Story

Kali Mae is in a FOSTER home while she waits for her FOREVER home. Please email PRAS-FOSTER@NNVA.GOV if you would like to meet her. (Cone seen in photos is due to being spayed recently)Meet Kali Mae!Hi, I’m Kali Mae! I’m a 1.5-year-old spayed APBT mix searching for my forever home—and I just know my perfect family is out there waiting for me.I came to the shelter through no fault of my own (my previous family had landlord issues), but I’ve been lucky enough to spend most of my time in a foster home where I’ve really been able to shine. And guess what? I’ve discovered my favorite thing in the whole world… kids! I absolutely adore them. Don’t get me wrong—I love adults too—but kiddos have my whole heart.I’ve met other dogs before and did just fine (I can be a little shy at first), but after settling into my foster home, I’ve decided I really enjoy having my people all to myself. If there are other pets in the home, I may just need slow, thoughtful introductions to feel comfortable.I’m a well-mannered girl who knows how to behave in a home. I don’t jump on furniture, I go right to my kennel when I’m told, and I’ve had no accidents—pretty impressive, right? I’m also an outdoorsy gal. I love playing fetch and then relaxing in the shade, just soaking in the fresh air.If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion—especially one who will adore your kids and be your shadow—I might be your perfect match.If you’re interested in meeting me, please reach out to PRAS-FOSTER@NNVA.GOV. I can’t wait to find my forever family

Story

This furry bullet needs to be rehomed immediately Because of landlord restrictions. Great with kids and other dogs! He is as hyper as can be when he plays! Milo is an extremely friendly dog loves kids and zoomies outside! He is good about going to the bathroom outside and loves doing it! Loves chew toys and food! He enjoys playing with our 2 year old and is very gentle with her. He chases her and she chases him. Wonderful dog to have around kids because he can play for hours with them and get all their energy out! Only fees required would be the AKC transfer fee of $35. Shots do need to be updated just ran out. His Vet is all for paws Christiansburg!
