Chico's owner passed away recently. He had been with him from a puppy. He is probably at least ten years old. We have several dogs and Chico is so small he can't hold his own. He is not willing to share his food, but otherwise he is not agressive.

Kai Dog

Male, 8 yrs 10 mos

Zuni, VA

Size

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

Details

Good with kids, Not good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

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 also 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 have not been cat tested, but I can be if you are interested in me. 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.

Charlie

Mixed Breed (Small)

Male, 10 mos

Zuni, VA

Size

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

Details

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

Story

Hey there, I’m Charlie—a 6-month-old black Lab mix with a goofy grin and a heart full of sunshine. I weigh 35 pounds, I’m neutered, vaccinated, and heartworm negative. I’m a medium-sized guy who’s just about done growing, and yes, I’m easy to scoop up if needed. I’ve got that classic Labrador personality—playful, sweet, and always up for a splash. I love water, walks, and watching TV with my people. After a good romp, you’ll find me belly-up, snoozing like a champ. I picked up house training quickly and do great with a consistent schedule. I sleep in the bedroom at night, usually at the foot of the bed, but I’m crate trained and totally fine going back to it if needed. I get along with everyone—big dogs, little dogs, cats—and I know how to adjust my play style depending on who I’m with. I haven’t met any kids yet, but I’m gentle and kind, so I think I’d be a great fit. I’m about 90% trained and just need to learn your house rules. I’m easygoing, food-loving, and full of charm. I’m in Myrtle Beach, SC, but I can be transported to the right home (transport fees may apply). If you’re looking for a playful, gentle buddy who’ll keep you laughing and snuggling, I’m ready to be your best friend.

Jetta

American Pit Bull Terrier

Female, 12 yrs

Zuni, VA

Size

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

Details

Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

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!

Gunner

Kai Dog

Male, 9 yrs 7 mos

Zuni, VA

Size

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

Details

Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

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. Plus, 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!

Mona Lisa

Jack Russell Terrier

Female, 2 yrs 6 mos

Zuni, VA

Size

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

Details

Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Hi, I’m Mona—and yes, I’ve been told I have a smile that could rival the famous painting. But unlike my namesake, there’s nothing mysterious about me: I’m an open book of love, loyalty, and a little bit of mischief. At just 2 years old, I’m a Jack Russell Terrier mix with a heart that beats for my people. I’m what they call a “Velcro dog”—where you go, I go. Whether it’s a walk around the block (which I love!) or just lounging nearby, I’m happiest when I’m close. I weigh in at a sturdy 34 pounds, and I’m spayed, vaccinated, and ready to find my forever home. I do best with older kids who understand that I like my space respected sometimes. Other dogs? Not really my scene—unless they’re calm, older, and don’t mind my independent streak. I’ve got a playful side too, and every now and then I’ll sneak off with one of the kids’ toys (oops!). So having some chew toys of my own is a must—I promise I’ll put them to good use. I’m currently in Charlotte, NC but don’t let distance stop you. For the right home, I can be transported—just keep in mind there may be a transport fee if volunteer transport cannot be found. If you’re looking for a loyal companion with a charming grin and a heart full of devotion, I might just be your Mona. Let’s make some magic together.
