Story
Ozzie was found as a stray, so we don't know anything about him, or what his parents were. The truth is we just guess what breed might be there ... what I do see is kindness, a longing and hope ... for someone to care ... someone to love ... So he can be whatever magical boy you want him to be. The short time I have fostered Ozzie I am learning more about him everyday. I do know Ozzie is a cutie, friendly, good-natured pup brimming with puppy optimism. If you're looking for a loving boy to join your family and have time to help him learn to be a great dog then he'll repay you with a lifetime of doggy smooches. Ozzie is a large puppy at 4 months old, he weighs 25 pounds, he has a lot of growing to do, and he's going to be a big dog. Ozzie is not house trained and does tend to jump when he is excited, so remember he is a puppy with a lot to learn about life. He seems to be willing to cooperate when walking on a leash. Ozzie plays well with others puppies but hasn't been exposed to cats. Ozzie has been wormed, microchipped and his vaccinations are current for his age. Ozzie is not yet neutered, so he is not available for adoption outside of counties contiguous to Bedford County. Ozzie's adoption fee is $300.

Story
Dolly is a very sweet and lovable pup. She does have a lot of energy which is typical for a pup. She chases my 30 lb. Aussie all around the house. She sleeps well all night and will yell pretty loud at 7 in the morning to wake you up. Dolly has been dewormed, microchipped and vaccinated according to her age. She has not been spayed yet since she is too young. We ask you to sign a contract and give an extra deposit of 50 dollars which you will get back when you show us you have had her spayed at one of our clinics which we pay for. Since she is not yet spayed, Dolly is not available for adoption outside of the counties contiguous to Bedford County. For more information, please visit our website at www.bhsva.org to fill out an adoption application.

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. For more information please visit our website at www.bhsva.org to fill out an adoption application.

Story
Dino is an Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler mix. Sweet Dino is still waiting after his sisters were adopted. He’s growing and learning. Dino is walking well on a leash, got the crate down, with timely outside breaks, still jumps when he gets excited, (working on that). Dino is smart you can almost see the wheel’s turning, although he is energetic he isn’t wild and crazy, he is still a puppy. Dino has been to events and is very people and dog friendly. Dino would love to have his own family. He knows his family is out there somewhere. Dino's vaccinations are current for his age, he has been wormed and is microchipped. Since Dino is not yet neutered, he is not available for adoption outside of the counties contiguous to Bedford County.

Story
Hollie is available for adoption through Bedford Humane Society, VA. Hollie was born late October 2025. Hollie's adoption fee $175, and will assist in paying for an exam and Heartworm test. She was originally adopted in January 2026 but her new home had to sadly return her. Hollie would be best not to go to a home where she has access to chickens or rabbits. She's great inside the home but will chew on shoes. Lazy snuggler and loves to be a lap dog. She sleeps with former owner but cannot have a dog bed that is stuffed. She lived with two other large dogs. She's never been around small dogs or cats and will hurt chickens and rabbits, therefore we do not recommend a home with cats or small dogs. Hollie does fine with men and women. She knows a few commands and loves to go on car rides. She takes baths well but does not like cold water. If you can give Hollie a fur-ever home please submit an application through our website, BHSVA.org
