Story
Knox is the sweetest little boy you will ever meet! He had his hind leg amputated at 6 months old but that has not slowed him down at all! He's very energetic, happy, loving and loyal. Knox will probably be just fine with cats but it's unknown. He loves to play with his toys and cuddle with you as much as you'll let him. We want to make sure he goes to a loving home. He's extremely smart and doesn't bark a lot. Knox is perfectly healthy and doesn't require any special care regarding his missing limb. It's breaking my heart that I can't keep him but as long as I know that he's in a loving forever home, I'll be happy!

Story
Pinky is currently in foster and doing great! Her foster`s report she is house trained, crate trained, does well with the cat in the home and loves belly rubs. Here`s what else they have to say`I think one of my favorite things that Pinky does is smile when I get home from work, afterI`ve been gone all day (my boyfriend was home, or got home much earlier then I) and shegets super excited and starts smiling at me. I also love how I am never lonely at home. Shelikes to follow me literally everywhere, whether that`s cleaning, watching tv, or studying, sheis very curious with everything. Also if you stop giving her bellyrubs she will lay on her backand wiggle side to side until she gets more.She loves showing off her toys as well.`

Story
Our sweet Harris was picked up as a stray by animal control in one of the surrounding counties.  He had a raging ear infection to the point that the exudate was running out of his ear and down his chest.  Consequently, he is deaf in that ear.  It is thought that he can hear in the other ear. He also has advanced heart worm disease.  He has been  treated for the heart worms and has been treated for the ear infection and his ears are fine now.  Sugar is a good name for him because he is sweet as sugar.  He gets along with other dogs and is really good with his foster kids who are older.  We don't think that he would be good with cats.  He loves to snuggle on the sofa and watch TV with his foster family and also loves car rides.  He is great in the kennel and loves Toys he can shred but also likes bones that are long lasting.   He has not been neutered yet but is scheduled for May after he has completed his heart worm treatment.  The ideal family for out boy is one that is loving, patient, and calm.  You couldn't get a better companion and one that would love to learn new tricks.  He rides well in the car and is waiting for his family.  He will be ready to go home with that family in May 2024 but we are accepting applications now.  Get your applications in early so you don't miss out on this special boy.  Call 757-472-1583 or rainbowanimalrescueva@gmail.com if you are interested in adopting this little cuddle bug.April 25, 2024, 2:30 pm

Story
Please do not call/text/email about this pet. We will only consider/respond to those who have applied for this dog on our website. Finn is a COURTESY POST! He was fostered through another rescue that closed down and left his foster high and dry to take care of him and find him a home on his own. His foster reached out to us for help finding him a home that will enroll him in training for some of his behavioral tendencies that were caused by his traumatic past. FINN IS LOOKING FOR A FOSTER AND/OR ADOPTER! Please reach out to us if you are able to foster Finn! Finn is a 3 year old Boxer Mix who was given up at 8 weeks old because he chewed on baby toys. His second family abused him and fractured his spine which later got infected. He loves all kinds of toys, he loves to cuddle, play, and run around acting silly. He loves to learn and can be wonderful with other dogs if introduced properly. He takes treats gently and loves to give kisses once he is introduced properly and warmed up to a new person. He is not the most confident boy because of his past. He has some trust issues and is picky about who he will allow to see his softer side. He will need a home without kids and only with other dogs if they have no behavioral issues. Finn needs a strong willed owner who will give him the time he needs to settle into a new home and the boundaries and structure necessary to keep him feeling secure. Although he comes with some issues, his foster mom has seen that he is loyal, loving, sweet and extremely smart. Give Finn a chance and some training! He is fixed and up-to-date on all shots.
