Story
Sanford is a big, handsome boy with an even bigger heart, ready to find his forever family by the beach! This strong and spirited pup is full of love and looking for an active home where he can thrive. Sanford came to us through no fault of his own—he’s just a bit too strong for his previous elderly owner. But rest assured, he was very well cared for, including receiving heartworm treatment through a local low-cost clinic. He is also due for a dental, but don’t worry, thanks to some incredibly generous donors, his adoption fee and dental costs are fully covered! We think Sanford would be happiest with a fenced yard and some space to stretch his legs, but he’d also do well with daily walks—as long as his new humans are ready for a strong walking buddy! Because of his size and strength, we recommend a home with children 12 and up, and we’d love for Sanford to meet any resident dogs to ensure a great match. Sanford has so much love to give and can’t wait to share his life with someone special.

Story
CHARLIE - 15 months old, 75 + pounds, house trained, dog tolerant Charlie arrived at VBACAC after he started guarding important items from his family. He is a big boy, 75+ pounds, who has bright white teeth, deep black and tan fur and a great smile. Charlie is nervous with new people but warms up quickly. I met him in the playgroup yard and he almost immediately approached me, sniffed and started licking my hands.  Within a short time he would run to me after being pushed a bit too hard from another dog and sit on my feet leaning against me. He is young and needs training. We are doing some at the shelter and see this boy is eager to please you.  He's smart, loves to chase tennis balls, and loves toys. Puppies use their mouths a lot and Charlie is no different. The mouthiness can be managed with training, tug toy play and treats. He can be trusted free to roam with his family but is used to a crate when left alone. He is scared of loud noises and is known to guard items he finds important. The guarding can be managed as well by an owner willing to put time in training.  Charlie is dog tolerant. He does need some time getting used to other friendly well-balanced and respectful dogs. We are seeing him come out of his shell from scampering to a safe spot and growling if another dog gets too close to actually running, chasing, and playing with others. He also has moved from not allowing other dogs to sniff him to letting others get close and sniff.  Charlie is currently in a back kennel so if you come in to meet him and don't see him, please just ask. *Please do your research on Rottweilers and German Shepherds before considering adopting. Both have specific breed characteristics which you should make sure align with your family's lifestyle.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.May 13, 2025, 1:48 pm

Story
*Update 2.0- Dallas was again adopted and returned when he became "too dependent" on his people. *Update - Dallas was adopted but returned after a nip to the adopter. Acclimation to a new home and family (especially a Rottweiler) takes weeks to months. He needs a patient family to take their tome building a relationship and taking things slow as he adjusts. Ask us for more information on his learned history from the recent home and strategies to help him settle in.  DALLAS is a new resident at VBACAC. He is just about 2 years old and a big boy weighing at 100lbs. We even know his birthday, April 22, 2022. Dallas was surrendered through no fault of his own but instead housing issues. He has lived with 6-year-old children with whom he was friendly and playful. Dallas was allowed to roam free in his home when left alone. He also loves his own doggie bed. He is house trained and loves to play with any kind of toy, balls, frisbees, squeaky toys, and tug toys. He is used to being walked a couple times daily and enjoys car rides and adventures.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.May 13, 2025, 1:03 pm

Maxx is a two year old Rottie that was surrendered when his owner could no longer take care of him. Maxx is a big boy that exhibits typical breed traits. He does resource guard high value items like treats and toys. For this reason he is looking for an owner with Rottie experience and a home without children. Maxx loves playing tug-of-war and enjoys relaxing with his people. It does take him time to warm up to new people, but once he does, he is very friendly and loyal. If Maxx seems like a good fit for your home, come by the shelter to meet him today!Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.June 11, 2025, 4:31 pm

COCO - (bday 10/7/2020) 4+ years old, 60 pounds, house trained, dog social, loves her toys, no children. Coco is great! She’s loving and friendly. She loves being near her family and even sleeps in bed with them. Coco can be trusted roaming free when left alone. Such a good girl! She can get along with other dogs and enjoys playing with them.  Just don’t touch her toys. She guards her toys. This behavior can be managed. Feel free to speak with a caretaker about it. Coco is nervous in the shelter. She is starting to come around and we are seeing a sweet girl who’s just curious about this new environment.  Coco is a beauty and when given time and space to get settled in and accustomed to new surroundings and new people, she will show you a vibrant, active and fun girl.  Coco is currently in a back kennel so when you come in to meet her and don’t see her, please just ask. And remember, let her approach you. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.May 13, 2025, 1:48 pm

Story
DAISY MAE - 1 year old, 54 pounds, house trained,  Daisy is still a puppy at barely a year old and surrendered when her owner could no longer care for her.  She has tons of energy and is very playful.  She loves all kinds of toys, balls, squeaky, plush & tug. Although we are told she is good with children, we are recommending an adult only home as she can be rough with kids and has a tendency to guard high value items. She likes other dogs but does play very rough and will guard items from them. Daisy was barky at first but then out in the yard, she loved running and running and running, chasing tennis balls, stopping for treats and then running and chasing some more. Daisy Mae is looking for a very active family who will provide plenty of exercise, playtime and training to help curb some of her guarding issues. She is a hoot and in the right home, she will thrive. Daisy Mae is currently in our medium dog adoption kennel so just ask to meet her!Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.May 14, 2025, 4:33 pm

Story
BOLT - 3 years old, 60 pounds, house trained, good with kids, dog selective, no cats Bolt is a young, handsome, large mixed breed boy. His black thick fur is soft. He has pretty amber eyes and along with white on his chest, he has a touch of white on a couple of his paws. Arriving bc his owner was in the military and had no one else to care for him, Bolt is nervous behind the cage bars. He stares and backs away. Once outside, however, he is a fun and friendly boy. He came right up to me, sniffed and licked my hand. So silly! It took him a few minutes to get used to the other dogs in playgroup. He let them know when they were too much for him.  *We vet our playgroup dogs so they all listened to him and backed away when he corrected them. After a short time, he was initiating chasing play with others. *We are recommending Bolt be an only pet. He has been known to get into trouble if left unattended so crate training is a good idea as he will steal food from counter tops and chew up paper. Bolt loves to play with toys including balls and tough toys. He will rip up stuffed ones. Bolt is currently in a back kennel so if you come in and don't see him, please just ask!Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.June 19, 2025, 3:03 pm
