Story
Arthur is a wonderful, happy, playful and loving Doxie puppy who is good with dogs, cats, and people, and so far even chickens. He is all love and snuggles, but has a lot of energy that needs to be worked mentally and physically, and is going to make an active family very happy. Arthur will absolutely need a job, so are looking for an active family who understands enrichment, and that an adolescent pup needs appropriate boundaries.  Please Note: while Arthur has so much love to give, he is a VERY active Doxie. He plays disc and runs with the big dogs. With proper training he will do amazing things and give so much, but he is not your average lap Doxie. Preference will be given to a local adopter (living within 1 hr of zip code 22974). At the time you are seeing this post, this dog is still available for adoption. But please know that we may be working on multiple applications already, and any one of them could be approved at any time. Please READ THIS ENTIRE DESCRIPTION and complete an adoption application, if you are interested in any of our animals. Application at www.greendogsunleashed.org If you send an inquiry to ask if the dog is still available, or just tell us you are interested, your inquiry will not be answered. FILL OUT AN APPLICATION. We can do NOTHING without that. No, we cannot tell you if he would be a match for your family without seeing an application. PLEASE KEEP READING for info. */*/* PLEASE NOTE: The first communication you will receive after completing an application will be an email response, which will have instructions on how to proceed. Please check your inbox AND spam folders for the next 48 hours, for this email. We will not begin processing an application without the information requested in that email. */*/* We are happy to consider applicants from out of state on most dogs. Please read the description to see if this dog is an exception. If the applicant is approved to adopt, they MUST be willing to come to our location in Troy, VA, for a meet and greet. If all parties agree that the pup and family are a good fit, they would take the pup home at that time. For more information about our mission and for an APPLICATION for adoption, please go to www.greendogsunleashed.com. GDU does ask a minimum adoption fee of $400.00. This does not even come close to covering all expenses created by animals while in rescue. We are funded solely by the angels and volunteers willing to donate time and finances. This minimum fee includes DAPP, rabies if age appropriate,, heartworm test and preventative, if age appropriate, and flea and tick treatment, as well as neutering or spaying, if the animal is medically sound to undergo surgery. In an attempt to avoid tummy upset from a sudden change of food, the foster family may include a small, transitional bag of the food the dog/puppy has been eating. And if the dog/puppy has grown attached to a special item (like a toy or blanket), they may send that along, as well. */*/* Young puppies will receive age-appropriate vaccines, and will be spayed/neutered prior to adoption. Adopters may be required to provide additional puppy boosters and at 16 weeks of age, a rabies vaccine. Future annual vaccines, testing and monthly heartworm preventative are REQUIRED, and will be the financial responsibility of the adopter. *****Due to the sheer number of animals and applications in our program, coupled with a limited number of volunteers, applicants MUST have patience as we process applications.   If you do not hear back from us, the animal may have been adopted.   We strive to let people know but sadly cannot offer reasons for denial beyond that.  Any harassment of our volunteers will go unanswered and we will simply block you.   Our volunteers spend their time working hard to ensure the very best for each animal.   Please remember the animal, not the applicant, is our client.*****  ##1769010##

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.PUG!!! Hi! I’m Pug. I’m one of the 26 adult dogs K Kids took from the Scott County Chiweenie hoarding case. I’m called Pug because I clearly am part pug. But I’m the BEST kind of pug: I can breathe really well!!!! I really like other dogs. I’m about 2 years old. I’m pretty shy. I really like sleeping with my foster family. I like playing with the dogs at my foster house, and I LOVE exploring the fenced-in yard here. But I’m still not sure about being petted, and I still haven’t warmed up to a leash or car rides or anything like that. I am going to need someone who can be really patient with me. I need work on my housebreaking. Since leashes are scary, a fenced in yard would be best. But, I’m just scared and I have never snapped. I really want to be someone’s love. Will you love me?

When he finally got to come inside, he became diabetic almost immediately. We have almost got his insulin dosage worked out, and then he can be neutered and have a dental. Bo is definitely feeling better and ready to live out his years in luxury!! He is truly a sweetheart and loves his person. He loves to cuddle and follow you around everywhere. He also loves soft blankets!! Bo CANNOT have a home with small animals he may want to harm. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.September 23, 2023, 6:16 pm

Story
I'm the marvelous Milo!!!! I am a 6-year-old Basset mix, with the softest fluffiest fur you'll ever feel. BROOD is helping me find my forever home for the second time. I was initially adopted in 2017, but my family moved recently and couldn't take me with them. I know I don't have a lot of the typical Basset features like long ears and a low body, but I do have the sweet loving loyal personality of a faithful hound.I am house-trained and can use a doggie door. My foster family has never had to crate me because I am very well-behaved and can be trusted to not make a mess. I am very smart and know lots of words. I take cues from my foster family and know when my foster mom gets her walking shoes on that it is time to go and get so excited. When I see her pick up her backpack, I know it's time for a ride in the car to someplace new and will jump for joy to go on an adventure! I am easy to care for and don't require much to be happy. I love tennis balls and usually carry one with me wherever I go. (Be sure to check out my video!) I am a good sleeper and gladly wait for my family to wake in the morning before starting my day. I like taking a few short walks a day but I'm not one for all this nasty heat. Sometimes on very hot days, I just have to put my feet down and say no! I'm looking for a quiet calm family to love and appreciate me. I need a home without cats as I tend to chase them. I need to be the only dog in the home as the energy level of other dogs is usually too intense for me. I love children as long as they are old enough to understand proper interactions with dogs. Loud noises will startle me so I'd not do well in an apartment or a busy city environment. I am scared of thunderstorms and do take medication to help me deal with the stress of the noise.I have been with BROOD for over 300 days now and I think it is time that I lay down roots with a new family who will love me like I deserve. Will that be you? Please contact BROOD today. My adoption fee is sponsored by a BROOD supporter who hopes I will be adopted soon.**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. Do not apply to adopt from BROOD if you live in another state. We require a virtual home visit and a veterinary reference. The age of many BROOD dogs is unknown, as very few come with official records. The estimate on the dog's age is usually the initial estimate given by the receiving shelter, which may be different from that given at the time of the initial checkup. Different veterinarians may also give different ages, and those different opinions are sometimes reflected on the record. ***BROOD's adoption fees are determined based on the age of the dog. 08/12/2023

Story
I am an honorary Basset named Fannie Mae. I have seen quite a bit in my 10 years of life and am looking forward to settling down with a family to love me and enjoy my senior years. I came to BROOD a few months ago after I was found to be living in neglectful conditions and in a bad situation. I couldn't see a way out and thought I'd be forgotten. Now I have a sparkle in my eye and a smile on my face, knowing my future is going to be full and bright!!!!I am house-trained and crate trained. I am very calm and laid back and make a great walking buddy, with a little jog every once in a while. I love going on walks and, don't let my age fool you, am used to getting about 3-4 miles in every day! I'd love to have a home with a fenced-in yard for me to run and play in. I can be rather agile and have been known to sneak through some rather narrow areas, or a barely opened door, so the fence needs to be very secure. I love people and children but might be best in a home with kids over 10. I can be a sound sleeper and startle when suddenly woken from a deep sleep. So best for me to be around children old enough to know to let sleeping dogs lie. I am quiet and usually only bark if I see another dog, trying to get their attention. I'd be great as an apartment dog, as long as I got in some long walks. I can get into some mischief and chase after small critters. I guess there's some foxhound in my genes. I definitely have the stomach of a Basset and can counter-surf when I smell something tasty. I snuck away with a whole loaf of bread once!!! I love to just chill with my family but do enjoy playing games of keep-away with my foster dad's socks!I may not look like a traditional Basset, but I have the heart and soul of a loving faithful friend to always be by your side. I am gentle, sweet and happy all the time, with a smile fixed on my face. And maybe a little tongue out too!!!! Please don't pass me by, I am ready for my best life!!! Please contact BROOD today!!! My adoption fee is $150.00.**Only BROOD-approved adopters can meet a dog (no exceptions). Our adoption application is on the BROOD website at https://brood-va.org/adoptionapp/.

Story
I'm a Barbie girl, in a Basset world!!! That's right, my name is Barbie and I am a Basset-Beagle mix, or Bagel if you prefer, and am about 8 years old. I came to BROOD after my owner passed away. Friends and family were able to find homes for all my other brothers and sisters but no one wanted me. Now BROOD is helping me to find a forever home that can love and appreciate a sweet, gentle soul like me.I am crate-trained and can happily snooze the day away waiting on your return. I am working on my house training. My foster mom said I have selective hearing and can easily ignore her when I am being extra stubborn and don't want to listen. I don't need much to be happy and am very easy to care for. A few short trips outside to sniff or a short walk around the block is enough for me.Although I am rather independent, I do love other dogs and children. I enjoy my own space so would be best with children old enough to understand I don't always want to play. I love a big chewy bone to gnaw on. I am quiet and usually only bark to greet my family when they come home. I'd be a great apartment companion due to my small size and soft voice. I do have a bit of wanderlust so any fenced area needs to be secure to deter me from testing my boundaries to see if the grass really is greener on the other side. I love blankets and will work to get them positioned just right for a nice long siesta or a quick nap in the sun. I am a champ at sleeping, and snoring! I am a hearty eater at mealtime and will dance and prance with excitement when my foster mom is getting dinner ready. You may notice in my photos that I recently had surgery. I had a very large cyst that was easily removed. It won't grow back and will require no additional treatment.I am an easy to love, simple gal that is sure to melt your heart!
