Story

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

Hello, this is Oreo. He was going to get dropped off to our local shelter but they said they would euthanize him due to overcrowding. He is a Rottweiler/pitbull mix. I rescued him when he was approximately 10 weeks old. He is 8 years old now. Housebroken. Gets along with other dogs. Loves to lay around. He is a sweetheart that loves people and goes wherever the people are. He is getting older and starting to shed a lot more with noticeable skin issues. He also has been getting ear infections more frequently. Otherwise he is a healthy dog! He is up to date on his rabies shot. Since all the kids have left the house and the adults are not home much, he spends a lot of time alone and his quality of life has noticeably decreased. Oreo would do great with a retired family that spends a lot of time at home. He is a true companion. He would thrive in a sanctuary environment as well.

Dawg

American Staffordshire Terrier Mixed Breed (Medium)

Male, 3 yrs 1 mo

Colonial Heights, VA

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs,

Story

Meet Dawg (aka Smoke) 🐾 This sweet boy was abandoned at South Park Mall in Colonial Heights. Dawg is from Petersburg, and his former owners are aware that he is safe here at the shelter—they even shared his “Do You Know Me?” post. Abandonment charges are being served Dawg is now available for adoption and is estimated to be around 3 years old. He is truly as sweet as they come—friendly, affectionate, and well-behaved. He loves everyone he meets and has done well meeting other dogs here at the shelter. A meet-and-greet is required for any potential adopters who already have dogs in the home. We haven’t had the chance to cat test him yet. We can’t imagine why no one would come reclaim this wonderful boy, but now we’re focused on finding him the loving home he deserves.

Bonded Pair

Roscoe

Hound (Unknown Type) Labrador Retriever

Male, 1 yr 8 mos

Colonial Heights, VA

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Meet Roscoe! Roscoe was an owner surrender at no fault of his own, unfortunately his previous owner was unable to keep him due to living arrangements changed. Roscoe was surrendered with his Dad who we have him as a bonded pair with. They are not required to be adopted out together but if we could keep them together it would be great. Roscoe is more on the timid side, he would benefit to be in a home with another dog if not adopted out with his dad as he opens up more when he has another dog around. Roscoe loves going on walks and loves the water. He did live with kids and cats and did great with them. We had a generous person donate towards the care of Roscoe (Redbone coon hound mix, 40lbs a year old) and Hemi (Redbone Coon hound, 62lbs, just over a year and a half). They were both Neutered today, they received their rabies shot, and they are both heartworm negative. They went to Richmond Animal Richmond Animal League today for their care (Thank you RAL for taking great care of them) and the wonderful staff at RAL said they were both on their best behavior and just as sweet as ever. Hopefully this donation towards their vet care will help these 2 get adopted. They are both absolutely beautiful and sweet as can be. Must see in person. Big thank you to Salem's Light for covering the rest of the surgery fees. You guys are amazing
