Meet Loretta: Loretta is about a 5 month old (as of August 2023) lab mix that weighs about 15 pounds. Loretta was found with her sister, Patsy, near a dump site on a country road in the south. A nice man found them and brought them to us and we were able to get them into the rescue. Loretta is currently being fostered in the south and would love to take the freedom ride north to Pennsylvania to meet more prospective families. These Country Gals are as sweet as can be and both very loving and friendly. They both have your typical puppy energy and love to play with toys!  Loretta is very smart and loves to get treats, so she should be easy to train. As a puppy, Loretta will need patience while she works on her house training. We would love for Loretta to have a home with a fence so she can play and run freely. Loretta is up to date on her shots and will need to be spayed.

Meet Mama Cookie: Mama Cookie is about a 5 year old (as of August 2023) pit mix that weighs about 55 pounds. Mama Cookie had 5 years of living the life inside as a family pet before a human baby came along and her life changed. Her family didn’t “have room” for her inside with the baby, so she lived outside under an old truck & slept on big rocks. Due to being outside and not spayed, Mama Cookie inevitably ended up having a litter of 10 sweet babies that she carried off to a safe haven. On one of her return trips looking for food, some of her babies were following along and the owner locked 3 of them up in a kennel (with actual locks). When we get wind of this, the rescue went to see if we could help the situation; we were able to pick up the 3 babies, mama Cookie and a 4th baby that happened back. We are looking for her other pups and hope to find them. Mama Cookie is currently being fostered in the south and would love to take the freedom ride north to Pennsylvania to meet more prospective families. Mama Cookie is the sweetest girl! She loves to be your shadow.  She has been very dog friendly and has done great with her foster families Calico cat and kids. Mama Cookie is super friendly with all and just wants attention and affection! Mama Cookie is fully house trained. We would love for Mama Cookie to have a home with a fence so she can play and run freely. Mama Cookie is up to date on her shots and spayed.

This beauty is Morticia AKA Winnie.  She is a 1 year old Great Pyrenees/Lab and some other wonderful mixes.  She was adopted just about a year ago from us but is being returned.  She's a big, beautiful girl of 85lbs.  Winnie is your typical Pyrenees/lab; needs to run, loves to play with dogs her size and will need someone to give her daily runs, play time in a fenced yard and work with her. Winnie is up to date on her vaccines and spayed.  She is potty trained and crate trained though the crate is not her favorite spot, but with some training she can be taught the crate can be a good, safe place once in a while.  She is not good with cats, unless the cat is dog savvy.  It's suggested children in the home be over 12 years of age because of her size and her not yet mastering the "no jump" rule.  Also, dogs in the home should be on the younger side and same size due to Winnie's desire to play.  Winnie will require a fenced in yard for her to play and exercise daily!!    Please go to Charlie’s Crusaders website (www.charliescrusaders.org) to fill out an application. show less

Nick is currently being fostered in the Drums, PA area and would love to meet his forever family. This litter is your typical group of sweet, playful, and loving puppies!  They are great with other dogs (and scared of the cat they are with, so they leave them alone).

Meet Noel: Noel is a sweet 1 year old Mountain Cur/hound mix (best guess) and weighs about 45 pounds. Noel is housetrained, gets along great with dogs, and is playful and loyal. Noel was abandoned with her dad and 2 sisters at a lake in Mississippi where they were at risk of being killed because the park doesn’t want strays. Noel is currently living in a loving foster home with other dog friends.  She enjoys romping outside in the sunshine.  Noel needs a 6' fenced yard since she has proven she can jump over a 4' fence. Noel has a high prey drive with her hound genes so we are recommending NO cats or small critters in the home.  Noel would do best in a home that has previous dog experience and a family that is very active  Noel’s foster mom says she is ok without a crate and is content to hang out in the living room with the other dogs when home alone or at night.  Noel is potty trained, UTD on her shots, and spayed.
