Story
Little Buddy is our last puppy that needs a home from a litter of 9. Mom (beagle mix) was rescued from a gas station in Georgia at Thanksgiving time while pregnant, we are unsure of what breed dad is. He was born December 19th making him about 5 months old. Buddy is hard of seeing and responds best to clapping and voices. He is not a fan of loud noises (I.e. lawnmowers, washing machines, dirt bikes, etc.). He is extremely energetic and loves to run, jump, play with toys, his mom & our male Pitt. Buddy also does well with chickens, he enjoys chasing them around when he hears them. I believe that he would do well in a home with other dogs that he could learn from, but could also benefit from being the only pup and getting plenty of special attention. Currently he is working on walking up a small set of stairs but is afraid of going down them.

Story
Meet Diablo! This handsome hunk was found as a stray and never claimed. Upon his arrival he hated it here! Very skittish and standoffish but now his personality has really started to shine! He is a nervous boy in his kennel but once he is out, he wide open. He is one that may require more then one meet and greet as it does sometimes take him a bit to fully open and show his full personality. He has done well with dogs he has met here( he really loves the ladies) but meet and greets are required if other dogs are in the home. His favorite things in the world are butt scratchys , treats and more butt scratchys. He is very treat motivated, he knows sit and paw that we have found out so far. When he gets super excited, he just prances around, and hops and it is adorable! He is estimated to be around 2 years old. If interested in Diablo, the shelter is open Monday-Friday 10am-3pm staff pending or you can call the shelter at 804-520-9397 ext.5 to schedule an appointment!

Story
Meet Diesel. This handsome boy is 2 years old, and very strong on the leash; he will need some training on how to walk with you and not pull you the whole time (This could be from having all his pint up energy, this could be corrected after he is out of the shelter and able to run and play more). He loves to do zoomies, so he will need a home where he can get out and run and play. He absolutely LOVES to play with toys. He did great with his dog test (leashes are left on to give us access to a quick grab if needed), but we did notice that he did not want to share his toys with her. Even after everything he has been through, he loves everyone he meets, which is awesome. We have not cat tested him yet. If you are interested in meeting this handsome boy, please give us a call at 804-520-9397 Ext 5
