Animal House in Mechanicsburg PA is an amazing non-profit dog rescue. After losing our Family's Shepard-Lab mix after 17 years 4 months I was totally not ready for another strong emotional attachment. She had a great life and helped raise the kids. I reluctantly went (tricked into going) to Animal House Rescue where the caring and helpful staff completely understood my feelings. They coached me through the process and we found a wonderful family friend who was a joy. I had forgotten all the good and the happiness pets bring to you. I could not ask for a better group to help our family...well really me.
My first experience with Animal house rescue was amazing. My husband and I applied 3 years ago with intentions to adopt a couple months later. Two weeks after we put our application in we got a call about a dog that had fit our descriptions and wants. She was perfect, couldn't have pictured a better dog. she is the queen of the household and gets anything she wants from my husband
The most wonderful dog in the world was rescued by Animal House Rescue, Inc and eventually adopted by me. Auggie Dog was the love of my life. Her beautiful red hair was the color of Autumn leaves and her amber eyes were portals of unconditional love. She lived in the forest with me and brought me trophies everyday and shared my blankets every night. She chased squirrels, chipmunks and deer, always coming to rest next to me. As the years passed Auggie Dog did not win her battle with Cushing Disease and Diabetes. Animal House Rescue, Inc. not only saved a stray dog but they gave a human memories to last a life time.
5 years ago we were looking for a small dog. We found one on Petfinder. Her name was Jolene & she was a lanky looking terrierish mix. We took her for walks and everyone would ask, What kind of dog is that?? Jolene was a special needs dog who lived with Cushings disease and took meds for it every day. She was quirky and fun, just basically a wonderful dog. Animal House Rescue helped us find this little love and then enjoyed 2 years with this sweetie. If it weren't for Animal House Rescue, we never would have found, met and fallen in love with this little angel. Jolene left us and we ended up adopting 3 more amazing dogs from Animal House Rescue. I can't say enough good things about them! Great people - great dogs!
