BULLDOG FANATICS - HERE YOU GO!   BIG HEAVY - 2 years old, 100 pounds, good with some dogs & kids, house trained.  Big Heavy was surrendered when his owners were moving and couldn't take him.  He is known to be friendly and playful with kids over 6 years old.   He has not been around other dogs as we are told they can make him nervous.  Please bring in any resident dog and let's have a meet and greet! He might be ok with a calm and more respectful dog. In any case, please be ready to supervise.   Big Heavy is said to be kind, loving, and playful.   He is also smart, active, and loves to go on walks. He is used to going on 4 walks a day believe it or not! *His size does not really show this though. LOL Yep, he is a big boy. Big Heavy was able to free roam in his previous home with no issues sleeping in his dog bed at night.  He is hanging in a back kennel for now so just come in and ask to meet him!Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.October 10, 2025, 7:35 am

Story
This lovely & spunky little lady here is Maeve! Maeve is a Bulldog & she unfortunately has been diagnosed with Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Disease associated with being a flat-faced breed. Due to the risk of the inflammation of her airway worsening(especially with stress, heat, etc.), any potential adopters will be required to have experience with brachycephalic breeds! While Maeve is quite food motivated(she loves her food!), she does have a history of GI issues. Being mindful of treats, not changing food too quickly or too often, reinforcing potty training & crate training are all going to be very important habits to ensure her successful transition to a home setting! Lastly, due to her spinal structure anyone interested in adopting would need to be ready for a potential for joint supplements sometime in her future to keep her mobility healthy & pain free! If you have any questions about Maeve or anything listed above, or if you would like to visit this sweet, lovely, & playful little lady here then our amazing Kennel Staff would be happy to assist!

TITAN - 1-5 years old, 50 pounds, nervous Short, stout and round...our new VBACAC resident TITAN has found himself behind shelter bars due to no fault of his own and he is not happy about it. He's nervous, sits back far in his kennel just looking around. He did, however, approach the door when I opened it and allowed me to leash him and walk him out. When we got to the yard, I let him go. He investigated, took everything in and proceeded to run the perimeter as if looking for a way out. Titan is super cute with his bulldog squishy face, short legs and half a tail. Yep, that's half a tail. Just look for yourself! He has dark black fur with a thick line of white on his chest. Bulldogs have their own personality, they can literally be bullies! LOL Please do some research on the breed and then determine if this breed fits with your lifestyle. Given time and attention, Titan will surely come out of his shell so come on out to meet him! He is currently in a back kennel so if you don't see him, please just ask.   Titan was surrendered when his owner could no longer care for. He is a handsome American bulldog mix and is very worried here in the shelter. The previous owner stated he doesn't like mowers or vacuums (finds them scary!) He has been known to not get along well with other dogs and chases small animals so may do best as the only pet in the home. He has also exhibited some guarding tendencies with his favorite toys so an adult-only home would likely suit him best.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.May 29, 2025, 10:26 am

BLUEBERRY - 4 years old, 26 pounds BLUEBERRY arrived at VBACAC as a stray. Her over-the-top cuteness and personality got her adopted quickly but now she's back! She is a feisty gal who loves loves loves attention. Blueberry loves being outside and this rambunctious gal loves being around her people. Blueberry is looking for a family ready, willing and able to train her out of her puppy-like behaviors. She can and has slipped her collar and leash so are you ready to make sure that her collar is on good and she's not able to get out of it again? Blueberry will keep you on your toes. Blueberry needs multiple walks but still has accidents in the house. She might (not intentionally) chew on furniture or destroy things in the house. We believe this behavior is related to her high energy. She's an active and silly girl who needs a lot of exercise and playtime. Blueberry might be nervous when riding in a car, too. We are recommending an adult-only home or a home with older kids, as she has shown signs of resource guarding. If you have another dog, you can bring them in to meet. Stop by any day between 12-5 to learn more!Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.June 30, 2025, 5:21 pm

PUPPY - 2 1/2 years old, 80 pounds, STAFF & VOLUNTEER FAVE!, house trained, good with kids, only pet, needs special care for allergies including baths and a salmon diet, pulls on leash.   PUPPY is a sweet and active big boy. The first thing you notice about him is that he looks pink…. Yep, PINK. He has very thin short white fur which doesn't hide the pink.    Puppy is house trained and said to be good with kids although he can be a rough player!   He is happy, friendly, and playful! A bit of a lounger…. He wouldn’t mind being your couch potato buddy or even laying at your feet enjoying the company!   Puppy is used to being walked several times a day and when on these walks, he seems to look for little critters to chase like bunnies, squirrels, etc.   He will need supervision when outside and secure fence as he was able to escape the yard a few times, but we know he doesn’t mind being leash walked!   Puppy is currently in our large dog adoption kennel so if you are interested in meeting him, come on out!   We are open daily 12-5 pm and located at 341 S Birdneck Road, VB.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.September 1, 2025, 12:22 pm

MERCEDES - 10+ years old, 45 pounds, house trained, crate trained, friendly, moderate energy   Mercedes is a sweet senior girl looking for a calm, cuddly retirement home.    She was adopted from us a long time ago but has found her way back after her most recent owners had to surrender her due to apartment restrictions.    She is house trained and loves going for walks.   Mercedes has moderate energy so running and playing last only so long. I was happy to see some of that energy when we were together. She ran around the yard jubilantly as if she were a puppy.   Her smile made me smile and it will do the same to you!  Oh, and she was perfect on the leash, too!   Mercedes prefers older kids as she is known to tolerate children along with other dogs and cats. Slow and proper introductions are important for her.   She is crate trained along with being house trained.   Come on in to meet this pretty grey muzzle girl! Bring in any resident dog for a meet and greet and please be ready to supervise.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.August 17, 2025, 9:39 am

DAISY MAE - 1 year old, 54 pounds, house trained,  Daisy is still a puppy at barely a year old and surrendered when her owner could no longer care for her.  She has tons of energy and is very playful.  She loves all kinds of toys, balls, squeaky, plush & tug. Although we are told she is good with children, we are recommending an adult only home as she can be rough with kids and has a tendency to guard high value items. She likes other dogs but does play very rough and will guard items from them. Daisy was barky at first but then out in the yard, she loved running and running and running, chasing tennis balls, stopping for treats and then running and chasing some more. Daisy Mae is looking for a very active family who will provide plenty of exercise, playtime and training to help curb some of her guarding issues. She is a hoot and in the right home, she will thrive. Daisy Mae is currently in our medium dog adoption kennel so just ask to meet her!Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.July 21, 2025, 10:54 am

BOLT - 3 years old, 60 pounds, house trained, good with kids, dog selective, no cats Bolt is a young, handsome, large mixed breed boy. His black thick fur is soft. He has pretty amber eyes and along with white on his chest, he has a touch of white on a couple of his paws. Arriving bc his owner was in the military and had no one else to care for him, Bolt is nervous behind the cage bars. He stares and backs away. Once outside, however, he is a fun and friendly boy. He came right up to me, sniffed and licked my hand. So silly! It took him a few minutes to get used to the other dogs in playgroup. He let them know when they were too much for him.  *We vet our playgroup dogs so they all listened to him and backed away when he corrected them. After a short time, he was initiating chasing play with others. *We are recommending Bolt be an only pet. He has been known to get into trouble if left unattended so crate training is a good idea as he will steal food from counter tops and chew up paper. Bolt loves to play with toys including balls and tough toys. He will rip up stuffed ones. Bolt is currently in a back kennel so if you come in and don't see him, please just ask!Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.June 19, 2025, 3:03 pm
