Story
"Hi there! I'm called Rain, because at just 9 months old, I was found chained to a tree in the pouring rain, with only a plastic dog carrier as shelter. I was a bit scared when I got here, but I'm happy now! I absolutely adore belly rubs, treats, and lively games of tug of war with my favorite toy. I am very well behaved because I work with a trainer every week! I must say, I'm doing so well!!! She says I'm incredibly attentive and have learned so much already. These are her exact words: "Rain is VERY sweet and has a strong willingness to please. She is treat motivated, which is great for training. She loves to play fetch and enjoys a good scratch on her chest. She has come a long way and does really well with calm children, men and women. She will probably be good with other dogs, though we definitely need to do a meet-n-greet. She is curious about cats, so we will test her more if folks request that. She does bark when she gets excited, but she has been learning that barking once is enough. She will do best with a family that is willing to continue working with her puppy-like tendencies. There will be free ongoing training sessions from me to whoever adopts her." "Isn't it nice she said all that? We get FREE training! I've already mastered the art of sitting, walk nicely on a leash, and know other manners as well! I'm determined to absorb every bit of love and training, so that I can be the very best little girl in a forever home of my own. Could you be that special family for me?" ........

Story
Words from Baxter himself: Hi! My name is Baxter and I came from a neglectful situation. None-the-less, I am a happy-go-lucky, loving boy. Only about a year old, I LOVE people. I love it when they scratch my chest. I love running to them when they call, and I like walking on a leash. I may pull a bit (BUT I hear the say that I respond to corrections, and will do well with a training collar or no-pull harness.) I'm not a super big dog...kinda short actually, but a beefcake for sure! If you are looking for an outgoing buddy to run with, play with and cuddle with, I'm your guy! I LOVE hoomans! p.s. I'm scared of water. ........ We do ADOPTIONS BY APPOINTMENT ONLY. Send us a message here OR email us at macoupincountyac@gmail.com.

Story
"I'm Jackson, a stately 8-year-old pup. Folks say I have the most enchanting eyes and a perpetual grin that lights up my graying face. My journey here started when a kind soul brought me to the Staunton PD, saying I was a stray. Hard to understand how this happened to me, but praying someone will take a shine to an old dog with lots to offer. My hobbies are commands like sit and down, and nothing brings me more joy than belly rubs! I'm a big fan of rolling on my back and showing off my playful side; it's my way of keeping things light and entertaining. I recently went to the groomer and did GREAT! I loved every minute of my spa day. Now, when it comes to other furry friends, I have to admit I'm not fond of those feline creatures. Otherwise.. I'm a gentle soul, great with kids, and always ready for some fun and love. If you're looking for a charming older gentleman with lots of love to give, please consider me: Jackson." ........

Story
Mufasa came to us in June. Around 2 years old, he is a sweet, goofy and busy boy, as you can tell by his photos! He gets along with other dogs, and loves people. (We do not know for sure about cats, but our first impression is that he'd do okay with them. We can test him if you like!) He knows how to sit and is very treat motivated---making him easy to train! He pulls a bit on a leash, but after he's walked a while, he settles down. If you are looking for a cute, silly boy, Mufasa is for you! . ...... We do ADOPTIONS BY APPOINTMENT ONLY.
