Story
Hello, I’m Hazel, a 5-year-old American Bulldog mix with a white and tan coat and a big smile. I’m a playful and sweet girl who loves to have fun and cuddle with my people. I’m spayed, vaccinated, and heartworm negative. I’m house and crate trained, but I need some help learning to walk better on a leash. I get so excited to go for walks, and I’m very strong which means I can pull hard. I need an owner who can handle me and teach me some manners. I’m good with older children and other dogs, especially mellow ones. We don’t know how I feel about cats, but I can be cat-tested if you want. I have a lot of energy and I like to run around and play with balls. But I also like to relax and nap in my own space. I have a large kennel where I feel comfortable and safe. I don’t like to be outdoors for too long, I prefer to be inside with my people. I’m afraid of being abandoned, so I don’t like to go far from home. I have some digestive issues, so I need a special diet of lamb and rice. I also need to be crated when I’m not supervised, because I can chew on things. I’m a big girl, about 77 pounds, and I can be clumsy sometimes. I would not do well with small kids, because I might knock them over. But if you are used to large dogs, you will love me. I’m a gentle giant who just wants to be loved. I have a lot of potential and I’m ready to show you what a great dog I can be. I’m being fostered in New Kent, VA but I can be transported to other states for the right home. If you think you are the one for me, please fill out an application and let’s meet. Must be at least 21 years old to apply. I can’t wait to see you!

Story
Hi there, I'm Jace, a white and brown bulldog mix. I'm 55 pounds and as sweet as ever. I love nothing more than to snuggle up next to somebody and get belly rubs and head scratches. I'm also smart and have been working on sit, down, and leave it. I could learn more commands as I'm a motivated learner. Anything for a treat! My favorite toys include a Kong filled with kibble or peanut butter, bones, and stuffed animals. I like to play fetch (although I don’t always want to give the ball back) and tug of war! I would do great as somebody’s best friend. I like to follow you around the house and chill with you. I’m a goober! I don’t quite understand my size and will try to sit directly in your lap just to be close. I'm working potty and crate training but walk great on the leash. I'm not good with dogs, likely out of fear rather than true aggression. I was chained in a yard for most of my life before I was rescued. I was nothing but skin and bones from starvation which has now caused me to guard my food. I love cats except if they come around my food. One side of my face will never fill in due to what the vet thinks is an old injury, but that doesn't stop me from being a cuddly lover. I am neutered and vaccinated. I was heartworm positive, but I've completed treatment. I'm currently in Hampton, VA but I can be transported out of state for the right home. Please note, there may be a transport fee if volunteer transport cannot be arranged. If you're looking for a loving companion, I'm here for you!

Story
Hi there, I’m Tommy, a 4-year-old, 60 lb., American Bulldog mix. I have a handsome white coat with a brown left ear that makes me stand out from the crowd. I’m a friendly and loyal boy who loves people and attention. I came from Miami-Dade, Florida in 2020, thanks to Operation Save a Shelter Dog. They rescued me from the streets when I was very skinny and hungry, and a big storm was coming. They gave me a second chance at life and I’m so grateful for that. I’m a smart and obedient boy who knows basic commands and walks well on a leash. I’m also crate-trained and housebroken. I love treats and I’m very food motivated, which helps motivate me when training. I’m always eager to please my humans and get praised for being a good boy. I have some issues with other animals, though. Because of my past, I can be reactive to other dogs. I’ve been working on this, and I can tolerate dogs in small doses, but I need slow and careful introductions. I also have a strong prey drive, so I can’t live with small dogs, cats, or other critters. I need to be your only pet, please. I also guard my food, so I eat in my crate where I can feel safe. I’m fine with treats, though. I’m good with older children who I can goof around with that will also play nicely with me. I love to goof around and have fun. I need a home with a savvy handler who can give me a job, practice my training, help me feel safe, and grow my confidence. I’m up to date on vaccines, neutered, and in great health. I’m currently being fostered in Hampton, VA, but I can be transported out of state for the right home. If you are interested in adopting me, complete an application today! I can’t wait to meet you and start our new adventure together. *Must be 21 or older to apply.

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
