Mission Moment

Happy Tails

Rogan originally came to the York County SPCA as a stray with sores and a lump on one of his rear legs.

Our veterinary team worked quickly to treat him. Although he was nervous at first and in pain from the wounds on his leg, he quickly became a favorite at the shelter due to his sweet nature and ability to make anyone smile.

Rogan was originally adopted four months after arrival; however, the resident dog was not getting along with him, so it just wasn’t the right fit at the moment. His special day finally came at the New Year Dog Adoption Event.

We couldn’t be more blessed to have him in our family. He does great with his sister, Korah the Pomeranian, and brother, Raziel. And Willow, the American bulldog, is still learning to play with him.

“He truly is amazing, and I’m blessed to have adopted him. I love sharing his story and want people to know they deserve a second chance. I don’t know his past, and his scars show it was a rough one, but I’ll give him a better future.”
