1. Jolene

Adult · Female · Pit Bull Terrier / Mixed (short coat)

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.

2. Krypto

Young · Male · Pit Bull Terrier / Mixed (short coat)

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!

Adult · Male · Chihuahua / Mixed (medium coat)

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. Riggs

Adult (3 years 3 months) · Male · Shih Tzu (medium coat)

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:

Could you be the one to show Riggs just how wonderful forever can be?
He’s a sweet little soul with so much love to give, and his happily-ever-after is just waiting to begin!

Adult (10 months) · Male · Siberian Husky / Great Pyrenees / Mixed (medium coat)

Fender is a handsome 1-year, 9-month-old, happy, active guy! His dad was a Great Pyrenees, and his mom, Stormy, was mostly a Husky/Cattle Dog mix. You can see her DNA results in the pictures.
Fender weighs approximately 70 lbs and is an energetic boy who loves to run and play, especially with other dogs! He is housetrained, leash trained, and knows some basic commands.
Sadly, Fender needs a new home due to his family’s divorce. He has been very well cared for and is current on his vaccinations and preventatives.
Fender would do best with an active family who can give him plenty of exercise and attention. We think he would really benefit from having another active dog in the home to run and play with. He has not been around cats or children, so we don’t know how he would do with either.
If you’re looking for a fun, active companion, Fender is your guy!

Three very special people stepped up and donated their time and resources to make sure Royal could get the surgery she needed for her broken leg. Because of them, she has been given a second chance at the life she deserves.
Royal will be safe, loved, and cared for by our rescue while she recovers.
When she is ready, Royal will be available for adoption. In the meantime, we will begin reviewing applications so we can find her the perfect forever home.
If you’d like to open your heart and home to this precious girl and be part of her next chapter, please submit an application to adopt her.

Scout is an adorable 5-month-old Dachshund mix who is ready to find his forever family! He had quite the adventure before making his way into our rescue. For four days that we know of, he was running loose in the woods. Thankfully, one very determined and caring person refused to give up on him. A humane trap was carefully set up right in the woods where he had been seen, and within just a couple of hours, he was safely caught!
Since coming into rescue, he has been discovering just how wonderful life can be. He absolutely loves playing with his rescuers' dogs and has a playful, happy puppy personality. And when playtime is over? he turns into the ultimate cuddle bug! He loves curling up next to you and burrowing underneath a cozy blanket.
He is still just a puppy, so he does have an occasional accident, but he is learning quickly and doing really well with going potty outside.

Adopting a dog in Schuylkill County

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.
