Looking to add a new companion to the family? There are dozens of cuddly canines up for adoption at animal shelters in and around Pittsburgh, so you won't have to look far to find the perfect fit.

(Details like pet availability, training, vaccinations and other features are based on data provided by Petfinder and may be subject to change; contact the shelter for the latest information.)


Ripple, Australian shepherd

Ripple is a female Australian shepherd dog currently residing at The Foster Farm.

Ripple's ideal forever home would be a cat-free environment. Ripple has been vaccinated. She's mastered her house-training etiquette.

Here's more about Ripple::

She is crate-trained, house-trained, and extremely dog friendly and social. Ripple is incredibly smart and active, but is able to relax as well. Potential families must be involved in dog sports or willing to get started. A home with a fenced yard and another highly active dog would be ideal for this girl, but she would also do well with a family who travels often and takes her along. She is very friendly with kids, but due to her energy level and agility, kids ages 6 and older would be best for her.

Masha, pit bull terrier

Masha is a female pit bull terrier dog staying at Humane Animal Rescue (North).

Masha is already spayed and vaccinated.

Here's more about Masha:

Masha is a young and rambunctious dog, who would love a forever home where she can be your exercise partner. Masha enjoys long walks, and she has been working on her leash manners. This happy-go-lucky pup needs some work on her manners. Masha also loves toys of all shapes and sizes. We recommend crate and behavioral training. Masha would do best as the only animal in the household.

Mozart, pit bull terrier

Mozart is a sweet male pit bull terrier dog currently residing at Humane Animal Rescue (North).

He is already neutered and vaccinated.

Here's more about Mozart: 

This pup is a young and active dog. Mozart can be a little uncertain around new people, but bring treats and he will be your best buddy in no time. Mozart is still working on manners, but he is extremely treat motivated and has the potential to be amazing. Mozart walks wonderfully on a leash. Mozart would love an active home where he can have plenty of exercise with multiple walks every day, followed by snuggle sessions. Mozart is a cool dog who should be the only animal in a dog-savvy household.
