Besos is a giant couch potato w occasional burst of pitty power. She loves to talk & needs a home where she is the ONLY pet. She has an extremely high prey drive requiring a firm handler. She does not know her own strength & during her bursts of enegry can become a pitty dozer, knocking over objects and small hoomans. She is loving, cuddly, and wants to be in your lap all the time. She does have separation anxiety and requires crating when left alone, or she can be quite distructive. She is fixed, has never been bred or had puppies. She was abandoned by her owner after we agree to pet sit for a weekend & we have had her since.She is micro chipped and will gladly transfer that information to the new owner. She is in good health, she does need a checkup and current shots. Her adoption would include a crate with bedding, attached water bowl and food dish, collar, harness and lead. She primarly eats dry kibble, but CAN NOT have a gravity feeder, or she will make herself sick,& loves treats

She also loves be next to you wherever you may go.Remi deserves to be in a good home with an owner who will give her the love and affection she deserves

Story

As discarded hunting dogs, life hasn’t been easy for Heidi and Chaplin, but things are finally looking up! Following a lifetime of neglect, they have received some much needed TLC and are ready for their forever home. We do believe they’re a bonded pair and are seeking a loving home where they can enjoy their golden years TOGETHER. These days their agenda is simple: relax, nap, and soak up the affection they’ve always deserved. Both pups are easy going, gentle souls who enjoy time outdoors in a fenced yard for sniffs, as well as indoor time for ample naps. These sweet pups are looking for a loving home that can offer a little extra understanding. They both experience some incontinence and take medication to help, but do have accidents. With patience, routine, and simple management tools like frequent potty breaks and washable diapers, they do well and continue to live happy, comfortable lives. They do not jump on furniture and are well behaved when left alone. Their foster home does not crate them. Chaplin can be a bit unsteady on stairs, so it’s best to monitor his access, especially if they aren’t carpeted which helps with his grip. Their DNA age tests show Chaplin is almost 10, and Heidi is about 8 months younger (as of 1/20/26) - a couple of years younger than first thought. Chaplin weighs 38 lbs., and Heidi 35 lbs. Both are spayed/neutered, heartworm negative, microchipped, and up‑to‑date on vaccinations. Chaplin has a permanent head tilt and slight gait unsteadiness, likely due to years of untreated ear infections. The head tilt doesn’t slow him down and a veterinarian, while in Homes Fur Hounds’ care, advised that with prompt treatment of any future ear infections, the neurological issue should not progress. He also has some scarring (“cauliflower ear”). His ears are comfortable now, but they should be handled gently, especially during weekly cleanings. Lately, we’ve noticed he may not hear as well as he used to, but his nose is as sharp as ever—he still shows up in the kitchen right on time for meals. If Heidi and Chaplin sound like your perfect pair, please apply at: www.homesfurhounds.org.

Story

Meet Pumpkin & Ginger – Bonded Shih Tzu Sisters Seeking Their Forever Home Pumpkin (black, 9 years old) and Ginger (pewter, 8 years old) are tiny but mighty senior Shih Tzu's, each weighing around 10 lbs. These inseparable sisters are looking for a loving home where they can stay together. We welcomed Pumpkin and Ginger a few months ago after their previous owners made the difficult decision to surrender them. Both girls have chronic skin and ear issues, which are common in Shih Tzu's. Thanks to the great care from our vet and foster family, they’re doing much better—but they’ll need ongoing support to stay comfortable and healthy. Their care routine includes: • Weekly medicated baths (can be done at home). Sometimes 2x a week if there is a flare-up • Regular use of topical medicated sprays/wipes • Occasional ear cleanings • Consistent grooming and haircuts • Special diet/supplements Ginger is fairly cooperative with her care, while Pumpkin has a bit more sass—but both are sweet and affectionate. They both had recent dental work, are spayed, up to date on vaccines and preventatives, and microchipped. They’re great eaters but require a special, chicken-free diet to help manage their skin from the inside out. Their meals include variations of fish-based kibble, peas, carrots, green beans, ground beef, Greek yogurt, omega oil, and probiotics—easy to prepare and not prescription-based. These ladies love (and sometimes demand) the royal treatment: lap time, naps, gentle brushing, sunbathing, short strolls, and lounging on soft beds. They’re mostly housebroken, crate-trained, travel well in the car, show no interest in the resident kitty, get along with other calm dogs, sleep well, and can be trusted alone at home. They will do best in a patient, quiet home with limited stairs, a small fenced yard (both prefer to potty off the leash), and a regular routine. Because of their size and special needs, small children and energetic dogs may not be the best fit in their new home. The cutest thing about them is that they both have an underbite and stick their tongues out. If you’re ready to open your heart and home to two loving, low-key companions who thrive on affection and routine, Pumpkin and Ginger would love to meet you.

Squiggy

Beagle

Male, 2 yrs 3 mos

Williamsburg, VA

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

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

Story

Squiggy is a lovable little 2-year old beagle who wants to be loved. He wants to be with you wherever you are. He warmed up to his foster parents pretty quickly, and is warming up to the other foster dog in the home. Once he gets to know you his tail wags non-stop. He has lived with other dogs and got along with them, but he is a little jealous of the other foster dog in his new home, especially if he is on the couch with his foster mom and the dog approaches, but he is getting better. They do sleep together now and he is starting to play with her. Squiggy was a hunting dog who probably was not a good hunter. He is not used to loud noises like traffic, garbage trucks, construction, etc. He does OK on the leash but is a little fearful of being outside because of the noises so he needs secure leashing. He isn't 100% housebroken yet, partly due to his fear of the noises outside, but he can go overnight or for hours without a bathroom break. But he will go out to do his business when he is ready. So far only one accident. Squiggy gained a lot of weight at the shelter, so he will need to lose close to 10 pounds. We have started working with him but whoever adopts him will need to continue to work on the weight loss. He is healthy, vaccinated, and HW negative. Surprisingly, not a fast eater and takes a while to start and finish eating, although he will whine and growl a little if the other foster dog approaches him while he is eating. He will just need time to get used to being a city pet. He will be a great pet for someone he can give all his love to. For an application go to www.homesfurhounds.org
