Nova

Husky

Female, Young

Franklin, VA

Size

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

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Nova is a 2 year old female husky that we acquired from a local breeder when she was 8 weeks old along with her sister Jasmine (also listed as they are a bonded pair). We would prefer to rehome them together. Nova is a sweetheart, and happily rolls over for belly rubs and snuggles every morning, and when we get home from work. Both are house broken, and were raised with cats and our young son with no issues. Nova prefers to be where her people are, and will stay by your feet or on the couch next to you if you let her. We are looking to rehome unfortunately as our work hours have drastically increased unplanned and we can no longer give them the exercise and attention they deserve. Nova knows “sit” and “down”, but will steal your food off the counter if you give her a chance. She is crate trained, and vocal like would be expected of a husky. We are happy to help support spaying costs when rehoming if the girls can stay together with a safe and loving home.

Story

Jasmine is a 2 year old female husky that we acquired from a local breeder when she was 8 weeks old along with her sister Nova (also listed as they are a bonded pair) We would prefer to rehome them together. Jasmine is a sweetheart, comes when called, likes to talk back like a typical husky, and loves to play outside! Both are house broken, and were raised with cats and our young son with no issues. Jasmine prefers to be where her people are, and will stay by your feet or on the couch next to you if you let her. We are looking to rehome unfortunately as our work hours have drastically increased unplanned and we can no longer give them the exercise and attention they deserve. Jasmine knows “sit” and “down” (and will begrudgingly listen!) and has been left alone in the house reliably for long periods without chewing up anything! We are happy to help support spaying costs when rehoming if the girls can stay together with a safe and loving home.

Story

Riley will be 4 on 12/25, about 55lbs, female basic shots and rabies are due in May 2026. She is house trained an inside dog, she does well with other dogs but would be better suited by herself, (very dominant). A one person dog, loves cuddling under the covers, & car riding. We can no longer keep her due to our busy work schedules, I hate leaving her in the kennel all day up to 10-12 hrs without any exercise or roam time throughout the day. She gets out of fence too and we’re in the city near a highway. She needs someone who will have time to spend with her and give her the love and attention she craves. She comes with kennel, leash & feeding bowls. She was originally rescued from a local animal shelter but they won’t take her back bc we’re out of their district. She is very playful and still has a lot of puppy in her she has been treat for heart worm prevention as well as taken barvecto. Serious inquiries only! Please contact me for further details.

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

Story

Hi there, I'm Vega, a 6-year-old, 70 pound, brindle and white boxer. I'm looking for a forever home with someone who can keep up with me and love me unconditionally. I'm an extremely loving, smart and adventurous boy, who enjoys playing, running, and exploring. I'm also very smart and eager to please, especially if you have some treats for me. I'm neutered, vaccinated, and heartworm negative, so I'm ready to go whenever you are. I have a ton of drive which makes me super fun to work with and my foster mom says I’d be amazing at dog sports of any kind because of how much I like to work. My foster mom can explain more but I need a firm owner who will work me and take me on adventures because I am no couch potato. I am dog selective needing slow intros to other dogs. I should not be around cats or other small animals because of my high prey drive. I do well with kids but best with older kids because of my size and energy. I can be crate reactive and have some barrier frustration, but I’ve been learning to improve my behavior here and am doing so much better. I also need more work on leash training, as I pull hard. Devices like gentle leaders may help me learn how to walk better on leash. I have a lot of love to give. I'm very passionate and loyal to anyone I bond with. I bond quickly and can’t wait to make friends with you! I love being petted and cuddled. I'm a relatively quiet pup, and I calm well when my exercise needs are met. I'm being fostered in Hampton Roads, VA but I can be transported out of state if you're the one for me. So, what do you say? Are you ready to meet your new best friend? I'm waiting for you. Fill out an application today and we will get the process started! *Must be 21 or older to apply.

Nishi

Pit Bull Terrier Labrador Retriever

Zuni, VA

Size

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

Details

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

Story

Hi, I'm Nishi, a handsome black, 60-pound, pit bull/labrador mix. I am a one-year-old pup who weighs 60 pounds. I have playful energy and a big heart to match. I'm looking for my forever home with someone who can take me on adventures and cuddle me at the end of the day. I do well with other dogs and may benefit best with a higher energy play buddy. I would also do great with a very active human buddy that can take me on walks, runs, hikes, etc. A home with older, teenage children is preferred as I can be a bit rambunctious. I wouldn’t want to knock down any small kiddos. Young and full of great energy, it is recommended that I go to someone with consistent and firm structure for me. I have not been cat tested but I can be if you’d like. I'm also smart and eager to learn new things. I know how to sit, stay, and come, and I'm working on other commands too. I'm potty, crate and leash trained, so I'm ready to go wherever you want to take me. I'm neutered and vaccinated. I am heartworm positive but receiving treatment. I am being fostered in Colonial Heights, VA but I can be transported out of state for the right home. If you're looking for a fun-loving and affectionate companion, I'm your guy. Fill out an application and my rescue will reach out to you. I can't wait to meet you!

Story

Hi there, I’m Emmie, a 4-year-old, 76-pound, white and black pit bull mix. I’m a laid-back and cuddly girl who loves to be with my people. I’m spayed, vaccinated, and heartworm negative. I’m a smart girl who is house and crate trained. I’m looking for a committed and understanding owner who can give me the time and training I need to overcome my insecurities. I’m a sweet and loyal companion who will make you happy and proud. I will do my best as an only pet, with no other dogs or cats, and with no children in the home. I am a laid-back girl who absolutely loves to relax and cuddle but is also always down for an adventure. I am satisfied just being with my people doing whatever the day brings and will adjust my energy level to match yours. While I am laid back, I need someone who is willing to set rules, provide boundaries, and give proper decompression time when first bringing me home. Giving me structure and guidance helps me feel more secure and will create trust with my new family. I’m currently being fostered in Hampton Roads, VA, but I can be transported to nearby states if you’re the right match for me. I’m looking for a loving and stable home where I can have fun and snuggle with my people. If you’re looking for a fun and faithful furry friend, I’m the one for you! Complete an application and my rescue will be in touch. *Must be 21 or older to apply.
