Carlton is ALWAYS ready to play! He needs a home without kiddos, but he has lived with other pups in the past. We don’t know how he is with cats, but we can cat test him at the shelter if needed 😊

Carlton came to us as a guardian surrender through no fault of his own. He’s had some interest, but he’s still with us 😭 Apply for him at spcaluzernecounty.org so he can find his forever home asap!

We do know that Carlton does not like to be held while getting shots or having any type of vet checkout. Therefore, he will need to see a patient vet who understands his unique needs.

Nathan here! Want to play with my giggle ball?! I’d love to go to a home where I can play with toys like this all the time!

I’m a dog friendly guy, and shelter volunteers also think I’d so well with kids, although I may accidentally knock little ones over. I ride well in the car and appear to understand that I’m supposed to go potty outside, although I may need some housebreaking training. I’m 2-4 years old and a terrier mix. I’m such a sweet, smart boy.

Apply for me at spcaluzernecounty.org so we can play together all the time!!!

Looking for your new bestie? Bebe is ready to fill that role for you!

Bebe is so good and we don’t know why her new owner hasn’t come to scoop her up yet! She does have a higher energy level, but that just means she’ll help you keep your New Year’s resolution 😊 She’s 3.5 years old, a beautiful terrier mix, and she’s played well with other pups! Cats and kids are unknown.

Bebe’s adoption fee is $120, which would pay for her spay surgery, microchip, and vaccines! Apply for this beauty today at spcaluzernecounty.org!

Handsome Kaedo needs a home!

This guy has been with us for far too long and hasn’t seen the best of people. Our staff and volunteers love him, but we want to see him go live his best life with a family that will show him what unconditional love is!

Kaedo is about two years old and he’s a terrier mix. He walks well with a harness and loves to play with toys! He needs a home without kids under 10. He also needs a home without dogs. Cats are unknown, but we can cat test him.

Kaedo has become such a favorite among all of us here, and we know his forever family is out there somewhere! Apply for him at spcaluzernecounty.org ❤️

Brunson is SUCH a a great fetch player! He knows to bring the toy back and then drop it 😊

Brunson first came to us as a stray last year and was returned to our care through no fault of his own. We recommend supervision at all times if there are kids in the home, as we do with all new animals. Brunson has also played well with dogs in our care, and can meet any potential dog siblings during a meet and greet.

You can apply for him at spcaluzernecounty.org! He is already neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated, so this good boy is ready to go home as soon as he gets an approved application 😊

Sweet Kaedo is all bundled up and ready for the cold! ❄️Apply today and cuddle up with this gentle giant. ❤Kaedo is almost 2 years old and is a well behaved gentleman. He does like to romp around in our dog runs and has a moderate energy level so he would like to be exercised regularly. Kaedo would prefer a home with a female dog only. Give this sweet and lovable guy a chance today!

Hazel is such a pretty gal, and we are so proud of how much she’s improved in our care!

You see, Hazel came from a homeless encampment, so she didn’t know how to walk on a leash or how to interact with many of the staff and volunteers at the shelter. But after working with us for weeks, she’s ready to find her forever home!

Hazel is dog selective because she’s shy around other dogs, so she would do best in a home with dogs that won’t overwhelm her. Cats are unknown. We do recommend a home without kids under 10, since she will likely need some space and time to decompress in her new home.

Hazel loves to get pets and give kisses. She’s a very sweet girl! Apply for her today at spcaluzernecounty.org!

Zoe #57459781 {Adult Male,Terrier, Pit Bull Mix}
Meet Zoe! He is almost 3 years old and was surrendered into our care through no fault of his own. If you like a dog who will give you kisses again and again and again, he’s the guy for you! He is seriously as sweet as can be, and just loves to be loved! He’s done very well while interacting with all of our staff and volunteers, and was even very well behaved when they gave him a bath. Based on his calm demeanor, we believe he would do well with kids. Zoe did come in with another dog but a proper meet and greet would be required. Cats are unknown at this time.
Apply today at https://www.spcaluzernecounty.org/adoption-application.html.

Check out two of our adoptable cats, Squeeks behind the door and Big Handsome! (He loves it when you call him Big Handsome 🎶) Both are super friendly kitties and ready for a home of their own! They are not bonded, just buddies. Apply today at spcaluzernecounty.org.

The giggle ball is a huge hit in our play yard! Adoptable Blue absolutely loves it! He also has a wonderfully large noggin, which we just adore 🥰

Blue was returned to our care in October, and he’s proved to be such a sweet boy while he’s been back with us. Blue needs a home without other pups. Cats and kids are unknown, but we can cat test him and kids would be welcome at his meet and greet!

Apply for him today at spcaluzernecounty.org ❤️

Shaboozey #57513389 {Juvenile Male,American Blue Heeler/Lab Mix}
This young blue heeler mix is ready to find a loving family! Shaboozey is almost one year old. He was surrendered to us due to too many animals in the home, and he’s very timid in the shelter environment. He is bonded with his brother Jellyroll. Our volunteers and staff have been working with both dogs and they open up to new people quickly! We believe he would do well with kids who understand that he’ll need his space as he warms up to his new home. As a blue heeler mix, Shaboozey has a high energy level, so his new family should be prepared to exercise him several times a day. Apply for him today at spcaluzernecounty.org!

Jellyroll #57513368 {Juvenile Male,American Blue Heeler/Lab Mix}
Jelly Roll is up for adoption! This blue heeler pup is almost a year old. He was surrendered due to too many animals in the home. Jellyroll is bonded with his brother, Shaboozey. He is very timid, so we recommend a home without kids for him, since he takes a while to warm up to new people. He is making progress here and we would like to keep the boys together so that they are at their best. Jelly Roll is understandably very scared in our noisy shelter, so he would love a quieter home with patient humans. Jelly Roll will have a high energy level once he settles in, so his new humans should be prepared to exercise him regularly. Apply for him today at spcaluzernecounty.org!

Thank you PetFinder Foundation for the 2024 Cat Enrichment Grant! Our lucky kitties got some extra space to explore and lounge in their new cage inserts! The SPCA of Luzerne County is lucky to have supporters that work to make our animals as comfy and enriched while they wait for their fur-ever home!

With these chilly temps, our volunteers spent some time inside with the pups tonight! Everyone got outside for a quick walk around the building to stretch their legs, and then a few pups got spa days ❤️

Pictured are adoptable Cricket and Ruby (who will soon be posted on our site!) Both of them did very well, although Cricket was not a huge fan of having to stay in one spot while being bathed 🧼 🤣
