Story
Pebbles and her siblings found themselves lost looking for a family to call their own. Bedford Humane Society will do their best to make that happen. At 8 weeks, Pebbles is still a baby, so she will need a family ready for all the normal puppy stuff: house training, leash work, manners, teething, supervision and all the occasional head-scratching decisions made with full confidence and zero life experience. Pebbles is off to a fantastic start BUT is not a pre-installed adult dog. Pebbles is a puppy and requires actual parenting. Please when you consider adopting Pebbles to do your research of this breed, they are wonderful dogs but not for everyone. Pebbles' vaccinations are current for her age, she is microchipped and has been wormed. Since Pebbles is not yet spayed she is not available for adoption outside of the counties contiguous to Bedford County. Her adoption fee is $300.

Story
We have had Poppy since she was born in 2023. She is turning 3 on Sept. 12 2026. She is an active, playful purebred German Shepherd who is professionally obedience trained and house trained. She is great with kids and other dogs. The reason we need to rehome her is because we found out a year ago that one of our sons is severely allergic to dogs. We have tried to make it work for the last year, but it’s really affecting his quality of life.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Enzo is an old soul who has the sweetest disposition. His eyes show his deep desire for connection with humans, and he will appreciate a patient home that will give him the months he needs to adjust. He has come so far since entering our care; he was pulled from a local shelter who rescued him from a life on his own, having very little human contact as a young puppy. Enzo trusts and loves other dogs very much and is learning not all humans wish to cause him harm. He is attached to his foster family (adults and children) and trusts them. Despite his days being full of learning new things, he has been so sweet and patient, considering everything is a new experience. Enzo initially did not like being put on a leash, but after taking long daily leash walks with his foster family, he has come to love them and walks with his tail held high. Enzo would love to have a canine companion. Enzo's pictures are deceiving. He is a petite guy at only 40lbs. Enzo is neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, dewormed, tested heartworm negative and on heartworm and flea/tick prevention. His adoption fee is $100.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.Interested in this animal? The first step is an application, which can be completed at www.cvrrescue.org/adoption-applications/. The adoption fee helps cover a portion of the care provided for our animals, including spay/neuter, microchip, heartworm testing for dogs, FeLV/FIV combo testing for cats, deworming, age-appropriate vaccines (including rabies vaccine), and any medical care received while in our care. All cats and dogs are on flea/tick and parasite prevention for the duration of foster care. Notes about puppies: Adopters can expect a new puppy to have accidents, chew things they shouldn't, and have other normal, energetic puppy issues until they are trained, including jumping, mouthing, and general youthful naughtiness. If you experience puppy issues, please feel free to contact us; we’re happy to offer guidance. Also, if a puppy is a mixed breed, we cannot guarantee an adult weight. If your residence has weight restrictions or if you’re looking for a specific adult weight, we don't recommend applying for a mixed-breed puppy. We also offer rehoming services for pets currently owned by individuals. In these cases, we list the animal as a courtesy to the owner, and the animal is not currently in the care of CVRR, such that we can make no representation or guarantee of the animal’s behavior, demeanor, or health assessment. All information listed for a courtesy-posted animal is provided by the current owner and should be verified by any potential adopter. CVRR is a nonprofit organization. We have no paid staff, and all applications are reviewed and processed by our volunteers. Please be patient and understand that it may take 7-14 days to process your application, check your references, and gather follow-up info. You can expedite the process by providing accurate phone numbers and email addresses for your vet and landlord references, and by answering each question fully. Once your application is approved, we will schedule a meet-and-greet to see if the animal picks you, too. If it seems the adoption will be a good match for all, we will collect the adoption fee and complete the adoption contract. CVRR is a NO KILL rescue organization, and we have a LIFETIME COMMITMENT to all of our animals. If for any reason the adoption does not work out, the animal must be returned to CVRR. We will reevaluate the animal and choose a new home based on the best fit for it. March 8, 2026, 1:11 pm
