ADOPTABLE DOGS & PUPPIES
Kennel License #13561
PO Box 286 Schnecksville, PA 18078
Meet Star!
Star is a 3 year old Shihtzu who is searching for someone who is just as special as she is! Her back legs are paralyzed and she happily uses a wheelchair. She is trained to wheel herself to a pee pad to go potty. She LOVES to play fetch with her toys!


Meet Ruthie!
Ruthie is an 12 week old cattle dog mix who is the sweetest and makes you fall in love within seconds of meeting her! She is very smart, loves attention, and would be best in an active home.
Ruthie is full of cute little quirks. She loves chewing on shoes and hiding them from you, loves cuddles, and loves running around with her foster siblings! Ruthie is doing well in a crate, understands potty training (with a few accidents) and just wants to be your best friend!
Meet Barney and Roscoe!
*Bonded pair*
This wonderful duo found themselves searching for a new family when their elderly owner could no longer care for them. Both are neutered and up-to date on vaccines.
Barney is a 7 year old, 25 lb, beagle mix and Roscoe is a 5 year old, 33 lb, mixed breed. Both boys are the perfect mix of calm and playful. Barney loves to lounge on the couch and sleep in bed with his foster humans, while Roscoe loves his squeaky toys and going for long walks.
These boys have been together for years, and we feel they should be adopted together. Both boys are reactive when meeting a new dog and require a slow introduction. They are cat friendly. They are shy when meeting new people but make friends fast! The ideal home has a fenced in yard and no small children. They are also working on their figures as they are a bit over weight! Consistent diet and exercise will have them looking great in no time!


Meet Chica!
Chica (also known as Cee Cee) is a 6-8 year old Shi Tzu. She is such a happy young lady, loving life inside a home. She is working very hard with house training and learning how to be a playful dog. Cee Cee gets along well with other dogs, cats, and children. She loves meeting new people.
Cee Cee will be available after she is spayed. If you are interested in bringing Cee Cee into your family, please note “Chica” on the application.
Meet Tucker!
Tucker is a 2 year old purebred Welsh Corgi. He is a retired breeder dog who was saved from a life of suffering in a puppy mill. Now he is ready to enjoy is life with a loving family! He has a full tail & beautiful blue eyes.
Tucker is neutered, up to date on vaccines, and microchipped.

JOIN OUR FOSTER TEAM!
Once you help save one, you will want to save them all. Interested in learning more?

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!

Look forward to hearing from you.

I filled out a application for Ray. Do have experience with blind dogs. Very interested . About 2 wks ago. Is he still available?
Hello! Yes, Ray is still available. I will pass your message along to our application team!
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.
I’m checking on when we can meet Rocky the Boston Terrier. Our application is in the system.
We adopted from SOAR 4 years ago. We have a Jack Russell mix.
Than you.
Bonnie and Frank Cullen.
Hello, we recently applied for a puppy that had been adopted. Is our application still good for Luna or her sister?
Thank you
Once approved, applications are good for 30 days!
