Story
Millie is a sweet girl that loves her belly rubbed. She is professionally trained...able to sit, stay, place, come and heel on command. She loves couch time and napping in the sun. We love Millie so much but she does not get along with our other dog. We are devastated to have to re-home her, but we have to do what is best for both dogs. Mille is a high energy 1 year old puppy that loves to zoom around the house and play with her toys. Most of Millie's time is spent outside in her enclosed doggy play area, lounging on her doggy deck or napping on the couch. Millie requires an experienced dog owner that does not have any other pets of any kind, including other dogs. Millie is also wary of strangers and can be possessive. She can overcome this anxiousness with time and patience from her owner. Millie is completely house broken and crate trained. She has been professionally trained by Stateline Canine in Hanover PA. Millie's ideal new home is a calm loving predictable environment.

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.com Diamond- adorable, sweet, loving Blue pittie girl !! Diamond is a beautiful, affectionate blue Bully Girl who is a sweetheart who is very affectionate and loves to lean up against you for a belly rub! She’s such a sweet, humble girl. It was hard to get good pics because she just wants to snuggle, hug, and kiss. She carries her toys around like they are her babies. Diamond is quiet and reserved. She would be best as an only pet as she has tons of love to give her family. She’d be a great dog for a solo or retired person or family. She fits all bills! Ask for her videos. Diamond would thrive in a home with a fenced yard. She is people focused, and is best not having to be leash-walked and can just relax in her kingdom with her people. She loves to run in the yard, and she loves to eat ! Diamond needs a life where she can focus on her people and just give them all the love in the world for years to come. She just needs a quiet home, and she will blossom. She loves all adults, and would be fine with kids. Diamond is reactive to some other dogs, but it depends on their reaction to her. She seems to like beagles and puppies especially !  email Dee at K9RescueVa@gmail.com.

She hails from the streets of Houston, TX, where she was found wandering, an unfortunately common scenario in that area. Agnes is a truly special pup in need of a fresh start with defined boundaries so that she can enjoy the world of meeting new dogs again. Aggie is sweet, silky soft, and relishes in snuggles and being close to people in general. She is very food motivated (albiet a sensitive tummy to chicken & abrupt changes in diet) and has decent recall skills (fears missing out so she always came right back whenever she had snuck out). We are confident that with consistent training, leadership and continued love, Aggie can be an excellent addition to your 'ohana' (family). Agnes is currently living in Baltimore. Her DNA report is attached. If you are interested in adopting Agnes, please contact:Jessica Cooper, email: jncooper892@gmail.comVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.January 5, 2026, 8:53 pm

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Meet this handsome 5-year-old Pit Bull! This sweet boy was surrendered to the shelter due to his owner moving, through no fault of his own. He’s a loyal, affectionate dog who bonds closely with his people and would thrive as the only animal in the home. He is crate trained, potty trained, and knows basic commands, giving him a great foundation for a smooth transition into a new home. He tends to feel more comfortable with men, but once he trusts you, he’s a devoted companion. He does need some work on leash walking and has some separation anxiety, so a patient adopter who can help him continue building confidence will be important. Because of his size and energy, he would do best in a home with older children. His absolute favorite toy is a big tennis ball, and playtime is a great way to bond with him! If you’re looking for a loyal, single-pet companion who just needs stability and love, this boy could be the perfect match.50 lbs.
