Story
🌟 Meet Portia—Your New Best Friend in Waiting 🌟 Portia’s journey hasn’t been the easiest, but her heart is still as big and bright as ever. Adopted almost two years ago, she recently found herself back in search of a forever home due to unforeseen changes in her previous family’s life. None of it was her fault—life just got complicated. Now she’s boarding at Animal Friends’ Pampered Paws, where she has quickly become a staff favorite. 🐾 What Makes Portia Special Daycare Queen: She LOVES daycare and participates every single day. Playtime is her happy place. Dog Social Butterfly: She gets along beautifully with other dogs. Cat-Friendly: She lived peacefully with cats. Chicken… not so much: She cannot live with chickens (she thinks they’re too interesting). People & Kid Approved: Sweet, gentle, and affectionate with humans of all ages. Obedient & Smart: She listens well—though she does expect a little bribery when it’s time to come inside. Outdoor Enthusiast: Playing outside is her absolute favorite activity. House & Crate Trained: She’s got the basics down perfectly. A Total Sweetheart: Staff at the pet resort adore her, and it’s easy to see why. 💛 Why She’s Waiting Portia hasn’t lost hope. She’s ready—truly ready—for a family who will love her, play with her, and give her the stability she deserves. She has so much love to give, and she’s eager to share it with someone special. 🏡 Could That Someone Be You If you’re looking for a loyal, playful, affectionate companion who will brighten your days and melt your heart, Portia might just be the perfect match.

Story
Meet Appa! Appa is the sweetest little guy with a whole lot of love to give! He’s wonderful with other dogs and cats, and he previously lived in a home with children. He’s potty trained, has great house manners, and doesn’t bother visitors. He can even use a designated potty spot when getting outside isn’t possible. Talk about a good boy! A few things Appa’s future family should know: • He’s still working on his leash skills and seems much more accustomed to running and playing off-leash in a yard. • He LOVES car rides! • He is VERY food motivated and will do just about anything for a tasty treat. • He’s a little counter surfer, so he’ll need some help learning to keep those paws on the floor. • Crates and grooming aren’t exactly his favorite things, but he does well loose in the house. • He’s also a self-appointed security officer who will alert you if a dangerous blinking light or suspicious leaf blows past the door. Appa is incredibly lovable, easygoing, and ready to be someone’s very best little buddy. ********************************************************************* 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
Midnight, a common name for a common black dog....but what about me?? AM I COMMON??? NOPE! I am the lion of dog breeds :) Nothing normal or common about me! Not my beautiful mane OR my beautiful chow chow personality! So I was found in a park, abandoned with my "friends" after my owner died :( LUCKILY i found a rescue who not only LOVES the breed, but also has helped me get healthy (think heartworms and bad skin) but also will find me exactly the right family! (HOPEFULLY in a colder climate!!) I am not a puppy and since I am a single dog home I really would do best without young children or unpredictable adults :) I am a magnificent breed but we are a little picky about our friends and need someone who KNOWS and LOVES my breed.. I am ready for you if you are ready for me.... put in the adoption application!! Local adoption fee is $300 (in TX) OUt of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)
