Hockey and Hounds

Torts and Jason Myrtetus discuss the Flyers playoff hopes and are finding Kcuilli on the final Hockey & Hounds Podcast of the regular season. Kculli was rescued from the home of a dog fighter in November of 2021. She was rescued alongside 33 other dogs. The majority of these pups have found homes, but Kculli and three other are still waiting. There is nothing wrong with this sweet girl, despite her horrific past. She is a bit shy at first, but she opens up quickly and just LOVES people. She can live with kids, but we don't think she should live with other animals.

Torts and Jason discuss the final slate of games and are finding Harriet a forever home. Harriet is the most playful and snuggly girl of your dreams. One of her previous foster parents coined the nickname "Miss Rolly-Polly" for her because after a few moments of pets or scratches she'll lean all 50lbs. of her body weight into your legs before flopping onto the floor.We think Harriet would prefer a home without a cat friend, but could do well with another playful dog in the home! Any adopter with resident pups that have a zest for life and passion for playtime could definitely be a great match for her. Learn more about Harriet at phillypaws.org/adopt!

The push for the playoff is on and Torts and Jason discuss the path forward. The duo then switches focus to finding 5-year-old Dakota, who was rescues by PSPCA, a new home.Dakota is very smart and what she lacks in sight, she makes up for in her hearing and sniff skills! She knows sit and shake. She is very affectionate to handlers especially when they follow her training plan. Dakota is looking for a home that will continue her training and learning. She is open to dog meets. She is looking for a family who can help support these needs.

On the latest Hockey and Hounds Podcast, Torts and Jason discuss the commencement of the April playoff push and are trying to find 'Luke Wilson' a forever home. Luke is an incredibly sweet, and cuddly pal. Understandably, he's been a little cautious and nervous, but as he's opened up his more goofy, and spontaneous side has emerged and we are just loving his zest for life! He even tends to nudge, rub or plop his cute snoot on you to initiate snuggles. Luke is also very sniff-oriented so he'd love to find companion(s) that like to venture into nature so he can enjoy all the interesting smells the world has to offer! He knows the commands "sit" and "stay", but is very eager to please his humans and would be able to pick up more tricks with continued training. If you're interested in a spunky and affectionate companion, Luke Wilson just might be your perfect match! Visit PhillyPaws.org for more information.

On the latest Hockey & Hounds Podcast, Torts and Jason discuss the playoff push and are finding August, a terrier/pit mix a forever home. August is probably the goofiest, silliest, sweetest dog you will ever meet. He has lots of smarts and like to show off how to "sit" and give "paw". August is a big fan of treats, and toys. He also prefers when people introduce themselves to me with a whole bag of treats, because I deserve it! August would make a snuggly and happy companion for any lucky family. Learn more about August at pspca.org.

Torts and Jason are back together and discussing the March gauntlet of games ahead, post-trade deadline and are finding Harriet a forever home. Harriet is the most playful and snuggly girl of your dreams. One of her previous foster parents coined the nickname "Miss Rolly-Polly" for her because after a few moments of pets or scratches she'll lean all 50lbs. of her body weight into your legs before flopping onto the floor.We think Harriet would prefer a home without a cat friend, but could do well with another playful dog in the home!

Cobalt (all black) is especially goofy and expressive, and is a sucker for games of fetch. Cody (brown and tan) comes off as more reserved at first, but is an expert couch snuggler who isn't shy about plopping a paw in your lap when he's hoping for some love!

He LOVES other dogs and is in our playgroup, and is so super goofy. He doesn't know much (no sit, or other commands), but it doesn't matter, he's just the best.

This week we're finding Frog a forever home. Who needs a prince when you can have Frog? This lovable grandpa has everything that you could ever want in a companion: handsome looks, a sweet & spunky disposition, and endless love to give! Frog was found by police emaciated and tied to a park bench, and he managed to win over the hearts of many officers, staff, and volunteers before heading into foster care. His foster parent describes him as a happy little guy that loves spending time indoors and outdoors when the weather is nicer, and who is always game to hop in the car to tag along for errands and other adventures that he's able to participate in. Frog is estimated to be about 9 years old, and would love to find a home where he won't need to climb too many stairs since he has some arthritis (his daily pain meds keep him happily hopping around outside though)! He's been fairly indifferent towards other dogs, and could potentially live with a calm and respectful canine roommate (cats are an unknown).If you're looking for the senior sweetheart of your dreams, Email foster@phillypaws.org to learn more about taking home Frog.

Fruit Snack is seeking a dog-experienced home where she'll have a very low chance of encountering other pups when she's outside. This could either mean a yard without any canine neighbors close by, or a quiet neighborhood where she can enjoy walks without a ton of canine foot traffic — ideally in a home where her barks and won't disturb neighbors if she hears another dog walking by!
