Story
Spot is incredibly affectionate and is prone to being initially timid/ shy. He loves a chew toy and is willing to bring you a token for your presence each time you return into his presence. Typically, a shoe or a blanket or a towel… I’ve always chalked up to him offering a gift. He’s likely to demand you scratch him as he’ll back into your leg and rub his rump till you concede.

Story
Location: Scottsville, VAMy name is Roscoe. What's yours? I’m a happy, sweet guy and they say I’m a bulldog mix around 7-8 years of age. I love car rides, running, playing with toys and back scratches! I’m also crate trained, sleep through the night and know basic commands like sit and lie down! Do you like going on long walks? I love them! I love human companions, snuggling and kisses. I just wish I had a family of my own. Volunteers here at Finally Home love playing with me and taking me on hikes! Due to the fact that I wasn’t properly socialized as a younger dog, other animals scare and confuse me so I’m dog selective and need to be the only animal in the home. It’s not my fault but it’s held me back as I have been searching for my forever home for over a year. I hope that there is still the perfect person out there looking for a special dog like me to love! Roscoe is: *UTD on shots *Neutered *Current on flea and tick and heartworm medication.

Story
Location: Gloucester, VAHiya Handsome! That's what you might say when you meet this fine young fella. This is Fester, a sweet and well behaved dog at the pound. For being such a big fella, he is gentle and calm. He is happy to go walking with the volunteers, happy to meet other dogs, and is quite easily redirected if something sparks his curiosity. He is big and he is strong, so he needs someone who is comfortable with that. He is about two years old so old enough to know the basics and young enough to learn the rules of the road. Fester is smart, sweet and anxious to please. He knows several "tricks" and is happy to show off, then gently takes treats. He appears to be house trained, is happy and healthy, and ready for his new forever home. He is move in ready and would do well as either an only pet situation or with doggy siblings. Cats are an unknown He stays close to you when he is walking and would love to be your lapdog. Please come meet this fine pup, he would love to win your heart.

Story
Attention all Bulldog lovers!     This adorable Bulldog named Sweet Tart is in search of her forever home. She may be a bit bossy, but she's also housebroken and crate trained (although she's not a fan of the crate), she is also great for baths and getting her nails trimmed. One thing is she absolutely adores is food - she can't get enough of it! However, she would do best in a home without small children, and if there are other furry friends, she'll need to be fed separately. While she may not fully grasp the concept of playing with other dogs, she loves to snuggle up to them.     Sweet Tart is known around the house for her slobbery kisses and will gladly climb onto your lap with her bulky body. With her stubborn and delightfully demanding bulldog personality, she's not afraid to bark and demand her meals when she thinks they're overdue. Her tongue is always hanging out, adding to her irresistibly cute appearance, especially when combined with her adorable underbite.    And if that's not enough, she also comes with the bonus of mystery allergies-thanks to some Benadryl it is easily controlled.     This sweet old gal has come a long way, and we're thrilled to see her find the loving home she deserves after all this time. If you are interested in adopting Sweet Tart, please fill out an application today!September 29, 2024, 9:51 pm

Story
Dre is a two year old American Bulldog. He is 55 pounds and muscular. I always get comments on what a good looking dog he is. He is playful and friendly. He is up to date on all shots, including a flu shot, and neutered. I acquired him from a previous relationship and the owner can no longer take care of him. Dre loves to sleep, play, chew, and go on car rides. He'll play fetch, play with toys, and is good with other dogs. He is responsive to treats as a reward. I've also used one of those collars that beeps or vibrates and he is also responsive to that. I have a Cavalier King Charles that he is good with. They play, but Dre is careful to not hurt him. I would consider Dre the dominant of the two. He tends to bark and jump when people come in the house as he gets excited. It only lasts for a couple of minutes and then he calms down, but I have not been able to break that habit.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Melo has never had a home of his own. The Furever Project basically saved Melo from the jaws of death as he was getting ready to be euthanized. Melo gets along with other dogs of various sizes. He lives with several dogs in his foster home. He has been introduced to cats and seemed to do well with them. If an applicant has cats, Melo will need to meet them to see if everyone gets along. Melo also does well with children. He lives with a little human who is under 2-years old. Melo is very smart and learns quickly. His foster mom is a trainer and Melo has perfected all the basic commands (sit, down, watch me, leave it, stay, a release command, wait and come). Also, in April 2023, Melo successfully completed a positive reinforcement board and train. At almost 3-years old, Melo is an energetic dog and needs an active vs. a sedentary lifestyle. He would enjoy, and be most successful living with, an active individual or family. He loves being outdoors and would be a great hiking partner, running partner, or a dedicated long distance walking partner. If you’re not a hiker, runner, or long-distance walker……. regular daily walks, playing fetch, chasing a frisbee, or other outdoor activities would also do the trick to successfully lower Melo’s energy. Melo does need a home where he will get strong, consistent direction and follow through. Melo is comfortable and quiet being in a crate and with a simple command “crate” goes in and out with ease and he is completely housebroken. If Melo sounds like he'd be a good fit for your home, please apply to adopt him today!Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.October 7, 2024, 3:22 pm

Story
Herbie is a lovable 70-pound Boxer mix with a heart full of gold. About a year old, he was found wandering the back roads of Tennessee without a collar or microchip, battling a tough case of mange. While no one has come forward to claim him, Herbie is now looking for his forever family! His skin is healing beautifully, and his sweet, curious nature shines through more each day. ‍&#226&#153&#130&#239&#184&#143 Herbie enjoys his daily walks and is getting better at leash manners. He’s also learning to curb his excitement when greeting people! He’s great with other dogs and, after playtime, is happy to sit quietly by your side. He hasn’t been tested with cats or kids yet, but we think his gentle personality would be a great match for the right home!

She has bursts of play but is mainly a calm dog. She is all about being by her person and wanting the love. Now, for men, some she loves and some she has to take a minute to relax around.  Snow currently lives with an 80 pound male and a 23 pound female companion. She can be a sassy thing and wants what she wants - a tiny bit of a diva in there. She has met other playful dogs and done well. She also has hung out with another 100 pound male lab. Took her a second to realize he was a lover not a fighter but they are now fast friends. Snow needs a six foot privacy fence for her backyard space.
