Story
Her name is Teemu, she is 10 years old but acts like a puppy. She's a total snugglebug and loves cheese. We got her from Lynchburg humane a few months ago and are about to have a medically needy baby and won't be able to take care of her anymore as the baby will be spending months in the NICU after surgery. We hope we can find a loving home for our girl that can love her and cherish her and give her the life she deserves. We have a bed for her and her rubber duckie as it is her favorite toy.

Story
Delilah is a wonderful dog, she does have some behavior problems like growling at people but she’s never attacked or bit anyone. She is house trained too. She is good with most dogs but I advise doing a meet and greet first. She needs some who is patient, gentle and experienced. I sadly can’t keep her due to renting

Mylo

Labrador Retriever Mutt

Lynchburg, VA
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Story
Mylo is an 11 year old Labrador Retriever mix. He is a very sweet, quiet, and generally well-behaved. He has past trauma and is timid at first, so it took some time for him to get comfortable. He would make a great pet for a family or anyone who is looking for a very faithful companion. I currently work very demanding hours and have been away from home for long stretches. He is very attached to his person, so he has been very stressed and is taking it out on my furniture and personal belongings. I believe that he would benefit from someone who either works from home or has a more set schedule. Otherwise, he is a very sweet boy who just wants to sit with his people in a sunny spot. He loves walks and playing with his toys. He does NOT like cats and sometimes gets testy with smaller dogs but loves making friends. Anyone interested who has other pets are free to connect with me about a meet and greet.
