I WILL AT THE ADOPTION EVENT AT BEAU'S BRIDGE CLUB ON SUNDAY, JUNE 29TH IN CHESTER, VA. STOP BY TO MEET ME AND GET LOTS OF PUPPY KISSES! Location: Chester, VA Meet Bayou! Bayou is a playful, affectionate, and energetic pup who's learning fast and loves playing with other dog! With a lively spirit, he thrives on regular exercise and enrichment, enjoying long walks, active play, and plenty of interaction. This social boy is great with dogs and children, and he warms up to strangers easily. While he's still working on his house and leash training, but he's a bright learner. He's mostly crate-trained, though he's not yet safe to leave unattended due to his energetic, playful nature that sometimes includes jumping. Bayou is highly motivated to learn and responds well to positive reinforcement. He loves to play and is eager for a family who can continue his training and help him channel his boundless zest for life. He sleeps soundly in his crate overnight and would fit into any loving home that can provide guidance and playtime. Bayou's enthusiastic personality and eagerness to please make him a truly wonderful companion!

Story
Location: Strasburg, VA Meet Begonia! Begonia is a timid, yet incredibly loving dog who blossoms with patience and trust. She may be scared initially, but once she feels safe, she loves to sit and lay right next to you. Begonia has a generally relaxed energy level, enjoying occasional play or short walks and is content with light daily activity. She is good with other dogs and children under 12, but she takes time to warm up to strangers, preferring to build trust on her own terms. Begonia is currently working on her house, leash, and crate training. She's not yet safe to leave unattended and requires supervision. Begonia is a smart girl who is working on her basic commands and responds best when given time and positive reinforcement. She has a unique way of expressing herself – she's calm when left alone, but can be quite vocal when she wants to come out, or if her crate isn't clean, or even if her brother makes a mess – truly a little diva! Begonia sleeps in a crate and is looking for a patient and understanding family who will earn her trust and give her the time and space she needs to come out of her shell. She will thrive in a home where her sensitive nature is respected, and she is given the opportunity to build confidence at her own pace. Begonia is a special girl waiting for the right home to help her shine. Included Veterinary Care: Visit to Veterinarian: Health certificate included Vaccinations: Up to date for her age Spay/Neutered Microchipped Heartworm Preventative Flea and Tick Preventative Worm/Parasite Treatments
