Story
Steel arrived at the shelter as a fearful stray, but with time, patience, and kindness, he has truly blossomed into a fun-loving, affectionate companion. Once he trusts you, Steel’s favorite things in the world are cuddling close and giving enthusiastic kisses!This smart boy already knows how to sit and shake your hand, and his sharp mind means he’s primed to learn so much more. Steel’s absolute favorite toy is a ball—toss it, and he transforms into a joyful, goofy pup in seconds. Because he can still be fearful and has a rough play style, Steel would do best in a home without young children. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving dog with tons of potential and an even bigger heart, Steel is ready to meet his person.If you are interested in meeting Steel, please visit the shelter during our open hours; Mon, Tues, Wed, Fri 10a-12:30p & 2p-4p, Thurs 10a-12:30p & 2p-6:30p, and Saturday 9a-1p.

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.All of the animals posted on our site have been temperament tested. While not all are in the immediate area, once we have processed and approved your application, we will move the dog to our adoptive area for you to meet, greet and hopefully adopt. Sometimes we will have more than one application on a dog. That does not mean it automatically goes to another family but you should be aware of the fact that until you are approved and set up for the meet/greet.. the dog could get adopted by another applicant.NOTE- DIAMOND IS LISTED AS A COURTESY FOR ANOTHER RESCUE ORGANIZATION. PLEASE SEE CONTACT INFO BELOW.CONTACT DEE AT k9rescueva@gmail.comDiamond is a beautiful, sweet, and affectionate blue pittie girl.  She is the SWEETEST thing. She seems to be a very low key lady. She is often catching a snooze in her bed. When briefly in foster she was a couch potato and did well with crate training! She does prefer to be the only pup in your life. She LOVES a good belly rub and butt scratch. Diamond gives kisses and will 'paw' you if you stop petting, she loves to lean against you for her scratches.Diamond now weighs about 70 lbs.  Diamond is quiet and reserved, and will bond quickly with her humans.  Diamond is dog-reactive and defensive when meeting other dogs, and shows a high prey drive for small fuzzy animals (cats, squirrels, possums,etc.);  she should not live with other pets.  Diamond is a big girl, and pulls strongly on her leash, she needs obedience and leash training.  She cannot go to dog parks, and must be handled carefully on walks where she may encounter other animals.  She's not actively aggressive, but will not back down if another dog acts aggressive towards her.  She would thrive in a home with a fenced in yard.  She just needs a home where she can focus on her people, and just give them all her love for years to come.  Diamond needs an experienced bully owner who understands the breed, and is willing to work with her.  IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN ADOPTING DIAMOND, PLEASE CONTACT: DEE AT k9rescueva@gmail.comVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.October 22, 2025, 1:22 am

Story
Meet Ham, the 4-year-old bully mix who’s every bit as charming as his name suggests! With a huge, blocky head and a goofy, lovable personality, Ham is the kind of dog who can brighten any room just by trotting into it.Full of strength, energy, and enthusiasm, Ham would thrive in an active home where he can get plenty of playtime, adventures, and exercise. He’s a smart boy, too—he already knows “sit,” “lay down,” and “drop it”—and he’s always eager to show off his skills in exchange for a treat. Toys are his love language, and he never turns down a good game or a new squeaky friend.Ham’s big body and big personality mean he’ll do best in a home without smaller children, where he can enjoy life with adults or older kids who understand his playful power.If you’re looking for a sweet, silly companion with tons of love (and muscle!) to give, Ham is your guy.If you are interested in meeting Ham, please visit the shelter during our open hours; Mon, Tues, Wed, Fri 10a-12:30p & 2p-4p, Thurs 10a-12:30p & 2p-6:30p, and Saturday 9a-1p.

Story
Meet Cody!!! Two months ago, Cody’s world turned upside down when his owner abandoned him. We couldn’t let this sweet boy face life alone, so we opened our hearts and home to him. Cody is about 1 year old, a handsome terrier mix with a big personality packed into a medium-sized frame. He’s full of energy and loves to keep busy zooming around the house, chasing balls, and proudly carrying his favorite bone. When playtime is over, Cody melts into your lap for back rubs and snuggles. He’s crate-trained, barely barks, and has the kind of lovable spirit that makes every day brighter. Here’s the thing: Cody needs a home where someone can give him the time and attention he deserves. We’re used to smaller dogs, and while we adore him, we know he’d thrive with an active family.

Ellie is a sweet little hippo that likes mostly ladies but a few men. She'd be a great match for a single woman or a lesbian couple. She is not a great match for children. Once Ellie trusts you, she's the sweetest girl on earth. She loves to be held and will allow you to do anything with her. She does not like other dogs.
