Adopt Sam, an 11 year old male beagle who needs a home in PA

 Meet Sam, an 11 Year old beagle who needs a home. I adopted him from my boss just over 2 years ago. He is a great dog. He is very friendly. He loves walks, food, attention, and being around other pets and people. I was not in school when I got him and have since decided to go back. I've also had to pick up more hours at work and look for another job. I just don't have the time that Sam needs and deserves. More info:  Over the past two and a half years Sam tore the tendons in both of his back knees. The vet told me that surgery could be performed, but at his age is risky and not necessary. He walks fine, but he can't run too much or climb stairs frequently. He only barks indoors if someone knocks on the door and no one is around to answer; in which case he stops barking once the door has been answered and he knows the guest is friendly. He is fixed. He is very indifferent about other dogs and cats. He loves to be around them, but due to his legs he doesn't play very much. He is the same way with children. He loves to be petted by them and loves to smell them, but that's really it. 
Please email for an adoption application to joansdogs@aol.com. Sam is near Philadelphia, PA.

Adopt April lovely sweet 9 year old golden chow mix in California

This family relinquished her to us yesterday, not a tear, no remorse, they just drove off. I told them I hope they would never get another dog. They adopted her at 6 mos. Form the Helen Woodward Animal Center. She is very pretty, soft, sweet, in excellent health, spayed, vaccines & rabies current, no health issues, very sweet, loving & gentle, likes us both, likes other dogs & cats, not a barker, does not dig, chew or jump. She would do well with a family with children or a couple or a great dog for a single person. They said she does not like the leash, hmm, she walked fine with us! They said she does not like car rides, hmm she liked it with us! We were amazed as all our dogs were so sweet to her, of course, Chester had to have his CHOW CHOW grumpy moment but it passed!!! She slept inside last night. I was impressed at how gentle she is with our old Heidi-Heidi has bad arthritis in both rear legs & April was so gentle with her. She liked Pappy too and both cats and our cats showed no fear of her which is the best sign, LOL_they know DOGS!!!  in CALIFORNIA, email debbie.degarmo@ngc.com. Debbie runs a wonderful senior dog/cat rescue called Heaven Can Wait!!

Teddy a Senior Pekinese for adoption owner surrender

Teddy is a male, 10 yr. old Peke mix (cream/tan),adopted from NY Animal Care and Control 3 and1/2 yrs. ago. His name is Teddy and I can no longer provide the best home for him. He is somewhat housetrained but has been urinating in the house more frequently. My husband and I have taken very good care of Teddy. AC&C would not neuter him, we brought him to our vet and he has been neutered, had eye surgery, and countless other treatments. He is food and toy aggressive so a family with older children or adult only home would be best. Teddy does not tolerate eyedrops, ear cleanings, and ear drops. He requires restraint for treatment of eye or ear infections. Teddy loves people, children, and other dogs. We have a cat and he loves to chase her, so he would be better suited in a dog only home unless the family can separate them. He needs a home with a family who can put more time into his care, and who have a yard. This way he can be let out maybe four to five times a day. Please let me know if there is any way you can help and if you need any other information on Teddy. email yoogee1@yahoo.com for adoption information.

Adopt Buffy, 16 year old female shepherd/chow in shelter for two years needs adult home

ADOPTED!!!! Congratulations BUFFY!!!!!
Watch my video!

Buffy is a Shepherd Chow mix girl, who has been waiting patiently at the Associated Humane Society, Tinton Falls, N.J. for the past TWO years! She is 16 years young and has lots of love to give!
Buffy is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, and fully housebroken. She lived her entire life on a chain, and was brought into the shelter by her owner to be euthanized. However, the Humane Society fixed her up, got rid of her fleas, and has been trying to help her find a loving home, which she so deserve.
Buffy is a dominate female and would do best as an only dog or may be OK with a submissive older male dog. She just would love to love you.

She has hopes of living the rest of her life in a loving home.

Foster or Adopt Mollie, a senior female labrador in DULUTH MN

Mollie is an energetic eight years old. The former owner taught her to sit up, lie down, shake a paw, rollover and retrieve. I am 80 years old and I have some health problems. I can no longer handle the dog. She is very active, a natural born retriever. She loves her dog house, and her leash, and to jump in the water and swim. The dog's former owner taught her from puppyhood on to sleep on his lap. No woman can have a 65 pound dog sleeping on her lap. She is a beautiful, lovable dog. Please find her a good home, preferably a man who can handle her. If in the country she loves to run free and will come back to the house to be let in." I'm hoping with this letter of recommendation, it won't be long before I'm home again!

please email: adoption@animalallies.net to foster or adopt Mollie.

URGENT! Shumai losing foster home, owner died, rescue or a home needed ASAP

CONTACT: Karen Santiago - pixieme77@gmail.com or Kim - bigkim211@aol.com

This is Shumai, a mix-breed female dog, about 45 pounds, who is in need of a new home following the tragic death of her owner (Karen's mother). She is still in her owner's apartment until the end of May, at which time she will have no place to go. Shumai is 9 years old and has only known one home so this is extremely sad for her. She also has epilepsy, which is controlled with inexpensive daily medication that keeps her seizure-free.
She is in the Bronx. She's a very sweet dog. Shumai has never been around any other animals other than random dogs who would pass her on the street while being walked. She does have a tendency to pull a but on a leash but she usually stops after a while. Shumai is about 45 lbs and was diagnosed with epilepsy in '07. She takes Phenobarbital (90 mg twice a day) along with Potassium Bromide (3.25 ml once a day). She clusters when she seizes so that is the reason for the high dosage of medication. Once the medication was under control she went a year and a half without a seizure. She recently seized this January.
I have until the end of the month to find Shumai a home due to the rapid death of my mom. If you can help in anyway I would greatly appreciate it. I just want her to be in a safe environment with people who can properly care for her. I have spent a great deal of time with Shumai over the years and I love her dearly. Unfortunately I cannot take her with me as where I'm living does not accept pets.

Adopt Little Bear, adorable llasa apso

Little Bear is a 7 year old neutered male Lhaso Apso. He is black with Brown eyes and weighs about 12 pounds. He is used to being groomed and has a great temperament and is very affectionate. He loves to lounge and snuggle. He needs to be retrained as he was used to using a wee wee pad and will go in the house if he is not walked regularly.

He witnessed his owners murder and went thru a really rough time adjusting as he was taken from the home without any of his things. I would like to find him a forever home - preferably with an adult owner who can spend a lot of time with him. He is up to date with his shots and recently had his teeth cleaned.
He has spent the last 7 years alone with my mother and although he does not show any aggression towards cats - dogs or children - I would prefer he have a similar life as he was used to. is currently in Edison New Jersey but can be picked up in New York as well.   contact:

Adopt Scooter, a gorgeous 9 year old shepherd, really wonderful dog!!

 Scooter is a wonderful, loving companion dog. He’s a shepherd mix, 60 pounds, black and rust with a beautiful sheen. He’s been in our home now for eight years and has been close to all of our hearts. Scooter is extremely friendly, enthusiastic, happy to see you the moment you come in the door with a full body wag and the permanent smile you can see in the photographs. Scooter is a companion dog, loves people and the people around him. We got him when he was 40 pounds. My son was 4 and my daughter 9. He’s lived in a loft in New York City, walked daily to my office (where other employees welcome him), and spends many weekends in the country where he loves to run. He’s good in all three In the country, he stays immediately around the house and does not wander off. I’ve never thought of a radio fence. Scooter is friendly to other animals, cats and dogs. When he is challenged by aggressive dogs, he ignores them and trots off. I’ve never seen him raise his lips to another dog. The only problem we’ve had walking him is that so many people stop us to pet him! "Oh, what a beautiful dog!"
The commands he knows are: come, stay, sit, down, off (four feet on the ground), up (on couch), get in (jump into car), wait (stop with me), OK (release command), let's go (walk with me), side (go from road to side of the road), out, and no. He responds quickly and consistently. I’ve associate a finger snap with come, and that frequently works!!
Scooter needs a new home as our toddler startled him and he snapped.  We are heartbroken to give him up but we will he should be in a home with older kids or adults only.  please email: obiebenz@gmail.com
for more information. all applicants will be screened and a home check is required.

Adopt Saturday, a very nice senior labrador retriever owner surrender

I have a Lab that I can no longer take care of because of my recent

health issues. She is a senior dog that I've had for 10 years. She's

14 years old and I would love for her to be able to go outside and be

with a loving family that would love her as much as we have. My

grandfather used to take care of her for the most part but now has

Alzheimers and forgets who the dog is and I recently had surgery so

we've had someone coming in to actually take care of her but I can no

longer afford to do so. Please, if you have any room for her, I would

love to give her to you! I have a bunch of dog food here for her too.

please email: mamamaria@gmail.com if you are interested in Saturday.  She would probably be ok with dogs and is ok with children and cats.

Adopt Coleman, a senior shepherd mix in PA

 Coleman... is a husky/beagle x...he is very good with ourdogs and cats, but he will chase a cat in play...

Pressure on his larynx causes him to cough a little....He ADORES his people/person... attaches to me at the hip! .. so someone who appreciates his affection would be needed.. he has about 10-12 more lb's to lose.. so we walk him 1/2 mile twice per day and play tug of war w/ his toys in the yard... to burn calories :o)
He LOVES his toys!! very good on a leash .. not a strong puller, but very eager to go for walks.
He currently gets 2 small meals per day and a light snack at lunch... has lost 2 1/2 lbs already....

Lucy and Austin need rescue or a home together - two bonded senior dogs

 Austin and Lucy are two bonded senior dogs approximately 12 years old.  Their owner passed away and family members took them to the shelter in Virginia. Their names are Austin & Lucy.

They were adopted out together a few months ago and have been returned. because the adopted were evicted. It is just very sad that these seniors are spending the last years of their life in a kennel at the shelter.
