Meet MelodyAge: 3 yearsBreed: Shepherd MixMelody is a gentle soul searching for the forever home she’s always deserved. She came to the shelter underweight, matted, and clearly not well cared for. Thanks to the kindness of Barbie at Bubbles and Bark, Melody received the care she so desperately needed—her dirty, matted coat was removed, leaving her fresh, clean, and feeling much better.We believe Melody likely lived as an outdoor dog with little to no prior home training. Despite her past, she has shown incredible resilience and is now thriving in a loving foster home. Her foster is patiently working with her on housebreaking and kennel manners, and Melody continues to make progress with consistency and compassion.Melody is a quiet, sensitive girl who will do best with an adopter who is patient, gentle, and understanding, someone willing to meet her where she is and help her learn what it means to be a cherished family member. She hasn’t had the easiest start in life, but with the right person, she has the potential to blossom into a devoted and loving companion.She has met a few dogs and seems to prefer very mellow, low-key canine companions who respect her space. We do not recommend a home with active dogs or small children, as she thrives in calm, predictable environments.If you’re looking to truly change a life and give a deserving dog the love and stability she’s been missing, Melody may be your perfect match. She’s ready to be treated like the queen she is.?? To meet Melody, please email PRAS-FOSTER@NNVA.GOV to connect with her foster home.

Story
Meet Benjamin (Benny)Age: 10 monthsBreed: Shepherd MixStatus: Available-Foster CareBenjamin—better known as Benny—is a sweet, goofy, high-energy puppy who is ready to find an active forever home. His foster family describes him as the sweetest boy with a big personality and an even bigger love for his people.Benny loves to play and would thrive in a home with another playful, dog-friendly dog. He has shown great social skills by being respectful of boundaries, even with a current canine housemate who isn’t very interested in making friends. Benny is very passive by nature and takes cues well from other dogs.He is currently working on housebreaking and is partially trained. His foster is helping him learn cues to let his people know when he needs to go outside, and he continues to make progress. Benny is great for baths, isn’t a big barker, and loves interactive games like tug-of-war.This puppy is an enthusiastic chewer and an official toy destroyer, so he’ll need durable, tough toys to keep him happy. He adores balls (even if they still confuse and amaze him), enjoys digging—something his foster family is actively working on—and brings plenty of laughs with his goofy antics.Benny is affectionate and a little jealous, preferring to soak up as much attention as possible. He loves being by his person’s side and thrives on connection. Like many puppies, he isn’t fully aware of his size yet and may jump up when excited, so continued training and consistency will be important.He has been around a cat who wanted nothing to do with him. Benny was very curious but not aggressive, and would need continued guidance and supervision in a home with cats.With his high energy level, Benny will do best in a very active home committed to training, structure, and plenty of physical and mental enrichment. In return, he’ll give endless loyalty, laughter, and love.If you’re looking for an energetic, affectionate companion and are ready for the fun and work of a growing puppy, Benny may be your perfect match.

Story
Hi there! My name is FeFe, and I’m a 6-year-old German Shepherd looking for my forever home! I’m 82 pounds of black and tan floof. I know I’m a big girl, but my foster mom says there’s just more of me to love! I’m spayed, heartworm negative, and fully vaccinated, so I’m healthy and ready to go home with you! I’m a goofy and loving dog who is always up for a good time. I love to play fetch and chew on bones, and I’m always eager to learn new tricks. My foster parents recently took me dock diving. I did so well that the instructor told them to enter competitions with me! I’m very smart and energetic, so I’m looking for someone who can keep up with me! It would be best if you have experience with shepherds or other herding breeds like me. I’m house and crate trained, and my foster mom has been working with me on my leash manners. I get nervous around people and animals that I don’t know, so I’m looking for a home where I can be the only pet. I’m nice to kids but because I’m so big (and sometimes a little clumsy), I’d do best in a home with teenagers instead of small children. If you’re looking for a loyal and loving companion, I’m your girl! I’m being fostered in Portsmouth, VA and adopters will need to meet me in person prior to adoption. Complete an application to learn more about me! *Must be 21 or older to apply.
