Story
Her name is Blue! She is around 10-12 years old. She was a breeder dog at a puppy mill and thankfully she was rescued and brought to us! She has been with us for around 7 years ish. She has brought us great joy over the years! She is loving, funny, and a very layback dog! She prefers to be outside sunbathing or cuddling with you! Unfortunately we have to rehome her due to me having Postpartum Depression.. I am no longer able to take care of her or her sister Sweetie. My mental health is not doing well.. with having to take care of them and my newborn baby. So unfortunately we are forced to find them another home.. We have been trying to rehome her alongside with our other dog Sweetie.. I feel like it’ll be an easier transition for the both of them if they’re together.. please help us, we just want them to live out their lives in peace and with love and we want them to go to a loving home..

Story
This is Sweetie! She is around 5 years old! She’s super energetic and has lots of love to give! She loves balls that have a squeaky toy inside of it! She is a rescue, our friend found her on the street and she then became apart of our family! She loves snuggling right up close to you. When she’s excited (and you have carpet or rugs) she tends to army crawl around and it’s hilarious! She doesn’t care for loud pitch noises either. Unfortunately we have to rehome her due to me having Postpartum Depression.. I am no longer able to take care of her or her sister Blue. My mental health is not doing well.. with having to take care of them and my newborn baby. So unfortunately we are forced to find them another home. We have been trying to rehome her alongside with our other dog Blue.. I feel like it’ll be an easier transition for the both of them if they’re together.. please help us, we just want them to live out their lives in peace and with love and we want them to go to a loving home

Story
Hi, I'm Blue, a handsome blue and white pit bull who is looking for my forever home. I'm about 70 pounds, neutered, vaccinated, and heartworm negative. I'm also house, crate, and leash trained, but I could use some more practice on the leash. I'm a loyal, playful, and affectionate boy who loves to cuddle and give kisses. I'm very smart and eager to please, and I enjoy learning new tricks and playing with toys. I have a good energy and gusto, so I need a home where I can get exercise and mental stimulation. I'm good with older children who can handle my size and strength, but I'm not a fan of small kids who might pull my ears or tail. I'm dog selective, which means I don't get along with every dog I meet. I need a proper introduction and a compatible match or to be the only dog in the home. I am not good with cats at all. I'm currently being fostered in Hampton, VA, but I can travel to another state for the right home. I'm looking for a responsible and committed owner who can provide me with a loving and secure environment. You must be 21 or older to apply. If you think you are the one for me, please fill out an application and let's meet. I promise to be your best friend and faithful companion for life.

Story
Hi there! My name is Gunner, and I’m a 45-pound hound mix with a big heart and a love for life’s simple joys. I’m laid-back by nature, but I light up when it’s playtime. Toys are my jam—ropes, frisbees, tug-of-war—you name it! I’m also an expert squeaker hunter (though fair warning, once the squeaker’s out, I lose interest in the toy). I really like kids! I will fill your day with plenty of love and affection. I’ve got so much potential just waiting to shine, and all I need is a home where I can be myself—a happy, carefree dog. I’m a smart boy, too! I walk like a champ on leash, and I even follow off-leash pretty well. I am starting to lose my hearing so I'd need to be careful if allowed off leash as I may not hear you call me back. I’m both crate and house-trained, so you don’t have to worry about me learning the ropes. I am not good with other dogs as I don’t like to share my toys, food or water with them. Don’t worry, I’m totally comfortable with people around me while I eat and play. I’m neutered, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative, and microchipped. I’m currently staying in a foster home in Hampton, Virginia, but I can travel out of state for the right family (a transport fee applies). If you think I’d be a great fit for your home, please complete an adoption application—I can’t wait to meet you!

Story
Hi, I’m Jetta, a gorgeous and sassy pit bull mix. Do you like my ears? I like to wear one up and the other down. It’s just my style! I’m 45 pounds and black and white in color. I’m looking for my forever home where I can be your loyal and fun companion. I’m a vivacious and playful girl who has good energy and loves going on runs, long hikes, and is always ready for the next adventure. I’m house trained, crate trained, and leash trained. I’m spayed, vaccinated, and heartworm negative, so I’m healthy and happy. I’m great with humans of all ages, but I prefer to be the only dog in the home so that all the attention is on me. I love to be spoiled rotten and constantly showered with affection. I’m a special girl who has a lot of sass inside my compact little body. I’m happy doing whatever my humans are doing and always want to be a part of the action. I have a strong prey drive, so no small animals for me and a 6 ft fence or apartment life is a must. I’m a wonderful dog who is one of the most loving dogs you will ever meet. I am ready for a home of my own where I can be everything to my new family. I’m currently being fostered in Hampton Roads, VA but can be transported out of state for the right home. If you’re looking for a loyal and fun companion, I’m your girl. Please fill out an application and my rescue will be in touch. I can’t wait to meet you!
