Story
Panda is a lazy silly girl ! She was with me thru my cancer and laid with me every step of the way! I e had her since she was born in my back yard in 2018! She is very dear to my heart but due to recent events I unfortunately have to part ways with my dear sweet Panda bear! Please know she’s only used to women mostly because she’s only ever been with me and my son. She is weary of strangers and very protective of her people she is loyal just give her time to adjust she will warm up I promise give her grace she is scared of loud sounds as well! Thanks

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
Here’s a compassionate version you could use: George has been with our family for 13 years and has been an amazing dog. He’s always been well-behaved and potty trained, but due to old age, his bowel and bladder control has become inconsistent, and he now has occasional accidents. I work 12–15 hour shifts, and as much as I would love to be there to care for him, I unfortunately can’t provide the constant supervision he now needs. At this stage in his life, he needs frequent access to the outdoors to prevent accidents inside the house, and with my work schedule, I’m unable to give him the level of care and attention he deserves.

Story
I got Storm from the Virginia Peninsula Center. Storm is 9 months and she is very friendly with children, dogs, and cats. She is hyper due to being a pup and she is trained to use the bathroom outside. She loves walks and runs! She also enjoys pets. For o am looking for a person who will love her as much as I do and who also has time to give her what she needs like love, care, and affection. Unfortunately, I have a busy schedule and two young children so it is hard for me and it saddens me that I have to do this, but I want someone to give her better because she deserves the world! I would describe Storm as hyper and loving!

Story
This is blue. He’s a 7 year old Siberian husky. He is great with kids and other animals. He is trained and has his shot records up to date. He is so sweet and needs a new loving home because I move around too much with the military and it is not fair to blue.
