Who has four legs, one floppy ear, spots, and is ready to leap into your arms - I mean home? It's me, Tobleroni!
Read more about Tobleroni
I am a six-month-old Australian Cattle Dog and am looking for a family that can help me navigate this big world. I am still a little nervous with new sounds and things, but after the initial shock of new sights, I leap headfirst with excitement. I am learning quickly what I can and can't rush into. For example, I know I can't rush at the cat, and now we are nice playful pals, but I can rush towards the ball and play fetch! I am really fast in the backyard and love to run around with other dogs. I also love the support of humans as I learn so many new things!
I am learning some basics, like leash training, sit, off, and come. I definitely need to keep learning because I get pets and treats when I do. It also helps me use up energy and use my mind, which is important for me since I have a lot of energy and am pretty smart. I really like other dogs, but since this is all new to me, I need my own space for my toys and food at home. I love my kennel and only bark in there if I need to alert people to a frightening presence, like the mailman. I would do well as an only dog or with others, or even with a dog-savvy cat! Although I am a puppy and like to hop around, I am still a softy at heart and would do well with kids.
I can't wait to meet you! Apply today.

LET THE HOLIDAYS BEGIN!
Hi everyone, my name is Blaise and I am so excited to introduce myself to you!
Halloween is just a few days away and that kicks off the Holiday Season for the next
couple of months. My wish is to find my forever family so we can spend the holidays getting
to know each other and settle into my new life. Let me tell you a little bit about myself.
I am a 10 to 12 months old (best guess) male terrier mix and I weigh in at about 10 pounds.
My foster Mom thinks I may be Westie (West Highland) terrier mix but regardless of what
kind of mix I am how can you not love my cute little expressive face and those ears? My
Read more about Blaise
hair is pretty soft and I am getting used to being brushed. I am working really hard on my
house training and doing very well if kept on a schedule so a family that will continue my training will help me to be the bestest boy I can be. I have not been around kids yet, but I have never meet a stranger. Kids over 10 would be fine! I have figured out the routine here in my foster home and I sleep quietly through the night in my kennel. I love playing with the other dogs and I am even learning to play with toys but my favorite is chewing on the bones.
I am so happy that I even smile, that's right a big cheesy grin! The first time I smiled at foster Mom she thought I was snarling but nope, it is a real smile! Foster Mom says I like to talk to you as well, and why not? I have a lot to say. When I watch TV I tilt my head from side to side trying to figure out the plot of the show. I am pretty smart if I do say so myself so if you are looking for a quick study that is loyal as can be I may be the man for the job.

A Note About Cats:
Aegon may do well in a home with a cat with proper introductions and supervision. Luella, on the other hand, is a little
too interested
in feline friends right now, so a cat-free home would be the safer choice for her unless her behavior can be reliably managed.
These sweet babies are smart, playful, affectionate, and already making great progress with their training. They’re ready to find families who will continue helping them grow into amazing lifelong companions!

A Note About Cats: Aegon may do well in a home with a cat with proper introductions and supervision. Luella, on the other hand, is a little too interested in feline friends right now, so a cat-free home would be the safer choice for her unless her behavior can be reliably managed.
These sweet babies are smart, playful, affectionate, and already making great progress with their training. They’re ready to find families who will continue helping them grow into amazing lifelong companions!

20. Velmah
Meet Your New Best Friend… and Treat Inspector Extraordinaire!
Hi, everyone! My name is Velmah I’m a sweet foster girl with a big heart, good manners, and a tiny weakness for snacks!
My Foster Moms Referral:
I dont know who spent so much time with this sweet baby and then let her get away. I have never met a dog like her. She is SO SMART happy and willing to make you her whole world. She is trained to not go in the house, which is always a struggle. (a little effort on your part and you could probably bell train her) but enough from me, hear it from her!
My resume includes: Professional sweetheart and expert cuddler

I’m a well-behaved girl who wants to make my people happy. I’ve already got a great start on my manners, and with a little love, patience, and maybe a few snacks, I could be an absolute superstar!
All I need now is a family to call my own.
Think your home could use a little more love, laughter, and a whole lot of pitbull sweetness?

27. Miela
Meet Miela — 15 lbs of Puppy Love & spunk !
Miela is an adorable 5-month-old female Chi mix with a BIG personality packed into her little 15 lb body!
Read more about Miela
Miela is an incredibly smart little girl with SO much love and personality just waiting to shine through! While she can be nervous when meeting new people, don't let those first few shy moments fool you! With a proper introduction, a little patience, and some yummy treats in hand, Miela is quick to warm up and show you just how special she really is. She is such a smart girl who is eager to learn, and with continued training, confidence building, and someone willing to give her a chance, she has all the potential to become your absolute best friend and adventure buddy! Please don't let a nervous meet-and-greet define who Miela is. Sometimes the sweetest souls just need a little extra reassurance that they're safe before they can show their true colors. Miela doesn't need someone who expects perfection on day one. She needs someone willing to see her potential, give her grace, and allow her the time to blossom into the amazing companion we know she can be. All she's asking for is a chance. And I truly believe whoever gives her that chance is going to gain one incredible little best friend.

Adopting a dog with children in Millcreek
Bring the whole family to meet the dog before you adopt, and ask the rescue how the dog behaves around children your kids' ages.
Teach children to let the dog come to them, to stroke gently, and to leave the dog alone while it's eating or sleeping. Give the dog a bed or crate of their own to retreat to, and always supervise young children with a new dog.
Relaxed adult dogs are often a better match for young children than puppies, which jump up, nip and chew while they learn.
