Story
Per sephone is a two year old female born, april 4th 2024 she is German Shepherd mixed with American pit bull. Her father was a purebred black german shepherd and her mother was a purebred american pit bull. She loves to play tug of war and her ball.She also loves to snuggle and get pets and belly rubs. The reason for wanting to find her a new home is due to her aggression. With our older dog and for some reason, she's not getting along with her. Other than that, she is great with kids.Cats and adults. She is crate trained and potty trained. She just needs the right person that is able to either train her to be less aggressive with other dogs or get her trained, which we do not have the time to do due to our busy work schedules. So that's why we just want her to find a loving home with someone that can give her the attention that she needs.

Story
My name is Molly. The photo you see? This is the picture taken by staff when it was discovered that my owners had dumped me on shelter property. My dream is to be in a home where I am wanted and not discarded like garbage. I am the sweetest, most submissive dog imaginable. The folks here at the shelter believe I've been bred several times based on my appearance. They are working on getting me spayed and fully vetted so that I never have to worry about raising puppies again. I'm a spaniel mix and I am medium-sized. I weigh around 50 pounds. I am friendly, yet shy, around everyone I meet. I am friendly with dogs and don't mind cats. I've had a rough past, but I really hope my future is bright. Please come meet me at Fayette County Animal Shelter. The address is 513 Shelter Road, Fayetteville, WV 25840. You can learn more about me or apply to foster/adopt at fayettecountyanimalshelterwv.com.

Story
Maverick is a stunning shepherd with a flowing coat and striking markings that turn heads wherever he goes. He is just as engaging in personality. He has a lot to say when it comes to new places and people, but once he settles in, he is friendly, social, and eager to connect. If you appreciate a dog with opinions and presence, Maverick delivers.He is house trained, crate trained, and enjoys an active lifestyle. Fetch is a favorite, and he thrives when he has an outlet for both his energy and his mind. Maverick does well with select dogs and has lived successfully with small children.Maverick’s best fit:Maverick will do best in a home that understands shepherd traits and is ready to provide structure, activity, and clear communication. He benefits from routine and will need to be crated during car rides to help manage anxiety and prevent car sickness. His ideal family will enjoy an active, interactive dog and appreciate his vocal, expressive nature. With the right balance of exercise, guidance, and engagement, Maverick is a loyal and dynamic companion ready to be part of the action.
