Elsa, shepherd and terrier mix
Elsa is a female shepherd and terrier mix in the care of Furry Tales International Rescue Team.
Elsa will get along great with other dogs, cats and children. She's already house-trained, spayed and vaccinated.
Here's more about Elsa:
Elsa is a 55-pound active and loyal girl. She will need some time to get to know and trust her new owners. She is quite active and loves the outdoors, and will require a large well-secured fenced in yard. Elsa is also exceptionally smart and creative. She has a good recall and easily learns new commands. This pup enjoys interactions with other dogs that are ready for lots of energetic play, but acts guarded towards other dogs while on a leash. She has a high prey drive, but can get along with cats at home. Elsa doesn't know how to play with toys yet, so she shares them well, but feels protective of her bed and food.

Tabasco, Australian cattle dog
Tabasco is an adorable male Australian cattle dog dog being cared for at Australian Cattle Dog Rescue Association, Inc.
Tabasco is happy to keep company with other dogs. He's mastered his house-training etiquette. He's already neutered, and has all his shots.
Here's more about Tabasco:
Tabasco is a 30-pound social pup, who is about one to two years old. He is playful and loves to wrestle. He is social with humans and can be left in a crate for a work day. Tabasco would also benefit from continued training. While he is not particularly high energy for a young herding mix, he does need to work on manners. He would do best in a home with children over 12 years old and no cats.

Flower, mixed breed
Flower is a female mixed breed dog currently residing at PAWS (Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society).
She is spayed, and has all her shots.
Here's more about Flower:
Flower is as dainty and sweet as her name implies. This high energy four-year-old pup is comfortable on a leash and enjoys going on walks. She would be suitable as the only pet in a home, but she could live with other well-mannered pets. The ideal home environment would provide Flower with ample socialization and plenty of exercise.
