Story
I got Ro-Nan for emotional support as a single-bachelor after my mom passed from Cancer. His name is a combination of my favorite book in the Bible, Romans, and my mom's name, Nan. Pronounced Ro-nin, he answers to that, and Roro. I just had a baby daughter and adopted an 8 and 6 year old, and Ro has not adjusted well to the change. He will make an excellent addition to any home that has older children and attentive and loving caregivers. He is high energy and extremely loyal and intelligent. Ro is crate and house trained. He has been spending more time in the crate since the baby was born, so increasing time at home in hour outside the crate in hour increments would help him remember his home-alone skills more smoothly.

Hi, my name is Zena!I am a 2-year-old female brindle bully mix looking for my perfect forever home. I am spayed, up to date on my shots, house trained, and I know my basic commands.I am a very sweet, loving, energetic girl who loves being around people. I enjoy cuddles, playtime, treats, and lots of attention. I am both food motivated and attention motivated, so I love learning new things and making my people happy.I would be a great companion for someone who wants a loyal, affectionate best friend with a fun personality and lots of love to give. I would do best in a home that can give me exercise, structure, patience, and plenty of love.If you’re looking for a sweet girl to love you with her whole heart, I might be the one for you.

Story
Reyna is only 7 months old about to be 8 months on the 19th. She is deaf and is not very responsive to words but vibrations do get her attention. She is very playful but is very nippy when it comes to playing. She does have mild food aggression when she finds food she will try her best to keep it and stay away from you but may bite if your hands are in close contact with her face. She definitely needs lots of time and love, and would benefit from being trained. She's a lot of work but still a great puppy. Would prefer someone in the Newport News and Hampton Va area.If you are interested you can contact me at 757-782-0763

Needs experienced adopter, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
My dog is a lovable Shih Tzu looking for a new forever home. This decision has been very difficult, and my goal is to find a family that will provide the love, attention, and stability he deserves. He is affectionate, loyal, and enjoys being around people. He loves cuddles, relaxing with his family, and being part of daily activities. He has brought so much joy to our home and would do best with someone who has the time and commitment to continue giving him the care and companionship he needs. I am looking for a home where he will be treated as a member of the family, receive regular veterinary care, and have a safe, loving environment. I want to ensure he is placed with someone who understands the responsibility of pet ownership and can provide him with a lifetime of love.

Story
I'm not selling my pet, I would rather have a good family take him. He means too much to me, to be put up for a price. But there's a few things you should know. My dog is a Chinese Shar-Pei and Pug mix. I’ve had him since he was six months old in 2020, and he is very special to us he was the only puppy out of ten to survive his litter. Recently, he developed a lump, and the vet confirmed it is a tumor. While the exact severity is unknown because we haven't been able to afford the further testing, the vet gave us an estimate of $1,500 to surgically remove it. Despite the diagnosis, he is a chunky, happy boy who is completely full of life. He runs, jumps, and shows absolutely no signs of pain or exhaustion (other than getting a bit hot in this summer weather). Right now, my family is going through an incredibly difficult time. Our son is turning two and recently had heart surgery. Between the medical costs and the intensive time management required to care for our son, I simply cannot

Story
I rescued Charlie and Willow from a hoarder house in Vegas when they were 6 months old. They are 9 years old now and they are the sweetest most loving dogs ever. This is the hardest thing I will have ever had to do but due to my health, I can’t care for them anymore. They are truly loved by anyone they’ve ever met. They’re always the favorite dogs at any boarding I’ve ever had to take them. I am looking for someone who will treat them like their children.
