Sweetie. On hold!
Due to the large number of applications we have received for Sweetie already, we are not currently accepting new ones until we have a chance to process the existing ones. If you have already submitted an application, we will be in touch sometime in the next week or so.
My name is Sweetie. I am female and about 2 years old. I am a 10-pound Shih-Tzu-Havanese mix. My name should be Snuggles or Cuddles because I love to snuggle and cuddle and get ear scratches and tummy rubs. I get along well with the 3 dogs in the house—2 chihuahuas and a Yorkie. I even get along with other little dogs that come to visit. I am house trained: I follow the other dogs into the yard and back into the house.
I love to run in the back yard to chase squirrels and deer, play tug-of-war with my stuffed animals and chew on my favorite bone.
I am a little timid when meeting people for the first time, so I need to take my time to get to know you. But once I know you, I will smother you with kisses.
Rain
Once I feel secure with you, I will get your attention by pawing at you and bringing you toys. I like it when you toss toys for me to chase after. My foster mommy says I’m “so goofy” when I pounce on my toys.
Hobbies: playing with other kitties, trying to climb up scratching posts, being silly
Favorite Toys: ping pong balls, stick/wand toys, catnip toys, other kitties, sneak and pounce on toys
Favorite Napping Spot: soft blankets, next to people, next to other kitties, wrapped around the base of a scratching post
HOW I CAME TO THE PGSPCA
I was found alone and really dirty in a ditch in the rain, and a Good Samaritan brought me to the SPCA for help.
DREAM FAMILY
I would love a home with other kitty friends to play with. I might be a little shy at first but once I get to know you and trust you, I’m going to want to be with you all the time.
Blink. I’m adopted!
Blink was adopted August 2024!
I love to play with toys and my brother. I will ask for pets and attention and sometimes show you the toy I caught just for you! I love it when you dangle a string or wand toy for me then I’ll cozy up to you when I’m done playing. When I’m playing I can move so fast!
Hobbies: playing with my brother & other kitties, chasing toys
Favorite Toys: with my brother, on cozy blankets, next to you
Favorite Napping Spots: my brother, ping pong balls, stick/wand toys, kicker toys, catnip toys
HOW I CAME TO THE PGSPCA
A nice woman found me and my brother in her yard, and our mom never came back for us.
DREAM FAMILY
My brother Wink & I are really bonded so we’d like to live together furever. We would love a home with a family that will give us lots of love, attention and play time who will cuddle us furever. We would be ok with a big family or with a family with kids.
Emma Jane. I’m adopted!
Emma Jane was adopted August 2024!
Emma is a 1 ½ yr old spayed Shih Tzu/Bichon Frise mix. She weighs approximately 10lbs. She will have a wavy/curly coat as it grows out. She will require regular brushing, grooming and vet care for the next 10+ years.
Emma was given to me as an owner surrender and PGSPCA then took her into rescue. Her previous owner did not have time for her and she was “too active” for them. She had not been vetted beyond her initial shots and was completely matted. Thankfully a friend of mine was able to shave her within a couple of days and it made her feel so much better! She will need to be groomed on a consistent basis (every 6-8 weeks). She is now fully vetted.
She lives with 4 other dogs ranging in age from 5-11. She gets along well with all of them, especially the beagle! They are obsessed with each other!! They love to run around the backyard, wrestle and share their toys with no issue. She gets the zoomies daily and will need to be able to run and get her energy out. I am not sure about cats (although she was non-reactive to the feral cats outside). She has only met kids once while on a walk but was completely fine with them.
Emma is ALL puppy, so make sure you are prepared for those antics! She is super friendly and doles out kisses frequently! Most mornings and every time you come home, she greets you with lots of squeals and wiggles and demands to be picked up and cuddled on. She is a bit of an attention hog but that’s only because she has so much love to give. You may try to resist her, but her smile and joy will win you over and next thing you know she will be in your arms!! She has free reign of the home and is mostly non-destructive, maybe shredding some paper here and there if it’s in her reach. She currently is only left alone for about 6 hours a day.
I have not seen any food aggression from her but she will steal food from another dog if it is on the floor or left in their bowl. Because of this, I feed her in a closed room. She will also steal food from you if you leave it unattended! She doesn’t know any commands but is food motivated so it would probably be easy to train her. She will go to the bathroom outside but is not house-trained yet. She runs back inside quickly and then I find special surprises in the house, ugh. She will need someone that has patience and will continue to work with her and teach her the proper areas to go potty by using positive training methods. She sleeps in my bed at night along with the rest of the dogs and sleeps through the night! I have not crated her since I’ve had her.
She walks great on leash and is non-reactive to other dogs or animals. She rides well in the car and is very social so she would be easy to take on adventures! I think she would prefer to have another dog with medium/high energy to play with. And I think she will most likely do well with children over the age of 6 (just because she’s a little jumpy trying to get attention). A fenced-in yard would be preferable so she can run and get her zoomies out and then she will sleep soundly through the night. She makes us laugh every single day and is one of the most lovable dogs I’ve ever seen. She is a special dog that will make a family happy for years to come!

Mama Luna is a trooper. She is an incredibly trusting cat, and frequently gives the blinking eyes to let you know you’re part of her family. She absolutely LOVES food and will take to you immediately if you are the one who feeds her. Hard food, wet food, a puree tube, it doesn’t matter, she’ll eat it all. Mama Luna is somewhat solitary but also loves head and back scratches. She would also work incredibly well as a barn/worker cat, where she could roam a pasture and be the protector of the land. She worked incredibly hard for her kittens and deserves a fur-ever home where she can peacefully relax.
Castor & Pollux (Courtesy Post)
Castor is 10 weeks old as of 7/3/24. He is very playful and sweet. Castor can be seen chasing anything that looks elongated, such as a string or his mom’s tail. He eagerly awaits Temptations snacks, and will eat the puree directly out of the tube or chase any hard snack that’s tossed his way. Whether he’s up on a cat tree playing or cuddling with his siblings, he would bring a ton of energy into your home.
Pollux is also 10 weeks old as of 7/3/24. He brings a shy and gentle level of affection to anyone that wants to be his friend. He does have a wild side when he warms up to his situation, but above all else, he really loves his siblings and his mama. Just like his brother, Pollux will put the shyness behind him when Temptations are out. He also tends to melt into your arms when holding him, so if you need a future lap cat, Pollux is your guy.
Teddy. I’m adopted!
Sweet little Teddy is a charming little “bear.” He loves to snuggle in his little pet bed or on the lap of a loving human. His favorite activities include napping, while curling up with a rope toy, in his favorite bed, running around his foster parent’s backyard and spending time on his favorite human’s lap.
Teddy is endearing, incredibly laid back and hilarious. He almost never makes a sound, except when he sleeps and unique snoring noises can be heard from any room in the house! But he will lights up a room with his charming smile.
Won’t you give this miniature little senior cub a loving home?
Chihiro (Courtesy Post)
Chihiro is a one year old black domestic medium hair cat. He is very outgoing and talkative. He enjoys rubbing against your legs, meowing, head scratches, playing with toys, cuddles and being held.
He has been neutered and vaccinated and tested negative for FIV, feline leukemia and heartworm disease on 05/21/24. Chihiro is comfortable with dogs and other cats. He seems to be comfortable with people of all ages as he is very outgoing and people-focused.
Manny
If you’re looking for a dog to be your companion, Manny is a dancing, prancing little bundle of happiness and personality! He loves to chase balls, and he’ll even fetch for a while. He’d be an ideal companion for an outdoors-lover and could definitely excel in a multi-dog household.
Walks are great but Manny needs a yard where he can run around, ideally with a dog and a human playmate. Manny has spent many months in the company of a wide variety of dogs and is a favorite companion and playmate. The friendship continues inside when everyone relaxes and Manny grooms other dogs like he’s a cat. That’s Manny, a unique personality!
Although Manny is fed in a crate and will often seek out his open crate to relax in, he’s had free-rein on the main level in his foster house. Not only is his house-training solid but he doesn’t destroy things that are not his; he owns many toys and chewables that he enjoys gnawing on. However, as with any dog in an unfamiliar home, Manny should be monitored carefully to be sure he has retained those in-home skills.
Manny does seem to think he’s human sometimes and loves to balance and walk on his rear legs. He would benefit greatly from continued training on basic commands like come, sit and stay. Manny is very smart and gentle voice correction or redirection is very useful for him to learn your expectations. He’s also a very affectionate little dog with people and loves to cuddle with you.
Grooming is a breeze with Manny’s short and sleek coat which only requires at-home brushing and washing. If you prefer less shedding inside your home, just increase coat brushing.
Initially, his breed was anyone’s guess, but the foster graciously donated a DNA breed kit to use for him. The results: 50.1% pom, 37.2% Russell-type Terrier, and 12.7% Supermutt.
If you would treasure this loving young dog and can commit to providing a forever-home where his health and happiness are priorities, please complete an application for Manny!
