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”.

Story
Did you watch Twilight and think, ‘wow, I wish I could have one of those werewolves living in my home!’ Well boy, do we have the dog for you! Noah is a dignified, older shepherd, who weighs in at nearly 100 pounds! He is very food-motivated and already knows sit and down. We think he may do well with other dogs, but more information is needed- if you have a dog of your own, we would be happy to schedule a meet and greet to see if it’s a good fit.

Story
Auntie Em is a beautiful, German Shepherd Dog/Pitbull mix (50/50 according to the DNA test). Her dark Brindle coat and copper eyes are simply stunning - this girl turns heads! She is about 3.5 years old and weighs 64 pounds. She is very smart, obedient, powerful, and full of energy. If you are interested, please research both breeds. High energy, working dogs require a lot of exercise and stimuli. Auntie Em is very particular with other animals. She has interacted with various sized dogs. Sometimes it's playful, sometimes it's not. She does not like when other dogs get in her face or show any excitement or dominance. There is not a lot of warning when she's upset. A new owner will have to work with her and learn her cues and how to redirect her. Her prey drive is there for little furry things too, therefore no kitties. Em would do best as the only pet. She has loved all the people she has met so far with proper introduction. She is CRAZY food motivated. Em will eat anything, but chicken seems to make her itchy. Poultry free diet for this girl! She is gentle when taking treats, but is a bit protective of her bowl and yummy treats. Because of this and her occasional bursts of energy (zoomies), no children under 12 in the household for this gal. Em will definitely benefit from some obedience training to polish her manners. She does know some basic commands. She will go in a crate, but she does not love it. Em can be trusted in the house alone as long as she has her toys. She LOVES her toys. She also loves to hang out on the couch and on the bed if you will let her. Em will go in the car just fine - she is a little anxious at first, but settles down. She is micro-chipped, UTD on vaccines and spayed. She does get seasonal allergies too, but it is easily controlled with medication as needed. Em is going to make a wonderful pet for the right owner.

Story
Meet Echo – The Queen of the Puppy Dog Eyes-Echo has one of those faces that`s impossible to forget. With her soulful, expressive eyes, she`s clearly mastered the art of convincing people she deserves `just one more treat.` Judging by how much she loves snacks, it`s probably worked more than a few times! While treats are definitely the way to her heart, they`ll need to be enjoyed in moderation.When it`s time for a walk, Echo is ready to explore. She loves being outside and enjoys following her nose, taking in all the interesting scents the world has to offer. She adapts to wearing a harness with ease and is happy to stroll along at her own pace. Running vehicles can make her a bit nervous, so she`ll appreciate someone who can help her feel safe and build her confidence.Echo would likely prefer to be the only dog in the home but we would always love to do a meet and greet with your pups to see if it`s a match. Best of all, she`s highly treat motivated, making her an excellent candidate for continued training. Whether you`re teaching her new cues, polishing her leash skills, or simply strengthening your bond, Echo is eager to learn when tasty rewards are involved.If you`re looking for a walking companion who loves to explore, has unforgettable puppy dog eyes, and is ready to learn with the right encouragement, Echo may be the perfect addition to your family. Come meet her—you might just find yourself falling for those irresistible eyes, too.

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!
