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 Arby!
This boy is a young adult male chihuahua mix. Arby is a wonderful little pup who just wants to be loved! He is working on his confidence and may be a little shy at first but will be all tail wags and kisses once he is comfortable! Arby gets along well with other dogs. No cats please.
Arby is up to date on vaccines, neutered, and microchipped.
Meet Wendy!
Wendy is a 4-5 month old chihuahua mix. This little girl is a ball of energy! She is a very happy pup, would do well as the only pup as she is very loyal to her humans and loves to have them all to her self! Wendy is working hard on crate and potty training, and she gets along very well with cats.
Wendy is up to date on age appropriate vaccines and dewormed. Her spay will be included in her adoption fee.
Meet Denali!
Denali is a 2-3 year old 34lb Mini Bernadoodle who was rescued from a puppy mill. He is a little shy, very sweet, and gets along well with other dogs! He also walks well on leash, and is doing well with potty training!
Denali is neutered, up to date with vaccines, and microchipped.
Meet Snoop!
Snoop is a 3 month old mixed breed. He is a southern gentleman, very laid back, loving puppy. He enjoys playing with other dogs and snuggling with his foster parents. He is doing very well with training.
Snoop is already neutered and microchipped, up to date on vaccines and dewormed.
Meet Pixie!
*special needs*
Pixie is a confident, full of spirit, loving 3 month old possible Cattle dog mix. Pixie is deaf, but she can handle herself like the rest of her foster friends. She is a sweet little lady who loves to cuddle and gives the best kisses.
Pixie is a smart pup! Her many talents include knowing basic commands in sign language, potty training, and being crate trained. She would do best in a home with a fenced in yard, no cats, and a family dedicated to her continued training.
Meet Goldie!
Goldie is a 2 year old Cavapoo and is one of the puppy mill dogs who arrived to SOAR recently. She is sweet, yet shy. Goldie gets excited when her foster family returns home. She loves to play with her foster friends, so another small dog friend is needed in her new home. Goldie can scar easily, so a fenced yard is required. Another reason is this poor little girl was kept in a crate with no freedom. She’s enjoying her freedom running in the yard.
Meet Gracie!
Gracie is a super sweet, 7 year old Cavapoo. She gets along with all people and dogs. Sadly her first 7 years of life have not been comfortable ones in the puppy mill she came from, but she is a forgiving girl and wants to make up for lost time by being with a human 100% of the time. Her favorite thing is cuddling with any human who is willing to sit and spend time with her. When left alone or overnight, she seems to feel most comfortable in a crate. She would do best in a home where someone is home more than not and patient to continue to work on house training.

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!

Thank You very much. I understand you are very busy.
Look forward to hearing from you.
Diane Chladni

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!
