Story
Howdy chums, it’s me, Laith! I am a short, fat Redbone Coonhound mix, who weighs about 55 pounds and I'm about 6-7 years old. Dangit, I’m ready for my forever home. After living in the shelter and in a foster home forever, I declare that it’s high time for me to curl up on my forever couch and chew on some of those tasty forever bones and toys. I’ve come a heck of a long way from my shelter days. My foster mom’s been showing me all kinds of house dog stuff and I’m proud to say that I’m not only house trained, but I’ve got great inside manners. I don’t crate all that well but friend, you don’t even really need to crate me; I mostly like to curl up and sleep while you’re gone. Now, I’ve gotta be honest- if you try and man handle me, I will be growly and grumpy (so please don’t pull me off your couch). However, if you got a treat and some kind words, I’ll do just about anything for you; all this simple hound needs is a little kindness and some bribery. After living in a great foster home with fenced yards and other dogs, I’m confident that I’d do best in a home with a fenced yard and another dog. My favorite things in the world are car rides and playing with other dogs. So if you’re looking for a copilot to keep that passenger seat toasty, buddy, you’re looking at me! A reduced adoption fee of $100 does apply for Laith, our seniors, special medical and behavioral needs dogs and other "slow to adopt" dogs! Augusta Dog Adoptions is an all- volunteer, foster- based rescue. We take applications online and are scheduling individual adoptions in the Waynesboro, VA area during the pandemic. A $175.00 adoption fee ($300 for puppies under 6 months old) helps us take care of all the dogs we rescue. All dogs are spayed/neutered, tested for heartworm and tick borne diseases (if old enough), microchipped, and vaccinated for rabies (if old enough), distemper/parvo and bordetella. They are also treated for internal and external parasites. Many dogs also receive extensive medical care such as dental work and major surgeries.

Story
TIME SENSITIVE! SPECIAL NEEDS! Trisha needs a home SOON! Remember Trisha? She came to us from a shelter a couple months ago. She was hit by a car about 6 months before being taken to the shelter but her owner didn't take her to the vet. We quickly learned that she is incontinent because the end of her spinal cord is severed. Trisha is happy, and playful and loves attention. She is not good with cats or any dog who seems dominant at all and may be most successful as an only pet. She loves people and would most likely be just fine with kids! Trisha would be happy and manageable in a home with a fenced yard for her to spend the day in. She could wear a diaper to come inside for family time and sleep in a crate at night. She will be more prone to urinary tract infections and will need regular medical care. We love Trisha and hope we can find someone else who will adore her and be able to manage her needs. Trisha has been spayed and vaccinated and we are happy to waive her adoption fee. Trisha is about 4 years old and weighs about 45 pounds. Apply NOW at www.augustadogadoptions.org. Trisha is located near Staunton,Va.

Story
Our sweet Cara came to us from a shelter that was just to busy and loud for Cara to thrive in. She is a middle aged gal who weighs 35pounds and is a bit shy and reserved by nature. Cara is looking for a quiet home with a family who is willing to give her time to fall in love with them! Cara’s foster mom calls her a pineapple- sweet on the inside but a bit prickly on the outside, especially until you earn her trust. Cara can be a very sweet and loyal companion, but is particular in the things she likes and doesn’t like. She has bitten before (did not break skin), so needs an experienced home that is ready and willing to do slow introductions and be careful. This has been successful in her foster home. For the above reasons, young children are likely not the best fit for Cara. She does love the pre-teens in her foster home so older, repectful children may be. She is dog selective so introductions with other dogs would also need to be slow. She was initially “too interested” in the resident cat, but has now become her protector, so she *could possibly* live successfully with cats. Cara's hobbies include enjoys chasing wild birds and balls! She is also house-trained and not destructive when left uncrated (but is crate trained). She would also be perfect for a retiree who is ready to kick back and relax! We adore Cara and know we can find her a family who will love her just as much! Is it you?

Story
I'm a redneck woman I ain't no high class broad I'm just a product of my raising I say, "hey y'all" and "yee-haw" - Gretchen Wilson "Redneck Woman" Meet our redneck woman, Sweet Tater aka Sweet Tayda when she's in the city! Tayda is a 10 year old beer slinging, foul mouthed country gal who weighs about 70 pounds and won't stop blasting the Gretchen Wilson tunes on her CD player. Foster moms about to take that away! Tayda found herself in a city shelter and just couldn't mold and be lady that adopters wanted her to be. She tried to eat their cats and even them if they tried to pry the deep fried oreo out of her mouth! Knowing that Augusta Dog Adoptions has a reputation of being just as wild and unchained as Tayda, they asked it we could help her right before they were about send her to meet her sweet, Lord Jesus. Amen. Since joining us, we've let Sweet Tayda be herself. She eats about anything she wants and gets stuffed toys to relive out her old hunting days tearing them to bits! And she keeps her Christmas lights on, on her front porch all year long and she knows every word to every Tanya Tucker song! Tayda is looking for a true hound lover who understands that she is what she is. You aren't going to train the naughty out of her and you aren't going to force her to being something she is not. What she is is funny, happy, friendly and glad to be alive! She's happy sleeping in her doghouse with a full belly but we have hope that we can find her a real home where is can be a part of a family! ... A family with no cats and no kids to steal her chicken nuggets. She'd love to be the only dog but has been able to tolerate another old hound who is more of a redneck that she is. That's Laith. And we'll be happy to send him with her! Keep hope alive! Homes for all bad hounds! Yeah! And Tayda says...So here's to all my sisters Out there keeping it country Let me get a big "hell yeah" From the redneck girls like me Hell yeah (Hell yeah) Augusta Dog Adoptions is a 501c3, foster- based rescue.
