LEONE- A lovely 14 year old Chestnut TB mare. Leonne is a great babysitter with excellent ground manners. She has never been ridden but loves people and to be bathed & sprayed with the hose! She is an easy keeper too. Leonne has a few friends like Starsky who need lawn ornament/ babysitter homes as well.

VINNIE

Vinnie was rescued from a slaughter sale last week. His paperwork shows that he was at the New Holland PA. sale recently and the dealer who brought him to the sale said that he had bought him from an Amish family. Two little boys rode this pony all day until we were fortunate to be able to buy him. Vinnie is sound, attractive and fun to ride. He is a bit sour right now and deserves some down time and genuine TLC.

EMMA IS NOW EMMETT

Emma the Emu is actually Emmett the Emu! We were advised that our wonderful fowl friend is actually a male! Male Emus are similar to Roosters in that they do best as a single male with female friends. Emmett is a great guy and is still looking for a good home.

HANNAH

Hannah is the last of the Mary pup group. Her mom is a short legged Beagle, ? dad! Hannah was the largest puppy in the group, she will grow to be a medium size dog. She is now 12 weeks old and is very sweet and special. A wonderful family friend!

MARMY- A super special young lady! Marmy has a big bubbly personality that goes along with her big bubbly body! She is a Sharpei/ Great Dane cross, about 11 months old. Marmy has started obedience classes and is doing beautifully! Marmy needs a lot of room to play and run, she would make a fun family friend.

Scottie- Nicknamed Mr. Wiggle Butt by our junior volunteers- Scottie is an unbelievably sweet guy! He was living with an elderly woman in an apartment and she was forced to give him up. He is a huge Pitt Bull mix who lived with a cat and loves children. He now has many dog friends here at the shelter and is truly a gentleman! Scottie is the perfect dog for someone who wants a sweetheart dog in a tough guy suit!

Mini- Mini was surrendered to the local shelter by an elderly man who claimed his cousin was abusing her. She is a miniature dachshund cross, about 10 years old. She has a broken jaw and was in horrible body condition. Mini is now doing beautifully! Her jaw surgery date is soon and her hair coat and body condition is improving daily! A dear little soul who truly deserves a gentle retirement.

Hannah & Lilly- Their mom died two weeks ago. Her dogs were her life. These two dear dogs are devastated and really don't understand why they are here. Hannah and Lilly are middle aged BEAUTIFULLY behaved girls. They are housebroken, walk softly on a leash, are quiet and gentle and love children, cats and other dogs etc. We made a commitment to their mom that we would try extra hard to place them together. They are truly the sweetest, gentlest, and special dogs that you will ever meet.

Cindy Lu & Noel- Two very special 1 year old kitties that were adopted from us as baby kittens. Unfortunately their family did not make a life long commitment to them so now that they are no longer small and cute, they gave them back. Both have adorable round faces and gorgeous green eyes. Please come meet the girls!

Percy- Oh y goodness what an adorable little kid! Percy is a 2 year old Chihuahua mix- about 15 pounds. He has been chained all of his life so doesn't have great manners but has a wonderful fun personality and a heart of gold!

Sophie- An adorable, chunky little 8 week old lab/ Pit Bull ??? mix puppy. Sophie and her sister were found in the woods- in the middle of nowhere. They were freezing cold and hungry. Sophie is having lots of fun here with kids, cats, other dogs and is enjoying tons of TLC from our volunteers. Sophie will grow up to be a medium sized gorgeous dog!

Angel- Angel lived at the same place as little Percy. They were both chained behind a trailer with little daily care. Angel is a 1 year old Shepherd mix. She is very sweet and loving and is currently learning basic manners. For the first time in her life, she now runs free and plays with the other dogs!
