Story
**Discounted Senior Adoption Fee of $175.00 applies to Angus** Calling all experienced Great Pyrenees Lovers, meet Angus! He is a neutered senior Great Pyrenees/Anatolian Shepherd male, approximately ~11 years old, A big, gentle, sensitive boy, weighing in about 130 lbs. Consistent with the breed, he can be independent and vocal, he does have double dew claws. Laid back and a low energy boy, he enjoys leisurely walks, and napping on any bed. He shows no interest in climbing or jumping fences and is extremely reliable in the house. Also consistent with this breed, he must be fed separately. He has no experience as a Livestock Guard dog and loves nothing better then to be outside chasing bunnies, ducks, chickens, and sheep. He is up to date on vaccinations and preventatives. Angus will do best with an owner that is familiar with his breed. He can go to a home with a single compatible female or be placed as an only dog. He seems to love children, but due to his size he would need to be appropriately placed with older kids in an experienced home. ********************************************************** We require an application to be completed prior to meeting our foster animals. All of our dogs are fostered within private homes, so visitations are scheduled. Standard adoption fee is $250 We Are Not A Shelter.

Story
Hiya guys, I'm Xena. I'm a high energy goofball looking for someone to tire me out. I would be the perfect companion for someone with a yard where I can do my zoomies. Hikers, joggers, or anyone looking to play and romp all day work for me. I'd prefer a home with adults and/or teenagers, so everyone in the home can be my playmate. I LOVE squeaky toys, they are just the most fun! I am currently in a foster home because shelter life was too stressful for me. I would do best in a home with no small dogs. I am available for meets and greets with potential adopters by appointment. Are you looking for an adventure companion? You are! Stellar! ---We are now scheduling adoption meet and greet appointments. If you are interested in meeting an animal please contact us by email Lancaster@pspca.org to learn more about them and schedule a meet and greet appointment.

Story
Hi there, I'm Spooky! I'm a 3 year old American Staffordshire mix. I'm a shy boy who takes a bit of time to warm up to new people, so my ideal family would consist of adults who can give me space and time to come around, and who can continue working with my fear of strangers in my new home. Once I warm up to you, I'm happiest as your new sixty pound lap dog, and I'll express my love and affection for you by wedging myself in your favorite chair while you're sitting in it. I'm a clever, focused boy, and I'm happy to learn anything you want to teach me. I'm the bestest at learning tricks and commands. So far I know; sit, stay, paw, and down. I also do this neat crouching thing...I'm practicing for my film debut. I'm thinking of calling it "Crouching Spooky, Hidden Treats." Thoughts?I'm available for meets by appointment with my favorite staff members. Please email lancaster@pspca.org for more information and to schedule a meet.---We are now scheduling adoption meet and greet appointments.
