Story
JACK- 1 Year & 7 Months Jack was recently surrendered by owner due to not getting along with his litter mates and his parents.  The owner states he does well with other dogs that are not related to him, although he has shown resource guarding tendencies so food and toys should be kept separate.  He likes playing with tennis balls and being a goof ball himself. He has never been around children and would not do well with cats.  He enjoys lounging on the couch watching tv with his person, but he can also be energetic and playful like the pup he is.   Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.October 6, 2025, 10:17 pm

Story
Meet Gage! Surrendered through no fault of his own, this handsome pup is looking for a fresh start! Gage is a great leash walker who enjoys long walks. He`d be a great hiking buddy! Gage follows basic commands such as sit and shake, and is gentle when accepting treats. He loves to play fetch or just run around chasing tennis balls and squeaky toys. When he`s not playing, Gage is very affectionate and also likes to be brushed. Gage is house and crate-trained, and enjoys the company of other dogs. He is best-suited for a home with older kids and a fenced yard where he can run and play. Gage is a great pup! Come in and meet him today!

Story
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
Watson is on the hunt for his ride or die BFF. This handsome 70 pound Malinois mix was surrendered through no fault of his own due to a recent change in his home situation. Watson is very friendly, playful, and loves people, and he truly thrives on attention. Because he sometimes forgets just how big and strong he is, any children in the home should be 10 years old or older. Watson can also be quite forward when meeting other dogs, especially females, so a meet and greet with any resident dogs will be required prior to adoption. To ensure his success, adopters should have relevant breed experience such as German Shepherds, Malinois, or other high drive canines, as Watson will benefit from knowledgeable guidance to help him become the best companion he can be. Additionally, Watson has some seasonal skin allergies that will likely require ongoing husbandry throughout the year. If you are looking for your next outdoor adventure buddy or would like more information about Watson, please speak with our kennel team who will be happy to help.
