Griffin Pond Animal Shelter

This is the official social media page for Griffin Pond Animal Shelter. Thank you for visiting!

First and foremost, we thank everyone who has adopted for choosing adoption as the best option! Here you will find some remarkable stories that will make you smile and help you understand why each and every one of us at Griffin Pond Animal Shelter believes in second chances. Often many of us, including staff members and regular volunteers keep in touch with some of the adopters because we all fall

in love with many different animals each day that touch our hearts for one reason or another. Bittersweet tears frequent our faces each day when we must say good bye to some of our special friends (who we bonded with while caring for them) on their special day when we get to send them off to a better life. I wish more people got to see the “before and after” pictures, or that priceless look on an animal’s face when you watch as he/she anxiously leaps into a car to finally go to their FOREVER HOME. Many people ask, "how can you handle working at a shelter?" True, most days bring each of us heartbreak but that "aha moment" is exactly why each member of the team at Griffin Pond Animal Shelter does what we do, every day.

Spiffy is coming along very well.
He’s growing into his own and he’s simply beautiful.
We will never understand how he could have been treated this way but we are hopeful that he will continue on his forward path and never look back.

The time has come to begin looking for his forever home where he can continue his journey.

He weighed 55 pounds on intake , a far cry from the size he should be as a male GSD .
He’s approximately 7 years old, no cats for this boy.
He is on the mend and steadily gaining weight and we hope he’s on his way out of the shelter soon.

He’s tested very well with other dogs but a meet with any dogs in the home is always required .

Itchy is a 6 year old loaf of bread 🥖
What you see is what you get.
He loafs , he’s a loafer.
He doesn’t really care what’s going on around him , he doesn’t want to be bothered investigating his surroundings, he’s just happy to cuddle on his bed and people watch !

If itchy sounds like the best cuddle buddy, it’s because he is.
He’s a Netflix and chill kind of date !

Loki is a 14 pd terrier mix from a recent hoarding situation.
Loki has previously lived with cats and dogs as well as children.
He’s a little 1 year old guy with a small dog attitude, but he’s all bark.
He warms up pretty quickly and in his defense all of these dogs have been completely displaced and thrust into the unknown here at the shelter.
They lost their home and family rather quickly.
We’re hoping to get them on their way to a new life just as fast !
If you would like to meet Loki , please apply here : https://www.cognitoforms.com/griffinpondanimalshelter1/griffinpondanimalshelteradoptionapplicationfordogs

The bunnies need you 🙏💕

This is old faithful. She is on her last leg, and we are looking to replace her. We are looking for something 12k BTU or larger, no wider than 25.5 inches. We'd love to find something energy efficient. If you have an air-conditioner that fits this description (or a portable) please reach out. We will also be raising funds, and if one is donated we will use the funds for the extensive vet bills we've incurred over the last week.

Uni needs a home . Uni is a 23 pound mixed breed.
He is 1 year and 3 months old and needs a low traffic home .
He’s absolutely sweet but absolutely terrified at the shelter .
We are looking for the very best home for this guy ❤️

He is used to other dogs and cats but a meet with dogs is always required.

He’s truly a doll and would benefit from a fenced in yard due to his anxiety .
We don’t want him to be exclusively leash walked until he’s comfortable and trust is established.

PLEASE STOP TYING YOUR DOGS TO POLES, please stop letting your dogs loose on the Scranton Expressway,

Please stop 🛑 making false reports to police officers about finding stray animals when they belong to you .

Please stop moving into Scranton Public Housing from Brooklyn, Bronx and Rochester , bringing your animals with you when you KNOW THEY DONT ALLOW PETS and then trying to surrender them in our county shelters .

Please stop assuming we are going to take your AGGRESSIVE DOG to have that dog spend its life in a kennel .
We do not have the staff to work with the dog that you have since birth that is now exhibiting aggressive behaviors.

We have no space for these animals, we can’t keep up.
As bad as you think it is, it’s even worse.

We have animals tied to poles in this heat wave.

Where do we go from here ?

Thank you to our friends at Old Navy Dickson City for the amazing donation drive for our community pets !

Thank you for your hard work in helping the animals !

We appreciate our communities support and could not survive without it !

Thank you for helping us to make a difference for the homeless pets !

Zoey’s a 2 1/2 year old mixed breed pup.
She weighs 44 pounds and she is really good girl.
She was found roaming Lake Scranton after being dumped and is fearful at the shelter.
Her tail begins to instantly wag when she sees another pup 🐶
At least that’s something her former family didn’t ruin for her .

This girl has obviously been upset by her past but she is so docile and willing to thrive.

She’s very gentle either with our volunteers and would completely blossom in a forever home .

We won’t be placing her with young children as we feel she needs a quieter home where she can be the primary focus.

Sharla now Scarlet has been in a foster home since October .
She was a little rough around the edges and would charge when anyone got close 😕

Her foster family is one of the best and worked euth this girl to overcome her little temperamental self.

We are thrilled to report that they decided to make Scarlet a permanent member of the family !

This girl is super lucky to have such a supportive and committed family ❤️🐰

Thank you for adopting !

From Foster To Forever 💙💚 Fio

You’ve seen it all when it comes to Animal Welfare at GPAS . 💙💚 Fostering is an essential part of our mission. Our fosters provide their time and attention on our animals in order to help them recover to the point of adoption. We provide all of the necessary resources, food, litter, formula for kittens , vaccines and any extended medical care up until the point of adoption. Fio was one of the lucky 🍀 ones whose momma couldn’t even think about giving him back ! Help us to continue to provide care support and supplies for our fosters here : https://www.nepagives.org/organizations/griffin-pond-animal-shelter-907a31ae-6e37-4e44-b5b2-1df0c30203fc

#NepaGives2024

Your donations are always put to good use at GPAS 💚💙 Choose to support our efforts here : https://www.nepagives.org/organizations/griffin-pond-animal-shelter-907a31ae-6e37-4e44-b5b2-1df0c30203fc

Nala

Our employee Cam took Nala to the park . It was a good day ! She was excited to hit the road, loved checking out all of the new smells and enjoyed the sunshine. Nala is completely stressed back at the kennels. The dogs in her area are young and they bark at every little thing. Unfortunately there’s nowhere else to house Nala to give her some rest ! But this trip was a nice respite ! We truly wish we could help her to find a forever home where she could have a million days like this ! Please consider adoption , it’s truly life-altering !
