Story

Harley anne is an extremely sweet girl- we rescued her from dog fighting when she was younger. She is amazing with all humans including kids and babies, but is very dog selective. We would like her new home to be experienced to help give her the attention and activity she needs. She is a fiddler and will take up the whole bed if you let her. We are so sad to be rehoming her and need her to go to a family that will love her as much as we do.

Story

Batman is a 8 year old, sweet dog. He loves people, cuddles, and attention. He was the runt of the litter, so he is not as big as his siblings. We are looking for a home where he can continue to be loved and cares for. Ideally, it would be a home where he would get lots of cuddles, walks, and attention. Although he is good with kids, he gets too excited when meeting new people so little kids tend to get pushed over. He has never snapped at anyone, but he has licked people silly.

Story

Help me, my mom and dad broke up after many years. My dad goes on deployments and is getting g ready to leave again. He does not want me to go to shelter Mufassa aka Moomoo, has all of the love to give and would be ideal for someone who works from home and does not have small children or younger children. He will steal your treats, the warm spot on the sofa and your heart. He really is a very good boy but unfortunately our children are very much so too much for him, and he is very anxious about being left at home for anything past 2 hours. Mufassa would.be best in a only.pet home I am getting fixed at the End of Apr.

Story

Knox is the sweetest little boy you will ever meet! He had his hind leg amputated at 6 months old but that has not slowed him down at all! He's very energetic, happy, loving and loyal. Knox will probably be just fine with cats but it's unknown. He loves to play with his toys and cuddle with you as much as you'll let him. We want to make sure he goes to a loving home. He's extremely smart and doesn't bark a lot. Knox is perfectly healthy and doesn't require any special care regarding his missing limb. It's breaking my heart that I can't keep him but as long as I know that he's in a loving forever home, I'll be happy!

Chesapeake, VA

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

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

Story

His name is Ollie, and he is a Maltipoo that was born April 2017. He is a lovable little pooch that loves to cuddle, be pet, talked to, and go for walks. He was originally adopted as a therapy pet for my son, but he ultimately moved away. His only medical issue is Addison's, which is treated daily with a liquid med in a Pill Pocket and one injection each month. My life situation has changed, and as a result, I cannot viably keep him. He is good with children and other dogs, and has never bit anyone. He would be most suited to live with an older person who lives alone or with other dogs and can give him the attention that he craves.
