now she needs the next step - a home to call her own. She has already fought so hard just to survive. Now she deserves the chance to recover and finally know what it feels like to be safe, loved, and cared for.
