NAME THAT PET!
So many animals come into the ARL as strays with no names.
Here's your chance to give a great new name to a great pet! For
a donation of $5 or more, you get the privilege of naming a
shelter pet! Look for signs on the kennels. When you name the
pet, your name will be placed on the web site with the pet's
photo below. |

ANNOUNCING A SENIOR CAT PROGRAM!
Are you 60 years of age or "better"? The ARL now offers cats
who are 5 years old and "better" to anyone 60+ for a donation.
We love our seniors (humans and others!) and think that age doesn't
matter. Just another "seniors for seniors" program
offered to the public by the ARL!

Dogs

D26041 Psst, over here! I’m called Romeo, and I’m a 5-year-old neutered
male Maltese/Poodle mix (I weigh 9 pounds). I’m a handsome boy
looking for a loving family to call my own. I’m just the right
size for any home but I can be a wee bit nervous when I first
meet new people. |

D26078- My name is Sprocket, I’m a 1 year
old male Border Collie Mix. I’m a charming guy searching for a
patient owner to help me get through my moments of nervousness.
Treat me with kindness and I will blossom! I love snuggling up
in laps but I also enjoy being outside and playing. |
|

D25833 Howdy, they all me Purdy! I’m a 2-3 year-old spayed
female Pit Bull (I weigh 53 pounds). I was found by local police
hanging out in City Park and was brought here to the shelter. I
wish I could find a nice family to love me. I’m a beautiful girl
with a sweet personality. I enjoy being around people and having
them lavish me with attention. I displayed no interest in the
cats in the adoption room. I have met many dogs since being here
and they all make me a little anxious. |

D26054 Hey, look at me! My name is Roxy and I’m a 3-5 year-old female
Pit Bull (I weigh 57 pounds). I would make an excellent family
dog! I am energetic but was raised with manners and good
training. I love being around people and going for walks. I was
fine around the cats when introduced to them but I started to
bark at one who hissed at me. I am good with children and am
crate trained. I also am good about telling you when I need to
go out for a potty break. |
|

D26022 Hello, my name is Kindle! I’m a 1-2 year-old spayed
female Pit Bull (I weigh 56 pounds). I’m a sweet girl who enjoys
the company of people. I LOVE to play with toys and I am very
polite with releasing them. I take treats nicely and have no
problem with you coming near me when I’m eating. I displayed no
interest in cats when introduced to them and did fine as well
with another dog. |

D25958 – Eva is in the house! I’m a 2 year
old spayed female English bulldog. I’m a fun loving, happy go
lucky girl looking for someone who loves to laugh and play
around. Life with me will keep you constantly on your toes and
in a state of love. I MUST be an only dog in your life; I don’t
get along with my fellow canines because it’s all about me! |
|

D26007 Hey, they call me Cabrini! I’m a 4-5 year-old female Pit Bull.(I
weigh 50 pounds). I’m an easy going and very manageable girl who
loves to play with toys and go for walks. I may be a few years
older than some of my kennel mates but that means you don’t have
to put up with all of that puppy craziness! I am not interested
in cats; I can be a little pushy with dogs when I first meet
them. |

D26068- Sissy is my name and maybe I can be your dame? I’m a 5
year old spayed female hound mix. My owners brought me to the
ARL because I am a bit difficult for them to keep an eye on. I
just want to explore! Perhaps someone who enjoys the outdoors
will take me on walks and hikes and be a much better match for
me. I love to be outside and sniffing the trails. What do you
expect? I’m a hound! |
|

D25784 Hey there! They call me Gabrielle! I’m a 2-3 year-old
female Boxer/Pit Bull mix (I weigh 51 pounds). My family moved
and left me behind. I’m a beautiful and sweet girl. I greet
everyone with a big grin and wag of my tail. I know “sit”, “paw”
and maybe “down”! I will need an active family, willing to get
me lots of exercise! |

D26010 Hey
there, look at me! My name is Tippy and I’m a 2-year-old female
Pit Bull (I weigh 68 pounds). I came in as a stray and was given
the name Tippy because of the way I tip my head from side to
side when you’re talking to me. I have some special needs and
will require a patient and loving home to work with me. I get
along fine with other dogs and have shown no interest in cats. |
|

D26082- Call me Maximus! I am I year old male
lab/pit bull mix. I’m a bit of a wall flower. I’m shy and will
need some gentle guidance to help bring me out of my shell. I
walk very nicely on a leash and look to people for reassurance.
I’m not interested in cats and am a little afraid around other
dogs. |

D26089- Hi I’m Taz! I’m a 1-2 year old male pit bull. I’m a
guy who thinks everything is fun and meant for play, especially
people! I’m a very handsome guy too. I enjoy going for walks and
interacting with people. I love to snuggle in a warm lap too.
Maybe your lap? |
ARL's Foster Care Program
Do you love older dogs and cats or ones with special needs? So do
we! We need YOU!
The ARL is looking to establish a list of a few good homes
who would be willing to provide temporary care for
older or special needs dogs and cats while we look for their
forever homes. How does it work?
• The ARL pays for vet care, you only need to provide food and toys (and love of
course!)
• The ARL will do a home visit and check vet references to ensure that the
pet
is going into a good environment.
• If you have one or more dogs, they must come to the shelter to meet the
foster dog to ensure that they will get along.
And your dogs must be up-to-date on vaccines and have
current licenses.
• Foster homes must have their own transportation, commit to providing the pet
with proper vet care and adequate exercise,
and can bring the pet to the shelter when necessary to
meet potential adopters.
For anyone interested in this worthwhile and rewarding opportunity, please stop
by and fill out a foster home application.
Thank you for caring about those who can't help themselves!
The
following pets are in foster homes (they're not at the shelter), awaiting their
forever homes! Please
call the shelter or email Marcy Tocker at Mtocker@berksarl.org
to schedule an appointment to meet them!
Please be patient - it may take a few days to respond!

My name is Bernie! I am a 2-year-old neutered male Pit Bull.
You may remember me from when I was left on a hot roof last
year. Well, I'm all healed up and searching for the perfect
family. I'm a brilliant dog and I am getting to learn all kinds
of commands in my foster home. My favorite game is "fetch" and I
could play it all day long. The ARL is looking for a very
special family with me. I need a family who will understand my
difficult past and who will be patient, yet consistent with me. More
information will be provided about me once I am settled in my
foster home. I must be an only pet.
I am now up for adoption but please, no other animals!
If you want to meet me, please email

I am little Tito! Some people like to call
me silly names like "Tito Bandito" and "Tito Lay!" I am a
12-year-old neutered male Chihuahua. I was adopted once before,
but now I am back. I have some kidney problems and I have to go
potty a lot. I need someone who is home often so that they can
let me outside. I am crate trained and get along with other
animals. I am a spoiled baby and behave like a typical
Chihuahua. I love to be carried around too! Please give me
another chance.
I am presently in a foster home. If you want to meet me,
please email

Hi my name is Opie! I'm a
3-year-old neutered male Pit Bull Mix. Possibly Mastiff? I'm
very athletic, loving, and a little bit silly! I am housetrained
and crate trained. I like most other dogs, but I'm a bit
nervous. I'm super playful and would probably do well with an
active family or one that has a nice yard for me to run around
in. I'm a people dog and love everyone I meet.

Hey all you awesome
people out there! My name is Kurt! I am a 3 year old neutered
male American Bulldog Mix. If you think you recognize me, you
probably do! I was in the kennels for 4 months waiting for my

With all my energy, it was really hard for me. I am so happy to
be in a foster home. I am a goofy, bouncing, boy that's full of
love, kisses, and tail wags. I know basic commands and I am good

Hi
there! My name is Bell and I am a 7-year-old spayed female
Akita/Bernese Mountain Dog mix. But most people just refer to me
as a big, puffy, cuddly, teddy bear. I love to meet new people.
I am housetrained and I walk politely on my leash. I really
enjoy taking naps but also enjoy the outdoors. Hiking is my
favorite outdoor activity. I love my people and I am very loyal.
I will always be your friend and never leave your side. Cats and
most other dogs are not my friends, so I would prefer to be the
only pet. I'm a big gal with a lot of love to give. Can I give
it to you?

Barney Puggle is my name
and cuteness is my game! I am an 8 year old neutered male Puggle.
If I could describe myself in one word, I would choose

on a leash and have good manners. I get along with other animals
and I am very laid back. I love to get attention and show my
appreciation by wiggling my whole body. I like being outside,
but I am very relaxed. I would fit into any family!

C55381- Hi my name is Smoke! I’m a 6 month
old DSH Grey neutered male. I’m what you call a party animal…I
love to explore my environment and test my limits (I know I’m
not supposed to put my toys in my water bowl but I can’t help
myself). I love to play and pounce. My favorite toy seems to be
the crinkle balls but then again I really love the feathers.
Even though I’m an adventurous cat I still like to relax and
spend some quiet time unwinding. I prefer to stay on the ground
(you can try to pick me up but I’ll just wiggle my way out) but
I do enjoy snuggling in laps and lounging in the sun. I’m
looking for a home that will allow me to explore and provide
lots of fun activities to keep me entertained. If you’re looking
for a cat that will make you laugh then look no further. I get
along with other cats and would do best in a home with older
children. Stop by condo 4 to see me! |

C55297 Hi my name is Kita and I’m a 4-5 year-old DLH black
tuxedo female. I have been primarily an outside cat but I
despise being outside and was tearing up my owners screen doors
(all I wanted was to be inside). I’m a very friendly and
super-affectionate girl who just wants to hang out beside you. I
don’t mind entertaining myself (I’m a sucker for mouse toys) but
I prefer to spend my time snuggled up next to a companion and
getting a good scratch behind the ears. I’m very well behaved
and I know how to stay out of trouble. If you’re looking for a
cat who loves being petted, held and snuggled with then look no
further. Kita would appreciate being in a quiet home with no
dogs or cats so that she can enjoy her independence and need for
attention (what can I say; I want you all to myself). |

ELIGIBLE FOR FREE ADOPTION! C54219 Hey, they call me
Midnight! Imagine that! I’m am 8-10 year-old neutered male black
DSH. I’m very sweet and I love attention! I’m friends
with the cats here in the colony where I live. They tease me and
call me Snaggletooth because I have one! |

ELIGIBLE FOR HALF OFF ADOPTION FEE! C54626 Hello, they call me Fuzz! I’m a 2-3 year-old female
black and grey DSH. I’m a petite little girl with a big meow! I
don’t want to be overlooked! I love affection and will try to
get your attention by rolling around. |
|

C55282 Hi my name is Cleo and I’m a 9-year-old DSH brown
and orange torti tiger spayed female. I’m a wonderful girl and
will shower you with purrs, head butts and conversation. I’m not
sure why my owner surrendered me but I was really sick. The very
nice cat room staff immediately started me on medicine and after
a long rough first month at the shelter, I’ve completely
recovered. I love attention but also value my independence
(after a long session of head butting and telling you the
neighbors secrets, I need a soft bed to kick up my paws and fall
asleep in). I love belly rubs and snuggling up in a warm lap. Do
you want a cat who will snuggle while you’re watching TV? While
you’re reading a book? Then I might be the
perfect cat for you. I’m looking for a calm and relaxing home
where I can spend my senior years in comfort. I get along with
other cats (although I require some time getting use to them)
and I’m good with children. |

C55329- Hi my name is Grey! I’m a 6 year
old Front Declawed DSH Grey (hence my name) neutered male. I’m a
mellow fellow who loves to cuddle and be held like a teddy bear.
Here at the shelter I love nothing better than sitting on
people’s laps as they brush me and pet me. When I came into the
shelter I was very sick but the cat room staff made sure to wipe
my nose, hand feed me (yummy baby food) and lots of treats (but
I think those treats had medicine in it silly staff I knew all
along I just played along). Now I’m all better and patiently
waiting for my new family. I’m very sweet and affectionate and
the word has it that I’m famous for my chin rubs and purring (my
neighbor above me often complains that I’m too loud). I’m
looking for someone to enjoy quiet times and togetherness with
and who doesn’t mind being showered with purrs, head butts and
paws kneading. I get along with other cats but I’m not sure how
I feel about dogs. Please come see me! |
|

C54946 Hi, my name is Jazz! I’m a 2-3 year-old
neutered male white with black/brown tiger patches DSH. As you
can see, my left ear is tipped which means that I probably
belong to an outside colony or my owners had me neutered at a
clinic. I’m very outgoing and I love attention! I want you to
pet me and I’m always kneading and looking for belly rubs.
Please come see me! |

ELIGIBLE FOR HALF OFF ADOPTION FEE! C54787 Hey there, I’m Diamond! I’m a 2-year-old male black and white DSH.
I came in with my friend Coca. We would like to be adopted
together. I’m a very cuddly guy. I love being petted and I love
to talk! My favorite thing to do is take naps with my best buddy
Coca. |
|

C54973 Hi, my name is Tangerine! I’m a 2-3 year-old neutered male orange
tiger DSH. I’m a very outgoing and playful kitty. I love to play
with my mouse toys and I also love to relax in the sun. I’m
great friends with the other cats too! |

ELIGIBLE FOR HALF OFF ADOPTION FEE! C54783 Hey, come visit me! I'm called Terri and
I'm a gorgeous orange, black and white calico DSH. I'm a
2-year-old spayed female. Please check back later for more
information about me. |
|

ELIGIBLE FOR HALF OFF ADOPTION FEE! C54869 Hi I’m
Titus Coal. I’m a laid back soft spoken boy. I’m a 7-year- old
neutered male black DSH. I’m very sweet and affectionate. Simply
put, I’m just plain old good company. I know how to sit back and
relax while providing some silly TLC (kneading biscuits and
rolling over). While I tend to be on the shy side, all I need is
that special person who is looking for love and faithful
companionship. If you’re looking for a cat that curls up beside
you and listens to your secrets then I’m the one for you.
Ideally my home will be calm, quiet and dog free. (Pssst…Check
out Paws for Patriots program, a program developed for disabled
veterans. I would make a great companion!) |

C55418- Hi my name is Dawn and I’m a 1 year
old beautiful DSH black spayed female. I’m a petite sweet little
girl who adores being petted and getting my belly rubbed. I’m a
soft spoken girl (I have a tiny little meow) but I’m not shy
when it comes to wanting (demanding) attention. I’m very
flirtatious (I’ll roll around and put on a little show) and
reach my paw out to try and coax you into petting me. While I
love attention I also enjoy my solitude and play sessions. I
have the perfect combination of calmness and playfulness.
However, I’m most happy when I can curl up in a lap and give
kisses (I love to give nose rubs to the cat room staff).
I’m good with children and other cats. However, I’m not sure how
I feel about dogs. I’d really love to find someone to cherish me
and give me a safe and loving home. If you’re looking for a laid
back super affectionate companion look no further! |
|

C55180 Hey, look at me! My name is Veronica and I’m a 1-2 year-old
female calico DSH. I’m a fun-loving, affectionate girl who loves
to talk. I’m very laid back and playful. I love belly rubs and
being held. |

C52081 Hi, I’m
Smokey! I’m a 3-4 year-old neutered male grey DSH. I’m very
sweet and affectionate. I love to follow the staff around and
I’m best friends with Simon! I love to get chin rubs and I’m a
dedicated kneader. I get along with the other cats but I would
be best in a home with no small children. |
|

ELIGIBLE FOR HALF OFF ADOPTION FEE! C54860 Over here! I’m Athena, a 2-3 year-old spayed female black and
brown marble tabby DSH. I’m a very affectionate little girl. My
first couple of months at the shelter were difficult. I was sick
but the ARL staff nursed me back to health and now I’m thriving.
I get along with other cats and I’m great with kids too! I love
to snuggle and relax with you.
|

C52068
Hi my name is Shirley. I’m a mellow and lovable gal. I’m a
6-year-old spayed female DSH brown and black tiger with white.
I’ve been at the shelter for almost a year now! I have had a
long rough couple years and now I’m looking for a little R & R
to heal from my past. I absolutely love being picked up and
hugged tightly (I demand it). I enjoy long periods of belly
rubbing (in fact I will roll over for you to make it easier for
you) and lots of cuddling time. I’m super affectionate and
friendly. I encourage head butting, chin rubbing, and lap time.
If you’re looking for companionship and devotion look no
further. I’m easy to please and easy to get along with. (Pssst…Check
out Paws for Patriots program, a program developed for disabled
veterans. I would make a great companion!) |

C55385-Hi my name is Dexter and I’m a DSH
Brown and Black tiger neutered male. I’m a savvy cat who knows
how to get what I want and that’s lots and lots of attention.
I’m a sweet little boy who will talk your ear off and make you
laugh. I have no problem entertaining myself while you’re gone
(please make sure you leave me lots of little mouse toys) but I
also know how to stay out of trouble (I’m very well behaved). I
enjoy getting belly rubs and I don’t mind being picked up or
squeezed like a stuffed animal. I’m good with children and other
cats and when it comes to dogs I think I will adjust with very
little problems. If you’re watching TV I promise Ill plop in
your lap so you can pet me. If you’re cleaning the house I
might just try and help out (the broom looks really fun). If
you’re making breakfast, lunch or dinner I’m probably going to
expect a little snack myself (whenever the cat room staff opens
a cabinet I let them know I’m hungry). |

C55286- Hi my name is Ebony and I’m a 1-2
year old DSH Black spayed female. I’m a super affectionate gal
with a gentle and loving nature. I came to the shelter with my
babies but all my babies have been adopted. So now I’m waiting
for my turn to find a loving home. I’m a small, laid back love
bug looking for a relaxed household where I can lounge around
and be a lap cat. I love attention, being petted and look
forward to being brushed. I can be a little shy at first but
that’s because I’m trying to adjust to my new surroundings. I
love getting belly rubs and giving kisses. I get along with
other cats and I’m good with children but I don’t seem to like
dogs that much. If you’re looking for a calm, sociable lap cat I
might be the one for you. Please come see me! |

C54436 Hi, my name is Sue! I’m a 2-year-old female black and grey tiger
DSH. I was a little scared when I first came in but I’m
adjusting well. I love to be petted and I love playing with my
toys, I’m fine with other cats but just a little shy and
reserved. |

C55237 Hi I’m Lizzie. I’m a 4-year-old spayed female DSH brown and black
tiger with white. I’m very sweet and affectionate. I’m a free
spirited girl and while I’m content lounging around I enjoy
playing with a variety of toys. I’m looking for someone who
loves to be greeted with purrs and headbutts. While I’m a fairly
low energy cat, I do like to mix it up and will bring lots of
laughs with my talking and silliness. I’m the perfect
combination of relaxation and play. Ideally, I’d like to be the
only pet. |

C55094 Hi my name is Jackie. I’m an 8-10
month-old DSH black and white spayed female. I was extremely
fearful when I first came to the shelter but after a few weeks I
have warmed up nicely and I’m slowly coming out of my shell. I
wasn’t in the best shape as I was living in a barn with about 20
other cats and was severely flea infested and really thin. So,
please understand why I’m a little scared when meeting new
people. I promise though once I get to know you I’ll be your
best friend. I’m very sweet and affectionate but I will need a
home that is quiet and preferably with older children. I get
along with other cats but I’m not too sure how I feel about dogs
yet. Please stop by my cage and feel free to let yourself in
(since I’m on the shy side, I’m often overlooked). |

C55212 Hi I’m Miss Prissy, the attention getter. I'm a 1-year-old female
DMH white with black and brown tiger patches. What can I
say...I'm a cat on a mission. I love to play and explore. I can
make toys out of anything. While I'm an adventurous cat I still
find time in my busy schedule to show you my sweet affectionate
side. When I’m tired from my busy work day I’ll curl up beside
you and fall fast asleep (not without giving you a goodnight
kiss). I adjust quickly and very little bothers me except for
other cats.

C52085 Hey, look at me! My
name is Jack and I’m a 5-6 year-old neutered male tan and black
tiger DSH. I’m very outgoing and I love to talk. I’m still
adjusting to my temporary home here but I am very affectionate
and loving. I would do best in a home with no small children. |

Bentley
is the name and purring is the game! Hi, my name is Bentley
(formerly known as Russell). I am an 8-year-old male neutered
DSH. I use my litter box and get along with other cats and dogs.
My foster mommy has 5 dogs and that overwhelms me a little, so a
home with only 1 or 2 dogs would be great for me. I am very
sweet and friendly. I'd make a great buddy.
Please email
Mtocker@berksarl.org

Hi, my name is Monkey!! I'm a very handsome and sweet
15-year-old Morgan mix gelding.
I am looking for my forever home with someone who will enjoy my
affectionate nature. I am coming from a stressful situation and
have just lost my best horse friend. I like other horses but can
be stubborn at times. 4 years ago, I had a rear leg injury that
limits me to trail riding or just being a pasture pet. I do well
with ground work and the farrier. I have not been worked for 2
years so I need a little refresher course. I am a quick learner
and I know all my basic commands. Please consider adopting me to
be your best friend. Contact Alison at 610-373-8830 ext. 105.

Hi, my name is Candy and my story is very sad. I was found in
a pasture with dead and other starving horses. I am a
17-year-old dark bay thoroughbred mare. I have had
beginner riders on me but I have not been ridden for a year due
to my owner's life being too busy. That's why I was surrendered
to the ARL. I'm great with being trailered, I stand nicely for
the vet and farrier. I will be staying at my present home until
adoption. Please contact Jo Parto at the ARL at
jparto@berksarl.org to
inquire about adopting me.

Rest in peace, Snyckers. You left us on May 11, 2011 and
we will love and miss you always.
