He just wants to be with his people, other pets, and in the action. He will do anything for food, so plenty of treats, please! Pickles is good at: meeting people, meeting dogs, staying in a crate, behaving in the house, walking on a leash, playing, and bathing.

Pickles had skin infections and a small patch of hair missing.  It's slowly growing back. Meet Pickles Pickles is a character! He is in fast forward everywhere he goes and he LOVES to go, go, go! He will play for hours if you've got it in you. He still needs a little refinement in following more than basic commands. He's very good at come, sit, and stay. He recognizes "Go find your ____________ (ball, toy, bone, treat, etc.)". He is the most affectionate little guy! He loves to be groomed (except for his nails) and will just melt while you clean his wrinkles or give him a bath. He is always up for a good spa day. It's evident that he was not paid a lot of attention and we've really been working on making sure he knows the right ways to get attention (not nipping, jumping, or barking incessantly) and he's learned so much in a short time. He loves any and all attention! Pickles would do best in a home with no young children as he struggles with overexcitement and can nip or knock little ones over in his excitement to play. Any potential adopters must be no more than a 3-4 hours drive from Manchester, PA to be considered.

Adoption Process
All interested people must submit an application, which is on our website. If the application appears to meet our qualifications we follow through with vet and personal references and background check. If those pass, we perform a home visit. If successful and up to our standards, the applicant schedules to meet the dog. If foster family and the adoptive family are happy during that meeting, the applicant signs a contract and can take the dog home. We require a donation of $400. They receive the dog's vet records and a copy of their contract.
