Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Dmitri – Still Waiting for His Person  Dmitri is a 1-year-old Hound/Shepherd mix who has been waiting at the shelter since November. Dmitri is still here—wagging his tail, greeting visitors, and hoping today is the day someone chooses him. He is neutered, vaccinated, and ready to go home. Dmitri is an active  high-energy boy, and loves playtime with other dogs. He and his brother Ivan have so much fun with “fetch,” and know how to engage other dogs in play, offering puppy playbows as invitation. Dmitri would make an excellent hiking or adventure partner —young, healthy, and full of life! Dmitri just needs a chance to show you how awesome he is!   Apply to adopt here: https://www.friendsofcampbellcounty.org/info/adoption     PLEASE NOTE: This pet has been posted by Friends of Campbell County Animal Control, Rustburg, VA.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.This boy and his identical twin brother Dmitri were found by a resident in our county and brought to the shelter for safety. The boys are very healthy, very well socialized, and lack only leash skills to be perfectly adapted. They are anxious to make friends with new people, and are always happy to have attention. We think they will be fine with other dogs, and they really like one another!      PLEASE NOTE: This pet has been posted by Friends of Campbell County Animal Control, Rustburg, VA.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Brody is doing wonderfully in his foster home, which includes one cat and one dog. In just 24 hours, he’s shown himself to be confident, adaptable, and calm. He rides well in the car, walks nicely on leash, and handles toys gently. Brody has shown no reactivity to passing vehicles and only minimal interest in cats or other dogs. While he’ll continue to be assessed, he’s already proving to be a well-mannered, family-friendly shepherd.Brody was brought to us by a family who had him for only a couple weeks,  and realized they had made a big mistake, getting a big dog that needed exercise at their age. Brody was in another home before that, and we don’t know what his history was prior, but someone has loved him, someone spent some time, teaching him about house training, and someone had done a little leash work with him. He knows how to sit using voice commands and a hand command. He is not a pushy dog, but rather submissive. He is on the smaller side, and we are guessing he was from a backyard breeder. Regardless , he has a wonderful personality, is friendly with every human he has met, and we would feel very comfortable, placing him in a home with other dogs who are also friendly. We were told he has interest in cats, and we take that to me that he would probably chase a cat. As far as children, we don’t know what his exposure has been to children, and for dogs where we have no history, we recommend children over the age of six or seven, who are dog savvy, and no not to run, grab, or sit on dogs. Does it sound like he might be a good match for you? What else can we tell you? He is extremely gentle, and if you touch the toy he drops it immediately no tug of war.  he also drops the ball at your feet when playing fetch. he’s been a delight to have around PLEASE NOTE: This pet has been posted by Friends of Campbell County Animal Control, Rustburg, VA.

Story
✨ Meet Shadow ✨ Shadow is a 2-year-old German Shepherd mix who’s quickly stolen the hearts of everyone he meets! He’s a loving, playful, and social guy who makes friends easily and is always up for some fun. Sadly, Shadow’s had a couple of rough starts and has been let down twice before by inexperienced owners. But since coming into foster care, we’ve learned just how wonderful he really is. He’s active, energetic, and eager to please — the kind of dog who thrives with someone who understands the shepherd spirit. Anyone with breed experience will find him an easy, joyful companion. Shadow isn’t a fan of cats (he thinks they’re for chasing!) and would do best in a home without them, and small dogs are a no go as well. He much prefers the company of female dogs if he had to choose. Now, Shadow’s ready for his next adventure — and this time, it needs to be forever. If you think you might be his person, please fill out an adoption application to meet this amazing boy. ❤️

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Jetta! Jetta is a bright, highly trainable young dog who is eager to learn and loves having a canine companion. She and her sister, Lady, came from an unexpected litter. A year later, they sadly found themselves homeless. Lady has already found her forever home, and now it’s Jetta’s turn. We do believe she needs a companion playmate. Jetta has lived comfortably with three other dogs and small children, showing that she thrives in a family environment. With her breed mix, she’ll do best in an active home where she can enjoy plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. A fenced-in yard or an electric fence for supervised playtime would be ideal—she did very well with an electric fence in her former home. Jetta is housebroken when allowed indoors. She can be a little hesitant about car rides at first, but once she’s in, she rides along just fine. Jetta has not been raised around small animals or cats and tends to chase them outside, so a cat-free home is best. She was a family favorite at Pupapalooze and was gentle with children from start to finish. Jetta is waiting for a family who will give her the love, structure, and activity she deserves.
