Zena is not for adoption. She is a special girl who belongs to a man whose house was condemned. Zena's person called us for help when he could not find a place to go that could take her and other shelters turned her away because of her age (she is 8). He told us how when he got her he could hold her in the palm of his hand (not any more!) and how he "just loves that dog". Zena was a gift from his fiance who has since died of cancer & means the world to him. We are babysitting Zena until her person gets back on his feet. Any donations or leads to affordable housing that accepts very nice large dogs would be greatly appreciated. Please help us by sponsoring Zena! All sponsors will receive emailed updates until Zena can be reunited with her special friend. Thank you!

At first glance, this girl could be mistaken for a Bull Walrus instead of a Pit Bull but make no mistake - there is a dog under all that blubber! You can't fault Sheba for her - um - roundness.... She has a thyroid condition & takes an inexpensive medication daily to get her thyroid levels where they should be. She currently weighs in at 86 lbs and should lose 30 lbs to be a healthy dog. Her foster Mom, unfortunately, does not have the heart to cut out Friday night meatballs, etc from her diet so she has actually gained instead of losing in the past 6 months. Sheba has just been spayed & had a blood test to confirm that we are on the right dosage for her meds and her thyroid levels are now good. She needs a home where she will get a portion-controlled diet and daily exercise. Sheba loves everyone & would do well in a family setting. She seems to get along with other dogs (although she would need a sturdy playmate) and she doesn't mind the stray cats that wander into her yard. Adoption fee $150 (includes 6 mo supply of meds)

Sherman is a wonderful dog - we first met him as a 3 day old pup and one of our board members adopted his sister, Panzee. Sherman was adopted as a pup by a wonderful family & was doing great until the husband, who was in the military, went overseas. Twice afterwards, he nipped at a person who was petting him as they took their hand away. We feel that when the husband (the alpha) was removed from the family that Sherman was filling the position & trying to protect his other person. Sherman has been back at our adoption center for a month now with no incidents. He is practically a model citizen. We have young volunteers age 11 & up & Sherman has been great with everyone. Probably best with that age group as he hasn't been around a lot of really young kids. He LOVES to go on long walks & hikes. Sherman completed a $1000+ training program in January 2009 at the Perfect Pooch in King of Prussia, PA. They are offering a free repeat course for his new family. He also attended Doggy Day Care there & the Perfect Pooch would be happy to vouch for his character as well. Sherman is a good traveller & would go on long trips with his family. He has been exposed to cows & horses & loves to run around at the barn. We would like Sherman to be in a family that can include him in their activities, not leave him at home. He would love to have a doggy friend. He did not live with cats in his former home & although we can leash walk him through the cat room we do not totally trust him around cats yet. Further socialization or a cat free home recommended. Sherman loves to be outside & on sunny days likes to chase shadows (especially butterfly shadows). He also loves his doggy toys. Sherman would love most of all to be in a warm & loving home again. Sherman is almost 5 years old & received the best of care in his former home. He is (of course) neutered, vaccinated & on heartworm prevention. Please email for more info or fill out an application. Adoption fee $150. |

When we first met this little girl she was so frightened that she would yelp out as if she had gotten an electric shock even before you touched her. It took her weeks to gain our trust but hot dog bits & rides in the car gradually brought her around. Now she is the sweetest cuddle bug with those she trusts. Ellie loves to sleep under the covers! She is a good hiking companion & enjoys playing ball. Excellent with other dogs & cats. Still fearful of some new people yet fine with others. We have not yet come up with a pattern - perhaps she is just picking up on vibes? Ellie needs a calm yet assertive owner who will help her overcome her fears. She needs to continue to be exposed to new people, sights & sounds in a safe manner so that they don't frighten her & she doesn't frighten them. Her foster Mom takes her in the car just about everywhere & she is getting more comfortable with people who walk past. She seems to like children but we feel an adult-only home is best & she can continue to get exposure to kids at the park or with relatives, etc. We would like Ellie's new family to enroll her in a basic obedience - again for the continued socialization process. Ellie comes to our adoption center each day - Wed-Sat 12-5. Please email with questions or for more info or fill out an application. Ellie has been spayed, vaccinated & microchipped. Started on HW prevention. Adoption fee $150.

Two Tone is an approx 5 yr old American Bulldog. He has been living in a foster home where his "mom's" schedule was such that she was not able to get him out and about enough. He & Hope (please see Hope's listing) shared a room there & have bonded. We would LOVE to place the two together. Both have now been relocated to a boarding kennel while a more suitable foster home or an adoptive home is set up. Two Tone would be better named two TON! He looks like a blimp & needs to get down to a healthier weight. Less food, more exercise - its that simple - and if you are like me you could benefit from the extra walks too :) Two Tone also has a condition which causes hair loss along both sides. Our vet did skin scrapings (negative) & tried some medications but decided it was some condition that Bully Breeds (esp Boxers get) and you couldn't do much about it. We are hoping that a better diet & weight loss will help. Need to wear a T-shirt or sunscreen when he is out in the sun for long periods of time. Two Tone would look cool in a tank top! Two Tone has been neutered, vaccinated & microchipped. Please fill out an application before setting up an appt to meet TT. Once approved, we can spring him from the kennel & meet at a local park. We recommend attending a basic obedience class to get everyone started on the right foot (paw). Adoption fee $150 for Two Tone or $200 for both TT & Hope. Home visit & vet references required.

Hope is a sweet, Blue Pit Bull, approx 5 years old. She was originally rescued from the SPCA where she was scheduled for euthanasia due to lack of space. She came to us pregnant, raised a litter of pups (who all found homes) and she waited & waited & waited for a new home of her own. Her foster Mom was not able to get her out and about as much as she needed. Hope bonded with another dog there - Two Tone - and now they are inseparable (please see Two Tone's listing). Currently the pair is in a boarding kennel. We would LOVE to find a home for them together but will split them up if necessary. Hope is best with male dogs & due to the number of ferals in her former neighborhood, would be best in a cat free home. She is good with older kids (13 & up) but has not had a lot of exposure to younger children. Hope rides well in the car & would be a great co-pilot. Hope has been spayed, vaccinated & microchipped. Please fill out an application before setting up an appt to meet Hope. Once approved, we can spring her from the kennel & meet at a local park. We recommend attending a basic obedience class to get everyone started on the right foot (paw). Adoption fee $150 for Hope or $200 for both Hope & Two Tone. Home visit & vet references required. |

Sweet Pea came to us from a shelter in Virginia when she had run out of time. She IS very SWEET and petite for a Pit Bull. Sweet Pea has a slight build and a cropped tail (which is unusual for a Pit Bull). She is approx 1-2 yrs old & appears to have had pups in the past but is now spayed. She gets along great with male dogs (Caesar & Amish are her favorite playmates). She is probably fine with female dogs too - just hasn't had the opportunity for play time with any yet. Likes to chase critters on our walks - probably not good with cats. Wonderful with people & very gentle. We think she was hit or yelled at in her former home because she will cringe at a raised hand or loud voices. Sweet Pea is crate trained & seems to be housebroken. She LOVES to go for hikes! Not fond of swimming but her foster Mom's other dogs are trying to teach her. Sweet Pea has been vaccinated, heartworm tested neg and microchipped. She is ready for her new home! Please fill out an application or email for more info. Sweet Pea is in a foster home (Elkton MD), NOT our adoption center. An appointment can be made to meet her after application is received. Adoption fee $150

Sugar is a sweet, squat little Pit Bull who resembles a piglet! As the name states, she is VERY sweet! Sugar found herself at the SPCA with a case of heartworms which have since been treated. She has gained weight & blossomed into a healthy, happy girl in her foster home. Sugar is good with other dogs, cats, kids and likes to sleep under the covers! A self-proclaimed lap dog! Sugar will make a wonderful addition to any family who can give her the care & attention she deserves. She is housebroken but needs some extra coaxing when its raining (who can blame her for that?). Crate trained. Please fill out an application before making an appointment to meet her in her foster home (New Castle DE). Sugar has been spayed, chipped & vaccinated. Adoption fee $150.

Sharpie is an approx 2 yr old Shar Pei mix who was dumped in our parking lot. She appeared to have just delivered pups but no pups were to be found. This certainly was not Sharpie's first litter & our vet feels she was dumped because she kept having puppies. Sharpie is a sweet girl with a velvet head & prickly Shar Pei fur everywhere else. We have found that some people are allergic to her fur so she would do best in a family without allergies. Sharpie enjoys being a house dog (we feel she was tied out in her former home) and likes to sleep on the couch or the bed. She gets along with other dogs after proper introduction and is fine with cats. She needs a basic obedience class to polish her off (which we require you to attend to complete adoption). Sharpie does pull on the leash & does not know any commands yet. I don't think she had a name in her former home as it took her a while to grasp the concept. She now whips her head around when you call "Sharpie!" Sharpie is in a foster home, NOT our adoption center - please email for more info or fill out an application. Sharpie has been spayed (it will take a while longer for her "udder" to shrink back to normal) and has been vaccinated, microchipped & tested neg for heartworms. Adoption fee $150.

Cupcake was found as a stray and not claimed. She is an energetic girl who needs an active family! Cupcake is a strong girl & will pull on a leash - a basic obedience class with her new family would do her a world of good. She needs to get her RDA of exercise in every day! Cupcake LOVES people! Not so much other dogs or cats. LOVES water also! Would be a great companion for an avid hiker or runner. Cupcake is approx 2 yrs old. She has been spayed, vaccinated, tested neg for heartworms and is microchipped. Crate trained and housebroken. Come visit her at our Adoption Center or fill out an application. Adoption fee $150.

This is a courtesy listing for Joey's family - he is not with CompAnimals Pet Rescue due to lack of space: Joey needs a bailout!! Since he was born (under a trailer in dead winter)his life hasn't been easy. He is just looking for a family that can commit to him for the rest of his life. He had one for about a year where he was left in the basment for over 16 hours a day. The previous family had an aggressive chow that would constantly pick on him and attack him. The family chose the chow over Joey and he was left in the basement only to hear the family he loved up above going on with their lives without him. They even felt bad after awhile and contacted me to take him in so he could avoid certain death at the shelter. Once I met Joey I had to help him. He is such a cool dog. He is so sweet and loves to snuggle. He is very easy going and really just wants companionship. He has the best manners and listens very well. He loves to take walks, watch television(no really, he actually watches TV),go for car rides and play with all his stuffed animals. He would be the perfect companion for someone who is looking for a mature relationship. He would do better in a home with older children. He would like to chase cats so a home without cats would be ideal. Since his prior experience with dogs has been rather negative he would prefer to be the top dog in your life. Joey is a 3 yr old neutered male pointer/lab mix and is a gentle giant at 100 lbs. He is housebroken and up to date on all vaccintations, flea/tick control and on monthly heartworm preventitive. Adoption is at sole discretion of Joey's family and does not include CompAnimals. |

Regina has in-turned eyelashes in her left eye which will be assessed by our vet prior to adoption. She is also being treated with antibiotics for some "bed sores" from being crated too much in her former home. Looking for a quiet laid back home, preferably with breed experience and NO CATS.

Kane came to us as a 3 mo old pup with a broken leg; at that time he was named Crash. He was adopted by a loving family whose lifestyle has changed due to a new baby and an aging, other dog. Kane's activity level is too much and they are not able to give him the attention he needs. His current family says "Kane is 3 years old; he's a friendly dog, very active. Enjoys being walked and likes a lot of attention. Because he's so big I'm careful having him around my 2 year old daughter. I'm afraid he might make her fall but my nephew and nieces, who are 6 & 7, love to chase him around the yard. He does well with my older dog who at times tries to be domineering; Kane backs down. I think he would do well with an active family who would love to take him for walks and to the beach; he loves the water." Kane is neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. We are looking for an adoptive OR temp foster placement for him. Please fill out an application or email for more informaiton. |

Maximus is a mostly German Shepherd who was adopted from us years ago and recently returned when the family fell on hard times. He is now 8 yrs old but doesn't look a day past 3! Max is a wonderful family dog. He is active enough to go hiking, etc. but also content to hang out on the couch. Max gets along great with other dogs but has not lived with cats. Max looks to be almost a pure shepherd but there is a little something else mixed in there. He weighs about 85 lbs. A happy, healthy guy. Did not inherit the bad hips of many pure shepherds - very sound. Max is in a foster home - not at our adoption center - and can be seen by appointment. Please fill out an application or email for more info. Adoption fee $100.

Hailey is a 1-2 yr old Pit Bull mix. Not sure what she is mixed with but she is a sturdy girl! Hailey is a bit of a Bull Dozer and needs a strong owner who can commit to helping her learn some basic obedience skills. She is well behaved in the house and is housebroken and crate trained. Hailey does pull on a leash and tries to push her way through doorways. She is very sweet and gets along with other dogs and cats. Suggest a family with teenage children because she might be "too much" for younger kids. Hailey is residing at our adoption center and can be seen here Wed-Sat 12-5, Please email for more info or fill out an application. Home visit & vet refs required. We also require that Hailey's new family enroll her in a basic obedience class to get everyone started on the right foot (paw?).

Twinkie is a wonderful girl who has had a tough life. Taken from her home for neglect, she spent a year at the SPCA recovering from her wounds, gaining weight and having the staff fall in love with her. She had a cancerous growth on her leg removed last Feb (2009) and her days were numbered there as she had little interest before she had cancer. Who would want her now? Our director, for one! Leslie has fostered Twinkie for the past year. We expected the cancer to return - as leg cancers often do - but she has been cancer free for 12 months now so it is unlikely she will have a reoccurrence at that site. Although she is selective of her doggy friends and doesn't like kitties much, Twinkie is a love bug with all people, even strangers. Her foster Mom takes her to her "paying" job two days a week and she patiently sleeps on her bed under the desk and says hello to customers who pop there heads in. LOVES to ride in the car & go for walks in the park. Would make a great therapy dog! Twinkie is 110% housebroken and crate trained but does not need to be crated. According to SPCA estimates she is about 5 yrs but she looks older to us - looks at least 7 but maybe it was her rough life. Twinkie has been spayed, tested neg for heartworms, vaccinated & microchipped. Vet references and home visit required. Adoption fee $150. |

Rock is a 2-3 year old AmStaff who was taken in by a kind samaritan after his young owner couldn't afford him. Now she too has fallen on hard times and needs to place Rock in a new home. Rock is super sweet with people & all the kids in the neighborhood love him. Due to being attacked by another dog as a pup, Rock would do best as the only dog in the home. Rock is pretty well mannered - knows sit & high five! A basic obedience refresher would be a great bonding experience for Rock and his new family. Rock has been neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and is ready to move in with you! Please email for more info or fill out an application. URGENT: Rock is in desparate need of a foster (or forever) home! Adoption fee $150. |

Diamond needs a special home. We don't know what her beginnings were where she came from in Baltimore. We do know that she had a broken leg that was not treated and healed on its own. The result was a slightly shorter right hind leg which doesn't slow Diamond down but causes her to limp slightly. We are pretty sure she was not socialized with other dogs or cats as a pup - she does not get along with either and needs to be placed as an only pet. What we do know is that Diamond will make a great companion for the right person. She needs a home with bully breed experience. One that can get her out and about - hiking etc - while keeping her safe from other dogs. One that can give her the obedience training she needs to become a model citizen. Someone who needs a buddy, like Diamond needs a someone. Diamond is an excellent driving partner - lies down in a bed in the back. She also likes hikes and walks well on a leash (until she sees another dog but that will come with training & getting out more). She can be a bit hyper but calms down with a regular regimen of exercise. Diamond likes to play ball (but won't bring it back). Enjoys your company and is always smiling. She has not been exposed to young kids & would do best in an adult only home or one with teenagers. Please email for more info or fill out an application if you are interested in adopting. Diamond has been spayed, vaccinated, microchipped & heartworm negative and on prevention. Diamond is 5 yrs old. Home visit and vet reference check required. Adoption fee $100 |

Sara is a 6 yr old Pit Bull/Boxer/Beagle mix who came to us from a shelter in WV. Although she looks like a Pitty on the outside, her Beagle-ness got her into trouble and she wandered too far from home. Sara is a sweet, sweet girl! Very gentle and quiet as a mouse in the house. Sara turns her energy on when she gets outside! She loves to run & play with other dogs. Will make a great hiking or jogging partner. Sara's athleticism allows her to fly over a 4' fence so she needs a home where she is leash walked or has a 6' privacy fence. Sara is currently being fostered in an apartment complex and doing well. She attends Dog Dayz Doggy Day Care in Wilmington several days a week where she socializes & plays with many other doggies and gets in some off leash play time. Sara loves people and is very friendly. She likes to chase critters (squirrels, etc) but is fine with indoor dog friendly cats. Sara is available to meet by appointment. Please fill out an application before setting up a day/time to meet her. Sara is housebroken, crate trained, spayed, vaccinated and on heartworm and flea prevention. Adoption fee $100.

This is a courtesy listing for Sassie's family - she is not with CompAnimals Pet Rescue due to lack of space: Sassie is a 4 yr old Pit mix; she is spayed. I work long hours and due to financial reasons we cannot keep her. She is good with other dogs and likes to play a lot, but can't be around cats. She will attack a vacumn cleanner, or anything else motorized, so I put her in her crate or outside when I am cleanning. Her new owners can have the large crate to go with her; she enjoys being in her crate. She is very lovable and sleeps with me; she just can't get close enough. It really tears me up that I can't keep her anymore, but I know she'll make a great dog for a new family. Please contact Tina at tlcaple@verizon.net for more information or if you're interested in adopting or fostering Sassie. Adoption is at sole discretion of Sassie's family and does not include CompAnimals. |

Missy the beagle is one happy girl! Can't you tell from her smile? She's 7 years old and full of energy and enthusiasm. Unfortunately Missy's original owner passed away a little over a year ago. She was passed around to other family members and was eventually given to a young family with a little boy. Missy was quite happy with her new family, but it just wasn't meant to last. After almost a year, her new family had to move into a small appartment and couldn't take Missy with them. So Missy has moved in to a foster home with a bunch of other beagles where she's patiently waiting for another chance at a forever home. Missy loves everybody - dogs, cats, people (especially kids!) - and would be a great addition to any family! Did I mention Missy loves the outdoors? No one loves being outside more than Missy. She likes to sniff and sniff and sniff and then take a nap in the sunshine and then sniff some more. A home with a fenced yard would be ideal so Missy could spend lots of time sniffing in the safety of her own back yard. Anyone who knows beagles knows that without a fence a beagle can easily sniff him/herself right out into the street or so far from home he can't find his way back. If you'd like a nice, easy, friendly dog to go for walks or hang out with you, Missy is the girl for you! Please fill out an application or email for more information. Adoption fee $150. |
