Lyle is an absolute sweetheart with a huge heart and so much love to give. When he bonds, he bonds deeply—he’s a true velcro dog who wants to be near his people and LOVES to cuddle.
Lyle would do best in a calmer, low-traffic home, ideally with another confident dog who can help show him the ropes. He has lived a life full of neglect—about 3 years old and spent nearly all of that in an outdoor kennel. Despite his rough start, he is incredibly smart and has already mastered crate training!
He is a small guy, only about 26 lbs fully grown. When he arrived, he was severely matted and needed to be shaved down to the skin, but his coat will grow back beautifully. He gets along well with dogs of all sizes and tries to play with them on occasion. He is still learning what toys are—he may have never had any before. He gets along well with the cats in his foster home and he is very gentle. He is mostly calm and enjoys sun bathing in the sun or any light that drifts in from the window. He does NOT like the cold and seems to enjoy wearing clothes.
Lyle needs an adult only home. He can be very cautious when meeting new people, so anyone who meets him will need to understand that he needs time to adjust and patience.
Lyle deserves a gentle, loving family who will give him the happy ending he’s waited his whole life for. This is rescue!
He is currently undergoing treatment for heartworms. He has an appointment at Blue Ridge Vet in Purceville, VA on 1/15/26.

98% of our adoptables come from out of state. There are higher fees associated as we have to pay to have the animals transported. We are a non-profit rescue. Any access revenue made is used to care for animals with additional medical expenditures that would otherwise result in adoptable dogs having to be left behind and euthanized.

We are a volunteer based rescue. To meet our dogs we need an approved adoption application filled out. Then we will connect you with the foster home where the dog lives. You would then coordinate with the foster home to meet the dog you were interested in. We usually hold adoption events 1-2 times a month. You can meet some of our dogs at our live adoption events as well.
