Story
We’ve had Brownie since he was just a few weeks old, and he is now 3 years old. He is very loving, energetic, and truly a big baby. He loves attention and especially enjoys getting scratched.Brownie has grown up in a home with family and does great with children — he’s been around my 1-year-old and is very gentle, though he sometimes likes to grab her toys to play with. He’s used to being around people often.This decision has been incredibly hard for me, as I truly see him as my first baby. Unfortunately, due to an upcoming move and expecting my second child, I’m no longer able to take him with me.I want nothing more than for Brownie to go to a loving home where he will be safe, well cared for, and receive the attention he deserves. I am willing to meet with potential adopters to make sure he finds the best possible fit.If you or someone you know can provide a caring home for Brownie, please reach out.

Story
Bohdie is truly one of a kind. He has brought so much joy into our home. He is sweet and just longs for attention and love. Bohdie is 7 years old and was adopted at a local adoption event. We had his DNA done and he is a true mix. Bohdie loves to go for walks (especially in the woods) and more than anything, bohdie loves being pet and close. Bohdie unfortunately has not taken well to having young kids in the home since having kids a few years ago. We recommend that he goes to a home with no young children or other pets due to his age. We want nothing but the best home for him, he is truly a great dog that deserves all the love he can get.

Story
We rescued Honey will we were living in CO. She was in a foster home that said she was a stray found in New Mexico. We fell in love with honey immediately. We have an older dog that never really got a long with dogs and then they just clicked. We moved to VA late 2024 and things changed. We lived with a third (male) dog and honey started getting territorial and going after our older dog (female). We have since left that environment and our two female dogs have been separated ever since. Honey is a great dog, she has fantastic recall and does very well off leash. She has received professional training and is incredibly intelligent. She is healthy and cuddly and a great companion. We never ever thought we would be in this situation but unfortunately honey’s demeanor has changed towards our 1yo daughter. This is the last thing we want to do but think it would be limiting a fulfilled life that honey should be living. We are looking for her forever home full of compassion and loving care.

Story
Bella is a 2022 born Husky with a full white coat. We are her second home but cannot keep her as we have a baby. She is good with dogs her size, but not small dogs or old dogs. She has attacked and bitten a small dog before. Bella loves walks and playing with her toys. She really enjoys interactive play with her rope toy. She also likes cuddling and would prefer to be on the sofa but we don’t let her. She knows how to sing if you howl with her. She knows how to sit and will come when you whistle. She does best if she has easy access to a fenced yard but prefers to do her business away from home on her walks. A close at hand dog park works too. She has a cage but prefers to sleep in the floor but goes there if told. Her new home would be best served with a fenced yard, older children or other similarly energetic dogs to play with, or someone willing to play tug of war. I walk her at least 3x daily.

Story
Meet Dolly! She is a 6 yr old Mini Aussie Doodle. My wife and I got her when she was a puppy and was great with other dogs, people, and kids for the first few years. Dolly traveled the US in an RV with my wife and I for roughly 18 months. We noticed that she became very defensive over mommy and daddy when we got back. Still very sweet but she does not play nicely with other dogs when we are around. Fast forward a couple of years and we had our son. Dolly has growled and nipped at him a few times. My son has sort of asked for it by grabbing her hair at times but the situation is concerning for us. We have a daughter coming in November so thats the main reason I’m here. There is still a ton of positive in her. She loves to hike the Appalachian Trail and swim in the Shenandoah. She is a lighting bolt and loves other adult strangers. Does not need a leash and hasn’t had any accidents in the house. It’s tough for me to write this, will not rehome her to just anybody.
