Jaida (formerly Potter) joined the HOPE Program on Friday 2/24/2023. She is approximately 7 years old and is sponsored by Canine Rescue of Central PA, Kennel License #3443. Jaida is joining the Program after she and her family worked REALLY hard to help her adjust to a new baby in the house. Unfortunately, she prefers the companionship of older kids (10 years and over) to that of an infant or toddler. Jaida has a HIGH PREY DRIVE and will give chase to small critters, so she shouldn’t live with cats, birds, guinea pigs, etc. The smaller and squeakier, the more interested Jaida gets! She and her family put in a lot of time and work, so she’s already a very well behaved girl. She loves going for walks and hikes, but prefers not to be bombarded by off leash dogs. After all, she’s a well mannered gal and expects her friends to be the same! Jaida is also muzzle trained for trips to the vet and groomers too! If you're interested in adopting Jaida, please review her future home requirements, and if you think your home would suit her needs, click that "Apply to Adopt Jaida" button below! -Jaida NEEDS to be an ONLY PET , as she has a HIGH PREY DRIVE and does like dogs in her face -Jaida will NOT be adopted into a home with kids under the age of 10 -Jaida loves going for walks, so while a fenced yard is great, she'd like a family to take her on hikes and adventures -Jaida would also prefer a calm and quiet home , not one with a lot of guests or busy activities. Jaida is sponsored by CRCPA, Canine Rescue of Central PA and her adoption fee is $350. Dog for adoption - Jaida, a Rottweiler in Dillsburg, PA | Petfinder

Meet the new kid on the (prison) block–Rocco! Rocco joined HOPE on August 26, 2022. This sweet and adorable boy comes to us from our good friends at Canine Rescue of Central PA . Rocco has not had an easy life. He was left in a southern shelter where he was on the kill list. Thankfully, he was saved in the nick of time by Canine Rescue of Central PA . Several months later, he was adopted for a total of 36 hours and then returned, because he had “too much energy.” He has been at the rescue’s kennel for almost two years, waiting for someone to adopt him. Well. . . Rocco’s luck just changed! He entered the prison this morning all wiggles and wags and so happy to meet everyone. Rocco’s handler is thrilled to have another dog to train, and we think they will make a great team. Stay tuned for updates on this hunk-a-burnin’ love! Rocco’s PetFinder Profile can be found here: Dog for adoption - Rocco, a Pit Bull Terrier in Dillsburg, PA | Petfinder If you're interested in adopting Rocco, please review his future home requirements, and if you think your home would suit his needs, click that "Apply to Adopt Rocco" button below! -Rocco can be quite bossy with other dogs, so multiple meet and greets with your dog(s) would be a requirement before adoption. If you have cats, a meet and greet would be required before adoption too. -Speaking of bossy, Rocco also likes to hear himself bark, and he barks a lot! So if you’re looking for a quiet dog or live in an apartment or townhouse with thin walls, everyone will know that Rocco now lives with you! -Rocco has gained a little bit (a lot) of weight since joining HOPE, so he’s going to need an active family will provide him with LOTS of activity and continue to monitor his weight. -Rocco is also on a special prescription diet due to his sensitive digestive system. He doesn’t like to admit that he’s sensitive, but this is something to take into consideration, as a prescription diet can be expensive (roughly $100/month just for his food). Rocco is sponsored by CRCPA, Canine Rescue of Central PA, and his adoption fee is $350. Canine Rescue of Central PA, Kennel License #3443.

Meet Hazel! Hazel is approximately 2 year old, and is thought to be a German Shepherd mix girl. Her coat is a gorgeous caramel brindle and so very soft. Miss Hazel joined HOPE on 11/04/2022 and we are looking forward to learning more about her as she progresses with her training. Hazel spent about a year with Canine Rescue of Central PA . She did not spark a lot of interest from potential adopters, but the volunteers at the rescue just love her! She is an active girl who loves going for walks, playing with toys, especially her purple egg, which as you can see she likes taking everywhere, and pretty much any activity that involves being outside! If you’re an active family looking for a furry family member, Hazel might be your girl! Hazel’s PetFinder Profile can be found here: Dog for adoption - Hazel, a Pit Bull Terrier Mix in Dillsburg, PA | Petfinder If you're interested in adopting Hazel, please review her future home requirements, and if you think your home would suit her needs, click that "Apply to Adopt Hazel" button below! -Hazel NEEDS to be an only pet, and therefore will NOT be adopted into a home with another dog, cat, or other small animals. -Hazel is a HIGH ENERGY dog, and plays VERY HARD. This is something we’ve worked on during her time in HOPE, and while her possessive behavior with toys has improved, we would not be comfortable adopting Hazel into a home with young kids. -Hazel would love if her family got her enrolled in some sort of dog sport, like agility. She needs an active family that will provide her with daily exercise, beyond a walk around the block. This girl would LOVE hiking and climbing rough terrain with you! Hazel is sponsored by CRCPA, Canine Rescue of Central PA, and her adoption fee is $350. Canine Rescue of Central PA, Kennel License #3443.
