Story
Diamond is a beautiful, sweet blue Bully Girl who is a sweetheart, she is around 6 years old and weighs 65 lbs. She has had too many litters in her short life, but now she's on the mend. She’s such a sweet, humble girl. It was hard to get good pics because she just wanted to snuggle. She loves her toys and chew bones. 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, retired or family. She fits all bills! Ask for her video. She would thrive in a home with a fenced in 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 is dog reactive 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 with her people and she will be the Diamond she was meant to be. Ask for her videos! Email blueridgedogrescue@gmail.com with questions or to schedule a meeting.

Story
Holly is a cute, affectionate and active young dog, look at those ears ! She doesn't miss anything. She loves people, but should ideally only live with adults and older children due to her activity level. She is dog selective in a defensive way, she becomes uneasy when an unknown dog approaches. Her new owner(s) would ideally be experienced with bully breed dogs. She is very active and will need an owner(s) who can give her enough exercise to wear her out, like a runner !! She needs a securely fenced yard with a 6 ft privacy fence, as she likes to leap and jump in her play. She is about 4 yrs old and 35 lbs, a great snuggle size; she's also good on a leash. She's been fully vetted, including spay, vaccines and deworming. She's very playful and loves her toys including old buckets, balls, kongs, antlers, beef bones and anything that can be thrown or she can kick around. She's sweet and playful, and will make a great pet for the right person. Please contact us with any questions, and to meet this sweet girl.

Male, 3 yrs 1 mo

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Mr. Cupcake, affectionately known as Cuppie, is a 60-pound pit bull with a heart as soft as his name. At first glance, his unevenly cropped ears and big blocky head might make some people hesitate, but spend just a few minutes with him and you'll quickly discover that he's nothing more than a giant teddy bear. Cuppie spent most of his life outdoors and recently came into our program after his owner passed away. Despite his rough start, he greeted us with nothing but kindness. The first time we met him, he walked right over, tail wagging, and planted himself at our feet, happy to make a new friend. Since then, he has continued to show us just how gentle and loving he truly is. Cuppie rides beautifully in the car and walks nicely on a leash, despite likely having had very little practice with either. We've been told he may be house trained, and he has previously lived around female dogs without issue. We will continue to evaluate him and learn more about his preferences as he settles into foster care. Currently, Cuppie is receiving veterinary care to address some long-neglected medical needs, including ear infections, vaccines, and a much-needed spa day. Once he's feeling his best, we'll know even more about what his ideal forever home looks like. What we do know is this: Cuppie is a loving, affectionate soul who simply wants to be part of a family. He's the kind of dog who will happily sit at your feet, lean into your affection, and remind you every day that second chances are worth taking. If you're looking for a loyal companion with a gentle heart and plenty of love to give, Mr. Cupcake just might be your guy.

Good with kids, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Hello! This is my 7-8yr old pit Zena. I originally got her for my mom in 2019. But she has recently passed. She is used to a bigger fenced in back yard and has always gotten along with our other dogs including fostered ones. But is now homed with me in a one bedroom apt. And does not seem to get along with any dogs around the complex. And will go crazy if she sees one (which is extremely stressful for me), although she is a complete sweetheart with just a bit of an attitude. She's extremely playful but will sleep a lot too. She's very smart, but also like a box of rocks at times. Will sit, shake, and im sure more. Im very emotionally attached to this dog and have contemplated this decision for 6-8 months. But I would love for her to live a bit more of a fulfilling and fun life. Im dealing with mental health problems and am struggling to keep up with her needs and I fear she's becoming a bit sad. I truly just wish for her to be happy again and get all the love and exercise she needs.
