Featured Pet

Bailey is a loving, intelligent, and energetic Border Collie mix who is searching for a home where she can feel safe, secure, and truly loved. She is incredibly smart and playful, with a big heart and an even bigger love for fetch—tennis balls are her absolute favorite! Bailey thrives on activity and mental stimulation, enjoying tug-of-war, brain games, long walks, and especially park adventures where she can run and roll in the grass. She is house-trained, knows both basic commands and fun tricks like “sit pretty,” and is spayed, fully vaccinated, and in excellent health. While she can be anxious in new environments, once she bonds with her people her personality blossoms into a goofy, affectionate, and loyal companion who loves cuddles just as much as exercise.

Bailey would do best in an active, experienced home that can provide structure, consistency, and plenty of physical and mental outlets—ideally with access to a yard or regular park and hiking trips. She has lived peacefully with a cat and can do well with calm, respectful dogs, though she may feel overwhelmed by high-energy or overbearing ones. She is not crate-trained and does best when given space to relax while her family is away. Bailey can be shy at first and may need patience when adjusting to new people and surroundings, but with time, reassurance, and positive reinforcement (especially treats!), she becomes a deeply devoted and joyful companion. She is truly a wonderful dog who deserves a peaceful, loving home ready to give her the attention and stability she needs to thrive.

Seniors for Seniors

Choosing a pet that fits your heart and your future.

When considering adoption, it’s crucial to not only choose a companion who fits your heart, but your home, lifestyle and future, too.

If you’re enjoying your golden years, a mature dog or cat will make a much better companion than a puppy or kitten. Young pets are full of energy, and require years of care, training and activity. With this, dogs live an average of 10 to 13 years, while cats live an average of 13 to 20 years.

We have many wonderful adult and senior pets waiting for homes. These dogs and cats often make the best companions. They’re calm, affectionate and already settled into their personalities.

Adopting with love also means adopting with foresight. Think about what kind of dog or cat truly aligns with your lifestyle and energy level. Need help finding the purrrfect match? Call us at (717) 993-3232 or email [email protected].

A Sanctuary for Life

Animal Rescue, Inc. was founded when Grace Froelich was given the option to move from her apartment or give up her beloved cat. Grace chose her cat and purchased what’s now nicknamed “The Farm.” The rest is animal rescue history!
