Story
Daffodil aka Dilly 🌼 Dilly is a special girl who has spent the last year conducting some very serious research into whether humans can actually be trusted. When Dilly first came into our program, she was a scared little mess. During the day, she wanted absolutely nothing to do with anyone and preferred the safety of her crate. Once night fell and the humans were safely out of the way, she'd creep around her foster home like a tiny mouse. Then one day... Dilly came out during daylight hours. She walked into the middle of the room, stood completely still, and stared at everyone like she had just made the biggest mistake of her life. But she survived. 😂 So she tried it again. Little by little, Dilly started spending more time outside of her crate. She made friends with her foster family's dogs, and having canine buddies around seemed to convince her that maybe being part of a family wasn't such a terrible idea after all. Fast forward to today, and Dilly has officially decided that her foster mom is her best friend. Foster dad? The jury is still out. She's keeping an eye on him. She still has some of her little feral tendencies. Fast movements? Suspicious. Being picked up? Absolutely unnecessary, thank you very much. But somewhere along the way, Dilly discovered that pets are actually pretty great. Then she discovered cuddles. And eventually, she realized that being loved might not be so scary after all. Dilly will likely take a few steps backward when she moves into a new home. New people and a new environment are going to be a big adjustment for her, and she'll need someone who won't rush the process. Her adopter will need to let her hide, watch, investigate, and eventually decide on her own that they're worth trusting. But we've already watched her do it once. We know that underneath that suspicious little exterior is a dog who desperately wants connection. When Dilly finally decides you're one of her people, you've earned something pretty special. She's just going to need a minute to make sure you're not sketchy first. 🌼

Story
Bricks is a 9 year old, pitbull mix who is absolutely built like a brick. Short, heavy, thick, brown-ish red. He's a low rider with tiny little legs and minimum ground clearance. Bricks is a charming little guy who likes to bounce, sniff and explore! He's happy, friendly and loves to cuddle up under a warm blanket. He was house trained but may need a refresher after being kenneled. He's excellent on-leash and is the perfect little partner to stroll with you around the neighborhood. Bricks was adopted out from a rescue years ago. Shortly, after being adopted from them, he stripped his collar while out for a walk and hurt another dog. Tougher than the 90's crime bill, Va law labeled Bricks as "dangerous" and he will pay for that mistake for the rest of his life. One strike, he's out. He's lucky he isn't dead. He was able to live at a sanctuary ran by that rescue but when they closed, Bricks had no where to go. Lucky for him, the President of Augusta Dog Adoptions is famililar with Va law and was willing to care for Bricks as legally required. Bricks can be adopted within the state of Va with additional requirements. But hey, we have good dogs that no one wants so the chances of that are slim to none. Brick's best chance of finding a home is out of state. He cannot go to a home with cats. He has been ok with some dogs but dominant/aggressive with others. The safest place for him is in a home without other pets. I don't know how to tell someone they should adopt a dog with such a label. You would just have to meet him for yourself. He's little and kind and cute and funny and he deserves to have a family who loves him. A reduced adoption fee of $100 does apply for Bricks, our seniors, special medical and behavioral needs dogs and other "slow to adopt" dogs! Augusta Dog Adoptions is an all- volunteer, foster- based rescue. We take applications online and schedule individual adoptions in the Waynesboro, VA.

Story
Spanky and Darla, an adorable bonded pair of 4-year-old Basset Hound mixes whose names fit them almost as perfectly as the famous Little Rascals. Just like their namesakes, these two are happiest when they`re together, and they are looking for a forever home where they can continue life`s adventures side by side. While Spanky is the confident charmer and Darla is the shy sweetheart, together they make the perfect team. They must be adopted together because their bond is truly something special.Spanky is the outgoing half of this duo and wins hearts everywhere he goes. This handsome, playful boy loves people, enjoys romping and wrestling with his canine friends (especially Darla!), and is always ready for a cuddle or to happily follow his favorite person around the house. Darla, on the other hand, is still learning that the world isn`t such a scary place. She absolutely blossoms around other dogs, especially Spanky, and when she`s running joyful zoomies through the yard with her pack, you can finally see the carefree little Darla hiding beneath her timid exterior.These two will thrive in a patient, understanding home with a securely fenced yard. Because Darla is still very fearful of new experiences, a quieter home without children will help her continue building confidence at her own pace. Watching her take treats from a hand, settle into a routine, and slowly learn to trust has already been incredibly rewarding, and with Spanky by her side cheering her on, we know her best chapters are still to come. If you`ve been searching for a pair that proves love, loyalty, and friendship really can conquer fear, Spanky and Darla are ready to write the next Little Rascals adventure—with you as part of the cast. More photos coming soon!!! Contact BROOD today to meet Spanky and Darla! Their total adoption fee for the bonded pair is $375.00.**Only BROOD-approved adopters can meet a dog (no exceptions).

Story
Chorizo is a super senior Basset mix estimated to be over 10 years old, with a heart as big as his adorable personality. This little 25-pound gentleman is a professional snuggler who loves nothing more than curling up in a soft orthopedic bed or being lifted into bed for a night of peaceful cuddling. Despite his age, Chorizo still has plenty of pep and absolutely loves going for walks, happily ambling about half a mile before climbing into his stroller to continue his adventure. He is friendly with everyone he meets, from new people to dogs and even little humans, and he has never met a stranger.Chorizo is a wonderfully well-mannered companion who has quickly settled into his foster home and seems to appreciate all the comforts of retirement. He gets along beautifully with other dogs and is particularly comfortable having a calm canine friend around, especially when his people leave the house. Chorizo is deaf and has limited vision, but his magnificent Basset snooter more than makes up for it—if he can`t immediately see his foster family, he`ll simply follow his nose until he finds them. He is house-trained, walks beautifully on a leash, rides well in the car, and is even learning ASL, although he already knows the most important sign of all: `cookie!`Chorizo is looking for a quiet, loving home where he can enjoy his golden years at a comfortable pace. Arthritis, cataracts, and his age mean he needs supportive bedding, limited exercise, and a person who can help lift his 25-pound body into the car or bath when necessary. He would do best with a calm canine companion who won`t roughhouse with him, and while he adores children, they should be gentle and supervised because this sweet old boy is a little delicate. Also, a generous BROOD supporter will provide a $100 gift to Chorizo`s adopter.If you have room in your heart for a ridiculously cute, lap-sized senior who wants nothing more than soft beds, leisurely adventures, good food, and someone to love, Chorizo is ready to be your very special little shadow. Contact BROOD today to meet Chorizo! His adoption fee is $150.00.**Only BROOD-approved adopters can meet a dog (no exceptions).
