Story
Hello meet Lady! 3 years old (old English bull dog mix, not spayed). I have been fostering her for about almost two months now. A gentlemen reached out to my aunt seeking new home for her because he was moving and couldnt take her! To avoid her going to the animal shelter I took her in to foster and or keep. She’s a sweet dog non reactive. She is not very physically active although I have gotten her to lose a few pounds since having her because she was overweight. I mostly keep my dogs outdoors unless there is extreme weather and she is not a huge fan ( definitely an indoor dog). Again she is very chill and affectionate. Mostly wants to lay around near you. She isn’t a fan of early mornings either! She loves affection and relaxing and would do better in a slower paced home !

Story
Meet Scar! Don`t be fooled by his size or appearance, Scar is 100% sweetheart! This sweet boy was surrendered because his owner`s had to move. Scar is a very social pup who likes people and also does very well living with babies and young children - especially if they share their snacks! He is house and crate-trained and is excellent when left alone. Scar has lived with dogs and cats and does well with both, although he prefers cats. He loves toys!! Scar will take a toy from you gently and then the play time begins! He also knows how to `sit` for treats and will take them from your hand very gently. Scar needs a playful home with a comfy couch! Come meet this good boy today!

Story
Even though Odie was abandoned by his previous family, he still loves people.  He gets along with other dogs and children.  He is high energy and hasn't learned to meet other dogs.  He can be a bit intimidating to other dogs.  His foster brother is a small 13 yr old rat terrier and Odie loves to sleep with him.  It takes a slow introduction for him to settle down.   If you want a hiking or camping buddy, Odie is your guy.  Playing fetch and tug are also favorite things that he likes.  He would love a family who would treat him like a family member.  .  He has already had his dental and is ready to start his new life as a family member.  If you are interested, please contact Rainbow Rescue at 757-472-1583 or rainbowanimalrescueva@gmail.comMarch 10, 2026, 12:08 am

Please do not submit an app or inquiry before reading this dog's bio in its entirety. We reply to ALL emails within 72 hours.

Look no further—Zeus just might be your guy. This 65 lb goofball is all muscle and all love. He’s sweet, affectionate, and always ready for a cuddle or a lazy nap after a walk outside, where he loves to just sit and watch the world go by. Zeus isn’t meant for a dainty life. He’s looking for a home that embraces his “bull in a china shop” energy and understands he doesn’t always know his own strength. Because of this, he’ll do best in a home without young kids. He’s also a bit too much for most other pets, so Zeus would love to be your one and only—and trust us, he’s got plenty of love to give! Zeus has some vet anxiety and isn’t a fan of being restrained, but he’s made huge progress and just needs someone willing to take things slow and earn his trust. If you’re ready for a goofy, snuggly, loyal best friend who will keep you laughing every single day, adopt Zeus! Symbiotic Inc has a required minimum $360 adoption donation upon the completion of the adoption (it is tax deductible!) All dog adoptions include a required one hour virtual session with our partners at Lucky Dogs. This session is at no additional charge www.LuckyDogstraining.net If you think this dog may be a good fit for your family, please visit our website and find out more about our application process. https://symbioticinc.org/adoption-application
