Story
Allie appears to be around 3 years of age and is in good health. She was surrendered to the county pound due to her owner passing away. She was raising 4 puppies when Bedford Humane took her into foster care. All the puppies have found forever homes and now it is Allie's time. She has learned it is okay to be crated and is house trained. Allie lived with other hound breeds and is now in foster care with another dog. Allie gets excited when let out of her crate, therefore you must be quick to get her outside to potty. She does the zoomies in a fenced yard and plays by herself very well. Allie has met a young child and is a little leery about the high pitched voice. She shows no bad behavior, just stays away. She is very interested in cats, therefore it might be best to have a no cat home. Allie would be a great hiker and a running partner. At the end of the day she has lots of love to give someone. Allie has been dewormed, microchipped, vaccinated, tested for heartworms, is on heartworm preventative, and is spayed. For more information. please visit our website at www.bhsva.org to fill out an application to meet and adopt Allie.

Story
Meet Angel… your future couch hog, personal trainer, and professional snuggler all in one Angel is estimated to be about 2 years old and a lovable Terrier/Boxer mix with just the right mix of goofy and sweet. She already knows sit, lay down, crate, and “bed” (basically a straight-A student), and she’s currently working on “stay”… although she will stay if snacks are involved She’s fantastic on a leash and lives for walks—whether it’s a quick stroll or a full-on neighborhood tour, she’s ready to go. Angel is great with other dogs and kids, making her the perfect addition to your love-filled home. Angel has seen cats but has not been allowed to socialize with them. Her hobbies include: • Giving kisses and paw pats • Snuggling like it’s her full-time job • Being adorably curious about everything including what's on the TV • Occasionally jumping at loud noises like a tiny, dramatic superhero She’s fully housetrained (yes, really), and ready to trade in her current digs for a forever home where she can love big and be loved even bigger. If you’re looking for a loyal best friend with a silly side and a heart of gold, Angel is your girl Adopt this sweet bean… because your couch has been empty for too long. Angel has been Spayed, dewormed, microchipped, vaccinated, tested for heartworms, and is on heartworm & flea tick preventatives.

Story
Puddles came to BHS as a wild child. She is estimated to have been born in December 2025. Puddles is becoming a great companion learning commands. She understands off, stay, comes when called, and sit. She is still lots of puppy, and therefore not recommend for young children that do not understand puppy nibbles and jumping. Puddles is in a kennel learning its okay to not to always be with her owner. She is house trained but must be taken out regularly or she may have an accident. She has short legs and appears to be what some call a pocket Pit. She probably will weigh 50 pounds as an adult. Puddles has been dewormed, microchipped, vaccinated, and is on heartworm & flea and tick preventatives. Puddles has been spayed. For more information, please visit our website at www.bhsva.org to fill out an adoption application. Applications submitted in other software will not be accepted.
