ADOPTABLE DOGS & PUPPIES
Kennel License #13561
PO Box 286 Schnecksville, PA 18078
Meet Cider!
Cider is a young adult Silky Terrier mix. He is neutered, up to date on vaccines, microchipped, and ready for a home of his own! He is an energetic, friendly boy who would do best in an active home that will continue his training. He does well with other dogs and seems ok with cats.
Meet Josie!
Josie is a 7 year old 26 lbs Pomsky from a puppy mill. She has a Husky personality and acts like a young girl. She is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations.
Josie is a wonderful loving girl. Her new family must allow her time to adjust at her own pace and give plenty of time to build her trust. Rescues use the rule of 3: 3 days to decompress, 3 weeks to learn your routine, 3 months to feel a part of the family. This allows rescue animals to acclimate to their new home. Josie loves kids, she does well with other dogs and cats. She’s very shy with people. Her training should help her trust humans.
Josie does well in public walking with people around, as long as she’s not in a crowded area. Josie will prefer a family who have a quiet home, another dog and have time to continue training, walking, and play time with her. A PHYSICAL FENCE IS REQUIRED.
Meet Missy!
Missy is a 12 lb Bichon mix, who is approximately 5 years old. This little lady is a puppy mill survivor. She is loving her freedom and can’t wait to find a family to call her own! She loves other dogs, is friendly, and walks well on a leash.
Missy is spayed, teeth cleaned, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines.
Meet Mystic!
Mystic has fantasized about her knight in shining armor to rescue her from the puppy mill. Her time has come thanks to Starting Over Animal Rescue!
Mystic is a 5 year old Bichon who is a friendly little angel still learning trust. She was severely matted, but her new coat will come in as beautiful as her. Mystic is cat friendly and good with respectful kids. She will do best in a quiet home with another dog to be by her side.
Mystic is up to date on vaccines and spayed.
Meet Honey!
Honey is a 5/6 year old Bichon Poodle mix. She is a puppy mill survivor and she is still working on trusting humans. A SECURE FENCED IN YARD is required. No children under 10 in the home as she prefers a quiet environment. Honey would do well with or without another dog. She is doing very well with potty training.
Honey is spayed, up to date on vaccines, and microchipped.

Is Linus, 2 year old beagle/chihuahua available to foster to adopt?
Hi Brenda!
We are considering a foster to adopt for Linus, but have to get approval. Please fill out an application for review. Once we receive it, someone will be in contact to talk about options for Linus.
Thank you! SOAR Volunteer.
I have some questions about Ray. Does he have SARDS? Does he use a Walkin Blind Dog Harness? I am interested in adopting him. Does he know basic Blind dogs commands or do I need to teach him? He is young enough to learn basic 1 word commands and live a happy life. I have application on file.
Hi Deborah,
For more information about Ray, please message the foster who has posted him on Facebook, for the best up to date information. If you have not already, please fill out an application to start the approval process.
Thank you! SOAR Volunteer
We are interested in adopting Petunia. We have a Cavopoo who needs a companion. She lost her big brother a month ago. He was a rescue and handicapped. Please advise if she is still available and the cost.
Regards
Diane Chladni
Hi Diane,
Please know that our SOAR Volunteers are working diligently to review all applications. There have been many applications received for Petunia. Someone will be in contact with you if she is still available. Stay tuned as Petunia’s Mom will also be getting posted for adoption!

I filled out a application for Ray. Do have experience with blind dogs. Very interested . About 2 wks ago. Is he still available?

Thank you for checking in.
Hi I am interested in Waylon! I filled out an application a few days ago and wanted to confirm it was received. I was also wondering when I’d hear back?
Thank you,
Lydia
Hi Lydia! I have passed your information along and you should be hearing from her early next week! Thank you for reaching out & have a great weekend!
HI,
I am very interested in adopting Ollie or Gilbert.
Can I adopt right away, and forego the foster process?
Thanks
Hello! They are all currently in foster homes. All you have to do is apply!
Please head to our adoption application tab to get started. Thank you!
why is it so hard to adopt a dog when there so many qualified and more than loving and pet friendly people who need a friend to help them with loneliness to have a friend to wake up to every day no wonder there are so many pets in rescue centers i am very frustrated i just want a friend
Hi Diane, Have you put an application in with us for any in-particular available animal? If you haven’t fill out an application yet, that is the first step to finding you a great companion.
I filled out 2 applications on fri. When will I hear anything? When will you be at petco so I can see these dogs?
Please allow 5-7 days for a response from one of our volunteers. Once approved, a time will be scheduled for you to meet the dog you are interested in. Not every weekend are the dogs at Petco to meet them. I would suggest following SOAR Adoptables on Facebook to see who will be there week to week. Thank you!
I filled out an application a week ago and never heard from anyone. I guess Misty was adopted because I don’t see her listed anymore. Is there a reason I never received a call?
Hi Kathy,
Please understand that we get many applications and our rescue is fully volunteer based. We unfortunately don’t have the ability to call every single application we receive and ask to stay up to date on available animals on both our Facebook and website. Your application is good for 30 days if another dog comes along that catches your eye.
Thank you!
Looking to adopt 2 older dogs that do well with other dogs and kids. Looking for a weight of about 30-35 lbs. no pitbulls. We do not have cats. Please let us know if there are any options for adoption. Thank you, Ann Mitman
Hi Ann, We do not have two older dogs at this time fitting your description. If you would like to fill out an application, they are valid for 30 days. That way, if we do have 2 older dogs you are interested in meeting, you already have an approved app. Thank you!
I’m very interested in Rocky Balboa, Boston Terrier. I’ve adopted previously from SOAR. Our dog is now 4 y.o. I’ve submitted a new application. Do I come to Petco in Whitehall to see Rocky on Saturday 2/1/25? Thank you!
Hi Bonnie,
Thank you for reaching out about Rocky! Your submitted application will be reviewed by our volunteers. Your application is good for 30 days. Once approved, a time will be scheduled for you to meet the dog you are interested in. Not every weekend are the dogs at Petco to meet them. I would suggest following SOAR Adoptables on Facebook to see who will be there week to week. Thank you!
Hello.
