Story

Finn has been a wonderful, laid back pup who loves walks, hikes, & laying around the house. He is about 7 years old and very calm natured. We adopted him Colorado and have owned him since 2019. We are not able to give him the life he deserves at this point in our lives and wanted to see if there is a better fit out there for him to live out the later years of his life. I am happy to give more information to an interested adopter.

Milo

Treeing Walker Coonhound German Shepherd Dog

Male, Young

Salem, VA

Size

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

Details

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

Story

Milo was born in May 2023 and is full of young-dog energy and personality! He’s fixed and ready to find his forever home. This sweet, goofy boy loves to play and absolutely adores his toys. If there’s a ball, rope, or squeaky toy around, he’s all in! He also loves to bark and will happily let you know what’s going on — he’d make a great little “alert system” for your home. Milo has been around kids, cats, and other dogs and has done well with them. He can be unsure around new animals and strangers at first, so slow introductions and a little patience will help him feel secure. Once he trusts you, he is incredibly loving and protective of his people. He is an indoor dog who loves being close to his family, but he definitely needs space outside to run and burn off his energy. A fenced yard or active family would be ideal. Milo would benefit from some continued training to help him be his very best self — he’s smart and young, so he has tons of potential!

Salem, VA

Size

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

Details

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

Story

We got Esther 2.5 years ago from the Roanoke SPCA. She’s an energetic dog that’s around 3 years old. She loves to play tug of war, chew on toys and run around. She’s allergic to chicken and grass that we know of and it causes skin irritation. She has a special hello kitty blanket that she prefers to be covered with to go to bed. She’s very parkour and catlike with wanting to lay on the back of furniture. She’s a great cuddle buddy, loves her naps and likes to give plenty of kisses.

Latte

Anatolian Shepherd

Female, 1 yr 1 mo

Roanoke, VA

Size

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

Details

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

Story

Latte is a SWEETHEART. She's super timid and submissive for a dog of her size, but once you get down to her level she'll reluctantly wander over and stay close. She plays with everyone no matter their size and is more "herself" outside. In the house she stays low and is very slow to explore new surroundings. Food is a good motivator to get her to wander away from the comfort of her door. She enjoys pets now but is still unsure about her situation and will regularly hang out in the safety of her kennel or in the door frame watching us from afar. We'll update this as we get to know her with more personality quirks and photos! Check back or reach out for more info!

Meet the lovely Sara, a sweet 1 year and 1 month old girl weighing in at 42 pounds of pure love! This beautiful Black Labrador Retriever and Border Collie mix has a heart that’s just waiting to be filled with affection. 🖤🤍 This shy girl is looking for a special someone who can shower her with the love and patience she deserves. Unfortunately, her past isn’t all sunshine and rainbows; she was surrendered by her owner, which has left her a bit timid. However, even with that past behind her she loves everyone and everything! Big dogs, small dogs, people, and cats she'll warm up to everyone when given the chance. 💕
