Story
Waylon is a wonderful sweet boy who we took in as a foster the day after Halloween. He was super skinny when we picked him up but he just received a clean bill of health and has reached a healthy weight. He is crate trained, house broken, and knows his basic commands. He sits when he has your attention, and loves squeaky toys, and REALLY loves fuzzy toys. He startles easily and runs away sometimes but has shown zero aggression towards people, kids, or dogs. We have introduced him to children as young as 4, as old as 13 as well as other dogs in multiple settings. We have 4 other dogs in our home and his favorite is the fluffiest husky. We are actively searching for his furever home. We are willing to travel to get him to the best home because he deserves all the love and cuddles.

Story
I was brought in to Colonial Capital Humane Society as an owner surrender. My family did not have time for me so they kept me outside. The shelter life is stressful so it’s hard let my true personality shine. I am considered dog selective because it takes me a minute warm up to other dogs. I prefer a slow introduction but I wouldn't mind being a single-dog companion either! I am kid friendly.Please visit our website, www.colonialcapitalhs.org to fill out an application today!

Story
Meet Charlene – A Gentle Soul Looking for Her Forever Home 💜 Charlene is a stunning 9-year-old pittie with a heart as big as her beautiful smile. Originally adopted from our rescue four years ago, she was recently returned through no fault of her own—her family faced an unexpected move and sadly couldn’t take her along. Now back with us, Charlene is hoping to find a loving home to spend her golden years. She's a calm, affectionate companion who truly deserves stability and care. While Charlene prefers to be the only pet in the home, her sweet personality more than makes up for it—she’s loyal, gentle, and full of love. Due to her age, Charlene is currently on joint supplements, and we recommend continuing them to help keep her comfortable and mobile. If you’re looking for a devoted best friend who will love you unconditionally, Charlene might just be the perfect match.

Story
Meet Midnight — A Sweet Soul Searching for a Second Chance Midnight found his way back to us on November 26, 2025, after his owners went through a difficult divorce and could no longer keep him. It’s been a heartbreaking transition for this sweet boy. He originally arrived at the shelter in November 2025, was adopted about a month later, and spent nearly a year enjoying the love, comfort, and routine of a real home. Now, he’s hoping his stay with us will be a short one as he dreams of returning to that cozy home life he misses so much. At 1 year and 11 months old, Midnight is fully vetted, housebroken, and ready to meet his forever family. He’s a gentle, affectionate companion who loves going for walks and soaking up all the body rubs and attention you’re willing to share. Come by and spend some time with this handsome sweetheart — you may just find that he’s exactly what your heart and home have been missing.

Olivia is a friendly and affectionate dog with lots of love to give! This happy and funny girl is a mix of all the best traits: playful and sweet, smart and gentle. Olivia is a good listener and an even better snuggler. She's a 2-year-old pup who is spayed, fully vaccinated, and house-trained.

She may be a little timid at first, but give her time to warm up and you'll see the wonderful dog she is. She loves people and is very treat-motivated - all you have to do is say the word and she'll be your new best friend! Olivia is a love bug with people and we just know you'll fall in love with her at first sight. Stop by for a visit with Olivia today and adopt her into your heart and home.
