Meet Oaken: Oaken is a 2 year old (as of March 2023) black lab mix that weighs about 55 pounds. Oaken was found as a stray in a Tennessee State Park and rescued by a park ranger. Oaken is good with big dogs, and good at dog parks. He gets a little protective of his house, but he's good to go to other places (neutral ground). Oaken would do best in a home that does not have small dogs or small children. He has shown food aggression towards other dogs in the past, but not towards people. He loves to eat his meals in his kennel. In fact, whenever it is time to eat, he runs to his kennel and does a happy dance while waiting. Oaken is house trained, leash trained, and kennel trained. Oaken has a lot of energy and would do best in a home with a fenced in yard for him to run around in. Oaken is up to date on his shots and neutered.

Meet Pancho: Pancho is a 14 month old Chihuahua/terrier mix (as of Oct 2023) who is bonded to his brother Monte.

Pancho is good with bigger dogs, cats, and children. Pancho is neutered and is up to date on his shots.

Only one application needs to be completed for adoption of both.  CURRENT LOCATION : foster care in Columbia, PA show less

Hello from Quince!  Quince was born around Christmas 2021 and soon found himself being given away in a Mississippi Wal-Mart parking lot, along with his 3 siblings.  Quince has been in rescue since early 2022 and we are all eager for him to find his forever family soon!  Quince will thrive with an owner or family that will continue his training.  He has done a lot of hard work and we want him to maintain all the skills he has learned! Quince is a lean and lanky 45 lbs, and we assume he is some type of shepherd mix.  He is a handsome boy with a beautiful black coat.  Although he is a very energenic boy, a home that is more laid back, with predictible routines would suit him best.  He would do best in a home with older children or adults only that can give him lots of exercise, mental stimulation, and clear boundaries.  Quince gets along wtih other dogs when introduced properly and has learned to share toys.  He does have some resource guarding with food, which can be comfortably managed by separate feeding areas, and supervision.   Quince is in a boarding facility and enjoys regular maintenance visits from a trainer.  Quince will require a home with a fenced yard so that he can romp around freely off leash.  Quince needs an experienced dog person who will be his leader of the pack.  He is potty trained, crate trained, and knows basic commands like sit, stay, and down. Quince loves the outdoors including hiking, playing in water and car rides.   If you are interested in adopting this sweet boy please go to our website at charliescrusaders.org and fill out our adoption application.  REQUIREMENTS FOR QUINCE : Fenced-in yard, training or breed experience.  No small kids or critters.
