Story
Daisy is very sweet and affectionate, and she has one of the funniest and quirkiest personalities I've ever seen in a dog. She is consistently fantastic with adults, but her social skills with other dogs and cats aren't great. I have never seen Daisy interact with kids, but I suspect she would do fine with them. Daisy has a heart condition that she regularly takes medication for. Rigorous exercise (i.e. extended bouts of sprinting outdoors) should generally be avoided, which is fine since she is generally a couch potato. I'm seeking a new home for Daisy for a number of reasons that all pretty much boil down to cost of living. Daisy is a delightful dog, and all I want for her is to have a stable home that can comfortably afford a dog.

Story
My former husband and Zuzu were very bonded. It has been 4 years since we split, and she has not bonded with anyone else. She is a very cautious, tentative dog with my son and me, but she was very affectionate and enthusiastic with my former husband. She just needs to be with a person she connects with.

Story
Poppy is a gentle and affectionate 3 hear old. Although a little shy at first, she is a very friendly dog who enjoys being around people and is very well-behaved. Poppy loves to spend her days lounging on the couch and receiving belly rubs, but she also likes to play and have fun. She would make a great addition to a family and would be a wonderful companion. Poppy gets along well with other dogs. Her shelter foster said she loved her kids but we were not told what age the kids are. Poppy weighed 64 pounds at her vet visit a month ago and needed to gain a few pounds. She is heartworm negative, current on vaccines and spayed. Poppy is a lovely dog and anyone would be lucky to have her in their lives. If you are interested in adopting Poppy, please email us with any questions and complete an application! She is fostered in southwest Virginia. *** ADOPTION DETAILS: Each dog is spayed, neutered, (unless medically on hold or too young) up to date on shots, dewormed, and microchipped.

Story
MAJESTY- Rottie Mix Age 10-12 mo ✔️ Cat friendly ✔️ dog friendly ✔️ critter curious (geese) Majesty came to us scared of everything. She had fear based reactivity. The first two weeks she had to have a leash on in order for us to bring her in and out of the crate for potty breaks. She did not trust humans. Somewhere in her past they let her down. She was a scared puppy that had to have interaction with humans on her own terms. Our vet understood her fear based needs and spent lots of time low on the floor passing out treats, not pushing her boundaries. She has come so far and enjoys canine companionship. She is a follower, not a leader. She has been in my foster care for six months and is ready to find her forever family. Majesty weighs 60 pounds is crate trained . New surroundings she is on the timid side. Anything that is new and unchartered will require extra patience giving her the time to sniff and investigate before she will commit to confidence. We have been able to go to tractor supply happy visits to the vets office where there are no expectations except getting treats. She does good on walks, especially when there’s a companion with her. Best home for her is with another friendly outgoing, dog (s) home, potentially quieter home with older kids that wont force her into their personal space nor hers. She has slept in my room with my other dog. She is an avid agile talented counter surfer. Nothing food related is safe on the counters unattended . 🤦‍♀️She is a thief of the countertops.
