Story

Isaac is an 11-year-old, 7 lb. Yorkie fellow being fostered near Roanoke, VA Hi, friends! I’m Isaac, an approximately 11-year-old Yorkie gentleman, and I’m officially ready to find my forever home! I’m a sweet senior boy who enjoys the company of other small dogs and does well with children over age 5. I haven’t been around toddlers or cats, so I’m not sure what I think of them yet. I’m now up to date on my veterinary care and feeling so much better after being treated for a painful double ear infection. My bloodwork looks good, and I’m microchipped and ready to begin my next chapter! I love spending time outdoors with my person, going for car rides, and taking walks—I’m very good on a leash. I’ll potty outside, although I do occasionally have an accident indoors. I also enjoy my meals, treats, and relaxing in my crate, especially when the door is left open so I can come and go as I please. I’m not a full-time lap dog, but I will happily curl up on your lap for a cozy little nap. My ideal home would be with someone who is home much of the day and wants a loving, easygoing companion to share life with. If you have room in your heart and home for a handsome senior gentleman, please submit an adoption application for me. I can’t wait to meet my forever family!

Andre

Pit Bull Terrier

Male, 1 yr 1 mo

Roanoke, VA

Size

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

Details

Story

Andre is a handsome gray Pit Bull mix who is just 11 months old and searching for a loving forever home. This sweet young boy came to us underweight and malnourished, but thanks to proper care, nutritious meals, and lots of kindness, he has been steadily gaining weight and learning that life can be good. Despite his rough start, Andre has shown himself to be a resilient and deserving dog with so much potential. Andre can be a little nervous when meeting new people, especially men, and may need some time to feel comfortable in unfamiliar situations. He does best when people allow him to approach at his own pace and give him the chance to build trust. Once he realizes he's safe, his sweet personality begins to shine through, and he enjoys being around the people he knows and loves. Since he's been in a shelter most his life, he will benefit from continued training, socialization, and positive experiences as he grows into adulthood. Andre previously lived with other dogs and may do well with some canine companions. As with any dog, proper introductions are important to make sure everyone is a good match. Because he experienced food insecurity early in life, he can be a little protective of his meals and appreciates having his own space to eat. This is a common behavior in dogs who have known hunger, and Andre is learning that food is no longer something he has to worry about. As a young, active dog, Andre will thrive in a home that can provide regular exercise, mental enrichment, and plenty of opportunities to spend time with his family. He is looking for patient adopters who will help him continue building confidence and show him that the world can be a safe and happy place.
