Story
Mia was found abandoned by a dumpster in Virginia. I took her in from a friend in 2021. She has always been very sweet, but skittish. However she’s never bit anyone or shown aggression to another person. she does well around other dogs as long as she is introduced slowly and properly. She is very loving and loves being pet under her neck and on her belly. She is also house trained and knows to poop and pee outside. One thing you should know is that she is very curious and loves to explore. sometimes this means she pulls on her leash, but she means no harm. Currently i am looking for someone who preferably has a backyard and someone who can spend lots of time with her outdoors as she needs lots of exercise to get her energy out.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.My name is Jasper. That’s probably not my real name because my story is unfortunately a lot like many other unwanted pets. I was left to fend for myself not knowing where my next meal would be. Luckily I was rescued and given my chance to shine. I have proven that I really really love people regardless of my early start with humans. I want to be loved so much that I will beg for just a head rub and lap snuggles. Yes I’m a big strong boy but I’m really a small lap dog disguised in a hound dog body. Do I give slobbery kisses, why yes, is there a problem with that? I love to run and play but if given a choice I’d rather be by my persons side. I would make a great adventure companion. Riding shotgun by your side wherever you go, that would be my doggie dream. Currently I share a foster home with lots of other all size dogs but I would really like to be your only ride or die dog. I’ve gone so long without one on one attention that I’m constantly competing for the attention. Am I perfect? Heck no but I’m a diamond in the rough, clay ready to be molded. I’m looking for my person who is ready to be my furever person. One who will love me and never give up on me. I’ve been waiting a long time to just be loved. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.October 29, 2026, 6:35 pm

Story
Meet Spot! This adorable little girl has the sweetest puppy-dog eyes, the cutest floppy ears, and a personality that's becoming more delightful by the day! Spot is a young puppy who's been spending time in foster care, where she's discovering all the good things about being a puppy. She loves running around, playing with her dog friends, and spending time with people she's gotten to know. She's even developed a sweet bedtime routine of coming over to ask for a little affection before settling down nearby. Spot can be shy with unfamiliar people and new experiences, so she appreciates having time to get comfortable and make friends at her own pace. Once she feels secure, her playful, affectionate side really begins to shine! Other dogs have been wonderful companions for Spot, and we think she'd do best in a home with a friendly, socially confident dog who can help her continue building confidence. She's looking for patient people who will give her plenty of opportunities to play, explore, learn, and grow while respecting her need for a little extra space sometimes. Spot has made encouraging progress in foster care, and we're excited to see more of her personality emerge as she grows. She's still a young puppy with lots to learn, and we're looking for a family who will love her for who she is and support her along the way. Spot is a special placement, and our Behavior Team will work with potential adopters to help find the right fit for this sweet girl.
