Story
This handsome fellow and his siblings came in to rescue last winter after they were dumped on a back country road. Their mother was found deceased, so we took the puppies in to try to save them. They were very sick initially but are very healthy now. Big boy is a gentle boy but does love to run and play with other dogs. Big boy was the largest of the puppies, but his siblings have caught up to him. He has done amazing with his house and crate training. He is so deserving of a wonderful home to call his own. He is fostered in East TN, but transportation is included in the adoption fee and provided by Rescue Riders LLC. Please let me know if you have any questions. Please email us for the link to the adoption application (His adoption fee is only to cover transport and health certificate to travel to another state.)

Story
Current Location: Manassas Va Hello! My name is Nova! I am estimated to be a 2 year old Australian Shepherd/Fox hound mix. I am the momma to the Surgical Suite pups- I raised my puppies and now its time for me to find my forever home! Here is what foster mom has to say about me: - I am pretty nervous at first meeting so I need an adopter that will take it slow with me and let me have time to come out of my shell. I'd probably do best in a home without small children since they can be a little scary at first. I dont have a mean bone in my body, I just may run and hide. - Even though I'm nervous, I still want to cuddle. I will come lay in your lap and ask for pets and attention. I really am the sweetest girl! - I do not yet understand what a leash is, and its kinda scary. At the moment, I would really prefer a home with a fenced in backyard. Im a really good girl and will do my business then come back to you to get pets and attention. I think I will learn to like being on a leash, but it may take some training. - right now, I love playing with the puppies in my foster home, but the adult dogs are still a little scary. Im pretty sure I will like them once I settle in a little. - once I feel comfortable, im all typical 2 year old- i like to play and run around the yard! - I havent had any accidents in my foster home and I like my crate. I go right in and im silent in it all night. - I am spayed and up to date on all my vaccines! I’m looking for my forever family! Is that with you? If so please click “apply for adoption” or submit an application through the Adopt tab. Let’s get our family started!

Story
If you're looking for a loyal, active & loving companion who will be your constant sidekick, Thor might be your perfect match. He loves to cuddle up next to you on the couch for some quality time at the end of an active day. He's great with kids & does well with other dogs. He can live with cats, though he tends to be a bit too interested in them, so a dog savvy cat or a cat-free home may be best. Thor is fully crate trained & has excellent house manners. he thrives in a structured environment and would do best with a very active individual or family who can give him the exercise he needs. Because he has high energy and some anxiety, he'll do best with someone experienced or committed to continuing his routine. Thor is being rehomed due to a family deployment. This difficult decision comes from a place of wanting the very best life for him. One filled with activity, engagement & companionship.

Story
Sydney is an 8 year old female Australian shepherd, german shepherd, and staffordshire terrier mix. Looking for a calm, adult only home. She is timid at first, but warms up over time and enjoys being pet. She does well in a predictable home environment and has been good with the children in her current household. However, she has a protective nature and has shown reactivity toward unfamiliar people, particularly when she perceives her owner is being approached or when other children move too quickly around her.Because of this, she should go to a home: - Without children- With experienced dog owners familiar with reactive protective dogsShe would likely do best with someone patient who can continue to build her confidence and manage introductions carefully. She is not aggressive without reason, but she does need the right environment to feel safe.

Zoe-Australian Shepard Brown Merle mix female, ~ 2 yr. (April 2026) Contact rescuebc@hotmail.com for an application Zoe was rescued from a high kill rural shelter when her life was in danger, due to overcrowding and limited 'hold' days. A Trainer took her to safely and put her in a Prison Training Program where she's excelled. Her trainer calls her 'very sweet'. She's learned about house training, crate training, basic obedience and husbandry/grooming skills. She's ready to move on to a family life and is hoping your family will give her a good look. Zoe is about 2 yr. old now, so past those crazy puppy days, but healthy and full of love. She likes an active life and will be a great walking or hiking partner. She weighs about 45# and has lived happily with other dogs. There are no cats in the prison to test her with, but once he's in a foster home, that will be done. Zoe's adoption fee is $350 to help cover the medical costs of getting ready for adoption.
