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
Moped is a sweet, Happy go lucky Beagle/Dachshund mix guy who is bursting with personality! He’s a certified lap dog who loves being close to his people- but don’t be surprised if he suddenly gets the zoomies while playing. He’s currently thriving in his foster home with another dog and takes his cues from his canine companions, making him a great fit for a home with another easygoing pup. Moped is crate trained, good with other dogs, and a total snuggle bug. He is a little self concious about a small benign tumor on his head, but he wants to assure you that it is completely harmless and just adds to his unique charm!

They are about 10-11 weeks old and weigh about 6-8 pounds. Their short little legs make us wonder if they are dashund mixes but any guess on breed would only be a guess! These boys are happy and friendly and sure to be a great addition to your family! Augusta Dog Adoptions is a 501c3 charitable, foster- based rescue. We take applications online and schedule individual 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.

Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
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
Meet Millie 🤍 Millie came to us after our field team found her sick and chained outside — but if you met her today, you'd never guess how hard her start was. She is pure sweetness, the kind of dog who just wants to be close to you and soak up every bit of love she can get. And honestly? She's earned it. She's currently working through heartworm treatment, taking things slow and resting up — but she's handling it like a champ. In the meantime, she's been discovering what it feels like to be truly cared for: cool air, soft beds, a full belly, and a family who adores her. Safe to say she's settling in just fine. When she's ready, Millie will be looking for a home where she can keep right on being loved. She does great with kids and other dogs, and we think she'll thrive anywhere she's given the chance to just be a dog — cherished, comfortable, and finally at peace. She didn't have someone in her corner before. Now she does — and we're not stopping until she has a forever home to match. We urge you to apply to adopt Millie if a sweet hound sounds like the perfect addition to your family🐾

Story
Gillian is a two-year-old Basset with a sweet personality, a silly streak, and a serious appreciation for belly rubs. This affectionate girl loves being near her people and will happily follow you from room to room, stopping only when it`s time for one of her many cozy naps. She adjusted to her foster home remarkably quickly and has already shown what an easygoing companion she can be. Whether you`re settling in with a good book, binge-watching your favorite show, or just relaxing on the couch, Gillian would love nothing more than to be right beside you.Gillian is playful when the mood strikes, enjoying games of chase with her foster family and canine friend, as well as short daily play sessions and leisurely walks. She gets along beautifully with other dogs but would also be perfectly happy as your one-and-only. She`s friendly, rides well in the car, responds nicely to redirection, and is highly motivated by treats, making her a willing student as she learns the rules of her new home. Just be prepared for her to give the squirrels and rabbits in the yard her opinion, because this otherwise mellow girl can get surprisingly vocal when small critters appear.Gillian is still working on her house training, but she`s making excellent progress with a consistent routine and plenty of positive reinforcement. She doesn`t yet reliably tell you when she needs to go outside, so her new family will need to continue taking her out regularly while she puts the final pieces together. She is affectionate, adaptable, and wonderfully easy to love, with just enough Basset silliness to keep life entertaining.If you`re looking for a cuddly companion who is equally happy playing for a few minutes or spending the afternoon napping beside you, Gillian could be your girl. Contact BROOD today to meet Gillian! Her adoption fee is $400.00.**Only BROOD-approved adopters can meet a dog (no exceptions). Our adoption application is on the BROOD website at https://brood-va.org/adoptionapp/. We adopt to residents of Virginia, Maryland, West Virginia, DC, Delaware, and southern Pennsylvania.

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).
