Story
Meet Fred Murphy This 10 month old hunk of ! a fellow may be small at 15 pounds, but he's packed with personality! Fred is a curious, high-energy boy who loves to explore, play and keep tabs on everything happening around him. He's happiest when he has plenty of toys to toss around and other dogs to romp with-he gets along great with canine friends. Fred was found as a stray and is still learning a few of his manners. He's mostly potty trained (loves the doggy door) and working on leash walking, but his enthusiasm for life sometimes takes over. Since he's part Jack Russell, he's quick, clever, and not above a little mischief...so anything left on the floor is fair game in his book! When playtime winds down, Fred becomes a total snuggle bug who loves curling up with his people for some quiet time. He has not been cat tested yet, but he loves making new friends. If you would like to add Fred to your forever family, please go to goofyfootrescue.org and place an application.

Story
It's been a LONG, EXPENSIVE road to get Princess ready for adoption but she is sooo worth it! GET OUT THE TISSUES AND READ ON! We get intake requests that we cannot help every day but this girl hit us hard! Princess recently lost both of her elderly owners. At a time that must have been already so stressful to her, the family took her to a crowded, rural, overwhelmed shelter where she was terrifed and looked down the road expecting someone to come back for her. When staff noticed a mass on her back leg and blood in her urine, they knew the chances of her making it out alive were slim. They told us that animals at this shelter don't go to the vet for medical care; they go for euthanasia. So many shelters are overwhelmed right now and even healthy dogs are being euthanized for space. I don't know why Princess' story hit me so hard but I just started crying. It's just something about the older dogs who lose their families that breaks my heart. Thank goodness for our foster families! One of our best offered to save Princess without hesitation! Princess was treated for a terrible urinary tract infection and had surgery to remove the mass. Unfortunately, the surgery site did not heal well because of it's location. Princess had to go back to the vet many times to get it resutured and spent weeks in a cone! Worst of all, the mass was mast cell cancer and not all of it was able to be removed. Princess is a kind dog who is a little nervous at times and loves the security of her crate. She is great with all of the dogs in her foster home and still has so much love to give. Princess is around 7-8 years old and weighs bout 30 pounds. She takes a benedryl daily to help control the growth of mast cells. More tumors may develop and there is no way to know what her lifespan may be but it's possible that she will live for several more years. Let's find a family who will truly treasure this precious girl! A reduced adoption fee of $100 does apply for Princess, our seniors, special medical and behavioral needs dogs and other "slow to adopt" dogs! Augusta Dog Adoptions is an all- volunteer, foster- based rescue. We take applications online and schedule individual adoptions in the Waynesboro, VA. A $175.00 adoption fee ($300 for puppies under 6 months old) helps us take care of all the dogs we rescue. All dogs are spayed/neutered, tested for heartworm and tick borne diseases (if old enough), microchipped, and vaccinated for rabies (if old enough), distemper/parvo and bordetella. They are also treated for internal and external parasites. Many dogs also receive extensive medical care such as dental work and major surgeries.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.10-year-old BoBo was signed over to the shelter along with her best friends, a Chihuahua mix named General, and beautiful cat with flame point markings. Bobo is spayed, and we are told uses pee pee pads inside if she cannot get outside. We don’t know much about her family background, but she was friendly to the strangers who wanted to help her in the shelter, and does not hesitate to be affectionate. she is now in a foster home where we have found she is bonded deeply to her companion General. We would really like them to be placed together because General is her comforter in times of stress, and helps ease her through scary times with loud noises, fireworks, and thunder. Bobo has been to the doctor recently, or an exam and is very healthy.   PLEASE NOTE: This pet has been posted by Friends of Campbell County Animal Control, Rustburg, VA.
