Story
Meet Apricot !! This tiny girl is so scared. She needs a really special person to help her recover from all that she has been through. She is one of the now 24 dogs we have taken in from a horrible hoarding situation. She survived being in a feces covered home during freezing temps with no heat, no food, no water and no electricity for a very long time. She’s made a lot of progress but still has a long way to go. Apricot is approx. 3 years old. She is a female Yorkie mix best guess. She weighs 12 Pounds and is full grown. She is already spayed, up to date on vaccines, microchipped and had a dental. She is heartworm negative and on monthly preventions. She is very shy at first and takes time to adjust to new people. She becomes comfortable with women faster than men. It’s a process of building trust with a dog that’s been neglected like this. Once she trusts you she opens up and gets up in your lap and wants attention. Apricot has done well with other dogs. She has been submissive and happy to meet all dogs so far. She has not played much with other dogs but seems to enjoy just having them around. She is not fostered with cats so we are not sure how she would do but she sleeps next to the bunny cage in her foster home. So far all of these dogs from the hoarding house that have met cats have done wonderful with them so we hope she would as well. She is not fostered with kids but we think she would do well with calmer older kids. She will need kids and adults in the home to be willing to give her space and time to adjust to them and feel safe. As with any dog she would need any children in the house to be respectful and not treat her like a toy. *** Until she trusts you she will try to bite if she is grabbed, picked up, or cornered when she is scared. It takes a lot of time and effort to get to a point where she trusts you to be picked up. This is why she must go to a home with kids old enough to understand and follow rules around her. She will not try to bite unless her boundaries are pushed and is happy to move away from you instead if she has that option. Apricot has done very well on car rides, she is a little nervous but does not get sick. She had never been on a leash before and has been so scared that we have not pushed that issue with her. She is also scared to go outside so she has been using the bathroom on puppy pads. She is not potty trained to go outside yet. She is also not crate trained due to how scared she was of it. She does well in a room with a baby gate and some puppy pads out. She is slowly figuring things out but her new owner will just need to be patient and understanding given her history. Despite having to fight over limited food and resources in her last home she has shown no issues sharing with other dogs or people. She does very well with sharing and is overall submissive about everything. She will eventually trust you enough to take treats from you and she takes them very gently. She has a very low energy level so far. She may become more energetic as time goes on and she feels more confident. She is a dog that is very independent and has no problem being alone while you are gone at work. With a lot of time and trust building she will eventually enjoy your company and be excited to see you. She is a good dog for someone with limited time as she needs very little exercise to be happy and is already trained to potty on pads. Overall Apricot is working hard to overcome a rough start to life. She has been with her foster family for 3 months now and has gone from nipping out of fear to greeting them with tail wags when they come home. She’s starting to enjoy sitting on the couch with her foster mom and even lets her do belly rubs. She has just recently started to accept being picked up. This is all possible with her but it will take time to build up the trust with her. If you are willing to help her learn the rest of her training and give her some time to trust you then you will end up with a great addition to your family. ***Do not apply to adopt one of these hoarding case dogs if you’re not serious about giving them time to adjust. It’s absolutely unfair to expect them to adjust in a day or two. We’ve had 3 adopted and returned within 24 hours of adoption for not being immediately settled and perfect in a completely new place. All returned for things we explained upfront about them. It’s completely unreasonable and unrealistic to expect that from dogs that have been through what they have. The last thing they need is to be shuffled around due to adopters not listening or being serious about their needs*** Vet and home checks required. Will not potty on leash, needs a fenced yard or indoor potty pad situation. Located in Hampton VA. (She will need to be adopted within a 1 hour drive radius) ‼️Please message us directly at VillageDogResource@gmail.com with questions or to get an application.

Story
Meet Lollipop! When Lollipop first came to 4 Paws, she arrived with Maggie after the heartbreaking loss of their owner. We truly believed they needed to stay together. Unfortunately, after being adopted, it became clear they were not the bonded pair we thought they were. Maggie began attacking Lollipop, and for Lollipop's safety, they have been permanently separated. Now it's Lollipop's turn to find the loving home she deserves. Lollipop is a 7-year-old Yorkie weighing just 7.5 pounds. She is a sweet, gentle little girl who loves being close to her people and enjoys cuddles and kisses. She was potty pad trained in her previous home, and because her vet and groomer always came to the house, she has had very little experience with the outside world. New sights, sounds, and routines can be overwhelming, so she will need a patient adopter who will help her build confidence at her own pace. Lollipop does experience anxiety and is currently taking trazodone, which has been helping her feel more comfortable as she adjusts to all the changes in her life. We are hopeful that once she settles into a calm, stable home where she feels safe and secure, her veterinarian can help determine whether she will need to remain on medication long term. She would do best in a quiet home with a predictable routine. Lollipop does well with calm, respectful dogs and cats but would also be happy as your one and only, soaking up all the love and attention. As with all dogs, Lollipop will need time to adjust to a new home and its expectations. Her forever family should understand that pet ownership is a lifelong commitment that includes daily exercise, continued training, and socialization. Remember, a good dog is a tired dog! If you think Lollipop could be the perfect addition to your family, please DO NOT CALL us. Instead, complete an online adoption application at https://petstablished.com/adoption_form/21800/generic. We verify the care of current and past pets. Our primary goal is to find the best home for every animal, and we reserve the right to approve or deny applications based on what's in the pet's best interest. Please help us share Lollipop's story so she can finally find the forever home she's been waiting for. #LoveDogsForever #Yorkie #RescuedIsTheBestBreed #AdoptDontShop #Adopt #RescueDog #LoveDogs

Story
For inquiries email eabriggs@aol.com Fee: $400 Location: Chesapeake, VA UPDATE 4/28/2026 Nala was seen by the vet for a dental. She was found to be heartworm positive. She also has some elevated blood levels we are investigating which could indicate cancer. Once we determine the source of the elevated labs we will decide if she is healthy enough to undergo heartworm treatment. Please send healing vibes and prayer to Nala. Shes a lovely little lady who deserves the best. Nala is new in rescue. Her owner surrendered her to the rescue due to health reasons and an impending move. Nala is a sweet little 8-9 pound yorkie girl. She is a bit shy but warms up quickly. She would not be a good fit for someone with young children due to her shyness. She is getting along well with her foster siblings (all small dogs). She is in desperate need of a spa day. She will need a dental before she is adopted. We are still getting to know her and will post more as learn what she needs in a home. Please follow us on social media for the most up to date photos and information.

For inquiries email kathyb@compactcaninerescue.org Fee: $400 Location: Chesapeake, VA Meet Florence! Florence, better known as Flo to her friends at CCR, is a tiny little yorkie. She is approximately 10 years old and weighs about 3.5 pounds but needs to gain a little weight. She was surrendered to the rescue by her family. They made the tough decision to put her in our care because her owner was very ill. We will make sure she gets the best care and finds a wonderful family. Flo does need some extensive dental care. Her lack of wellness care over the years has led to significant dental disease causing a oro-nasal fistula. She will need surgical repair of this fistula before adoption. You can read more about the surgery here. Flo is a friendly, quiet little lady. She is currently trying to put on a little weight and that will take a little time. She is also receiving supplements for her coat. She will have a oro-nasal fistula repaired on June 22nd. Once she is healed she will be ready for adoption. Healing will take time. Flo enjoys the company of other small, senior dogs. She loves the companionship and senior snooze time together. Another calm, older dog would benefit her in her new home. A secure fence would also be an asset so she can sniff and explore safely. Apply now to give Flo the best years of her life.

Story
For inquiries email info@compactcaninerescue.org Fee $600 Location: Norfolk, VA UPDATE 5/14/2026: Lola Faye is a sweet little girl who suffers from some anxiety. She has been started on medication for this and thankfully it is helping. She also has situational medication for stressful events like the veterinary office and grooming. Lola Faye continues to show good house manners (in a new home she may have an accident until she settles into a new routine.) She likes walking and snuggling with foster mom. Lola Faye is crate trained and enjoys sleeping through the night in her safe space. She is happy in her crate while foster mom is at work. She is definitely a love bug. Lola is ready for adoption. She will need patience in her new home. She has been through so much. She will need someone to give her time to adjust and space to acclimate to her new home. Being surrendered to the rescue really confused her. But, she has learned she is safe with us. She has made a lot of progress but will still need time to learn to trust. A quiet home with a consistent routine will help her thrive.Lola is a sweet little lady who deserves the best! While not required, attending a few training classes would help Lola Faye build her confidence in her new home.   Intake notes:Lola Faye is new in rescue. She comes to us from an owner who could no longer care for her.We will have her seen at the vet to update her vaccines. She is scheduled for her spay and microchip on March 9th. Lola Faye is getting used to her foster home but is still anxious since being surrendered and we can certainly understand why. We did take her in for a consultation with the vet and she has been placed on medication to help her transition to our care and eventually her new home She prefers to be with her person at all times. She will be best served in a quiet home, home with someone there most of the day. She loves to go outside and loves walking. She is very sweet.

Story
Roo is a sweet, affectionate 5-year-old dog who loves nothing more than snuggling with his people, going on walks, playing with his toys, and enjoying the occasional pup cup. He has been a beloved member of our family, but with the demands of caring for a baby, we can no longer give him the time and attention he deserves. Roo would thrive in a home with adults or older, school-age children and would be happiest as the “baby” of the family. He has so much love to give and would make a wonderful companion for a family looking for a loyal and loving best friend. Having a fenced backyard, or an owner committed to walking him and letting him out on demand would be best.
