Story
Meet Diablo! This handsome boy has been here with us at the shelter since 8/26/2024 that is 425 days, and has had no real interest so it is time we do a refresh and reintroduce like he is new! He was a stray that was never claimed so we do not know much about his background but what we do know about him is that he will love and protect you from any danger. He will require multiple meet and greets to be able to get fully acquainted and comfortable with his new potential family. He is not great with meeting new people until you earn his trust but with patience and a lot of yummy treats he does get there. He loves everyone at the shelter and gets so excited, does a little bunny hop prance dance and is a love bug to all of us. He loves his but scratches, to run around and play and likes to pretend he is a seal with no ears. He is not great with quick sudden movements especially near his face so we would suggest no homes with small children. He has been good with dogs at the shelter especially the ladies but we do require meet and greets if another dog resides in the home. Diablo all in all is such a good boy he just needs a chance and a new owner to put in the work with him and he will turn into your protector and your best friend.

Story
Meet Luna! This sweet girl was an owner surrender at no fault of her own. Unfortunately her owner moved and was unable to take her with her. She is extremely sweet, loves everyone she meets. She is dog selective so if another dog resides in the home meet and greets are required. She loves to run around and play her favorite is ball, so room for her to run around would be ideal.

Story
We have had kato for 4 years now and we are moving to a house that will not be able to give him the life that he deserves. We have two cats that we have had to keep separate from him because he does not get along with them and they don’t like him either.. he’s a very sweet dog. He has a lot of energy and just needs a good home and space to roam freely. I really do love him and that’s why I’ve made the decision that he deserves better. He loves going on walks and he loves other female dogs. He’s good with kids he’s just a little rambunctious because he gets excited. He loves treats and he will shake, roll over, lay down and sit for them! Please give me a call. (xxx) xxx-xxxx

Meet Dexter! If you don't remember Dexter he was the dog found as a stray that had the one-pound tumor on his leg!

He has done well with dogs he has met at the shelter but meet and greets are required if there will be other dogs in the home. He loves his people but does need training with jumping and being mouthy. He is a very silly boy that just needs structure.

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

Story
Meet Theo, the sweetest 55-pound cuddle buddy you’ll ever meet. He is an American Bully and Basset Hound mix, which gives him the perfect combination of a friendly bully smile and an adorable low-rider build. Theo is four years old, affectionate, loyal, and wonderfully attentive to his people. Theo loves going on walks, car rides, running around off-leash in safe areas, and getting hugs from his favorite humans. He is very playful, enjoys being near you, and thrives in a loving home where he gets affection and attention. He’s also a certified foodie—he loves dog cookies, peanut-butter treats, dog ice cream, pup cups, and even a small piece of cheese pizza on rare occasions. Theo does have seasonal allergies and mild food allergies to poultry and beef, so he eats salmon-based dog food (his favorite is Rachael Ray’s salmon formula). He’s fully up-to-date on vaccines and comes with his full medical history. Theo is an easygoing, medium-energy companion.
