Story

Meet Daffodil — a little flower who’s finally learning to bloom. Daffodil is a 3–4-year-old, 17-pound pup with a heart as gentle as her name. She came from a hoarding situation and has spent the last several months discovering what it means to feel safe and loved. Her journey hasn’t been easy, but it’s been remarkable to watch her grow. Daffodil is very dog-friendly and absolutely needs at least one other dog in her home — they’re her comfort, her confidence, and her teachers. A securely fenced yard is also a must, as Daffodil doesn’t yet know how to walk on a leash and finds joy in running full speed through the grass, getting the zoomies, and playing with toys. She’s not fully house trained, but she does well using puppy pads when she can’t make it outside. Daffodil has also shown potential to live peacefully with cats. Because of her past, Daffodil is wary of new people and situations. She needs a calm, patient home without a lot of noise or chaos. The first few weeks (or even months) will take understanding and consistency — but when she decides you’re one of her people, you’ll know it. She becomes affectionate, playful, and loves nothing more than burrowing under the blanket for a snuggle or inviting you to play her favorite games. Daffodil isn’t an “easy” dog — she’s a special one. She’s looking for a home that will meet her where she is and help her continue to blossom into the joyful, trusting little dog she’s meant to be.

Dachshund

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained,

Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Herbie was an owner surrender with some bad skin issues. Herbie went to the vet and got an antibiotic and a prednisone taper and some special shampoo. His skin already looks so much better, and he isn't scratching and crying constantly. His skin is priority one, but then we have another BIG thing to deal with-the lump he has is an inguinal hernia, so he has to have that prepared when he's neutered. And he will probably get a dental when he's under even though his dachshund teeth aren't terrible. Herbie is 8 years old, about 16 pounds, and is a sweet boy. He loves to wander around outside and sleep under the covers. He would like to let everyone know that "Herbie doesn't share food!" Herbie needs a private space for his dinner. Herbie is also housebroken! Herbie is being fostered in Charlottesville, VA, but would LOVE to get to a quieter place than Casa Urban. It's a lot for a sick middle-aged man to deal with. If you'd be able to give Herbie a place to crash while we get him fixed up, or if you'd like to foster to adopt Herbie while we get all his vetting done, please let us know! Herbie's adoption fee will be $300 Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.September 16, 2025, 5:02 pm

Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. What can we say about Ollie? Ollie's a cool little dude. He's about 15 pounds, he's 7 years old, he's fully vetted, he barks a lot but is friendly, and is just desperate for his own person. He came with Ruby, who has been adopted, and while he wasn't bonded with her, I think he was very used to being bullied/bossed around by her. He's starting to figure out who he is without the boss lady! Ollie is currently testing out being bossy himself; he will growl at other dogs who try to get on the same lap he is on, but I think it's just him testing to see who he is without Ruby. He is overall good with other dogs, big and small, and is not all that interested in cats. He's just a nice dog. I think he would love to be an only dog or with one or two other littles. He does sleep and cuddle with Snowbella, who was one of the 4 dogs he was surrendered with. Ollie is in Charlottesville, VA, and he is looking for his human(s)! Ollie likes men and women, and he's fine with other dogs and usually sleeps with them, but he definitely prefers sleeping with humans. He's a burrower! Ollie is a barker (can I just stop saying this? I think we all know all dachshunds bark-- a lot). Ollie is not quite sure about new humans at first, but he warms up quickly. Ollie will need to be watched and kept on a strict potty schedule in a new environment, as he marks when he's stressed, but our house is chaos with so many dogs. I'm sure he will be just fine in no time. Ollie's adoption fee is $300, and he is current on all of his vetting.

Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. This is SnowBelle (Belle). Is she tiny? Sure. Ten pounds. Is she a cutey? Absolutely. Is she a menace? Heck yeah!! Belle is a year and a half old and is a crazy girl--she's all puppy! You might be asking what this little cutey could possibly do to be labeled a menace. Or you might be thinking, "Well yeah, she IS a dachshund". Belle bullies big dogs. Belle would do best with another small dog, because she likes to play and snuggle, but she is very nervous and barky with big dogs. Belle is okay with cats---curious. I think she might chase until she was smacked and then would be respectful. Belle barks. You know----like a dachshund. New people are scary; they must be barked at. Same with kids; totally scary at first, but then once they don't eat her, she's a love. Belle hangs out on furniture (she might actually BE part cat). How's her housebreaking? Not fantastic, but there is hope for her. She needs to be supervised and gotten on a routine. Belle is a cuddler---I mean, even for a dachshund she takes it to another level! She MUST be adopted by someone who is willing to let her sleep ON them. We have more pictures, but you get the idea. If you're looking for your very own live cuddling chaos, this is it. Belle is being fostered in Charlottesville, VA. Her adoption fee is $400, and all of her vetting will be covered by K Kids.

Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Molly is an 8-year-old classic Basset Hound with a big personality and more energy than you’d expect from a senior gal! Independent and confident, she loves spending time outdoors with her nose to the ground, exploring every scent the world has to offer. Walks are one of her favorite activities, and she enjoys every adventure with her family by her side.Molly is house-trained, uses a doggie door, and prefers to sleep in her crate overnight. She loves being around people and soaks up every bit of affection she can get—pets, belly rubs, and kisses are always welcome! She gets along well with other dogs as long as they respect her space, food, and toys—and understand that she’s the boss. Her previous owner also reported that she does well with cats.While Molly adores people, she’d do best in a home without young children under 10, as she appreciates her space and quiet time. She has learned to use her voice since settling in and will bark to alert her family about visitors or passing dogs, wants food or snacks, ready to get in bed, excitement over walks, or just needs some love. She does have mild separation anxiety and whines for a bit when her family leaves. Combined with her barking, she may be disturbing to close neighbors like in a townhouse, apartment, or condo setting.Molly has mild skin allergies that are easily managed with daily medication to keep her looking and feeling her best. Full of sass, love, and classic Basset charm, Molly is ready to find her forever home. Contact BROOD today to meet Molly!

Flash is a handsome, classic 3-year-old Basset Hound with big feelings, big energy, and an even bigger personality. This friendly boy is house-trained, crate-trained, and sleeps quietly through the night like a champ. He’s moderately active, playful, and loves being close to his people—especially when lap time or TV time is involved.Flash thrives on interaction and does best when he has activities to keep both his body and mind busy. He enjoys patrolling the yard (Check out his video!), playing with squeaky toys, and settling down with a good chew when it’s time to relax. One of his cutest talents is standing and balancing on his back legs, which never fails to make people smile.Flash gets along well with other dogs and would be happy either as an only dog or with a playful canine companion. He would do best with an active family who can include him in adventures like walks, outings, or trips to the dog park.
