Story
Athena came into our home in March of this year and she has been very lovable and energetic! She is only 8 months old so she still has puppy energy and does playful biting, but she’s never been aggressive with anyone. We are rehoming her due to some stuff in our personal life and it’s hard to take care of her because of it. She has all of her shot and records, as well as her bed, crate, food and water bowls, and toys galore! If you would like to meet her you are welcome to come and do a visit!

Story
We got Bella when she was about 6 months old. Right away she was a sort of the family. She loves being around people and giving all the kisses she can. She loves snuggling anytime she can she’ll “sneak” on the couch and get as close as possible to you. She truly is an incredible dog. She would best with someone that either works at home or is retired that can give her all sorts of attention. She is crate trained and knows it as her bed. We’re looking for a good home for her that will love her with all the love she deserves,

Story
Bella is a beautiful 6-year-old long haired German Shepherd. She’s an intelligent, active girl who would be a wonderful companion for someone who enjoys an active lifestyle and wants a dog who can keep up. Bella is smart, attentive, and a great listener. She loves having something to keep her mind busy and would thrive with someone who enjoys taking her on walks, giving her enrichment activities, and keeping her engaged. She’s always ready for her next adventure! When it’s playtime, Bella especially loves toys—squeaky toys are her absolute favorite! She also enjoys chewing on bones as a special treat. And when Bella gets really excited, she has the cutest habit: she spins in circles! Bella is kennel trained and does not have separation anxiety. She does well with other dogs, cats, and kids. Bella is looking for someone who will give her the exercise, mental stimulation, love, and companionship she deserves.

Story
Luke came from a rural shelter where he was surrendered.  He is 8 yrs old and has been chained most of his life- he has a permanent bald ring around his neck from the chain.  Despite that, he is a sweet boy who is learning to be an inside dog.  He is learning to calm himself by going into his crate when he feels overwhelmed.  He has taken a great liking to his foster dad and will get into his lap to calm himself.  Luke will be starting heart worm treatment soon and will be available at the end of the treatment.  He needs a 6 ft privacy fenced and a family with older respectful kids as he can be too much for little ones when he gets the zoomies.  We don't think he would be good with cats because he shows too much interest in those outside.  He needs a family who is willing to be patient with him and show him what a loving family is and one who will always take good care of him.  If you are looking for a sweet boy who desperately wants to be part of someone's family and are willing to be patient and love him unconditionally, please contact Rainbow Rescue at :  rainbowanimalrescueva@gmail.com or call at 757-472-1583August 26, 2026, 12:54 am

Story
Izzie loves playing frisbee more than anything and she’s incredibly good at performing crazy aerial maneuvers to catch it. Her next favorite thing is swimming in the James River and fetching sticks out in the water. Oh and digging holes in the sand. She has the sweetest temperament but isn’t really bothered about playing with other dogs, though she tolerates them well. She LOVES to chew so having bones, Kongs, and large rope toys for her is a must. She’s never chewed shoes or furniture but man can she remove squeakers from toys with surgical precision.Izzie loves walks, hikes, swims, runs, and anything that a typical active person enjoys. She will chase small animals, so cats probably won’t like her. She does live with two right now and if she gets close to them, will cover them in saliva and sniff inside their ears (gross). She knows some commands such as “stay”, “come”, “sit”, “lay down”, and “go to bed”.
