 | This is Darby, an Australian Shepherd mix, a young, adult male. Darby enjoys retrieving balls and sticks. He often goes into a crouch position as if he wants to herd. He is a large dog and needs an adept handler and a job to keep him busy. He is intelligent and may outwit a novice dog handler. 05/04/2008 |
 | Henry is an elderly dog who was brought to the shelter as a stray. He has been fostered for about a year and is now an indoor dog. He loves his crate, plays happily with other dogs, is housetrained, sits and stays on command, is good on a leash, asks for attention politely. He'll be a good pet for a quiet family with older children. The big picture illustrates how Henry handles other dogs. When you call, mention that this dog is fostered by Dody. 05/04/2008 |
 | Bella is a 40 lb., two-year-old, Staffordshire Terrier mix. She is a warm, friendly, loving dog who is looking for someone to adore. She wants nothing more than to please, and she learns quickly. Unfortunately, she is a bit depressed at the shelter, so if you come to check her out she may not be the outgoing, happy dog we know her to be. She's a low- to moderate-maintenance dog, and loves her bed! Like many dogs that belong to the bully breeds (such as pitbulls), she needs to be an only pet. 04/01/2008 |
 | Tillie female-beagle-adult-stray Tillie is like a sweet little lady. She's gentle and submissive, the perfect lap dog. She's a good leash walker and would be an excellent addition to your family. 03/07/2008 |
 | Mocha Mocha is a beautiful female mix about one and a half years old. She came into the shelter as a stray and is in search of a permanent loving home. She has energy and enjoys playing ball, but she also loves to cuddle, and is perfectly happy as a lap dog. She is affectionate towards all people, and attaches easily. She is incredibly sweet and absolutely loves attention. Mocha gets along with cats and rides well in the car. She is house-broken and would make a perfect family pet. If you are interested in meeting Mocha or have any questions please contact the shelter as she is in a foster home. 10/17/2007 |

Please get in touch with our shelter and visit us if you are interested in a wonderful pet. We have many more dogs than you see here, puppies and adults. You can visit us regularly, until you find the right pet for you, and you are welcome to continue visiting us after we have given you your new friend, just to say hello to our staff and to see our new arrivals. We can also help you with the training and ordinary care of your new pet. If you have a specific type of dog that you would like to have, you can contact us and we will notify you when such an animal arrives. We also can put you in touch with specific-breed rescue organizations. Our overall goal is to put pets in touch with potential pet owners.
Responsible Dog Care and Mixed Breeds
As you look over the list of dogs who need homes (and it grows daily), you may note the number of mixed-breed puppies. At the Humane Society we love mixed breeds, and purebreds, but we see more than we can help. If you are a pet owner, or a potential pet owner, you know what causes these unwanted mixed-breeds: doin' what comes naturally. But naturally, to a dog, means having puppies and then turning them out to whatever fate awaits. Please spay (female) or neuter (male) your pet if you do not intend to breed her or him for puppies. Even in rural Greene County, the cars are faster than the dogs, and the livestock don't like wild dogs either.
Information on This Page
In some cases we post animals for rescue groups that accept certain breeds and then try to find homes for them. When you see us mention a group or a name, this does not mean that you cannot inquire about the animal. We are looking for final adopters, and the rescue group is only a place to foster an animal until a permanent home can be found. Call if one of these pets interests you.
If there is a number in the writeup, you can tell us that number to make it easier for us to locate the animal.
While you are here, you may want to check our rules for adopting a pet.
Sometimes you will find our animals available for adoption at 
in Washington, PA or Monroeville, PA.
