Story
Meet Nipsey! This special little dude is a staff favorite. Nip Nip as he is affectionately known, would love a nice quiet home with someone that is dog savvy and has patience. His ideal home would be with a single lady looking for love. He is a ladies man for sure. But he is not limited to a single lady home. He is treat motivated but is still learning to take treats nicely. Children would not be best for him while he has had a less than fortunate past. Previously, Nipsey was not given proper medical care. Which caused him to lose a significant amount of weight. He was brought back to us as part of a neglect case. He is learning that food is a positive thing and he will never go hungry again. Nipsey enjoys long walks, snuggling, smiling and TREATS! He is crate trained but he prefers to hangout on his bed while he waits for you at home. If you have another dog in the home we would definitely have to let them meet first to make sure they have like energy and get along. If you are interested in our boy, please ask to meet Nipsey today. He is most likely hanging out in an office, no worries though, we would be happy to bring him out to meet you.

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.comNovember 3, 2024, 9:38 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. If you have not received a response, please check your spam/junk folder. .. Meet Zeus: Your Future Best Friend! Looking for a happy, silly, snuggly meathead to steal your heart (and your couch)? 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
