Story
Meet Wanda 🌸 **Two pups, one very special bond — Cosmo and Wanda are looking for a home together** Wanda is a small Chihuahua mix with a thoughtful, observant spirit. She’s a reserved girl who takes her time, carefully reading the world around her before stepping in. Rather than rushing into everything, Wanda chooses to move at a pace that feels safe to her—and that calm awareness is one of her greatest strengths. She is still learning that humans can be trusted, but once she forms that bond, Wanda is incredibly sweet and affectionate. She responds beautifully to soft voices and gentle baby talk, and when you’re calm and patient, she’ll happily settle into your lap and enjoy quiet moments together. She is bonded to her brother, Cosmo, and must be adopted with him. Wanda draws confidence from Cosmo’s protective nature and feels safest knowing he’s by her side. Together, they create a perfectly balanced pair—his bravery and her quiet discernment complement each other beautifully. Wanda thrives in a low-traffic, peaceful home where her sensitivity is respected. Fast movements can startle her, but with time and consistency, she continues to learn that the world isn’t as scary as it once seemed. With patience, understanding, and a gentle home, Wanda will reward you with deep trust and a kind of devotion that only a truly thoughtful dog can give.

Story
Duke is a 15-lb pug mix who has officially retired from chaos. After surviving many rough years in a hoarding house, Duke has decided he’s done with nonsense and is now accepting applications for a peaceful, low-key life where his preferences are respected at all times. And yes — he has a "few" preferences. Duke is firmly in his “get off my lawn” era. He prefers: ☀ Sunshine naps (the sunnier, the better) 🛋 Sitting next to you...or on you 🛏 Sleeping in your bed (or at least in your room) 🚶 Walks, walks and more walks 🏡 A quiet home with no other animals Duke must be your one and only - he has no interest in sharing his space, his human, or his peace. He’s affectionate, loyal, and sweet — as long as you understand that he wants what he wants, when he wants it. Duke thrives with patient, understanding humans who appreciate a dog with strong opinions and a deep love for routine. He doesn’t need excitement or adventure sports. He needs consistency, calm, and a person who can laugh when he side-eyes them. Duke isn’t trying to impress anyone. He’s just looking for a soft place to land, a human who loves him and respects his boundaries, and a forever home where he can live out his golden years as he chooses. If you’re looking for a dog who will happily nap in the sun, snore in your bed, and judge you lovingly from the couch… Duke is ready to move in.

Waynesboro, VA
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Good with dogs, Needs special attention, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
On June 12, 46 dogs were saved from a "rescue" in Patrick County where they were living in crates and outdoor kennels and not being properly cared for. As you know we have a special place in our hearts for Patrick County Public Animal Shelter and were able to help them by taking six of the dogs into our program! Meet Little Miss, who is now ready for adoption! Little Miss is a 13 pound, mixed breed diva who is guessed to be about 10-12 months old. Little Miss has a big personality but she's no little lap dog! She is scared of new people and prefers to keep her distance. She is learning so many things in her foster home but will need someone who understands that she did not come from a normal environment and will need basic training and time to adjust. Little Miss is comforted by the presence of other dogs and will need at least one other and a fenced in yard to be happy. She is a lucky little miss and is ready to start the search for her furEVER home! Augusta Dog Adoptions is a 501c3, foster-based rescue. We take applications online and schedule adoptions in Waynesboro, VA. A $175.00 adoption fee ($300 for puppies under 6 months old) helps us take care of all the dogs we rescue. All dogs are spayed/neutered, tested for heartworm and tick borne diseases (if old enough), microchipped, and vaccinated for rabies (if old enough), distemper/parvo and bordetella. They are also treated for internal and external parasites. Many dogs also receive extensive medical care such as dental work and major surgeries. For more information and to apply to adopt, please visit www.augustadogadoptions.org

Story
Medical Foster Spotlight: Sadie (aka Mavis) Looking for a foster (or foster-to-adopt)! Meet Sadie, also known as Mavis—a sweet little senior Chihuahua with the cutest underbite you’ll ever see. At around 10 years old and under 10 lbs, she may be tiny, but she has a big personality and an even bigger heart. Sadie has several upcoming procedures: senior bloodwork, cherry eye surgery, a spay, dental surgery, and a mammary mass removal. Because of all these medical needs, she deserves to be in a quiet, loving foster home where she can relax and heal between appointments. She is super sweet, loves people, and would thrive in a calm environment where she can soak up love and snuggles. She is currently intact and still goes into heat, so it’s important her foster can keep her safe until she is spayed. We are looking for a foster in or near Louisa County, VA, or someone willing and able to travel for her surgeries. As always, fosters have the first option to adopt once the pet is medically cleared and ready for adoption. ? If you can open your home to Sadie during this critical time, please fill out our foster application today! ? Apply here: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/HPAW/Dog ? Questions?

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. This is Bean. He’s a chiweenie . He came to us from a hoarding house a while back. Bean has some preferences for his forever home. He wants to be the only dog. No men, cats, or people with hats! (He’s going to write a Dr. Seuss book for little neurotic dogs ). Kids are weird and must be barked at endlessly, so probably he doesn’t want to live with any of those, either. Bean’s foster mom reports that Bean would happily stay under the covers in bed for days at a time. Bean is 5-6 years old and about 6 pounds. He’s a very sweet boy (if you aren’t any of the things he hates that are clearly outlined above ) . He has this little trick where he puts his paws to his chest for treats and spins Bean's adoption fee is $300 and he is fully vetted including a recent dental. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.October 13, 2024, 4:16 pm
