Story
Hi, I'm Remmy! I love exploring every nook of my world, sniffing out adventures and making everyone laugh with my goofy antics. Curling up next to a friend is the best way to spend my day because I have so much love to give. I grew up in a home of humans that work from home so while I'm used to a lot of snuggle time, I am also just as content being left alone. My loyalty runs deep; once I find my person, I'm devoted for life. I'm used to a laid back routine, a fenced yard, and sharing my home space with my sister, who is also looking for a new home. While it would be great if we could be adopted together, I would also fit well in a home by myself or with another friendly dog, though I am not neutered yet. I'm just waiting to share all my love and curiosity with a family who needs a bit of laughter and a lot of loyalty. If you want a forever friend to explore and relax with, I'm your guy!

Story
Hi, I'm Sabrina! I am laid back and love a simple routine, but am also excited to explore the world. Though I cherish quiet moments like basking in the sun, I can easily be convinced to go for a walk, a hike, or even pull my owner on a skateboard! Me and my toy ball are inseparable and I'm always eager for a game of fetch or tug of war with it. My independent spirit means I'm content on my own but always loyal to those I love. I've also mastered the art of being super attentive to human's moods and am always ready to offer love, cuddles, and gentle kisses during anxious or hard times. Because I was attacked as a puppy, other big dogs make me upset, however I get along with some smaller dogs and my brother (who is also looking for a new home). Ideally, we could be adopted together, but I'm also perfectly content being an only pet. If you're looking for a sweet soul to share in both peaceful and playful times, I'm your girl!

Bruno

American Bulldog

Male, Young
Petersburg, VA
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Bruno is a 4yo male American Bully who is kid friendly but does not mesh well with other dogs. He's irritated easily by other male dogs specifically, but does well with female dogs. This is likely due to lack of interaction with other dogs as he has limited to no contact with other animals. He's very spoiled, affectionate, loves to cuddle, jump and eat. He loves to follow you around and literally go where you go. He loves car rides and chew toys. Bruno is trainable and knows some simple commands, I've tried training in the past but was way too costly. Bruno is fixed and up to date on all shots/records (records of service can be provided). He does not fancy visits and absolutely hate having his nails clipped!! I'm looking to rehome because I honestly cannot give him the attention he needs. I would love for him to go to a great home with family who can introduce him to the things I have failed to do so (daily walks, dog parks, exposure to other animals, etc).

She’s a very smart dog. Loves attention. Loves her belly getting scratched. She’s crate trained. We trained her with a shock collar but shock her twice the entire time we’ve had her. She was raised with cats and birds. She doesn’t like small dogs. But we have not reintroduced her to small dogs. She’s full of energy for age.

Story
Twix is a wonderful dog who is neutered. Currently going through a divorce and not sure how things will play out. But he needs a good home because hes not getting what he needs here. I am unsure how my future will play out. But I know between everything I have to balance its better for him. I have to start over. So he will need a good home. He tends to play rough with other dogs. So he probably wont get along well with them. He is good with kids.
