Story
In 2022, we adopted a three-month-old puppy from the SPCA in Virginia. Initially shy and anxious, Albus was listed as a Labrador, but a DNA test revealed he was a mix: 53% Australian Cattle dog, 19% Australian Shepherd, 17% Rottweiler, and 10% American Bulldog. Albus (now almost 3.5 years old) is a sweet, fun, and challenging dog. He is challenging due to his reactivity around strangers, which has improved greatly over the last year. We love Albus, and wish we did not have to rehome him - but we would also like to start a family. Having a baby, and managing a challenging dog is more than we feel we can handle. We are not in a huge rush, and want to find an ideal match. Albus would be a perfect companion in a home with space to run and play fetch, with no young children, and an experienced dog owner who can continue to train him. Because he can be reactive to strangers, a home without many new people coming by would be ideal. We are now in Potomac, Maryland - not Charlottesville!

Story
Pebbles is my sweet Blue Heeler mix who I adopted when he was only 8weeks old. He is very smart, sweet, goofy, and always loves some good “scratchies”. He enjoys hikes and walks, as well as playing with squeaky toys, but equally enjoys lazing contentedly around the house. He is house trained and has no separation anxiety. I never used a crate, he can be left alone and isn’t at all destructive. He chews toys he is given but leaves my son’s toys alone and never gets into food or trash. Unfortunately he has never taken to being a family dog. Pebbles ideal life would be in a home without children. He is good with other dogs. He displays anxiety and signs of aggression at times toward my child. Open to initiating behavioral modification training and slowly transitioning ownership if desired by a new family. We just cannot afford ongoing care with a Behavioral Specialist Vet. Pebbles also has allergies and we are managing those as best we can. Thanks for your consideration! ❤️🐶🫂

Story
Lily Pad is a very sweet girl who is feeling a little overwhelmed in the shelter environment. Once she knows she’s safe, her gentle and loving personality really shines through. She walks well on a leash and enjoys spending quiet time with her people, though she will benefit from continued training to help build her confidence. Lily Pad does have significant arthritis in her back left leg due to an old injury. Because of this, she’s looking for a less active home where she won’t be expected to run or engage in high-impact activities. She will need ongoing maintenance care for her arthritis, but with the right support, she can still live a comfortable and happy life. 🏡 Ideal Home for Lily Pad: • Calm, patient environment • Low-activity lifestyle • Someone willing to continue basic training • Committed to managing her arthritis needs Lily Pad may be nervous at first, but she is truly a sweetheart who just needs someone willing to see past her fears and physical limitations. She has so much love to give to the right home. 💗 If you’re looking for a gentle companion who will appreciate a quieter life, Lily Pad could be your perfect match. updated 02/06/26

Story
Hoagie is a young, sweet, playful boy. He is currently around 2 years old. We adopted him from our local SPCA in July 2024. He is quite a mix of different breeds but is primarily australian shepherd and Australian cattle dog. He is about 55 lbs. He has adapted well to our family and our other dog. However, we are a busy household with young toddlers, and he would do better where he can be walked more and get more attention. Our kids love him and we wish we could keep him, but we think he would have a happier life where he can have more attention and 1:1 training. He is crate trained and knows some simple commands. He is up to date on all vaccines and is spayed. He is GREAT with dogs and young kids. We are unsure of cats, as he has never been around them. He loves chew bones, playing with other dogs, and belly rubs. Let me know if interested in making a sweet addition to your family!
