*Special Request* Casper is a one-year-old pit bull mix from Louisiana with a big personality and an even bigger heart. Full of energy, curiosity, and playfulness, he’ll benefit from structure and guidance to help him grow into his best self.
Because Casper is deaf, he needs an experienced dog owner who can communicate using visual cues, hand signals, and positive reinforcement. He does well with older children and must meet any kids in the home before adoption to ensure a safe, respectful connection. Casper should also meet any resident dogs to confirm compatibility. He cannot live in a city or apartment setting and will thrive in a quieter environment where he can focus, explore, and feel secure.
With the right leadership and setting, Casper has all the potential to become a loyal, joyful companion. He’s searching for a home ready to embrace his unique needs and his boundless spirit.
Three-year-old Terrier/Labrador mix Lucky is getting some extra snugs and hugs from Animal League America’s Team Leader Chris. Lucky’s owner recently passed away, and unfortunately, the family couldn’t give Lucky the care he needed. But as you can see… Lucky was LOVED! Let’s help this handsome fella be part of a loving family again. Who knows… maybe the ‘Lucky’ one will be you!
This six-month-old Lab/Terrier mix with the most adorably floppy ears arrived from Texas absolutely terrified of the world around him. Ollie once cowered in corners, unsure if it was safe to trust. But with patience, consistency, and a whole lot of love from our team, this brave boy has had the most incredible glow-up. Now? Ollie happily trots right up to say hello to new friends – ears flopping, tail wagging, eyes bright. He’s discovered the joy of playtime and lives for running free in the park, chasing tennis balls, and showing off his playful side.
Ollie can still be a little shy in new environments, so he’ll thrive with a dedicated adopter who understands that confidence takes time. Because of his fearful past, a fully fenced yard is a must -no city or urban living for this sensitive soul. He does well with other dogs (a meet & greet will help find the perfect match!) and would do best in a home with older children who can continue his training journey. From frightened to flourishing, Ollie is proof that love changes everything. Could you be the one to give this floppy-eared sweetheart the forever home he’s been waiting for?

*Double Adoption* You’d never know two-year-old door greeters Purdue and Swatara started out with hesitation when they first arrived as older kittens. Time, patience, treats, repeat, that’s all they needed to be fully won over into the wonderful world of being pets. These super-bonded brothers are always first in line for a party, especially if it involves treats. A family with understanding older kids is all that’s missing from their happily ever after—and a life supply of treats!
*Double Adoption* Flying into a new nest at Bianca’s Furry Friends can be a daunting task for shy girls.

We may never know what led them to need our help, all the way from North Carolina, but we do get to watch as they embrace new experiences together. Chickadee may be the first to be chirping for attention, but Hummingbird isn’t far behind, collecting any treats her friend may have missed. They’re a sweet, gentle pair ready to fly into your hearts fur-ever!

Eugene is a charming gray tabby, approximately two years old, with a gentle soul and a heart full of love.
