Story
Peace was born on October 12, 2023. I purchased him from a nice couple that bred and raised pup litters when he was 3 months old. He loves being around people & attention. He follows you everywhere & loyal. He's loves to eat and is food motivated. He is used to higher-quality foods. Dogs his breed and size have sensitive stomachs. He eats either Stella & Chewy or Vital Proteins brand. My family's schedule has become busier. He knows to go potty outside but is not fully trained & does have accidents. He doesn't like the rain too much, especially to potty. He can be mischievous and stubborn at times & will hold it and go inside if he's not watched. Overall, he is very sweet. Although we love Peace very much, my family would like to find another loving home for him to grow in. He is very playful and energetic. A home life with a consistent schedule, preferably with smaller children, would be best, or someone often home that can match his energy.

Story
🐾 Georgie 🐾 Shih Tzu | Neutered Male | Adult (Approx. 2–3 Years Old) Georgie is a sweet Shih Tzu who came to us from the same backyard breeding situation as Lester and Big Red. Because of his past, Georgie is more on the nervous side and takes a little longer to warm up—but once he does, his loving personality truly shines. Since coming into our care, Georgie has made great progress. While he may be shy at first, he has really come out of his shell and now enjoys affection and happily gives kisses right on your face once he feels comfortable and safe. 🩺 Medical & Vetting: • Neutered • Microchipped • Heartworm tested negative • Rabies vaccinated • Distemper (DHPP) vaccinated • Leptospirosis vaccinated • Bordetella vaccinated ✂️ Grooming Notes: Georgie showed some sensitivity around having his face groomed. With time, patience, and positive experiences, this is something he can continue to improve on. Any potential adopter should ensure their groomer is aware that Georgie may be uncomfortable with face handling and could react defensively. A big thank you to Jessica at Hair of the Dog Grooming (Louisa County, VA), who groomed Georgie and is generously offering one free groom after adoption. 🐶 Dog-to-Dog Notes: We were told by the breeder that Georgie may guard humans from other dogs and could potentially be reactive. However, we have not observed any aggressive behavior at the rescue, and Georgie has done well around other dogs in our care. As with any dog, slow and proper introductions are always recommended. 🏡 Ideal Home: Georgie would thrive in a calm, patient home that understands he needs time to build trust. Once he feels safe, he is incredibly affectionate and eager to bond with his people. 📍 Ready to apply? 👉 Apply here: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/HPAW/Dog

🐾 Big Red 🐾 Shih Tzu | Neutered Male | DOB: April 5, 2024 Big Red is a sweet Shih Tzu who came to us from a backyard breeding situation and is now looking for a patient, loving forever home. Because of his background, Big Red was not well socialized early on and can be nervous at first. He is also not fully potty trained yet and will need a home willing to continue working with him using consistency and positive reinforcement. Since arriving at the rescue on December 17, 2025, Big Red has made wonderful progress and has really started to come out of his shell. When Big Red arrived, he had fleas and was heavily matted. He has since been fully treated, groomed, and is now feeling much more comfortable. He is a very sweet boy who enjoys affection once he feels safe and settled. 🩺 Medical & Vetting: • Neutered • Microchipped • Heartworm tested negative • Rabies vaccinated • Distemper (DHPP) vaccinated • Leptospirosis vaccinated • Bordetella vaccinated 🐶 Other Pets: Big Red has done well with other dogs. He has not been tested with cats or children. 🏡 Ideal Home: Big Red would do best in a calm, patient home that understands he is still learning what life in a home is like. With time, routine, and love, he will continue to build confidence and make a wonderful companion. 📍 Ready to apply? 👉 Apply here: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/HPAW/Dog
