We reply to ALL emails within 72 hours. If you have not received a response, please check you spam/junk folder. Thane's start in this world was an unfair sequence of events for such a sweet pup. He was picked up by animal control with a broken pelvis and weighed in at just 28 lbs. We quickly scooped him up from animal control and got him to the vet. It was determined that Thane had been starved for a long time and should be around 50-55 lbs. It was also determined that there was not a lot we could do for the broken pelvis besides see what time did for the healing process. Fast forward a few months and Thane is up to 50 lbs, and doing awesome! His pelvis has healed in a way that he is not in pain even with a moderate level of exercise! He does have a cute lil swagger when he walks but is capable of walking, running, and jumping without pain! The orthopedic doctors recommendation is to continue to help Thane build his muscle and strength back up and no surgical intervention is recommended. Through all of this, Thane has been nothing but a sweetheart. We think Thane is around 2-3 years old and was likely very isolated for this time; everything is new and scary to him but the good news is, he is a little trooper who is so brave to check out new things and quickly get past being worried about them! Thane is beautifully crate trained, does excellent on a leash; when he is not too excited ;), takes treats very gently and gets along with other dogs, with proper intros. Thane LOVES to play with toys by throwing them around for himself and also loves to carry his toys around everywhere he goes. When he gets a new toy, he likes to carry it around while "ahrooroo" barking to make sure you know he has a cool new toy! Thane does enjoy walks and playtime but is also pretty chill and would be happy to be in a home where his mom or dad might need to be gone for work for a while so he can have his chill down time in his crate. Thane is looking for a super special person to call his mom or dad; someone who will help him learn that this big world is full of kindness and yummy treats! His perky lil ears and perpetual puppy face are just irresistibly cute! Symbiotic Inc has a required minimum $360 adoption donation upon the completion of the adoption (it is tax deductible!)

Meet Arnie, the adorable pup with a heartwarming story! ? Once an owner surrender after a house fire, Arnie turned his life around as a Symbiotic foster. This lovable furball was a bit on the hefty side, but guess what? He's already shed 10 pounds and counting – talk about a fitness journey! ????? He is about 90lbs now but should be more in the 70lbs range. Arnie is not just a weight loss champ; he's a stoic, slow-going sweetheart who welcomes pets, scratches, and loves being part of the action. Whether he's finding a sunny spot to bask in, observing from his favorite spot, or whittling an antler, Arnie is the epitome of a low-key dude. This resilient pup is not just a solo act; he's cat-approved with proper intros and gets along famously with both resident and foster dogs. Living with two cats and five canine buddies, Arnie has mastered the art of companionship. Crate trained, housetrained, and ready to be in his forever home. Arnie does have a few lumps and bumps that come with age and a not so great beginning to life but nothing that is causing any major concerns with our vets! If you're on the lookout for a furry friend with an inspiring weight loss journey, a heart full of love, and the cutest side eyes in town, Arnie is your go-to babe! ?

Story
Hello there! My name is Myla Renea, a distinguished lady of 7 years with a sleek blue and white coat. As a pit mix, I am sweet and playful. Weighing in at a fit 48 pounds, I’m the perfect size for a cozy home. I’m a fully vaccinated, spayed, and heartworm-negative gal, with all the health checks to ensure I’m ready for a new beginning. Plus, I come with a microchip! I am not good with children or cats. I am also dog selective and can only be paired with a very laid-back canine companion. However, I would do my best as the only pet in the home. My heart is loyal, and I thrive on a strong, one-on-one bond. My previous male owner beat me profusely. Therefore, I do better with females but also warm up to males. It just takes longer. I have come a long way and continue to improve with support from the people around me. I’m well-versed in the arts of house manners, crate lounging, and leash walking. I love to walk and snuggle. Currently, I’m enjoying my days being fostered in Hampton, VA, but don’t let distance be a barrier—I can be transported to nearby states for the perfect match. Just a little note: you must be 21 years or older to apply. Are you the one I’ve been waiting for? Let’s start our journey together.

Story
Hi there, I'm Sensi, a pit mix with a gorgeous apricot and white coat. I'm a 7-year-old girl who weighs 45 pounds, and I'm spayed, vaccinated, microchipped heartworm negative, and house/crate/leash trained. I'm a very sweet but nervous girl who needs a lot of love and patience. I had a rough past and people were not so good to me before I came to my foster's house. That's why I'm very scared of kids and other dogs, and I can't be with them. I also don't like cats, so I need to be the only pet in the home. I know that sounds like a lot, but I promise I have so much to offer and share. I love to play and run, and I have a lot of good energy. I get excited on the leash but have learned to calm down. I also need to eat my meals in my crate, because that's where I feel most comfortable. I just really want someone to love me and make me feel safe and happy. I'm being fostered in Hampton, Virginia, but I can be transported to the right home. If you are 21 or older and think you can be my forever human, please fill out an adoption application and mention my name. I'm ready to meet you and start our new adventure together!

Hi there, I’m Emmie, a 4-year-old, 76-pound, white and black pit bull mix. I’m a laid-back and cuddly girl who loves to be with my people. I’m spayed, vaccinated, and heartworm negative. I’m a smart girl who is house and crate trained. I’m looking for a committed and understanding owner who can give me the time and training I need to overcome my insecurities. I’m a sweet and loyal companion who will make you happy and proud. I will do my best as an only pet, with no other dogs or cats, and with no children in the home. I am a laid-back girl who absolutely loves to relax and cuddle but is also always down for an adventure. I am satisfied just being with my people doing whatever the day brings and will adjust my energy level to match yours. While I am laid back, I need someone who is willing to set rules, provide boundaries, and give proper decompression time when first bringing me home. Giving me structure and guidance helps me feel more secure and will create trust with my new family. I’m currently being fostered in Hampton Roads, VA, but I can be transported to nearby states if you’re the right match for me. I’m looking for a loving and stable home where I can have fun and snuggle with my people. If you’re looking for a fun and faithful furry friend, I’m the one for you!

Hello, I’m Perry! A charming black and white pit mix who’s just as dashing as he is devoted. At 4 years old and a solid 60 pounds, I’m the epitome of a gentle giant. I am a laid-back kid who loves people, loves to be loved and does great in public. I’m a neutered male, fully vaccinated, and currently on a journey to overcome heartworms with a slow-kill treatment. I’m a pro at house manners, crate trained, and enjoy strolling by your side on a leash. I shine in a family setting, getting along wonderfully with children and I don’t bother with cats. I am dog selective and would do best as the only dog in the home or a more submissive dog that I can really click with. I’m all about giving and receiving love. They say I’m the biggest Romeo around, and I must admit, I do give the world’s best hugs. Pleasing you is my greatest joy, and there’s nothing I love more than a leisurely walk where we can explore the world together. I’m being fostered in Hampton, VA but can be transported for the right home. You must be 21 or older to apply. If you’re looking for a loyal friend who’s eager to fill your life with affection and joy, I’m your guy. Let’s create a lifetime of memories, one hug at a time.

Hi, I'm Blue, a handsome blue and white pit bull who is looking for my forever home. I'm 7 years old, 69 pounds, neutered, vaccinated, and heartworm negative. I'm also house, crate, and leash trained, but I could use some more practice on the leash. I'm a loyal, playful, and affectionate boy who loves to cuddle and give kisses. I'm very smart and eager to please, and I enjoy learning new tricks and playing with toys. I have a good energy and gusto, so I need a home where I can get exercise and mental stimulation. I'm good with older children who can handle my size and strength, but I'm not a fan of small kids who might pull my ears or tail. I'm also dog selective, which means I don't get along with every dog I meet. I need a proper introduction and a compatible match or to be the only dog in the home. I have not been cat tested, but I can be if you are interested in me. I'm currently being fostered in Hampton, VA, but I can travel to another state for the right home. I'm looking for a responsible and committed owner who can provide me with a loving and secure environment. You must be 21 or older to apply. If you think you are the one for me, please fill out an application and let's meet. I promise to be your best friend and faithful companion for life.

Hello, I'm Lucas, a 5-year-old blue and white pit bull mix. I'm looking for a fun and loving home. While I am a voluptuous 65 pounds, I tend to feel like a puppy and a lap dog. I'm a sweet, funny, and smart boy who knows how to sit and give you my paw. I'm also hilariously funny and like to do silly things like look at myself in the mirror and sleep in cozy places like small laundry baskets. I love to run and play with tennis balls, and I give the best hugs ever. I'm great with children, but older kids who handle my energy are preferred. I'm especially fond of men and I love to wrestle and play with them. I'm very loyal and affectionate and I will greet you like an enthusiastic lion when you come home. I am kind but tend to be aloof with the mom and kids of the family, so my ideal home would be with just me and my bro. I'm good with other dogs, but I need slow introductions as I don’t get along with every dog. I don't like to be in a crate, but I'm house and leash trained. I am also not destructive, so I do well when left to roam the home. I'm vaccinated, heartworm negative, and neutered. We are not sure if I'm good with cats or other animals, but I can be tested if you’d like. I'm being fostered in Hampton, VA, but I can be transported if you're the one for me. You must be 21 or older to apply, and you must be ready to have a lot of fun with me. If you think you can be my forever guy, fill out an application so we can be the next dynamic duo.
