Hearts for Hounds

We are located in the Virginia Beach area of Virginia. We are hound lovers at heart and recognize the plight of the hounds in the southern states. In southern shelters there are many thrown away hunting dogs and outside dogs that probably have never known life in a house or part of a family. Every dog should know what it is like to be a beloved pet in a family's home. We aim to show as many dogs as possible what it is like to live in a warm, loving home.

Additional adoption info

An adoption application is filled out prior to meeting a dog. A meet and greet is set up between the new dog, the family, and any existing dogs in the household. If all goes well there is a final home check and the adoption contract can be filled out. Adoption fees are applicable.
