Did you know…

Pets Come First is a non-profit organization, Adoption Center. We rely on fundraising and donations to keep the doors open and the animals fed. Because of a tight budget and limited space, we have to utilize a waiting list for animal surrenders. We ask that while you are on our wait list, or before making the decision to surrender your pet, that you check with your friends and fam

ily to see if they can help re-home the dog or cat. Ultimately it is the owner’s responsibility to find their pet a new home. We are very lucky to have a great shelter and be able to take in as many animals as we can, but sadly we only have so much space! We ask that you be patient when calling and leaving a message or requesting information. Feeding, walking and cleaning up after the animals is our #1 priority. If you have cruelty issues or concerns, please have the animal vetted if possible in an emergency, or call PCF for the cruelty agent’s information. If you find a lost dog or cat, please take the animal to a vet to check for a micro-chip first, then contact PCF, 3WZ, your local police station and Lyons Kennel to file a “found” report. We will also share Lost and Found postings on our page to help spread the word! If you have a legal issue with an animal, please call your local or state police. If you suspect abuse of an animal, please call your local police department as well. By law, an animal is required to have food, water and shelter. We wish we could do it all, but we need your help! Help us help them. If you would like to volunteer, please visit our website www.petscomefirst.net and fill out the volunteer form. To make a monetary donation, you can also visit the website. We are closed to the public except Saturday and Sunday from noon to 4 pm. Those are open cat hours only. People interested in dogs must do
an approved application and make an appointment. Supply donations can be dropped off in our shed behind the shelter any time between 8 am and 4:30 pm or left at the front or back door. Thank you all! ♥ ♥ ♥

Introducing Riley! Riley is a 1 year old, Chocolate Lab. She has lots of energy to spare. She loves to play with other dogs and can be around kids 12+. She's a lot of bark when she meets people or sees a stranger. She doesn't mean anything by it. She just think she's all tough. She does like to jump up on people (puppy manners) this is a habit that can be broken with training/time and patience. We'll test her with cats tomorrow.

Great news for Maggie on this chilly day! She's off to her forever home!

Tongue out Tuesday! 👅

We'd love to see your PCF Alumni!

Warm Welcome to Gus! Gus is looking for an active family that can either take him walking, hiking or running. He would also do well with a fenced in yard but its not a must! Hes a 6 year old, Coonhound Mix (we do not know what hes mixed with) and he's a whopping 69 lbs! Gus loves other dogs but can not be in a home with cats or small critters. He is a strong boy that could use some leash manners but we have no doubt that he'd learn fast as he is a very smart boy! He does wear a muzzle for vetting as he is a nervous nelly with being poked/nail trimmings (cant blame him there, us too!) He does best with kids 12+ as little ones make him nervous. He's a very sweet boy looking for his forever home!

The Kongs seem to be a hit!! Well.... not with everyone lol. Creed & our little dogs were not impressed. You can see Creeds judgemental face below. 😹

P.S. Don't mind their messy blankets, they're like toddlers and ruin their beds as soon as we make them 😹

Ghost is back with us due to not being good with the other dogs in the home. Unless someone is willing to train him/socialize him he is going to have to be the only pet. Training/socializing him is NOT going to be an easy task. It is hard work that takes dedication, patience and a lot of time. He did well with their kids that were 3+, however he does get mouthy when playing so if you have small children take that into consideration. Breed experience is a must! A fenced in yard is not required as long as you can give him the exercise he needs (walking, running, hiking, etc.). If you think your home is the right place for this drama king, let us know!

Preparing for the next 2 cold days. Cindy and Cheyenne are preparing Kongs for our dogs. Applesauce, pumpkin, peanut butter and assorted veggies.

Rayne;

9yo spayed female gsd
Friendly with people/kids
Dog selective/reactive (she has been acclimated to my 2 Malinois.) May take some time to warm up to new dogs but if taken slowly she is good. She definitely would probably just be better off as the only dog in the household so that she can get the attention she deserves. I started working on basic leash manners, recall, and basics like sit/down. I rescued her from someone rehoming her; her owner was an elderly lady who got put into a nursing home. The daughter was gonna BE her because she could no longer care for her.

We are running critically low on both non clumping cat litter and Purina Cat Chow! Your donations help us keep the new kids happy and clean. We feed Purina Cat Chow (the blue bag) and we use any brand of non clumping litter. Both are welcome and appreciated! If you're able to donate any you can drop it off at the shelter or have it sent directly to us at:

2451 General Potter Highway
Centre Hall, PA, 16828

Thank you so much! Your support means so much to us and all of our animals.

Introducing our three newest special needs kids. Four month old kittens Ivan (grey), Katya and Nina (calicos). These three are littermates and all three born with CH. They’re adorable, super sweet and extremely playful. While they have gotten better with practice and exercise, they’re still very unsteady on their feet. Because of this they need a special family. One with the time, patience and willingness to work with them and adapt to their needs. If you have questions or you’re interested in meeting Ivan, Katya or Nina, please send us a message or call us a call at 814-364-1725. **approved application required for adoption. Application can be found on our website and emailed to us at [email protected]
