d love for you to meet Hamburglar.
Hamburglar is a 3-year-old, 70-pound German Shepherd mix who is ready to leave his days as a stray behind and find a family of his own. He’s still on the skinny side and would love a home where he can continue gaining weight, building muscle, and enjoying the good life he deserves.
His story is where his name comes from. Hamburglar wandered into someone’s kitchen one day, helped himself to the comforts of home, and made it clear he wasn’t planning to leave. Sadly, no one ever came looking for him. Considering how underweight he was, it’s likely he hadn’t been cared for in quite some time. Now, he’s healthy, safe, and ready for his fresh start.
Hamburglar is:
- 3 years old
- Male German Shepherd mix
- Great in the car
- House and crate trained
- Knows “sit”
- Neutered, heartworm negative, and current on vaccines
He does well with kids but doesn’t always realize just how big he is, so he’d do best with families who are comfortable around large, enthusiastic dogs. He’s currently working on his leash manners and learning that keeping all four paws on the ground is much more polite than jumping up to say hello. He’s a smart boy who enjoys learning and just needs consistency.
If you have another dog, Hamburglar would love a playful companion who enjoys running, wrestling, and burning off energy together. His enthusiasm can be a bit much for senior or low-key dogs, so he’s looking for a buddy who matches his playful spirit. He hasn’t been introduced to cats or small dogs yet.
Hamburglar has so much love to give. He may have had a rough start, but he hasn’t let it dull his happy, goofy personality. All he’s missing is someone willing to give him the chance he’s been waiting for.
Fostered in Camp Hill, PA

We are PA Caring for K-9's, an all-breed dog rescue that is solely run by volunteers. Most of our dogs are rescued from high kill shelters in the South. If the dog is posted, they are still available! Once arriving, these dogs enter foster homes, as we do not have a shelter. We cannot adopt out dogs to a home with dogs that are not fixed or up to date on shots. If interested in adopting, please submit an application online at .pack9rescue. Our adoption fee for altered dogs is $350 and goes directly to saving the lives of more dogs. Our adoption fee for unaltered puppies will be $400 which includes a refundable $50 deposit upon receipt of spay/neuter certificate. Learn more about adopting from us or volunteering for us at .pack9rescue or check us out on Facebook for more information and a complete list of dogs available for adoption. .facebook/PaCaringForK9s/
