Story
Meet Champ, a sweet senior boy who was transferred to Norfolk SPCA all the way from Tennessee in hopes of finding his forever family here. He’s ready for a fresh start and a cozy place to call home. Don’t let the “senior” title fool you — Champ is super playful and absolutely loves spending time with his toys. He still has plenty of pep in his step and would happily join you for a morning trip to the dog park before heading home to nap the day away while you binge-watch your favorite TV shows. The best of both worlds. Champ does have a little wear and tear that comes with age and experience. Champ is would love to meet other dogs and children. He is eager to settle in and be someone’s loyal companion. If you’re looking for a fun-loving senior who can balance playtime with serious couch time, Champ just might be your guy.

Story
BUST ME OUT OF HERE! My kennel manners are not great because I would rather be cuddling with you. If you`re looking for a happy, go-lucky guy to add to your family - look no further! I love hanging out with new people and seem to be pretty interested in dog friends as well. I would do best in a house with a nice big yard for me to stretch my legs and any children in my next home should be experienced with big dogs. If you`d like to learn more about me, just ask the Care Team!

Story
Ruthie is a 2-year-old, 60-lb Boxer mix with a gentle soul and a brilliant mind. Before coming into rescue, Ruthie lived on her own for at least 6 months, skillfully evading capture, multiple trapping attempts, and surviving in an industrial area of town. Fed by kind mechanics and workers, she learned how to stay safe, avoid danger, and always show up for food — and that intelligence still shines through today. After a dramatic capture, Ruthie has been in a foster home, where she’s proven to be a very polite houseguest. She is fully house-trained and, even at her scariest moments, has never shown a hint of aggression — no growling, no raised lips, just fear. Ruthie is shy and deeply cautious with people, but she is sweet, gentle, and incredibly observant. We would not be surprised if Ruthie spent some of her life in someone’s home.  This brainy girl reads the room like a pro. She knows when a human might approach and will quietly skedaddle to keep herself feeling safe. While she’s still very nervous about leashes and handling, she allows most people to gently scratch her muzzle, and she’s learning — slowly but surely — that human touch isn’t such a bad thing. Watching her progress has been incredibly rewarding, especially as she’s started to enjoy ear scratches and soft affection from her foster mom. Ruthie is a great pack dog. She does beautifully with dogs of all sizes and temperaments and enjoys playful wrestling with dogs her size, but doesn’t demand play.  She happily coexists with the resident Chihuahua in her foster home. Ruthie is calm and content indoors and also enjoys a daily visit to the dog park. She’s a quiet presence who’s perfectly happy lounging on a chair, listening to her foster mom’s Zoom calls, and soaking in the safety of home life. At home, Ruthie is her foster mom’s quiet shadow. She sleeps in her room, wiggles with excitement when she comes home, follows her around the dog park — and yet may still hop off her bed and slip away if that same foster mom walks toward her for a pet. With Ruthie, trust is built in tiny, meaningful moments, and every day brings progress. Because of her history, Ruthie is a high flight-risk dog, especially in the early days. She will need a very committed adopter with a securely fenced yard, experience with fearful or flight-risk dogs, and a willingness to use safety tools like GPS collars, double leashes, and secure handling. Strength matters too — this is a 60-lb girl who needs someone confident and prepared. Ruthie has been around children at the dog park and treats them like little adults — with polite, reserved hesitation. She is food-motivated, sweet, and incredibly smart. With patience, structure, and time, she has all the makings of a truly special companion. Ruthie is one of those dogs who, with the right adopter and a few committed months of trust-building, will become a dream dog. Watching her finally relax, feel safe, and just be a dog has been an absolute privilege — and we can’t wait to see her find the forever home she deserves. ccrnewengland@gmail.com PLEASE NOTE:   Our dogs and cats are fostered in Tennessee and can transport weekly up to the Northeast region.  Request an application and learn more about Critter Cavalry at https://www.crittercavalry.com/adoption.April 28, 2026, 8:57 pm

Story
Meet Lucca! This large handsome fella here would love the chance to be the newest addition to your family. Lucca is a fairy strong & excitable(but gentle) giant, so he does ask that any children in the home be at least 6 or older as he doesn`t always know his own size. Additionally, while Lucca does have some history with cats & dogs, he will need to meet any other dogs in the home prior to adoption. Please remember to do any introductions with either people or other animals slowly! If you would like to meet this lovely fella or if you have any questions, please speak to our kennel team & they will be happy to assist!

Story
Mandy is in a FOSTER home while she waits for her FOREVER home. Please email PRAS-FOSTER@NNVA.GOV if you`d like to meet her!Hi, I’m Mandy, a spayed Boxer mix with a big heart and so much love to give! I spend my days dreaming of long walks, fresh air, and finding my perfect forever home. I’m a friendly and outgoing girl once I get to know you. I can be a little shy at first, but with a little time and patience, I warm up and form a strong bond with my people. Once I feel comfortable, I’m incredibly loyal and love being close to those I trust.I’m not much of a toy enthusiast, but I really enjoy being outside—especially relaxing in the shade with a good stick. It’s my kind of perfect day.I’ve been living in a foster home with children and have done well with them, as long as everyone takes things at my pace. I do best with slow, positive introductions to new people so I can feel safe and comfortable.I’m looking for a home that will give me a little time to settle in and show my true self. In return, I’ll be a deeply devoted companion who will love you like no other.If you’d like to meet me, please email PRAS-FOSTER@NNVA.GOV.

Story
Even though Odie was abandoned by his previous family, he still loves people.  He gets along with other dogs and children.  He is high energy and hasn't learned to meet other dogs.  He can be a bit intimidating to other dogs.  His foster brother is a small 13 yr old rat terrier and Odie loves to sleep with him.  It takes a slow introduction for him to settle down.   If you want a hiking or camping buddy, Odie is your guy.  Playing fetch and tug are also favorite things that he likes.  He would love a family who would treat him like a family member.  .  He has already had his dental and is ready to start his new life as a family member.  If you are interested, please contact Rainbow Rescue at 757-472-1583 or rainbowanimalrescueva@gmail.comMarch 10, 2026, 12:08 am

Story
We brought her home from a breeder at about 9 weeks old (born 5/9/25). She is house and crate trained. She’s a sweet dog but shy with new people and would benefit from continued socialization and a patient home. We’re rehoming due to recent life changes, two young children and a new business have made our schedule busier than expected, and she isn’t getting the time she deserves. We want a family who can give her consistent attention, training, and love so she can continue gaining confidence.

Story
Butters was my sister’s foster dog. I knew I did not have the money, time, or resources to take her in. Unfortunately, the organization informed my sister that if I didn’t take Butters, she would have to be put down. She is the sweetest dog in the world. Butters (Buttercup) is about 60 lb She is 5 years old She is a Pitbull mix and I’m unsure of the second half but suspect Lab She is potty trained, crate trained, and house trained She adapts VERY quickly to her surroundings (she learned how to free feed because it’s what my other dog does) She has a lot of energy and would require walks and/or a yard to play in She loves cuddling and has never shown any aggression towards people or dogs in the year plus I’ve had her. I wish I were in a position to take better care of her but I simply cannot.
