Story
Meet Your New Best Friend! Jayce is a 3-year-old Brittnay Mix who is looking for his forever home. While he might be a little shy when you first meet him, give him a moment to come out of his shell, and you'll find a funny, bouncy, and deeply loving companion. Jayce is a "paws-on" kind of dog! He is famous for his hugs and will spend his time trying to wrap his paws around you if he isn't already trying to curl up in your lap. He is the perfect blend of a lounge partner and a playmate. Because of his cautious temperament, Jayce has some specific needs to help him feel safe and successful: No Other Dogs: He prefers being the "only child" and can be reactive toward strange dogs. Quiet Environment: He would not enjoy the high-stress environment of a dog park. Patient Humans: He needs an owner who understands he needs to approach new things at his own pace. No Strangers (at first): He can be vocal with people he doesn't know, but his loyalty to his inner circle is unmatched. If you have the patience to let him blossom, you will be rewarded with a level of love and loyalty that only a dog like Jayce can give. He is ready to be your most devoted friend. Jayce's adoption fee is $325 to offset the cost of vetting and help other rescues in need. He is currently located in Georgia and can be transported up to 1400 miles via our Canine Railroad. For more information, please contact NBRAN Virginia coordinator Leslie Trenta​ .  leslie@leslietrentadesigns.com      June 1, 2026, 7:24 pm

Story
All of our dogs are housed in private homes, we do not have a store or a shelter.  We do not show dogs to interested parties until they have an approved adoption application.  If you are interested in adopting one of our dogs, please fill out an adoption application on our website www.helpingshepherdsofeverycolor.com/adoption-application  You may also find us on facebook:  Helping Shepherds of Every Color Rescue  Update 12/23  Nani has blossomed in foster care and she has turned into a friendly, happy girl.  It's amazing what a little love and TLC will do.  She will need some formal training but that will help her bond with her new family.  Nani is very silly and tries very hard to play with the little dog in her foster home. Nani is a very sweet girl. She is very nervous and timid right now.  Nani would do best with a calm, confident dog companion.  She is just under a year old.  She is very sweet, just very scared.  Nani may not be a good farm dog, she was turned into a shelter because she killed some chickens.  In her defense she was very underweight and very hungry. You will need a very good vacuum cleaner, she sheds like crazy.  March 10, 2026, 1:02 pm

Imagine, if you will, buying a German Shepherd puppy off Facebook and what you get is a real life Needle Felt Sculpture.  That's what Roscoe looks like.   Roscoe is 6 months old and weighs about 20 lbs.  He is used to other dogs, not sure if he has met a cat.  He is also the perfect size to fit in the shopping cart at Tractor Supply.  May 20, 2026, 5:07 pm

Rubin is a young adult male. If you are a hermit who lives at the lake, Rubin might be the dog for you.  He loves to play in the water and he is very sweet but he is very anxious around new people and changes in his routine or environment.  He does not do well in a car.   He is very sweet and smart.  Rubin will need continued exposure to new things and socialization to keep him outgoing and not anxious or scared.  He does well with other dogs, he likes to play with them but sometimes he will test his canine friends.  He is probably not good with cats. Update 2/1/24.  Rubin is doing better around new people.  He has also been out in the yard with small dogs as well as the big dogs.  He gets excited with the little ones but they put him in his place and he leaves them alone.  He generally doesn't get into anything when loose in the house unless it's yummy left overs, then he might be tempted.  He is doing better about getting in the car.  Once he will get in the car, we will work on road trips.  It's a slow process but it is rewarding to see him work through some of his anxiety. He truly is a people dog.  He will also let you know if one of the other dogs needs to go out.  If they bark, he will bark louder to let you know.  Rubin is a comical dog, if you don't have a sense of humor and patience, he is not the dog for you.   Rubin is working hard to overcome his nerves.    March 10, 2026, 1:02 pm

If Panda had a theme song it would be 'Party All The Time' by Eddie Murphy.  He is fun loving and playful. He met a mean kitty and she scratched him.  All he wanted to do was say hello.  Panda would probably be fine with kids, he just needs to be taught not to jump on them.  His favorite pastime is opening boxes, imagine how much fun he would have at your house on Christmas!   He just wants to have fun and be loved, but sometimes he gets overexcited and jumps up on you and wraps his front legs around you.   Panda has a great sense of smell, prepare to be 'frisked and sniffed' if you wear new clothing or pet another dog.May 20, 2026, 5:07 pm

Story
Hello, my name is Echo and as you can see I am a black and white beauty! I was roaming in a neighborhood not too long ago and a very nice deputy saw me. She pulled up right beside me and asked me if I wanted to ride to the safety of the shelter! I said “sure” in my very own doggie way! I waited at the shelter my allotted time and I am now ready for adoption. I have all of my vaccinations, I have a microchip, and I have been spayed. A little problem did show up on my health check up. I am heartworm positive, but no worries! The shelter already has my treatment set up! I hope that someone will want to come meet me and foster me through my treatment! Then we can make it official and you can adopt me!! I am about a year old and I passed all of my behavior tests with flying colors! Come meet me and see why!
