Wizard is a grand old guy of 13 years. He belonged to a woman who is blind and he just doted on her. Unfortunately when she received a seeing eye dog, Wizard kept trying to herd her away from the new dog every time she reached for the harness. He was obviously very stressed out and everyone felt it was in Wizard's best interest to find a new home.

Wiz has been an amazing foster "child" and has taken everything in stride. He comes to our new Adoption Center every day and enjoys walks and meeting new people. Stop by to see Wiz!

Wizard has been vaccinated and was previously neutered.

Casey came to us (with his friend Pepper) as a result of a failed relationship where neither party had the means/time to care for him properly although they loved him very much. Casey is 11 yrs old but aside from a tremor in his hind leg, you would never know it. He loves to play ball, go for walks & ride in the car. Casey gets along well with other dogs but can get annoyed with young puppy-types. He is a good house guest, says his foster Mom. He loves to go outside to play & snuggles up at night. Can you give Casey the warm, safe & loving home that he needs for his retirement years?

Shorin has been with one family since they found him on the side of the road when he was about six months old. Shorin is now 15 1/2 yrs old and looking for a new home. In his old age, he has lost his hearing & has gotten a bit "grumpy" as some dogs (and people) do. He was given up because he was startled by & bit the little boy in the household. There were previous incidents where he snapped & didn't break the skin. Shorin needs a quiet retirement home - he is small (about 30 lbs on short legs) & has a wonderful personality. He gets along well with other dogs & doesn't bother the cats unless they swat at him & then he gives chase. Shorin looks great for his age - good teeth, bright eyes, walks with a spring in his step. Enjoys a walk on the leash & a nice soft place to sleep. Can you give Shorin the safe & happy retirement home he needs? Shorin is up to date on shots, neutered, heartworm negative & on prevention.

Isabelle MooMoo (and her Doxie friend Tiffany) came from a family who had more dogs than the township allowed. Isabelle MooMoo is a lovable blob, 10 yrs of age. MooMoo gets along with everything but she is not so inclined to get up & off her bed to meet people. Loves to be carried around & snuggle! Isabelle MooMoo is a piebald Doxie & has some pretty blue specs in one eye. She is overweight & could do with an exercise program (she enjoys the dog park!) & restricted diet. Isabelle also has some fatty tumors & a hernia that will be addressed prior to adoption. To top it off she has bad teeth and will need a dental with several extractions. We are currently raising the funds for her veterinary care.. MooMoo is currently in a foster home in Middletown, DE. Please email for more info or fill out an application.

Adoption fee $100

Can't adopt but would like to help MooMoo?

Tiffany is a 10 yr old long-haired dachshund. She is a very pretty little girl with long lashes & feathers on her ears. Tiffany is a wonderful companion & still active for her age. She enjoys the company of other dogs. LOVES walks in the park. Like some Dachshunds, Tiffany might have an occassional accident (her foster Mom crated her at night just in case). She lived with a family that had more dogs than the township allowed & they were forced to give up some - Tiffany & her friend Isabelle MooMoo came to us. We had Tiffany spayed & a small hernia repaired. She also had a few bad teeth removed and is all recovered & ready for her new adventures in a new home! Tiffany comes to our adoption center every day & can usually be found lounging on the dog beds in the office with the kittens. Please email for more info or fill out an application.

Shotzi is the Official Office Mascot at our Adoption Center in Landenberg. When we met her last fall, she was down on her luck - losing her home and on the way to losing her life. We intervened & brought her to CompAnimals for a happy (we hoped) retirement. Shotzi had a reputation for being cantankerous so we were not sure how she would adjust. Blessedly, she is flourishing! Pain medication has eased her arthritis. Daily exercise, supplements & some weight loss has eased her stride and she practically gallops across the parking lot now. We couldn't believe our eyes when she picked up a ball to play - now its a daily occurrence! Shotzi has made some doggy friends - she curls up with the other old fogeys and keeps the young 'uns in line. She wants to greet everyone who comes in & invites them to give her a belly rub. She can't help but brighten your day with her happy bounce. Shotzi is not for adoption please come meet her at our Adoption Center and she'll be sure to put a smile on your face :) You can help us care for Shotzi & the other seniors at CompAnimals by making a donation via PayPal. Shotzi & her friends thank you!

Buster is an 13 yr old Basset/Beagle mix (although he looks mostly Basset). His owner moved into nursing home. He is a senior himself but still has lots of spunk! Would like a nice retirement home with a fenced yard so he can sniff around at his leisure. Buster does well with other dogs & seems is only mildly interested in cats. Loves to go on walks & explore. Not as vocal as many hounds can be. Buster would like an adult only home or one with teenage children. He has typical aches & pains associated with old age - doesn't like being poked & prodded much. Buster has been neutered, vaccinated & has been given a physical & senior blood profile. He does have some elevated kidney values & is currently on a prescription food. We will send a big bag home with him when adopted. Please fill out an application or email for more info.

Adoption fee $100.

Maggie is a big beagle (abt 40 lbs) and about 9 yrs old. She is very friendly and loves attention. She gets along well with other dogs and kids, but gets too excited over cats. We recommend a home without cats since Maggie could easily injure a cat while trying to "play" with it. Maggie gets a little stiff after naps, so wouldn't make a good jogging partner, but short walks would probably do her good. She would love to have a fenced yard where she can sniff and snooze in the sun. Maggie is completely housetrained and crate trained, already spayed and utd on vaccinations. She is full of love and ready for a new home! Please fill out an application or email if you'd like to meet Maggie.

Adoption fee $100.

Pepper is a wonderful, sweet 13 yr old Pit Bull mix whose owner loved her very much. Sadly, he passed away unexpectedly. Pepper gets along well with other dogs & is fine with cats. She would like a quiet home with a nice yard & a soft bed to sleep on. Pepper is a quiet, well behaved girl & insists that she won't be any trouble! Come meet Pepper at our Adoption Center where she is residing until she finds her retirement home. If you have room in your home and your heart for Pepper, please fill out an application or email for more info.

Adoption fee requested to help with her expenses (TBD).

Poor Pepper! She was returned to us when her adoptive family of 2 years fell on hard times. Originally, she belonged to a senior woman who moved into a retirement community & couldn't take her along. Pepper wants nothing more than to be by your side! She would love a home where her person is not gone all day. She is good with other dogs, cats & kids but would be best in a home without too much commotion. Pepper gains weight easily & will beg for treats (and pretend she doesn't like her kibble). Needs a family who can help her keep to her diet & provide her with daily exercise. Pepper is housebroken & crate trained although she does not need a crate. She can be trusted off leash in the yard & will not stray far from your side. A very loyal girl, now 10 years old, looking for a loving retirement home. Pepper is in a foster home so please fill out an application before setting up a time/place to meet her.

Carmella and Ellie Mae

Carmella was dumped in the parking lot of a shelter in the city of Wilmington - only they were closed. Luckily one of our volunteers was there picking up donations and was able to scoop her up. We think she may have been kept mostly crated where ever she came from because she was reluctant to go outside at first - in fact, the cement walk gave her sores on her tender feet. She still needs an extra push sometimes but is getting better & her pads are all healed up. She feels most at home, well... at home - with her her foster dog brothers & sisters. Carmella is an active girl & would love a doggy companion or a family that can give her the daily exercise & pay time she craves. After play, Carmella is a snuggler & would love to watch TV on the couch with you. Carmella is great with kids & good with other dogs, also living with a cat in her foster home. Carmella is just about 1 yr old. We have had her vaccinated, tested neg for heartworms (& on prevention) spayed & microchipped. She is ready for forever home of her own! She did escape once from her foster's yard by digging so care must be taken not to leave her outside alone for long periods until she can be trusted.

Vet references & home visit required.

Adoption fee $150

Mista Meenor - Odd name, strange story, nice dog... Mister (as we call him) came to us after a woman almost hit him with her car. She saw that he had tags on and contacted the owner who said they didn't want him anymore. She turned him over to the woman who almost hit him & although she couldn't keep him she took him home until she found us. The previous owner stated that he was a Jack Russell/Heeler mix - clearly, he is not. Mister has a sleek black coat & more the face of a Boxer - we are guessing Boxer/Lab. He would be an interesting one to do the new genetic testing on! Mista is about 8 months old & while he is still a playful pup, he is pretty well mannered for a dog his age. Gets along well with other dogs & children. Seems fine with cats also. Walks well on a leash - a bit shy in new places. He should excel at obedience school - wants to please. Mister has been neutered, vaccinated, started on heartworm prevention & is ready for a active dog oriented family to call his own. Please fill out an application or email for more info.

Adoption fee $150.

Poor Coleman! A mini van was seen pulling to the side of the road & giving him the boot. He tried his best to run after as they sped away but alas they did not stop for him. He also tried to run after the next car that came along - luckily they slowed down & gave him a ride - to CompAnimals! Coleman is a young (7-10 month) Coonhound. He is very affectionate and can be vocal at times. A little shy when coming here at first but has quickly warmed up - greets visitors with enthusiasm! Plays well with most dogs & seems more interested in the cat's food than the cats themselves. Coleman, being a Coonhound, will need LOTS of exercise, a fenced yard and preferably a more rural setting. Coonhounds are not a good match for apartment or townhouse living. They are not for couch potatoes. Seeking an active dog-oriented family who loves the outdoors - hound experience a plus! Coleman has been neutered, vaccinated, microchipped & started on heartworm prevention. Please fill out an application or email for more info.

Adoption fee $150.

Salem & Sabrina were born 1-2-09. Their mother is mostly Shar Pei (no other breed sticks out but she is bigger & stockier than a Shar Pei). Father is anyone's guess but we are thinking either German Shepherd or Rhodesian Ridgeback (Sabrina has a mini ridge). These pups & their Mom belonged to a homeless man living in a compound in the woods. He loves his dogs but knew that we could find better homes for them than he could. We have also been providing him with food & have spayed the momma. Salem is the brown pup - she is chunkier & makes snorting noises when she eats & sleeps. Sabrina is the black pup. She is needy & wants to be at your side (or in your lap). Both pups are in a foster home with other pets - dogs, cats & a bird - and are getting great socialization. They are learning crate training & housebreaking and are making good progress. The pups have an appt to be spayed on Tues May 5th and will be available for adoption the following weekend. We ask that pups under a year old attend a basic obedience class as part of the adoption requirement. There is no substitute for a group class to get you & your pup started on the right foot (paw?) and continue with her socialization skills. Please fill out an application or email for more information. Pups will be vaccinated, spayed, microchipped & started on HW prevention prior to adoption.

Adoption fee $200.

This is a courtesy listing for Cosmo's family. He is on the waiting list to come into our rescue but foster space is not available at this time. If you are interested in adopting or meeting Cosmo, please fill out an application which will be forwarded to his family. Adoption is at the sole discretion of Cosmo's family.

We have had Cosmo ( a male 10 mo. old, 56 lbs., ) for 8 mos. and he is being raised in home with 3 active children (ages, 12,12 and 7) and a female dog sibling who is the dominant. When there is too much noise/chaos and stimulation on the part of the kids or Cosmo's sister trying to push him out of the way for attention, Cosmo reacts by chasing his tail repeatedly and barking at it. We have tried to work with him, but our house and the dog sibling seem to be stressing him out and that in turn causes stress with us because the dog becomes anxious and worked up. Cosmo is a very sweet and loving dog when things are calm or quiet. In the best interest of our dog and family, I would like to see if there is someone out there better suited to his need for a calm and quieter atmosphere than the one we can offer him. Cosmo is up to date on all his shots, is neutered and microchipped. He loves to play and go for walks. He likes to be near you, but not on you. He is a bit timid at times, but is very people-friendly and dog friendly. He has been socialized with many other dogs, big and small and he enjoys them. It is agonizing having to make this decision, but I am overwhelmed with a full plate and his needs.

Muffin & Biscuit are littermates (sisters) approx 6-7 months old. They were left in our fence with a note. Muffin is the fluffy one & Biscuit more resembles a smooth coated Collie. Both girls are very sweet and both are shy & need socialization & life experience. Muffin is the first to come around & is less shy than her sister. Biscuit needs a lot of confidence building to help her become a well adjusted adult. Neither one is a fear biter - just shy. Both are excellent with other dogs & live with several BIG dogs at their foster home (in MD). These pups are available for adoption separately or as a pair. They are learning basic manners, leash skills, crate training & housebreaking in their foster home. Their adopter(s) will need to agree to enroll them in a positive reinforcement basic obedience class which will help continue with their socialization & get them started on the right foot (paw). Adopters should have previous dog experience. Muffin & Biscuit have been vaccinated, microchipped & tested neg for heartworms. They have been spayed and are ready for new homes of their own. If you are interested in meeting them, please email for more information or fill out an application.

Adoption fee $200 for one or $300 for the pair.

Yoshi is a mostly Shar Pei puppy who was born on January 2, 2009. She is the runt of the litter & closely resembles her Mom. Dad was a traveling salesman. Yoshi is in a foster home with other dogs & a cat. She is learning crate training & housebreaking & doing well. Yoshi also likes to ride in the car & sometimes goes to work with her foster Dad. Yoshi enjoys kids and loves being outside. Yoshi's new family should have experience with a "strong" dog personality - as Shar Peis are not the dog for everyone. PLEASE read up on the breed before you apply. Since she is a mix, she will probably not have all the behavioral traits or health issues of a purebred Shar Pei but you should at least be well informed & therefore prepared. Yoshi's new family will also agree to enroll her in a positive reinforcement basic obedience class to continue with her socialization and start everyone off on the right foot (paw). Yoshi will be spayed on May 7th and will be available about a week after. She will also be vaccinated & microchipped prior to adoption. Please fill out an application or email for more info.

Adoption fee $200.

Peanut was brought in by a young couple who adopted her on impulse instead of thinking ahead. She is an active girl who will need lots of training & exercise (we do require a basic obedience class as part of the adoption process). She is 4 months old & gets along great with other dogs. Currently living with cats - will chase if they run but is not aggressive. It's all play for Peanut! Peanut's Mom was mostly Shar Pei. She looks like she might be part Pit Bull or Husky (curly tail). Very affectionate! Peanut has been spayed, vaccinated, started on heartworm prevention & microchipped & is ready for a home of her own. Please fill out an application or email for more information.

Home visit required & vet references will be checked.
We do recommend that you read up on the Shar Pei breed before applying.

Adoption fee $200

Caesar is a 3 month old Shar Pei mix pup (dob 2-6-09) His papers list him as a Shar Pei/Pit/Lab but he more resembles a Great Dane. We are not sure where the fluffy ears came from. He is going to be big (is already the same size as Peanut, our Shar Pei/Pit mix pup who is one month his elder). Caesar is pretty laid back for his age. He enjoys walks & playtime but can also be a couch potato. He does have a dominant personality & we are looking for a dog oriented home for him. A family who practices the Cesar Millan style of training would be excellent. We do require a basic obedience class as a part of our adoption procedures for all puppies under 1 yr. Cesar is already started in clicker raining and would certainly benefit from a group class with his new family. Caesar has been neutered, vaccinated, started on heartworm prevention & microchipped & is ready for a home of his own. We do recommend that you read up on the Shar pei breed before applying. Adoption application can be filled on-line. Email for more info.

Home visit required & vet references will be checked

Adoption fee $200

Smokey is a 3 month old Border Collie mix pup who was surrendered to us when the "landlord found out". He was a little shy at first but has since come out of his shell. Smokey is a happy, active, playful pup. LOVES to play with other dogs! Is fine with cats (came to us with a couple of kittens). Smokey, like all Border Collies, will need a family that can give him a "job" to do - daily structured exercise of some type be it agility, jogging, hiking, sheep herding - some type of activity where he can be focused (running around with the kids in the back yard doesn't count). We also do require that adopters of our young dogs (under the age of 12 months) attend a basic obedience class. Smokey seems very smart and should be at the top of his class. Smokey rides well in the car & we encourage his new family to take him out & about with them to help him become a social, well adjusted adult dog. Smokey will be neutered on 6/17 & available shortly thereafter. He will also have age appropriate vaccinations, microchip & be started on heartworm prevention. He is doing very well for his age in the housebreaking dept. Has not had one accident in his crate! Usually goes to the door when he needs to go out but his new parents should watch him for cues. Smokey is in a foster home NOT our adoption center - please fill out an application before making an appointment to see him.

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)

Harley is a sweet 7 yr old black & tan mini Dachshund. He was given up by his family when they fell on hard times. Harley was well taken care of & loved in his former home. They even had spinal surgery done on him about a year ago when he was suffering from some limb paralysis. The end result was that some calcification was removed from the spinal column & relieved the pressure on the spinal cord that was causing the paralysis. The surgery was successful & Harley can happily walk all the way around the 1/2 mile loop at the local park. He does, however, poop sometimes when he doesn't know it & needs a home where his people will not scold him for this. Harley gets along great with the other dogs, fine with cats also. He enjoys kids but because of his back, should not be with young kids that will be temped to pick him up. Please fill out an application or email for more information.

Adoption fee $100.

Puddin is a sweet little girl & the smallest of her litter. She will be one year old in April 2007. Puddin enjoys playing with the other dogs in her foster home and also loves to cuddle. Currently living with a cat too.

She is a little shy at first with new people & dogs and would benefit from a home that could get her out to see new people, places & things. She currently rides around in her foster Dad's work van some days and enjoys being co-pilot. Puddin is vaccinated & spayed & on heartworm prevention.

Adoption fee $150

Home visit required.

Mac is a wild & crazy guy! We think he is a Pit Bull or Mastiff mixed with German Shepherd (how else would you explain the ears) approx 2 yrs old. He has such an expressive (albeit goofy) face! Mac loves everybody!

His personality reminds us of "Chance" in the movie "The Incredible Journey". He is learning house manners but is still somewhat of a bull in a china shop. Needs a family who can keep him busy - as an extra added bonus he can tire your kids out for you. Mac's current foster Mom lives near a police academy & they said he would make a great search & rescue dog because of his drive.

They played the "search for the tennis ball" game with him and said he was very focused. Unfortunately, their program doesn't allow Pit Bull mixes so Mac was not able to sign up. Mac has been neutered, vaccinated, tested negative for heartworm and is ready for a new home now.

Adoption fee $150.

Home visit & vet refs required.

Oliver is a funny little Pit mix with a charming personality. He is a "leaner" and wants to be pressed up against your side. A young adult, we estimate Oliver to be about 1 1/2 years old. He loves people and gets along with other dogs. Doesn't seem too interested in the cats that he has met while on a leash. He is doing well with his crate training and seems to be housebroken. He has been neutered, vaccinated, hearwtorm tested neg & started on prevention.

Adoption fee $150.

Home visit required.

Sara is a 4 yr old Pit Bull mix (mixed maybe with Gazelle!). She is very sweet & very well behaved inside but outside she is active to a fault. She loves to chase critters and run & run & run. A true case of "the grass is always greener...", Sara will clear a 4' fence with ease and can even spring to the top of a 6' chain link and scramble over the top without a running start. We are perplexed at what would be the best home scenario for Sara - most likely it doesn't include a fence. If you are an active person - marathon trainee, tri-athlete, Appalachian Trail hiker - then Sara would be a great companion for you - could keep up every step of the way & rest easy at home. She settles down nicely inside actually & will lie down at your feet at your desk or cuddle with you on the couch. Sara is also crate trained & will snooze contentedly in her crate for hours waiting for her next walk, jog, hike. Enjoys riding in the car for it usually leads to an adventure! Surprisingly good with cats - she hangs out in our office which is filled with them. She is interested in the other critters - guinea pigs & bunnies - but has enough manners to sit patiently on the other side of the bars waiting.... Sara gets along well with other dogs & is fine with older kids - too active for wee little ones.

Adoption fee $150.

Gracie was adopted from us as a pup a couple of years ago & recently returned because of a new baby coming into the household. Gracie is about 2 1/2 - 3 yrs old and is a Rotti/Hound mix. She is a large girl (about as tall as a Rotti but not as solid) and can sometimes be a bull in a china shop. She is seeking an active family that can give her the outdoor activities that she loves and will let her snuggle up & watch TV at night. Gracie gets along with most other dogs although her exuberant play might be too much for some. She is not as fond of cats. Good with older children but might knock over an unsteady toddler. LOVES to ride in the car. Gracie is housebroken (rock solid says her foster dad) & crate trained. She is in a foster home in West Grove PA - please email for more info or fill out an application.

Adoption fee $150

Lacee came to us from her foster home in Georgia. She & Darryl lived together & are friends. Lacee is a bit shy & needs someone who can help her gain some confidence. Someone who has a quiet home & is not gone all day at work & can take her places & show her new things. She is not overly active but likes to play with other dogs & would be a great walking or jogging companion. Lacee gets along great with other dogs & has not paid attention to the cats here. She is housebroken & crate trained. Lacee has already been spayed & vaccinated & is on heartworm prevention. She will be microchipped prior to adoption. Please email for more info or fill out an application.

Adoption fee $150

Home visit & vet refs required.

Frederick was a surprise addition to a transport that was bringing dogs up from death row in a shelter in Georgia. Apparently his owner was turning him in as the van was getting loaded & since he is older (6 yrs) and has a cataract in one eye they thought he would have little chance of adoption & tossed him on board. He didn't come with any information but we feel he was well taken care of - he has a glossy coat & is a good weight. He does not know how to walk on a leash & doesn't like his collar pulled - so they must have had a fenced yard, maybe with a doggy door. Seems to be house broken. Fred gets along well with other dogs & cats. He does take a little while to warm up (he was scared to death on the transport) but will make a wonderful companion for someone. He is fine with our visiting children but is probably best in a home without small kids. Frederick was neutered on 11/14. Will also be vaccinated, tested for heartworms & microchipped. Please email for more info or fill out an application.

Adoption fee $150

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.

THIS IS A COURTESY LISTING FOR BUDDY. He is still residing with his family until a foster spot opens up. His family writes:

Buddy has been a great dog that we have had since a puppy. He has had one unfortunate problem though. He seems to have a alpha male thing going on with my teenage daughter. On three different occasions he has bitten one of her friends. This only happens when my husband and I are not home. The most recent bite was to our neighbor's daughter and unfortunately she is insisting that we get rid of Buddy. She is not a dog person. Also, we are afraid of being liable for another incident. Buddy has been home and around as many as 50 people at a time during a birthday party-all ages-and never a problem-only with my daughter's friends and only when myself or my husband are not home. He is shy with other dogs, curious about cats and fine around other children, including a one year old who was checking his teeth out at a recent birthday party. We are willing to wait for you to have room for Buddy, in the hopes that you can help find a home for him. Buddy would be a wonderful dog for an adult-only home. If you are interested in Buddy, please email for more info or fill out an application at which will be forwarded to Buddy's family.

Roger is so lovable and quite the clown. He isn't a puppy any more, but is still quite active and would like room to run. A fenced yard is a must as Roger would follow his nose right into the next county if he got a good scent. Roger likes to play with doggie toys and the other dogs in his foster home. He tries to chase the cat, but if it doesn't run, he backs off. Roger likes to be with his people and should probably be crated when no one is home since this is when he gets bored and mischievious. He is crate trained, but needs a refresher on his housetraining. Roger would probably do well with a doggie door, but it's not a requirement. A home with prior beagle experience would be a plus. Please fill out an application or email if you'd like to meet Roger.
UPDATE 5/20/2009 - Roger is now free in the house when no one is home and isn't getting into any trouble. He hasn't had any housebreaking accidents since his first day. He's also just started clicker training and has caught on quickly. Looks like he's a fast learner and really enjoys spending the time one-on-one.

Adoption fee $100.

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.

We were told that Benji is a Boston Terrier/Beagle mix but truthfully she doesn't look like either. Possibly there is some Pug buried in there but who knows for sure. Benji has a stocky build & thick, short fur. She is coal black with a white chest and striking blue eyes. Benji is a little unsure of new people but warms up quickly. She seems to be rightened of some men. She is a very loyal dog who likes to lie at your feet while you work or watch TV. Benji comes when called, knows sit & can be trusted off leash. She LOVES to ride in the car. Gets along well with other dogs and is totally fine with cats. Young, unpredictable children might be a bit much for her - she would prefer a quieter home with older kids or adults only. Benji is house trained & probably does not need a crate but will go in one if needed. Benji's family lost their home & had to give her up. Benji is now in a foster home - if you are interested in meeting her, please fill out an application or email for more info. Benji has been vaccinated, spayed, tested neg for heartworms & will be microchipped prior to adoption.

THIS IS A COURTESY LISTING FOR MOLLY'S FAMILY - she is not currently with CompAnimals Pet Rescue. If you are interested in adopting or meeting Molly, fill out an application. It will be forwarded to her family for review. Adoption is at the sole discretion of Molly's family.

Molly is a 3 year old, active lab mix. She loves to run, play, and take walks. Molly is GREAT with other animals and children. She is crate and house trained, she knows how to come and sit, but isnt so well with stay. She was brought into our family as an 8 week old puppy and grew up with her best friend, Anthony (my son). She was also raised with Max and Myla (cats). Unfortunally I am in no posittion to care for Molly at this time. I recently had to put my house up for rent and move into the basement of a friends house due to financial difficulties. The friend that I am now staying with is unable to have my pets in her home. Molly is a very loving, sweet, kind hearted dog. She would be a great addition to any family, large or small. She loves to be outside running and playing, so a family with a decent sized yard is preferred. If you are interested in Molly and would like more information or meeting her, please fill out the application online it will be forwarded to me. Or contact me directly via e-mail at danielleforan99@yahoo.com.

Niko is a 5 yr old bluetick Beagle who is down on his luck due to circumstances beyond his control. (Divorce). He has been well taken care of & lived as an inside dog with a family who also had a pre-teenage son. Niko has been vaccinated, tested for heartworms, neutered & microchipped. He is currently in a foster home in DE with 2 young girls, other dogs & cats. He does well with all of the above. His foster mom writes ------- Niko is doing great! We are having alot of fun with him. He is a really good dog. We can tell that he had a full time dad because he is especially affectionate with Ash (foster dad). He is getting along well with Casey and Midge (the dogs), and is getting more curious about the cats. No meanness toward the cats, but he does like to chase them at times, trying to play with them. He is totally housebroken, no issues whatsoever. Niko is the most proficient "beggar" I have ever seen. He will sit up on his rear with his front paws up, and just sit like that for a while - at mealtimes to ask for food, or as a way of asking to jump on the couch or bed, and I have even caught him sitting like that at the back door. He loves running around the back yard with the girls. I have been keeping him in the crate during the day which he is fine with, but at night he sleeps in one of our beds and is not shy at all about fluffing the sheets to make himself comfortable. He is a good snuggler. Niko does have more energy than Casey and Midge, but they are trying to keep up with him. I am really surprised that his owner gave him up, because he really is a nice, well mannered dog and seems to have adapted here just fine. ----------- If you are interested in meeting or adopting Niko, please fill out an application on-line or email for more info.

Shadow is an adorable little rough coat Jack Russell, 6-7 yrs old. She was recently returned to us when her handicapped owner could not keep up with her. Shadow is actually kind of mellow for a JRT but she does have that terrier personality. Shadow loves going on walks & flushing little critters from the bushes! She is also a little snuggle bug and loves to cuddle. Will even let you sleep in on Sundays! Shadow is 110% housebroken as well as crate trained. She is an opinionated little dog and might decide that she needs to protect your house from wandering UPS men - would do best in a home with JRT experience or someone familiar with (and able to practice) Cesar Millan type training/behavior modification. Shadow is good with cats & other dogs (although she can be a little bossy). She thinks it's her job to wash ears & eyeballs of the other dogs! Shadow would do great with an active person who can take her places. She is a great little portable size & makes a good driving buddy! Shadow has been spayed, vaccinated & is on heartworm prevention. She is staying at our Adoption Center in Landenberg - visiting hours Wed-Sat 12-5. Please email for more information or fill out an application.

Cupcake was found as a stray by a family who came to love her very much but their alpha female dog & Cuppers didn't get along so she came here (and they visit). Cupcake is a strong dog and needs someone who can keep up with her. She needs a daily outlet for her energy - a long walk, game of catch the hose or similar stuff. She is started in clicker training & would benefit from further obedience work. Would benefit from getting out & about - going for rides in the car & getting desensitized to new sites etc. She walks well on a leash (until she sees another dog - then she pulls like crazy & we are working on this). She gets along great with male bully breed types - Sherman & Mister are her best friends here. Cupcake gets along well with our teenage volunteers (13 & up) and also with the kids in the family who found her (about the same ages). Prefers a cat-free home. Cupcake has been spayed, vaccinated & microchipped. She is on heartworm & flea prevention. You can meet Cupcake at our adoption center Wed-Sat 12-5. Email for more info or fill out an application.

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.

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.
