Story
Looking to Rehome a Doberman Mix Lyla is a 4-year-old Doberman mix with a sweet personality. She is fun and goofy during playtime and enjoys walks and running around. She is house-trained but follows a schedule, so a home with a backyard is preferred. Lyla is up to date on all vaccinations (paperwork available from her previous owner). She would do best in a home that can provide her with plenty of playtime and space to run. When she plays, she may make growling noises, but this is part of her play behavior and not aggression. Her previous owner shared that she does best as the only dog in the home. On walks, she may bark at people out of curiosity, not aggression. We want to ensure Lyla goes to a safe and loving home! Please message me if you are seriously interested and can provide a responsible, caring environment for her.

Story
Chrissy is very energetic and friendly. She is an excellent lap dog and likes to sleep with you. She is house broken as well as pee pad trained. Her only issue is she has a medical issue that makes her leak when she relaxes. Her ureter is bent and as she relaxes it relaxes and leaks. She wears diapers to keep her from leaking in the house. I have plenty diapers as well as washable pee pads. She loves to be outside. Her owner passed away leaving her with me and I am allergic to her otherwise I would keep her myself.

Mocha

Husky American Pit Bull Terrier

Female, Young
Lynchburg, 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, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Mocha is friendly, highly intelligent, energetic, and adventurous. Her favorite activities are playing with other dogs, running, and exploring. She also loves plopping down on top of people for scratches! We adopted her from a shelter which she was briefly at after one owner previously. We have one small, older dog who tolerates her, and two cats that she loves to watch and poke at. While we hate to give her up, we feel she deserves a home where she can run freely. She needs either a lot of land, a yard with other dogs her size she can play with, or people who live extremely active and adventurous outdoor lifestyles for the husky in her. Mocha is an escape artist when bored, able to clear anything up to 5.5 feet, with a high prey drive. However, she is completely off leash trained with an e-collar! We will also send her with a GPS virtual fence collar, so no fence is entirely doable!

Mylo

Labrador Retriever Mutt

Lynchburg, VA

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. 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.
