Home CPAA and its member organizations are working hard to create a no-kill community in central Pennsylvania. The animals featured on this page are a testament to our member groups' rescue and rehoming efforts. Each of these animals needs -- and deserves -- a home of its own. Won't you consider adopting one of them?
Save the Date for CPAA's 6th Annual Compassion with Fashion!
Compassion with Fashion will be held on Sunday, April 26, 2009 in the beautiful grand ballroom of the West Shore County Club, 100 Brentwater Road, Camp Hill.
The doors will open at noon with delicious hors d'oeuvres, amazing raffle baskets, and one-of-a–kind silent auction items. A vegetarian gourmet luncheon will follow with a fashion show featuring adoptable animals from CPAA member groups, escorted down the runway by their human counterparts wearing fashions from The Bon Ton and jewelry by Silpada. Several local celebrities will also walk the catwalk!
Premier runway seats are $100, or a table of 10 for $1,000 (only seven premier runway tables are available). All other seats are $50, or a table of ten for $500. Seating is limited to 250 people. For reservations call 717-732-0611. All proceeds from the event will go toward funding CPAA’s “De-Sex in the City” program, which provides low and no cost spay/neuter surgeries and vaccines to dogs and cats throughout Central Pennsylvania. More details will follow, but mark your calendars now – this is an event you won't want to miss!! "Business casual" attire is fine, but please note that jeans/denim are not permitted at the West Shore Country Club.
This beautiful boy is Yoda. HBBR was initially called out to the shelter to meet a boxer mix who had been there for about two months and his time was coming to an end. When we got there, we found this gorgeous boy, and although we weren’t convinced that he was a boxer mix, he was just too sweet to leave behind where we knew that his fate would be sealed. We were told by all of the volunteers at the shelter that he was their favorite, and they were all so grateful that we were giving this guy a chance. We believe Yoda is likely a Staffordshire Terrier, possibly mixed with boxer based on this cropped tail and great personality. Yoda is approximately 5 years old and has a very sweet, mellow and loving disposition. He loves to hang out with people, and will follow you all over the house just to be by your side, but at the same time is very low maintenance. He loves everyone that he meets, big and small, and has kisses for everyone. He is housebroken and enjoys playing with other dogs. He is fine when his foster mom is in or around his food, but guarded when the other dogs try to share, therefore he is fed separately to keep the peace. So far he has ignored the cats in his foster home, unless they go near his food, and therefore we think he would be better off in a home without cats. We are really confident that Yoda will make a great companion for some lucky family, and hope that someone will see in him what we did and give him the forever home that he deserves. Yoda's ears are doing very well but from the neglect that he suffered, he does have some permanent damage to his ear drums causing him to not hear as well. He isn't completely deaf, which is great news. He is a cuddler! He wants a family who don't mind if he curls up on the couch to snooze. (Although he would prefer to be in your lap lol!) He is a big old softy, who just loves all the attention he can get! He is such a great boy! He is also a TV star! He did a commercial with Faulkner Subaru that will be starting around Thanksgiving! Yoda would love to be with you for the holidays! See YODA here: http://www.boxerpenn.com/available/index.php?ID=199 Yoda's Commercial - Click on either picture to see a commercial about Yoda.
Burt and Ernie are
two sweet dogs that were found abandoned around Eizabethtown, PA.
Burt is a Spaniel, about 6-7 years old, grey white and in good
shape. Ernie is a male golden mix, maybe 10-11 years old, showing
age, is about 60 pounds, and has red-brown short hair. Both are
gentle, inseparable, and quiet. These guys are available together
for a special adoption fee. Please give them a chance at a new life!
Chester How About Me? Chester was found as a stray living on the streets of Palmyra when he was humanely trapped by one of our volunteers. After being neutered, we discovered that he was quite a friendly gentleman, but he had some health issues that needed attention. Chester had a severe chemical burn on his front paw, ear infections, feline herpes, and a bladder infection. Wow -- this poor guy needed help badly! PAWS went to work and gave him lots of love and TLC. With special care, this orange and white lover boy has recovered nicely. We believe Chester is about eight years old. He is one of the most affectionate cats you could ever meet. A true lap cat, Chester loves people, but would prefer to be an only cat. Chester forms close bonds with the people he loves, and doesn't want to share his “people” with another cat. Chester eats a special food because of his old urinary problem. The special food isn't much trouble, and it's kept the urinary problem at bay. Chester has been in foster care for a while, and is anxious to go to his forever home. He loves to play, he’s cute, and he's loveable -- won't you give him a try? If you're interested in learning more about Chester, please contact Michelle at michelle@kaley.net.
Jordan Jordan is a three-year-old male German Shepherd Dog mix who is looking for an energetic family who will take him on long walks or jogs. While he prefers to be the only male dog in the house, he doesn't mind sharing space with cats. Jordan lived with a trainer for a year and was taught basic manners to keep his enthusiastic nature in check. After burning off some of his energy, he loves to cuddle up on the couch and watch TV. Jordan is always ready to go for a car ride, or just hang out with kids and adults. He's a very happy guy, fully of energy, and ready to do whatever you like to do -- he just really wants to find a special family who will continue to exercise him, continue to reinforce the good manners that he has already learned, and love him for the rest of his life. If you are an active family and looking for an active dog to match, contact Robin at furryfriendsnet@aol.com for more information. You can fill out an adoption application on the Furry Friends Network web site, www.furryfriendsnetwork.com (Look under How to Adopt). If you would like to see Jordan in person, stop by the "Race for their Lives" charity fundraiser on September 22. Learn how to sponsor Jordan by clicking here.
Clay Clay is a three-year-old orange male domestic short hair kitty who has been in the Furry Friends Network foster care program since he and his brother were found as young kittens roaming the streets of New Cumberland. Clay’s brother, Morgan, found his forever home long ago, but Clay’s shy personality has made his search for a special adoptive home a little more challenging. Clay is confident with other cats, eager to interact with them and rub up against them and would be a great companion cat for any feline; however, he is a little hesitant with humans. Although he loves to be petted and to be near his special people, he's still a little shy around strangers and would do best in a home that generally is calm and quiet. One of Clay's favorite pastimes is to sit in the window and watch the birds go by. His favorite toys are jingle bell balls that roll across the floor and those little furry mice!!! Like Jordan, above, Clay is participating in the fundraising challenge for the Furry Friends Network's "Race for their Lives." If you would like to sponsor Clay, click here. Clay has become very comfortable in his current foster home and would love to find the same comfort in a forever home that will be patient with him and love him for who he is. For more information about Clay, contact Shawna at ffncatwoman@comcast.net, or fill out an adoption application on the Furry Friends Network web site, www.furryfriendsnetwork.com (look under How to Adopt).
