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
Tator is a delightful, energetic young puppy. Although we don’t know about Tator’s background, he is a very people oriented puppy. Tator is working on his potty skills, right now he is in a small kennel and he tries to let you know when he needs to go outside. He is usually quiet in his kennel unless he needs you to let him take a potty break. Tator rides well in a car, he's working on walking on leash, which his doesn’t mind, but tends to get distracted and runs around your feet. Tator loves and wants to be with his people, and as a young puppy he sometimes forgets he is not supposed to jump up on you, so I would suggest a family with no small children and older children that are respectful of a young dog. He plays well with other dogs although we always suggest a meet and greet if you have a dog. Tator also has a red jolly ball, his favorite which he is growing into, learning to bring back as he loves to carry it around. Tator’s vaccinations are current for his age, he has been dewormed, treated with flea/tick preventative, and will be microchipped. Tator is not neutered so he is NOT available for adoption outside of counties contiguous to Bedford County. For information please call Bedford Humane Society 540 586 6100……or go to http://bhsva.org/adoptables to fill out an adoption application.

Jolene has been patiently waiting for someone to open their heart to give her a home. Jolene is know as the hugger when she goes to adoption events. She is so excited to see new people she just wants to hug you and would crawl up in your lap if you would let her. She loves running with her ball or just sitting on the hill watching me. She sometimes gets nervous when meeting other dogs, usually bigger ones, she loves to play and she loves puppies she has been so good with new puppies I foster. As all her siblings she loves the water, small pool and went wading in the creek on a walk with a new doggy friend the other day. Jolene is a little unsure of a car.. but she rides well .. getting to know good thing do happen when you go for a ride. Jolene is a good girl … she just needs someone to give her a chance.

Story
After a lot of soul searching, Bruno’s owner decided for Bruno's well being he needed to find Bruno a new home. Too many hours alone and in a crate was no place for this sweet boy. He has entrusted to Bedford Humane Society to find that home for Bruno. Bruno is a smart energetic boy who needs stability and training. Bruno has lived in a home but needs to work on his manners. Bruno would be best suited in an active home dedicated to giving him the training to become the wonderful dog he is destined to be. Bruno needs to be in a home with older dog-savvy children. Bruno will let you know if he needs to go out when he is in a crate and he can be quite insistent. Bruno loves to carry a ball and run (bound) around the yard … not going far from his person. It will not take long for Bruno to become a solid citizen. This boy is smart! Bruno’s vaccinations are current, he is on heartworm medication, flea and tick preventatives, microchipped and neutered. Bruno’s adoption fee is $600, which includes a training package with The K-9 Academy. For more information please visit our website at www.bhsva.org to fill out an adoption application.
