Story
Approximate Age: 1 year Approximate Weight: 38 pounds Meet Blueberry Burst! ● Generally calm with occasional playful bursts ● Loves giving kisses and soaking up affection ● Decent on the leash — occasional pulling but responds well to correction ● Partially potty trained; still learning how to signal when he needs to go out ● Very food- and treat-motivated ● A total sleepy boy — loves napping on the bed or couch ● Does not enjoy the crate. ● Mixed reactions to cats — fine with some, too curious with others ● Would benefit from a younger dog companion; gets lonely without his person ● Scared of loud noises ● Needs to keep his person in sight to feel secure especially when something he feels is loud or scary happens. ● Would love a yard to run and explore ● Ear scratches, chin rubs, and belly rubs are his favorites ● Rarely barks unless crated ● Counter curious but correctable ● Avid snorer, dreamer, and drooler — full of quirky charm Blue Berry Burst is a sweet, soft-hearted boy who melts into his humans and just wants to feel safe and loved. He’s a big napper with an even bigger heart, hoping for a home that understands his fear of abandonment and can give him the companionship he craves. ********************************************************************* Schedule a meet-and-greet by completing our Adoption Survey on the Adopt page of our website at https://www.olddominionhumanesociety.org/adoption-survey.

Story
Bolt is a super friendly, cuddly rescue pup. I have had him about two years and he is a wonderful companion suited for a busy household. He would thrive in a home with children. He gets along great with other dogs as I have two. He plays hard but mostly when a human is present so I believe he would also do well in a home without other dogs. Bolt has separation that is mostly under control (meds), this is why I believe he needs a home with multiple people so he always has comfort, he will let you pet on him all day. He has been through multiple rounds of training so he knows basic commands and will follow them. His biggest struggle is being created by anyone other than myself so a home that allows him to free roam or with minimal boarding would have the easiest transition. Zero aggression, no matter the situation. Loves to swim, recall with distractions could use some work. Favorite toy types: benebone, rope toys, plush toys (to tear up), and soccer balls.
