1. Cody

Young · Male · Red Heeler / Beagle / Mixed (medium coat) · 14 mi from Quakertown

Meet Cody!! This 30-pound lovable fellow is about 6 months old and is a sweet mix of heeler and maybe a sprinkling of beagle. He keeps himself busy--inside, following the Swiffer is a very popular activity; outside, collecting sticks is a must-do. He loves playing with the resident dogs and exploring the fenced-in yard--after all, leaves are just asking to be pounced on and plants that haven't been cut back yet are perfect places for afternoon naps. He enjoys his walks around the neighborhood and seeing birds of all sizes adds to the fun. He loves snuggling on a favorite lounge chair--as long as a foster family member provides a warm lap and blanket--plus the gentle rocking brings the final dose of comfy and eyes closed.

Read more about Cody

His foster family has been very diligent about getting him out and about for potty breaks and he is getting very good grades.

Cody is micro-chipped, neutered, and is up-to-date on all his age-appropriate vaccinations. He is ready for his next adventure--and maybe that might include you! Please email us at

3. Gunner

Male · Terrier / Hound / Mixed (long coat) · 14 mi from Quakertown

Looking for a foster and / or adopter.

Gunner is a 5 year old scruffy terrier / hound mix who weighs just under 50 lbs. Gunner landed in the shelter after having a home so he already has the hang of a number of things, Sadly, his owner fell ill and had to be hospitalized indefinitely.

Read more about Gunner

Gunner enjoys riding in the car and going for walks! He likes to follow his nose so he pulls some with just a collar, but is quite manageable with a chest-leading harness. This guy does not like crates but that is not an issue because he is already house trained. Gunner is comfortable in a home and has no issues exploring all floors of the house, so steps are not a problem. He is a cuddly guy who enjoys a dog bed and the opportunity to cuddle with people on the couch,

Gunner was an only dog but has been friendly to other dogs in the shelter and foster home. He could go with or without a dog companion. We do not have information on Gunner and cats. We would recommend Gunner be in a home more on the quiet side since that's what he was used to (no little kiddos)

If you are interested in this adorable scruffy guy, pleases email us at AlmostHome4Dogs@yahoo.com.

6. Odie

Young · Male · Labrador Retriever / Mixed (medium coat) · 14 mi from Quakertown

Good things don't ALWAYS come in small packages. Meet Odie, a 69 pound yellow lab/ hound mix who sports white leggings and an ever-wagging tail. Just like Garfield's doggy buddy in the comic strip, this Odie is super loveable, good natured, friendly, silly, loyal, fun-loving, and sometimes a bit goofy. At just shy of 2 years old, he is quite an athlete--is that Odie standing on top to the picnic table?? In his quieter moments, Odie is a sun-worshipper who enjoys bird and squirrel watching while relaxing outside and TRIES to be a lap dog inside.

Having him close by in the yard helps his foster mom's weeding chores seem pleasant--well, almost!

Read more about Odie

His foster family laughs when Odie is in the kitchen and he stares out the window--they just aren't quite sure what is grabbing his attention! Odie is house-and crate-trained, micro-chipped, neutered, and up-to-date on all his vaccinations. He gets along with all the other dogs who live with his foster family--especially the other foster dog Danny who is a favorite playmate. Odie's bags are packed (yep--with an Eagles logo) and he is ready to settle in with a forever family who can't wait to spend fall with a new buddy.

7. Jolene

Adult · Female · Pit Bull Terrier / Mixed (short coat) · 17 mi from Quakertown

Miss Jolene is all ready to find a place to call home! She is up to a healthy weight and her skin infection is all healed up! Jolene is about 2-3 years old and a beautiful brindle with the coolest markings. Jolene enjoys being with her people - she would love a lap to lay across or someone to take her for casual walks so she can sniff the ground. Jolene has done great with the female dog in her foster home after a proper shutdown. Her preference would be a laid back dog should she have to share space with another 4 legged friend. Jolene went from a dog starving on the streets of Philly, to a dog enjoying the warmth of a home. We are still working on her housebreaking as she occasionally still has accidents in her crate. Now that her body is properly processing her food, she is able to hold it longer. Jolene will be spayed next week and is up to date on vaccines.

8. Krypto

Young · Male · Pit Bull Terrier / Mixed (short coat) · 17 mi from Quakertown

Meet Krypto!

This handsome boy is ready to find his happily ever after, and we think someone is going to hit the jackpot with this kid!

Krypto came to us from ACCT Philly a few weeks ago after being diagnosed with pneumonia as a result of the respiratory infection circulating through the shelter. Thankfully, he's on the mend and ready to start enjoying the good things in life!

At approximately 8 months old and 45 lbs, Krypto is the perfect combination of goofy puppy and professional snuggle bug. Here's what you need to know about this handsome newcomer:

Dog friendly! Krypto enjoys the company of other dogs.

Read more about Krypto

Almost housebroken! He's about 90% there. You just need to pay attention to his signals. When he starts walking in circles, that's his way of saying, "Ummm, I need to go outside!"

Toy destroyer extraordinaire! If it squeaks, crinkles, or looks remotely fun, consider it a goner. Indestructible toys are definitely going to be your best investment with this guy!

Puppy zoomies included! He's still a youngster, so expect some silly antics and bursts of energy.

️ Crate trained! He knows how to settle in when it's time for a break.

❤️ Professional snuggler! And this is where Krypto really steals your heart. After all the zoomies, toy demolition, and puppy shenanigans, what he wants most is YOU. Human contact, cuddles, and being close to his people are his favorite things.

Krypto is still a puppy, so he'll need a family willing to continue working with him, provide plenty of playtime, and help him grow into the amazing adult dog we know he's going to be.

If you're looking for a best friend who will make you laugh, keep you entertained, and happily take over your couch (and probably your heart), Krypto might just be your guy!

9. Newt

Adult · Male · Chihuahua / Mixed (medium coat) · 17 mi from Quakertown

Just look at this face!!

That scruffy little beard, those adorable ears, and that Halloween outfit? Newt is serving up ALL the cuteness!

This handsome, tri-colored Chihuahua mix came to Outcast Rescue from ACCT Philly after being found as a stray. We don't know what his life looked like before rescue, but we know this little guy deserves a future filled with love, comfort, and a family to call his own.

A few things you should know about Newt:

He's approximately 2 years old.

He may take a little time to decide you're worthy of his awesomeness.

Once he warms up, you'll have yourself a devoted little lap buddy!

Read more about Newt

He absolutely LOVES other dogs, so a canine companion would be a big bonus!

He's fully vaccinated, microchipped, on preventatives, and 4DX negative.

Newt might not be the kind of guy who immediately runs up to every stranger he meets, but give him a little patience, let him get to know you, and you just might find yourself with a tiny, scruffy shadow who wants nothing more than to be by your side.

He's got the beard, the ears, and the personality potential to be your next favorite little sidekick. All he's missing is YOU!

10. Suzie & Blanca

Senior · Female · Chihuahua / Dachshund / Mixed (short coat) · 17 mi from Quakertown

Meet Suzie & Blanca, an approximately 10-year-old bonded pair of Chiweenie sisters who came to Outcast Rescue a few weeks ago after their owner was moving into assisted living and could no longer bring them along

These two sweet senior girls have already been through a huge change, and through it all, they’ve had each other. We are determined to help them keep it that way.

They are bonded and we would like to keep them together.

Both are house trained — they go outside and are also pad trained.

They are good with other dogs.

They currently live with a child.

They still enjoy wrestling and playing together.

Read more about Suzie & Blanca

They have a little weight to lose, and they’re already well on their way!

They are now up to date on their vaccines.

Next week, both girls will be getting dentals so those senior teefers can be clean, healthy and shiny!

We know asking someone to adopt two senior dogs together is a big ask. We know their perfect family will need to have room in their home — and in their heart — for both of them.

But after everything these girls have been through, we truly believe their senior years should be spent side by side.

They've already lost the home they knew. We don't want them to lose each other, too.

If you have room in your heart and home for Suzie AND Blanca, we would love to hear from you.

11. Tofu

Adult · Female · Pit Bull Terrier / Mixed (short coat) · 17 mi from Quakertown

Tofu Survived the Unthinkable — Now She’s Ready for Her Next Chapter

Tofu survived the unthinkable.

She was found alone along a creek in Philadelphia—starved, unable to get up, and covered in pressure sores that were almost down to the bone. When she first came to us, we weren't sure what her future would look like. But Tofu had something we couldn't measure on a scale or in a medical chart: she wanted to live.

And look at her now.

This girl is flourishing.

Read more about Tofu

As she has healed and gained strength, we've gotten to know the dog underneath all that suffering—and she is pretty incredible. We were actually surprised to discover that someone, at some point in her life, had taken the time to train Tofu. She knows her basic commands and wants to please.

Tofu has just finished a heat cycle and still has a little weight to gain before she can safely be spayed. Because of that, we are looking for a local foster-to-adopt home where she can continue to thrive while we get her to the finish line.

And when we say LOCAL, we mean it.

We are looking for a home within approximately one hour of our veterinary offices in PA or NJ so we can continue to monitor her progress and make sure she gets everything she needs.

What we've learned about Tofu:

She LOVES routine and does best when she knows what to expect.

About 2 years old

She knows her basic commands!

She can live with other low-energy dogs, with the proper introduction.

She will absolutely need a shutdown/decompression period when entering a new home. She has been through enough, and we don't want her coming into a new environment thinking she immediately runs the roost.

Her biggest downfall? Counter surfing.

But tell this girl "NO" and she gets it.

Tofu doesn't need someone to save her anymore.

She needs someone to finish the job.

Someone willing to give her the routine, patience, stability and love that will allow her to continue becoming the dog we always knew was hiding underneath the trauma.

She has fought incredibly hard to get here. Now we'd love nothing more than to watch her flourish in a home of her own.

If you think Tofu could be your girl, please visit

12. Picasso

Adult · Male · Pit Bull Terrier / Mixed (short coat) · 17 mi from Quakertown

Meet Picasso — the reformed “bull in a china shop” turned certified beefcake.

Picasso came to us from ACCT Philly several months ago weighing a heartbreaking 110 pounds with absolutely zero manners. At the time, this 7-year-old pitbull terrier mix was the definition of chaos wrapped in love. Since then, he has worked incredibly hard and officially reached his goal weight of 80 pounds — and honestly… he looks GOOD.

Read more about Picasso

This handsome guy is neutered, microchipped, 4DX negative, up to date on vaccines including Lepto, and on monthly preventatives. He is crate trained, walks nicely on leash, and recently completed a 3-week board and train with Gypsy 9 to help set him up for success in his forever home.

Picasso is a dog who absolutely adores his people. He is affectionate, clingy, and fully believes he is a 10-pound lap dog despite being built like a linebacker. Belly rubs, naps across your lap, and soaking up attention are his specialties. He also loves moose antlers and treat puzzles — especially anything durable because this boy is an aggressive chewer.

Now for Picasso’s perfect match:
• He must be the only pet in the home. While he initially had a good dog meet at the shelter, repeated attempts at introductions and training showed that Picasso truly prefers to fly solo.
• He has a sun sensitivity caused by years of sun exposure and his lack of pigmentation. He will need sunscreen and a sun shirt for outdoor adventures to prevent painful skin flare-ups.
• He is not a fan of squeaky toys or high-pitched sounds like smoke detectors or bike horns.

What Picasso offers in return is endless affection and unwavering loyalty. He deserves a home that wants HIM and only HIM — and trust us, he is more than enough dog to fill your heart.

17. Lovey

Young (10 months) · Female · Belgian Shepherd Malinois / Black Labrador Retriever / Mixed (short coat) · 19 mi from Quakertown

Meet Lovey!

This adorable puppy wants nothing more than to find a family all her own. She will melt into you for pets and affection. She and her sister, Valentine, were abandoned when they were very young. We promised them we would find homes where they would be loved and cherished for the rest of their lives.

Lovey is a very smart girl, true to her breed. She's great with a sit and makes good eye contact during walks; she's learning basic commands and how to take treats gently. Like any young pup, she loves to play and is her best self when she gets proper exercise. We think she'd do best in a home without young children and other animals.

20. Tilly

Adult (5 years 11 months) · Female · Boston Terrier (short coat) · 20 mi from Quakertown

Little Tilly has had a rough go recently and is looking for the perfect forever home. Despite sustaining life threatening injuries from being attacked by another dog in the home, she gets along really well with all dogs and people she meets.

While on the small side, she is all Boston Terrier. She loves to thrash her toys around, play a vigorous game of tug-o-war, and chew. Her favorite pastime is keeping the local squirrels in check.

Read more about Tilly

She needs a terrier savvy home with a fenced area to run and would do best with another dog(s) that is close to her size & likes to play a little rough. Not recommended for small children - she is mouthy and will accidentally nip a finger while playing. She’s working on this & is very responsive to being told no. It’s just hard when playing with fun toys.

Due to the trauma she’s been through, she is relearning potty training. She’s improving daily & usually lets her foster mom know when she needs to go out. She just needs consistency. Tilly is still a little scared of the dog door, but is starting to copy the other pups in the house. She LOVES to be out in the yard, but is scared to leave the gate or go on walks. She’ll need a human who will work with her on regaining confidence. She is crate trained, but is also good alone in the house for a short period (she will relocate your shoes though bc she wants to be near your scent).

She’s the cutest little gremlin that will make a Boston Terrier lover very, very happy. In between bursts of energy, she wants to snuggle - preferably on a pillow right next to you.

Adopting a dog in Quakertown

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.
