Rosetta
Rosetta (Rosie) is a 6 month old, rapidly growing 26 pound female. She has a fluffy butt, striking light eyes, and a soft blue merle coat. She is eager to meet everyone, loves to cuddle, eager to play, and very friendly. She is currently in velociraptor mode, but a well-placed antler keeps her occupied.
She loves to play with other dogs, but takes corrections well. She tends to be a bit overeager to meet other dogs, but is respectful of their boundaries. She loves to chase the foster home’s dogs around the yard, play fetch, and is learning how to tug with other dogs. She lives for squeakers, as she will happily sit on the couch next to you and squeak. She is medium velcro; she wants to sit next to you on the couch and be with you, but she’ll also leave if there’s a toy she really wants. While she wants your attention, she is happy to be next to you, chewing on a toy or squeaking. She has yet to meet a person she doesn’t want to be friends with. Rosie walks nicely on a leash, sits quietly in the car, and is crate trained.
Rosetta is a fast learner and takes corrections well. While she doesn’t counter surf, she is curious about anything and everything in her reach. But, if she knows something is off limits, she leaves it alone. She has shown little interest in the foster home’s parrots or the squirrels in the backyard. She is a little nippy, which is to be expected at her young age, so home with older children would be best.
As she is a very social and active dog, a home with another playful dog and a fenced in yard is preferred. An active family is a must.
Rosetta is fostered in VA.
Tripod Trixie
Introducing Tripod Trixie! Trixie is a 3-year-old Australian cattle dog mix weighing a little under 30 pounds. As her name suggests, she has only three legs. Her right hind leg was removed at some point in her past for reasons unknown. She certainly has no trouble getting around with only three legs though! Trixie truly believes that strangers are just best friends she hasn’t met yet- maybe you could be her new best friend?
Tripod Trix is quite nervous around other dogs and cats, so she would prefer a home without other pets or a long slow introduction to any potential fur siblings. She adores people though, including children, and is even gentle around toddlers (especially if they share their snacks). Trixie is a pleasure to walk on leash, never pulling and falling naturally into a “heel” position. She is pretty low energy, preferring to cuddle and snooze on the couch instead. Her three legs are working overtime after all! She is medium velcro- she likes to be around her people and will follow around the house, but not always, and she has no problem being left alone. She is safe to be left loose when alone, she is housebroken and non-destructive, but she is also crate trained if needed.
Trixie is truly a special pup who deserves a nice home and family. Her ideal forever home would be a place where she can doze off on the couch, get some belly rubs, and hang out with her favorite people. Consider adding Trixie to your family today!
Trixie is fostered in PA.
Mozzie
Meet Mozzie! He is a 3.5 year old red merle love bug with a tail. He loves doing whatever his foster family is doing!
He adores the 5 year old in his foster home and has been great with the other two female dogs. Our cat is very dog savvy and Mozzie’s cat curiosity is getting him taught lessons he is slow to learn. In his future home he would need a dog savvy cat or none at all. He is also working on his chicken keeping skills.
He’s an active boy but settles well and really enjoys shadowing his stay at home foster mom. He listens very well, is housebroken and is such a good boy! He is working on his counter surfing but is doing very well with correction and would need continued training in his forever home.
He is a few pounds overweight but will lose the extra weight easily with plenty of exercise and no table scraps. Mozzie would love a family with a fenced yard that would cuddle him and love on him!
Mozzie is fostered in MD.

Mangus – ADOPTION PENDING – is in the 30 pound range and presently on medical hold due to recuperation from an accident. He is approximately 8 years old and semi-velcro. He always wants to know where you are and can hear you move from two rooms away. He is totally trust worthy without a crate, but will slip into his crate periodically for a nap. He experienced some time on his own before being rescued so asks that we keep all garbage can lids closed. He does not play with toys but enjoys belly rubs while in your lap and loves hanging on the deck watching the deer and new fawns on the outside of the fencing. NS3884
Bailey Blue is a work in progress, learning to trust people. She may have been abused or had some head injury or is just naturally extremely shy of people, but she is great with other dogs. This girl is a flower waiting to bloom and it will take some time to see how much more progress she can make. She may never be a very social dog with people she doesn’t know but it’s clear she will learn to love and trust at least one or two people. Bailey Blue is fostered in Collegeville, PA NS3780
