Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Fill out an Adoption Application HEADLINER : Lively, Lovely, LaLa, aka Lala-palooza, Lala-pop! PERSONALITY : It's hard to believe that Lala hasn't been snapped up as yet. She's smart and loves everyone she meets. This energetic girl loves fresh veggies, fruit, ice cubes and a vigorous "butt scratch." Have you ever had that friend or relative that overstays their welcome? You know you have. Do not despair as there is a solution. Lala definitely has the bulldog "toots" that are guaranteed to clear out a room (or unwanted guests). Just remember to "breathe through your mouth". :) If you're looking for a dog with the personality of a potato, Lala is not the dog for you; lazy is not in Lala's DNA. If you want a hiking or running companion or a dog (with training) that would excel in lure coursing, agility, fly ball or any other high energy sport, Lala's your girl. Ahhh, if only there were a way to harness all that energy. FAVORITE ACTIVITIES : Lala is a high energy pup that loves to fetch... though she hasn't quite grasped the idea of releasing yet, she is working on it. Lala is a pup that never passes up the opportunity for a good game of tug of war. MEDICAL ISSUES : None. WHAT WOULD BE THE BEST KIND OF HOME : Lala would do best in an active home with a fenced yard where she can run around to her heart’s content and burn some of that high energy off. Lala can quite play rough with other dogs. A home where she the only dog soaking up the attention or a home with another large dog that matches her energy would be best. Kids older than 12 would be best as Lala may knock a smaller child down. Lala would greatly benefit from positive reinforcement obedience classes. Though Lala loves to go for a ride, she does get car sick so best not to feed her before she hops in the car.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.

Our dog is a protective but very friendly companion who loves to jump, play, and be the center of attention. He enjoys being rubbed and thrives on affection. He is also very smart and learns quickly! He will be 3 years old in February 2026. We are looking for an experienced dog lover who can give him the time, care, and attention he deserves. He would do best in a home where he can be active, loved, and part of the family. He'sbeen with us from 8weeks old. He seasonal allergies that comes and go. We use a shampoo that helps with this. His breed is known for it so it's not unusual. He is loyal, playful, energetic, and intelligent.

🌟 Meet Darcy – The Sweetest Little Meatball! 🌟 Darcy is a goofy, lovable, and oh-so-snuggly girl who’s ready to charm her way into your heart! With her adorable underbite (seriously, it’s the best one you’ll ever see!) and her chunky little frame, she’s basically a walking bundle of joy. At about 2–3 years old and weighing in at 39 lbs, Darcy is guessed to be a bulldog mix. She’s the ultimate couch potato but still has plenty of silly, playful energy to keep you smiling. Darcy loves people, gets along great with kids, and does well with other dogs. She hasn’t been cat tested yet but seems unbothered by our farm animals. 🐾 Why You’ll Love Darcy: Sweet, goofy, and affectionate – the ultimate family companion Dog- and kid-friendly Could thrive as an apartment dog due to her smaller size Loves lounging and being part of the family 🩺 Medical & Care: Spayed & microchipped Up to date on Rabies and Bordetella Will receive her final Distemper & Lepto vaccine on September 24th Heartworm test scheduled soon (just to double-check her health!) On monthly flea/tick and heartworm prevention Darcy was found as a stray and brought to a local shelter, so we don’t know much about her past. She may not be fully potty trained yet, but with her smarts and eagerness to please, we’re confident she’ll pick it up quickly in a loving home. 💙 Darcy is the perfect mix of silly and sweet—a little meatball who’s ready to roll right into her forever family. Could that be you? 📩 Apply today to meet Darcy: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/HPAW/Dog Or email us at adoptions@hoovesandpaws.org

It breaks my heart to do this, but I'm looking for a wonderful new home for my sweet dog, Blanco. He's the most gentle and loving companion you could ask for, and has always been incredibly patient and kind, even with my young son and other dogs. Recently, my work schedule has changed drastically, and I'm simply not able to give Blanco the time and attention he deserves. He's such a good boy and I want him to be with a family who can shower him with the love he needs.

ADOPTION FEE WAIVED!! Meet Bella: Your New Best Friend! Bella, a lovable Hound/English Bulldog mix, is a 2-year-old bundle of joy who believes her rightful place is curled up on your lap. Weighing in at 56 pounds, this sturdy girl loves a good play session followed by a cozy nap. Adopted as a puppy at just 8 weeks old, Bella is fully house and crate trained and has settled into her role as the perfect companion. Bella’s sweetness knows no bounds. She has a heart of gold, gets along wonderfully with kids and other dogs, and is just an all-around gentle soul. As for cats, she hasn’t had the chance to meet one yet due to her mom’s feline allergy, but we’re confident she’d be just as loving with them. Bella is a true family dog and has a way of making everyone feel like part of the pack—sometimes even forgetting where her boundaries are (because she's just that loved)! Now, Bella is looking for her forever home—one where she’ll get all the cuddles, love, and maybe a few extra treats. If you’re ready to welcome this affectionate pup into your life, she’ll surely bring endless joy and wagging tails. And about that couch... Bella is on the lookout for a comfy spot, whether it’s next to you or in the sunniest corner of the room. So, if you have room in your heart (and on your furniture), Bella would be forever grateful for a place to call her own. To meet this charming girl, please fill out our pre-adoption application at www.littlebeansorphanark.com. Bella can't wait to find her perfect match and share her love!

Story
Meet Lucy — 79 pounds of pure sparkle and sass. 💅💎 This 7-year-old Bully mix didn’t just arrive from the shelter — she made an entrance in her hot pink, rhinestone-studded collar like the diva she was born to be. Think “Real Housewives,” but with more slobber and better cuddles. Her foster shared that although Lucy is big, she is not a big presence in the house. She is clean, housebroken, crate trained, non-destructive. Not high energy. And she completely ignores the cats!! If you’re looking for a dog with star power, a heart of gold, and a flair for the fabulous — Lucy’s your girl. ✨ Questions About this Animal?

Story
Fran is a sweet and bubbly Boxer mix who lives for treat time! If you love hanging out in the kitchen, she’ll be right by your side, ever hopeful that any bag you grab holds snacks. Her excitement is contagious — though she’s still learning to sit patiently for treats! This gentle girl is slowly coming out of her shell and learning to enjoy cozy time with her dog friends. She’s incredibly submissive and hasn’t met a pup she doesn’t like. When feeling overwhelmed, Fran simply retreats to her safe spot — often her bed or the kitchen. Walks can be a bit scary at first, but once she gets going, she really shines. She’s working on potty training and improving every day. Fran would thrive in a calm home with older kids and, ideally, another dog to help guide her. She came to us unsure of the world, but with love and patience, she’s blossoming into the sweetest companion. Fran is proof that a little kindness goes a long way.

I adopted her from the Fredericksburg SPCA about two years ago. She is three years old. She is very lovable and protective over her people, She would be best in a home without any other animals. She will adjust with other animals it just takes a bit of work, I hate to have to give her away I love her so much she is an amazing dog, but due to unfortunate circumstances the place I had for her to go fell through, and I’m in the process of enlisting in Air Force and can be called to ship out any day.
