Story
Tommy born in Nov 13th 23 and we got him from a breeder that specifically breeds pure bred labs. I am looking for a family that will show him more attention and spend more time with him than we did, and this is the main reason. a family with other dogs would be great but not needed.Tommy is very social and loves to play with people and other pets. He loves to be around his family but at the same time can spend a lot of time alone in the crate(6-8 h)totally ok. The only issue he has is food aggression, when he is eating his kibble or any food he knows is his, and you talk to him or touch him he gets aggressive but at the same time you can feed him from your hand just fine. My family is unexperienced with this problem so we didn't work on it, but after checking with a few trainers they said it would be an easy fix but would require time, time that we don't have. But other than this issue I promise he is very friendly with other pets and people. he is very lovely pet that you will enjoy

Story
As discarded hunting dogs, life hasn’t been easy for Heidi and Chaplin, but things are finally beginning to look up! Following a lifetime of neglect, they have received some much needed TLC, and are ready for their forever home. We do believe Heidi and Chaplin to be a bonded pair, so would like to find them a wonderful home for retirement where they can live out their golden years TOGETHER. These days, relaxing and soaking up the love and pampering they deserved all along, is the only thing on their agenda. Both pups are easy going and enjoy time outdoors in a fenced yard for sniffs, as well as, indoor time for ample naps. They lived their entire lives outdoors, so we are working on house training and have already seen great progress within the first couple of weeks. In the meantime, neither minds wearing a diaper. They do not jump up on furniture and are well behaved when left alone. They do not require crates, but will go in one if needed. Since neither pup is particularly confident on stairs - Chaplin being especially unsteady on them - access to staircases should be limited in order to prevent injury. In their foster home, a baby gate does the trick. A couple steps such as with a low deck are okay. Heidi and Chaplin are both lovely, gentle souls, with sweet honey-colored eyes that will melt your heart. Both Heidi and Chaplin are believed to be approximately 10 years old. They each weigh approximately 30 lbs., are spayed/ neutered, heartworm negative, microchipped, and up-to-date on vaccinations. They are located in Newport News, Virginia.

Story
While our Linus may not be attached to a blanket, he sure is attached to his favorite toy. Say hi to Linus! He is a sweet boy who loves to play. He likes to chase birds when we take him on walks, but otherwise is a great walking buddy. We think he is house-trained and seems like he may get along with other dogs, but we have not had the opportunity to test this yet. Linus is treat-motivated and very smart. He has been easy to train here at Heritage.Linus would love to meet you!

Story
At 136 pounds, Gemma is one of our bigger dogs here at HHS, and she has very quickly become a staff favorite! She bonds tightly to those who spend the most time with her and tends to be just a little shy first meeting new people. She`s really come out of her shell in her time with us, though.Gemma seems to do well around other dogs and doesn`t seem to mind children either. She`s definitely not the type that wants to go for long jogs and would probably rather just hang out with her person in the air conditioning! Can you blame her?If you`re interested in adopting this pretty girl, please give us a call to set up an appointment so we can introduce you to your next family member!
