Volunteer Recognition Day 2024

Our Social Media Guru, Jacquie asked me to write up something about our volunteers.   I thought how can I make people understand just how important, amazing and wonderful each one of them is? I don’t want to start naming names as I wouldn’t want to miss anyone.  ...

#ReadyToBeAdopted #TakeMeHome #RescuePartnerAdoptMe

Alexa is all smiles because it is Friday!

Alexa is still available for adoption. Please help us share her story so that she can find her forever home.

Alexa is a 10-year-old Pomeranian, and she is fostered by Senior Hearts Rescue & Renewal in Bradfordwoods, PA.

Alexa is adorable and very loving. She warms up to people pretty quickly. She also does well in the car, making her a great buddy to do errands with and take to new, interesting places for walks!

She has a lot of personality! One of her more cat-like quirks is that she’ll try and make a bed out of anything. She will try and squeeze into a shoe box only to realize, yes, it’s too small. It’s very cute.

She is very food-motivated and loves to search for treats in her snuffle mat.

Alexa’s ideal home is one where her forever parents will be home more often than not. If you work from home, you are in luck because she is a great assistant!

She loves going on multiple walks a day to keep her fit and healthy. She will need to be brushed regularly to keep her coat looking beautiful and taken to the groomer every now and again!

Her perfect retirement home might be one story given her arthritis situation, but she does do stairs just fine. She definitely wouldn’t mind being carried upstairs though.

She would love a fur sibling close in age and size to hang out with when you aren't home.

Because of her age, we think she would be best suited for previous/current dog owners. Experience with seniors would be preferred. All in all, she is a pretty easy dog to have around!

Alexa can be adopted within a two-hour driving radius of Pittsburgh, PA. If you want to make this beautiful girl a part of your family, you must first complete the adoption application at:
