Story
Meet Vinny! He may look serious, but the only thing Vinny takes seriously are snuggles and squeaky toys! Vinny likes a good walk where he can check out the sites and meet all the people. He may give a tug when excited but is responsive to correction. Vinny will `sit` for treats and takes them gently once offered. He loves toys! Especially if a squeaker is involved. Vinny`s very favorite things are cuddles and belly rubs. He is a social pup and will ask for both within minutes of meeting you. Vinny shows appropriate and playful behavior toward other dogs and also shows strong signs of being house-trained. He would make a great addition into any home. Come in and meet him today!

Meet Applesauce! This confident and curious pup is looking for his perfect home! Applesauce has come a long way in learning his leash manners. He will still give an occasional tug but is responding well to positive reinforcement. Applesauce is picky about what treats he likes, but when you find the right one, he will retrieve it gently. He is more interested in exploring his surroundings and watching the other dogs than in playing with toys. Applesauce likes to sit next to his person and get pets and affection. He is a strong pup who would do best with an owner who will continue his training. Come in and meet him today!

Meet Powder Puff!! This playful and athletic pup is looking for an active family! Puff is working on her leash manners and improving every day. She would be a great match for a jogger or runner. Puff is gentle when taking treats and won`t jump. She follows the command for `sit`. Puff likes to chase after anything you throw. She probably won`t return it, but it`s fun to watch her sprint! Puff shows playful and appropriate energy toward other dogs and would likely do well with a playmate (meet and greet required). She doesn`t mind being groomed and cleaned off. Puff is an energetic sweetheart! Come in and meet her today!

Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Aria is a 1.5-year-old loving, high-energy, sweet, pit mix. She is crate trained and knows base commands (sit, eat, wait, etc.) and behaves very well once she's had a chance to play to release energy, so I'd definitely recommend a large yard. Her high energy levels can make her hard to manage so she needs an experienced owner who is prepared to give her time and attention. She plays well with young children and other animals, as long as she is supervised, to help make sure she doesn't get too excited or forget her size. I have been her only owner and had her since she was about 6 weeks, she is spayed and hasn't had any health concerns or incidents of aggression or biting. She has a very stern bark and gives good notice of anyone approaching the property. We are looking to give her to a long-term owner in preparation for an upcoming move as we will no longer be able to house her.

Story
I love this boy but I am moving out but currently live with my mom, she doesn't wish to keep him and the place I am going I won't be able to bring him due to breed and size, I also won't be able to afford any other area to find one that will, I am moving out because a mentally abusive relationship with mt mother, she is also just as bad to him when she wants to be, Moose loves snuggles and being outside, he will bark to go outside, he is good with other dogs and grew up with a doxin and a lab both smaller then him, he does not have any papers or shots due to my mom not wanting to get them when I was in high school, and still does not have them because I personally cannot afford to take care of him and I know he deserves better

Portsmouth, VA
Size

Good with cats, Needs special attention, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
We now have three little kids, and we can't properly care for Neela anymore. She's very friendly and playful, and beyond the excitement of initial greetings, she tends not to crowd or be overly needy for attention. She likes to chase squirrels and lay in the sun or on her bed inside. She looks perfectly healthy, but a few years ago we were told that her liver is too small. It could possibly be surgically corrected, but we can't afford the surgery. So, we've been managing it with prescription food. If you want a dog that loves car rides and being out and about with you as well as chilling lazily around the house, Neela is perfect. She's especially good out on a leash because she doesn't excite easily at the sight of other dogs.

Story
Hi everyone, my name is Chewie and as you can see, I am a total snuggle bug. I am in foster where they report that I am perfectly potty trained, do well with the resident cat, and learning how to be a proper gentleman from the resident female dog. I was so nervous and shut down at the shelter but I`m really letting my true colors show more and more now that I`m decompressing. I am described as affectionate, couch potato, and a lapdog. My foster says `I can`t get over how much love Chewie has to give! He is the most affectionate dog I`ve ever met.`Want to know more about me? Come visit the shelter during adoption hours to set up a play date at the shelter with me!

Story
Meet Marshall! This sweet pup is very shy and will take some time to warm up. When we first met him, Marshall did not know how to walk on a leash and had limited socialization. He has come a very long way but will need an owner who is willing to continue working with him. Marshall walks well on a leash once he has it on. He may get startled at loud noises or unfamiliar places and will stick next to his person for reassurance. Marshall likes all kinds of treats and will accept them gently. He is slowly becoming curious about toys and wants to play but isn`t quite sure how. Marshall would do best in a quiet home with all adults or children over age 15 who will be patient with him. He is a wonderful pup and just needs someone to love him with the patience that he deserves. Come in and meet him today!

I have had Remy since he was 8 weeks old. I acquired him from a breeder in Bremerton, WA. Remy will be 3 years old on October 12th.
