Meet Bentley! Bentley is a 9-month-old Australian Shepherd originally purchased from Scarlet Oak Aussies in Virginia. He’s a herding breed who thrives with plenty of exercise, playtime, and mental stimulation!

Bentley has so much love to give and will make a wonderful companion in the right home.

Meet Poppy! Poppy’s journey hasn’t been an easy one. She was found wandering the streets, very matted and frightened, clearly having been through more than any dog should. Despite her rough start, her spirit has always been there, just waiting to feel safe. Poppy is a sweet, soft-hearted girl who will blossom in a calm and loving environment. While she can be a little apprehensive of people during walks, it’s clear she just needs reassurance and patience to build her confidence. With someone by her side who moves at her pace and helps her feel secure, she continues to make progress and show her trusting nature. Once she feels comfortable, Poppy’s sweetness shines through. She is looking for a kind, understanding home that will give her the time, stability, and love she deserves.

Story

Meet Richard, a handsome senior gentleman with a quiet, gentle presence. Though he is blind, he uses his other senses to confidently navigate his surroundings. He’s a calm soul who is happiest in a peaceful home where he can lounge, nap, and enjoy the simple comforts of life, but he also has a playful spark that will surprise you. Despite not being able to see, he absolutely loves to play ball. It truly sparks his joy and brings out his fun, youthful side. Richard has the most adorable haircut and, with his fluffy look, resembles a little Ewok from Star Wars. He is absolutely adorable. He carries himself with dignity and sweetness and truly looks like the distinguished old gentleman he is. When he’s happy, which is often, he does the cutest little wiggle dance, especially first thing in the morning, after a good treat, or when you get home from work. His tail is almost always wagging. He is simply happiest being in good company. He’s an independent man who enjoys doing his own thing, but he also loves cuddles and steady affection. Richard is fully potty trained and makes a fantastic apartment dog. He does well with other dogs and adapts beautifully to city living. He is small enough to fit in a purse and zip around town with you by his side. Richard is looking for a cozy, understanding home where he can relax, be cherished, play a little ball, and enjoy his golden years surrounded by love!

Story

Meet CJ, a gentle, sweet soul who is looking for a calm, quiet home where he can feel safe and secure. Loud noises can be scary for him right now, so he would do best in a peaceful environment with patient people who understand his needs. When CJ feels comfortable, his true personality shines. He is incredibly affectionate, loves being a lap dog, and is happiest when cuddled close to his favorite humans. He forms strong bonds and has so much love to give once trust is built. We are still unsure how CJ feels about other dogs, so a home willing to go slow with introductions or possibly be his only pet would be ideal. With time, reassurance, and lots of love, CJ will make a deeply loyal and loving companion. If you are interested in CJ, please fill out and submit an adoption application today.
