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!December 2, 2024, 4:26 pm

Story
Meet Cosmo – Your New Best Friend with a Built-in Alarm System! Looking for a housemate who's handsome, loyal, and always down for a cuddle (or a zoomie)? Cosmo is a compact sized bundle of love, bark, and personality, looking for his forever home! Cosmo is the perfect house dog — just the right size to fit comfortably into your life, with a bark big enough to make delivery drivers think twice. He's got that beefy presence that says "security system," but don’t worry — with people, he's a total softie. With the spirit of a pup and medium energy levels, Cosmo is fun, just the right mix of playful and chill.” A morning trot and an evening zoomie (bonus points if there’s a fenced yard!) are enough to keep him happy. After that? He’s all about the snuggles and his well-deserved beauty sleep. He’d love to be your one-and-only pet and does best with older kids who get that being this cute is serious business. Cosmo might just be your perfect match. Come meet him — and bring snacks. He’s very food-motivated (but who isn’t?). Adopters have 30 days of free access to 1-on-1 text and email support from trainers at Petcademy to help make every pet's transition into their new home as smooth as possible. All dogs available for adoption have been spayed/neutered, microchipped and are current on all vaccinations. Please email dogs@henricohumane.org for more information.

Story
💖🐾 STOP SCROLLING — COCO LOPEZ IS STILL WAITING! 🐾💖 How is this girl still in the shelter?! Meet Coco Lopez, a 2–3-year-old, 50-pound tan-and-white bulldog mix with a one-of-a-kind look and a personality that fills the room. Coco is fun, friendly, affectionate, and spunky — the kind of dog who makes you laugh without even trying. Those adorable ears? The slightly fluffy tail? That classic wrinkly bulldog face with a perfectly pouty lip? People pay good money for that look… Coco’s giving it away for free. 😍 🐶 Why Coco Lopez Is Impossible Not to Love: Walks great on leash and enjoys getting out and about Does wonderfully walking alongside other dogs Had an absolute BLAST in free play with a male pup — zooming, hopping over and under him, and clearly living her best life Takes social cues well and adjusts when another dog says, “okay, that’s enough” Would thrive with a dog friend who can match her energetic, playful style (Meet & greets always required to ensure a good fit!) Coco is confident, joyful, and full of personality — the kind of dog who turns an ordinary day into a good one. She’s playful without being overwhelming, affectionate without being clingy, and just bursting with love for the right home. 🐱 A quick note: Coco is a little too interested in cats, so a feline-free home would be best. 💔 We’re truly amazed she’s still waiting. Coco Lopez deserves more than kennel life — she deserves a couch, a family, a playmate, and someone who looks at her and says, “How did we get so lucky?” If you’re looking for a hilarious, loving, adventure-ready companion with endless charm and heart… Coco Lopez is ready to meet you. Come give this unforgettable girl the forever home she’s been waiting for. 🐾💛

Story
Bruno is a 4yo male American Bully who is kid friendly but does not mesh well with other dogs. He's irritated easily by other male dogs specifically, but does well with female dogs. This is likely due to lack of interaction with other dogs as he has limited to no contact with other animals. He's very spoiled, affectionate, loves to cuddle, jump and eat. He loves to follow you around and literally go where you go. He loves car rides and chew toys. Bruno is trainable and knows some simple commands, I've tried training in the past but was way too costly. Bruno is fixed and up to date on all shots/records (records of service can be provided). He does not fancy visits and absolutely hate having his nails clipped!! I'm looking to rehome because I honestly cannot give him the attention he needs. I would love for him to go to a great home with family who can introduce him to the things I have failed to do so (daily walks, dog parks, exposure to other animals, etc).

These pups are in Richmond, Virginia too!

I live my life to the fullest and would love nothing more than to be your new best friend. Come on down to meet me at the SPCA today!

She's friendly, social, and always ready to make new human friends!Pittie has been working on her social skills with other dogs while in our care and could thrive in a home with another submissive male dog playmate.

Story
Are you looking for a pup who’s equal parts spunky and snuggly? Meet Bertie—an adorable little lady who approaches life with boundless enthusiasm and just the right amount of goofball energy. 🐾💕 Bertie is very toy-motivated (her motto might as well be “will work for squeakers”) and will do just about anything for a little praise. But when the zoomies are over, nothing beats curling up for snuggles with her humans. To her, it’s the “bestest” thing in the whole wide world. 🥰 She’s got pep, charm, and enough love to fill your home and your heart. Bertie also adores chasing squirrels and birds (as one does), and playing with other pups—so if you’ve got a doggy buddy for her, even better! Bertie would absolutely love a fenced backyard where she can safely chase her imaginary squirrels and soak up the sunshine. ☀️🐿️ If you’re looking for a sweet, silly, adventure-loving cuddle bug with a heart of gold, Bertie is your girl. Adopt her today—because the only thing she’s missing is you. 💛 Adopters have 30 days of free access to 1-on-1 text and email support from trainers at Petcademy to help make every pet's transition into their new home as smooth as possible. All dogs available for adoption have been spayed/neutered, microchipped and are current on all vaccinations. Please email dogs@henricohumane.org for more information.
