Story

Lady needs a good amount of daily exercise. She loves her toys and her treats. She would be good with children who are bigger than her since she is a puppy and she likes to jump and play. She would also be good with other animals that have good energy like her because she does like to play a lot. She is almost fully potty trained, just a couple accidents here and there.

Salem, VA

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

Details

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

Story

Maggie is a ~10year old yorkie looking for a forever home. She is very happy, loving, and calm. She would do best in a home with another dog her size. She loves to be outside with her human and other dogs in the home. She will potty outside if you take her but does not ask to go outside. She has no teeth and has a very sensitive stomach. She is on prescription dog food in order to keep her GI in good health. Her food is wet so it is easy for her to eat. But she prefers to be spoon fed. She loves to sleep in bed with her human and will sleep all night. She does not play with toys or balls and prefers to snuggle with her human while watching TV. She is the best lap dog and loves to be anywhere her favorite human is. She is somewhat scared of many sounds and/or activities. So introducing her slowly to new things is essential so she wll not become fearful. Maggie would do best with a quiet and calm or retired family.

Baxter

Mixed Breed (Medium)

Male, Young

Salem, VA

Size

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

Details

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

Story

Baxter is a 2 year old mix of everything at 62lbs. We adopted him from our local animal shelter as a puppy. We knew he was a handful from the very beginning. We have had many professional dog training sessions throughout the first year of ownership. He is a very smart dog but needs consistency from his leaders. He would be best in a home without children as this is where the inconsistency in his boundaries can arise and this is the main reason we have decided to rehome him. Also, he has a high prey drive and should not be in a home with cats. He will chase them. He doesn't mean any harm; he just wants to play. He is house trained, crate trained, leash walks well, and knows all basic dog obedience: sit, place, down, come (most of the time in the house, and does it sometimes outside.) He loves treats, bones to chew on, and squeaky toys. He does well with car rides (we use a leash seatbelt) and enjoys a day here and there at doggie daycare. He will thrive in the right environment.

Story

Doc is a purebred Chocolate lab. We got him at 7 weeks old. He is now 4 years old. He is house-trained. He knows basic commands: sit, stay, lay down. He loves fetching his balls and loves loves water. We have loved him. He does not get along with our cats and has gone after them. He needs to be in a home with no cats. He has been raised with a German Shepherd and a Belgian Malinois. He does resource guarding, so we feed our dogs separately from the cats. He is a great dog. We are just unable to continue to have him around our cats. Please feel free to message me with additional questions.

Roscoe was adopted from a shelter at 13 weeks old. He is 3 years old DOB: 2/6/22 He current weighs nearly 80 lbs. He is a fun to be around ,cute and affectionate dog. He loves to go where you go and whatever room you are in He will be too. He's smart and knows lots of tricks. He loves going on walks, the dog park, and car rides. He is housebroken and doesn't have to be crated when we are gone but will go in the crate if asked to, He is an eager to please and protective dog. He will stand between you and danger every time. Although we don't have small children. He has a sweet and contagious upbeat personality. We recently had an isolated issue where he bit someone working on our front porch. He needs training in how and when to protect the family as it was obvious he thought that was what he was doing. This is our first dog and we do not have a fence and due to the bite incident would like to rehouse him with a more experienced dog owner who can continue his training.
