Every dog has his day!
No truer words were ever spoken.  Each one also has his or her own story. Some of those are recounted here, for your enjoyment, amusement, or heartfelt sympathy. 

New Spirit volunteers work hard to make sure that our dogs get that day in the sun!
Siggins' Story
Siggins was found in an outdoor shelter, dirty, matted and so debilitated that he could not wag his tail. The victim of what appeared to be years of neglect by his owner, he was picked up as a stray after being hit by a car. Due to his age, about 12 years, he was not a good candidate for adoption in the shelter. 
Fortunately, he caught the eye of a rescue worker and was pulled from the shelter.  After months of rehab, his injuries healed as well as could be expected for a senior dog and he was eventually adopted by a loving couple that wanted to give an old dog a good home.  His story is the essence of rescue.

Sven

Meet Sven:  Australian Shepherd (Male)  DOB-05/07/2019

Neutered, UTD vaccines, Loyal, high energy, quirky, 

Likes:
Every ball ever made. All the dog toys. Bones to chew. Food and snacks (has been known to eat raw meat when you leave unattended on the counter during meal prepping).  Sweaters/T-shirt/neck scarfs. Laying next to you for naps, or really big cuddles. Warm beds. People watching at the front door. Barking at delivery trucks/school buses that pass by. Protective of his humans but not tolerant of children. Chasing squirrels up trees and barking at birds.

​Dislikes:
Putting on his walking gear (especially his muzzle & lead to prevent pulling). Other dogs & cats. Children make him anxious/nervous. Homes with other pets.


Leo

He is 6 years old and loves the outdoors and staying busy. He prefers to run and loves his Chuck-it ball more than life itself! He oozes personality and is as loyal as they come. The owner had to move to a place without much room and would like Leo to have an acre or two to run, and can drive the dog at least partway to the right person (he is in Traverse City, MI right now). 

 Leo is neutered, up to date on shots, and has been kept on heartworm prevention. He is great with men but only fair with women and would be best as an only dog in a home with no children. He's good with cats and rides well in a car. He's house broken and crate trained.

Please contact Connorlane1001@gmail.com with any further questions or to express interest in adopting Leo.

Mila has good manners and would prefer to be your only dog as she stresses with other dogs around. She does love children, women and men.

Tillie

Tillie is a former Mill Momma mini Australian Shepherd who is looking for her forever home. She's a little gal at only 30 lbs, but doesn't even seem that big, and is 7 years old. She has some difficulties - she's diabetic and needs twice daily insulin shots and has cataracts that limit her vision, but uses her other senses to find her way around. 

She is so loving and promises to snuggle with her new family and be attached at the hip. She loves her people, including kids, and always wants to be close by. Walks very well on leash and is crate and house trained. Spayed, microchipped and UTD on all shots.

Tillie is located in Fort Washington, PA

Ollie

Ollie is a black and white, medium-short haired Australian Shepherd 1 year, 10 months, 33lb, 22inch tall and is looking for new home, thru no fault of his own. His current owner has had a change in her job requirements and can no longer give Ollie the time and stimulation that he deserves.

Ollie is fully vetted and neutered and has had some professional training. He prefers women over men, good with other dogs and children, but is unknown with cats.  

Ollie walks on a loose leash unless, excited or sees a squirrel. He is not a fan of his crate but will tolerate it up to 4 hours. 

He loves to be where his person is and loves chasing balls. He has been learning how to play volleyball and frisbee as well. He can jump fairly high and loves to show off his agility skills.

Jaxson

Jaxson is a black tri, Australian Shepherd approximately 2 years old and is looking for new home, thru no fault of his own. His current owner is looking for a new, safer place to live with the help of Social Services and cannot take Jaxson with her. Jaxson is now staying with a temporary caretaker.

Jaxson loves to play fetch, but when he finds something to play with that does not belong to him, he tends to not want to give it back unless you have something better to trade for it. He is house trained and crate trained but needs some basic training like come, sit, down, leave it, drop it.  

He needs a home with no small children until he has basic training.

Jaxson is presently living in New Cumberland, PA. If you are interested in Jaxson, please contact his present caretaker, jessicaljones86@gmail.com.

Opal

Opal is a 5 year old, tri-colored Aussie who is 17" tall and weighs 40 pounds. Her Mom has had a change in her living accommodations which forced Opal to live with another dog. The 2 dogs are not the best of friends and keeping them separated has become difficult.

Opal is nervous around strangers until she gets to know them.

She loves playing fetch with frisbees and balls, rides well in car, has learned to ring a bell when she wants to go out.

An ideal home is one with children over 10 and a family who is active and can provide her with a yard for exercising. She is crate trained, but is not a problem when left loose in the house.

Opal lives in Meadville, PA. If you can provide Opal a loving home, please contact her owner at shuttlesix@gmail.com .


Ollie 2

Ollie is looking for a new home. He is a black and white 4 year old neutered AussieDoodle in great condition and looking for a home familiar with the herding breed tendencies.

His current family has a toddler that makes Ollie nervous, with another baby on the way.

An ideal home for Ollie would be a family who has time to give him the exercise and herding dog job that he desires. Any children should be over 12 and able to understand dogs.

He is crate trained, house broken, loves riding in the car and playing tug, Ollie is trustworthy when left alone in the house. He is not good with cats and prefers women over men.

Ollie is described as hostile when around other dogs and wants to be the alpha dog.

He is currently living in the Pittsburgh, PA area. If you can give Ollie what he needs, contact Jessica
