Story
Meatloaf is a 4.5 year old male rat terrier who doesnt have a mean bone in his body, though as with many rat terriers he is prey driven and will keep your yard vermin free.Meatloaf has an older brother who bullies him and it has started to take his toll.on Meatloaf who is a more docile, submissive soul, and has become more anxious and stressed. When he stayed with a friend with 2 other dogs he was so happy and confident there that he cried when he returned home.I realized that in our home environment he is getting robbed of his best dog years. He displayed a happy confidence while away that he doesnt have here. He loves his person, loves other dogs, loves walks and excersise and I truly want to upgrade his life at this point. We have tried many other things with the other dog including a behaviorist and anti anxiety meds to little avail amd of the 2 Meatloaf has the chance to have a great life with another family. I am looking for the best, not fastest home for him.

Story
****As you may have heard the VBSPCA took in 6 dogs from a hoarding situation in TN. Please keep in mind that these canines will require time and patience as they settle into their new home. Staff may require multiple visits to make sure this is a good match for you and for the rescued canine. All of the dogs transferred will be seen by vet and medical needs addressed and surgeries scheduled as needed. We have a handout that will go over common concerns with under socialized dogs from cases like this. We ask that any applicants please be prepared that dogs from hoarding cases often are very fearful, difficult to housebreak, and may take longer to acclimate into canine companion life though the reward will always outweigh any struggles! *****Feisty came to us from our friends at Bissell after having lived his life with 200 other dogs. This sweet but shy man is looking for a fresh start here at the beach! Feisty will need children 16+ as he is very scared of loud noises and fast movements. He needs a canine friend in his future home and would need to meet them prior to adoption. Due to Feisty`s fearful and shy nature he is prone to attempting to escaping so we do ask that at the time of adoption his family bring a crate to safely transport her home. Our amazing kennel team can fill you in on the up to date medical needs for Feisty. If you would like to visit or have further questions please speak with our kennel staff!
