Story
Meet Jester! This handsome hunk came in as a stray and was never claimed and is looking for a new home! We are estimating him to be a year old. We are looking for a breed specific rescue or very breed experienced adopter as he does have his ways. He is extremely sweet and will most definitely protect his people. He was evaluated by two trainers who saw a lot of potential in him. He loves his squeaky toys and loves to run around. He would do best in a home with much older kids. He has done well with submissive dogs, and he prefers the ladies but if you do have another dog meet and greets are required. If you are interested in Jester we are open Monday-Friday from 10am-3pm or you can call the shelter to schedule an appointment at 804-520-9397 ext.5

Story
Bindi is 48 lb female 15 month German shepherd mix. We adopted her in September 2025 from the SPCA. She has a beautiful brindle double coat. Like most German Shepherds they bind themselves to one of the family (wants to go with you everywhere). She is super smart and there isnt one puzzle out there she cat resolve quickly. After we got her home our 3 cats were not thrilled. Bindi has a serious prey drive. Cats, squirrels, birds, etc. We tried and tried to train her to leave the cats alone but she wont have it. We have cat doors, cat trees, etc. We also will be moving shortly and they wont let us bring her. We really want her to be rehomed to a loving home. A family that shows they really care and are not a poser trying to make money off us. There are a lot of items that will go the family whom adopts her. We have a ton of toys, treats, crate, crate bed, dog bed, harnesses, leashes, collars. NO JUDGEMENT POSTS PLEASE.

Story
Allow us to introduce you to Aerie! Isn't she such a beautiful lady? Aerie is around 10 months old, so she still has plenty of puppy energy. She'd love to go to a home with plenty of toys and lots of playtime! Aerie is already potty trained, so she's a very smart girl! She'll just need a little bit of help with the rest of her puppy training. She was really excited to play with the dog she met here at the shelter, so she'd probably LOVE having another dog to spend time with! Aerie is a spayed female German Shepherd mix weighing around 54lbs.If you are interested in meeting this pet, please call us at (804) 748-1683, option "2", to schedule an appointment. Our hours are Monday - Friday, 10:30 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. and Saturday, 10:30 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: Brown Weight: 54 Age: 0yrs 10mths 1wks
