Easton, PA - Lovely dog in search of furever home!

This beautiful girl is Cordelia, a 4-5 year old Shepherd/Lab mix. Cordelia is currently in foster care because she does not do well with life at the kennel. In a home, she is a quiet, calm dog who is very attentive and eager to please. She may display some anxiety over being left alone, but it's nothing that can't be worked on. She bonds quickly with her caretakers and would be a most loyal friend.

She walks wonderfully on a leash, she's housebroken, and crate trained. She gets along with most other dogs (and it helps her to be alone at home if she has a canine companion) but she cannot go to a home with cats. She's so sweet and desperately desiring the consistency of a permanent home and family!

She's currently living with 3 kids over the age of 9 and is doing well. However, she won't be placed with anyone under the age of 13.

Cordelia is in foster care through The Center for Animal Health and Welfare in Easton, PA. The shelter is located in Northeast Pennsylvania (Nazareth, Easton, Bethlehem area), but the adoption doesn't necessarily need to be local.

If you are interested in meeting and possibly adopting Cordelia, please contact Nellie:

Sparky is a female pit mix about 2 years old. Poor Sparky has been here at the shelter since June- she came to the shelter as a possible cruelty case because her owner had been found choking her and she was emaciated. Sparky also came in with a circular patch of hair missing on her neck/back that looks like she may have been burnt. In the shelter Sparky has gained some weight and some skills! Luckily for Sparky one of our volunteers has been consistently working with her so that she does not get stressed, but now it’s time for Sparky to get out to find her forever home. Sparky knows “sit”, “stay” and “come” and is working on leash manners. Sparky is very food motivated and eager to please. She loves people and is affectionate, loves to run, and is learning how to play. Sparky does not get along with small dogs or cats, but is getting used to dogs her own size or larger. We think that once out of the isolation of our kennel environment Sparky can learn to be happy and social with other dogs. Like most active adolescents learning their manners, Sparky can get mouthy when very excited. Sparky is a sweet girl who’s had a bad start to life and desperately needs to get out of the shelter ASAP.

Gunner and Sparky have very limited time left. They are currently at a shelter that euthanizes for room. Please consider helping one of these great dogs. Please share this information with others.

Both dogs are located at the Philadelphia Animal Care and Control (PACCA/PAWS) in Philadelphia, PA.

111 West Hunting Park Avenue
