Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Suga is a beautiful former shelter girl, fostered for several months while making the progress we had hoped to see, and we want to share that good news with everyone who is a German Shepherd fan! After eight years of living in what we imagine was an unsocialized, possibly isolated area, Sugar has opted to make friends with people, and is willing to learn new experiences. Right now she is fostered by a family with one other dog, who have done a super job of helping her learn that life can be predictable, and that good things happen when you can trust people. Truly, senior dogs have the hardest time making adjustments, and we are praying she will continue her progress with trust. Not totally house trained yet, but she has finally learned to traverse the household where she is fostered, and use the door to the backyard to go in and out as needed. Her foster mom is working hard with her on a leash, and again it’s a matter of trust. She lives with another gentle dog, and tends to be the assertive one in the household. She is happy to associate with the household cat. We look forward to continuing her socialization and helping her become a more well-adjusted dog, although she will probably never be one of those who wants to go out and about and meet people. However, if you’re looking for a companion to be your best friend, and someone that you can teach to trust, she is still considered a bit of a project. She is about 70 pounds. Spayed, and current with vaccines.       UPDATE: Sugar is her new name, and it fits this princess.  She is making baby steps in becoming more confident, but we know she has a long way to go. Her foster family is doing everything they can! Fencing, a private room, a gentle dog to be her mentor.... all are part of the process. ***When beautiful Cherryl was signed over to the shelter by her caregiver, we were told she was eight years old and had already had eight litters of puppies! We will never know because the person who cared for her said she had rescued her from a neighbor who had allowed her to become pregnant over and over. We are glad that we were able to get a spay for Cherryl, and she is recovering nicely.    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.Koal's family needed time to adjust to a new baby shortly after his adoption, and we are wanting to help Koal find the one-and-done this time around. He has proven himself to be most adaptable to other dogs and lived with a pit bull and other large breeds at one time, and then in his recovery home following his neuter, enjoyed hanging out in the presence of a small dog. He knows some German commands,  and responds beautifully to hand signals and treat rewards. This is one boy we would hate to see sent off to boot camp for rigorous training where an e-collar was the first choice for teaching him, because we already know he wants to please. He needs clear expectations and a leader, and he will be the most devoted companion imaginable. Chaos is not for him.... but someone willing to be even-keeled, and develop a relationship with him of respect will be highly valued by this most gorgeous boy! No idea about cats, but he was in a household with an active toddler, and it might have been a little much for him. If you have management skills when it comes to kids and dogs, Koal would be a great consideration for you. He is housetrained, as well as crate trained, (his foster mom says crating is easy to accomplish). Koal is a great friend for car rides, too!    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.  We just can't say enough good things about Rex! REX found his BFF's at the shelter last week! He is finally getting to enjoy the playtime he had to miss when he was neutered and recovering from his surgery. He absolutely was the best with smaller female dogs, and was big brother-uncle all at the same time. We are thrilled, since that means Rex will be able to live in a multi-dog home when he goes out searching for his people. Rex is a four year-old Rottweiler/German Shepherd mix, neutered, house trained, and maybe not as fond of male dogs as female, but we have high hopes for him with correct introductions. If you’d like to meet the 70- pounder, just let us know!   PLEASE NOTE: This pet has been posted by Friends of Campbell County Animal Control, Rustburg, VA.

Housetrained. he will probably be happiest as the only dog in his home, although he is handling being with other dogs right now in a foster home situation. Zeus is fine with children and has been described as "kid neutral," meaning he does not seek out their attention, but is tolerant.
