Story
Doc (Doberman) and Tank (Yellow Lab) checking back in to say hello! We`re still in search of a forever home together, won`t it be yours? We go to adoption events and outings all the time and do so well meeting everyone. There`s no such thing as a stranger to us, just friends we haven`t met yet. Kids dont bother us, other chill dogs are no issue either, and we`re both potty trained. We`re also part of the `Best Buds` adoption program where you pay one adoption fee for the both of us like a BOGO! Please someone adopt us two spunky seniors together, we`re the best boys ever!The kennels here are almost full and now would be a great time to adopt. Not ready to adopt? Consider temporarily fostering! We provide all supplies, you provide the love! Get more fostering details here: https://www.norfolk.gov/261/Foster-Program

Story
Meet Maven !! This beautiful puppy came to us from a shelter. She was terrified and shut down. She is still very shy but it starting to come out of her shell. She needs a family that is willing to give her time and help her build up her confidence. Maven is a female Doberman mix. She is approx. 6 months old. She currently weighs 33 Pounds. She will be spayed, microchipped and up to date on vaccines as part of her adoption. She is thankfully Heartworm negative. Maven has been great with other dogs. She really needs another dog in the home to help her feel safe. She uses the other dogs to help her when she is afraid and to help her see there is nothing to fear when dealing with new situations. We do not know how she would do with cats. She is crate trained and likes to have her crate as a safe place to retreat to if things get overwhelming for her. She is good in the car but is still a bit uneasy on rides. She won’t be immediately good on the leash as she has to build up trust with you first. Once she is more comfortable with you and your home, she does fairly well with it. She is doing better with potty training but does still have some accidents. During the first week or so in your home as she is learning to feel safe there will likely be many more accidents. The safer and more comfortable she gets the better she is with the routine. Maven is extremely smart. Her breed is known for this. She loves toys and is learning how to play with people. She will need a family willing to keep her mind and body busy. She only has a medium energy level at the moment but we fully expect her to be much more energetic once she feels more confident. She loved having another dog to play with and she takes corrections from other dogs during play very well. She did chew some things she shouldn’t the first few days in her foster home but it seemed to be more from nerves. After a few days she has no longer continued that behavior. If not fully exercised or mentally stimulated she would likely start having undesirable behavior issues in the home. A tired dog is a happy and well-behaved dog! She would be best with older children. She is fostered with kids however they are very respectful of her space. She needs to be left alone when she is afraid. She is also not a dog that likes a lot of chaos and being chased etc. She will try to flee and will also growl if cornered and scared. If you push it past that she will nip at you. This can be avoided by giving her the time and space she needs to feel comfortable with you. If you do that, she becomes very easy to handle in the home. Unfortunately, young children cannot reliably understand this and that is why she needs a home with older kids. She has not shown any food, toy or treat aggression with humans or other dogs. She shares very well. Maven is looking for a family that understands she will need some time and work to build up her confidence. This breed is truly amazing and so loyal. If you are dedicated to putting in the work to help her through her fear you will end up with the most amazing and loyal companion. Adopting a Doberman is a huge responsibility. These are strong intelligent dogs. It is absolutely essential that you properly train and socialize them with other animals and people throughout their lives. They need a strong and knowledgeable owner. This is not a breed for a first-time dog owner. Unfortunately, this breed has a stereotype of being aggressive or scary. By adopting one you need to understand this and ensure your Dobie is an ambassador for the breed and always well trained and under your control at all times. These dogs can be the absolute most loyal and loving family dogs you’ve ever owned. The way they turn out is largely based on the effort you put into them with training and socialization. If you’re not fully willing and committed to do this then it’s not the breed for you. 🛑These dogs are banned from almost all rentals (to include most vacation rentals) AND banned from many homeowners insurance policies. Do not apply to adopt if you have not called and verified with your landlord and/or insurance company that you can own one. 🛑 Vet and home checks required. Fence yard required 6ft or higher (she can easily jump a 4ft fence) Located in Hampton VA. (She will need to be adopted within a 1 hour drive radius) ‼️Please message VillageDogResource@gmail.com directly with questions or to get an application.‼️

These pups are in Norfolk, Virginia too!

Story
Lacey is a pretty young, 2 year old, 50 pound Rhodesian Ridgeback mix girl that lived the first years of life on a chain outside in a man’s backyard.  She has had a few litters of pups and PREFERS to be the only queen of the house.  Being always chained, many dogs have a defensive attitude of being jumped on and often prefer to be the only pet in the home.  She is very sweet and loving and adores meeting new people and making friends.  She loves men especially and is gentle with children.  She is so very calm and easy going around the house.  She is not a fan of the crate because it is new to her.   She was never crated until now.  She doesn’t seem to be destructive at all in the house.  She loves sleeping on the bed at night and will sleep right next to you.  She has been in HEAVEN because she has never had the inside comforts of a home.  This smart girl can be taught so many things.  Please consider giving her a comfy and loving home and the life she deserves.  She is ready now!  She is housebroken and loves car rides and can travel to a new home anywhere.  If you want a well rounded and easy dog, you really need to pick Lacey!!!   Email Critter Cavalry Rescue and ask for an application to adopt.   Email:  ccrtennessee@gmail.com  She is ready to pack her bags and head fast as lightning to a new dog bed and people who will treat her like a Queen. PLEASE NOTE:   Our dogs and cats are fostered in Tennessee and can transport weekly up to the Northeast region.  Request an application and learn more about Critter Cavalry at https://www.crittercavalry.com/adoption.April 23, 2024, 4:30 pm
