My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Location: Gloucester, VA

Hi there, My name is Chris. I find myself here in this noisy crowded pound. The people here are trying very hard to keep me happy, but it is just very stressful for a smart and handsome guy like me. I would do best in a home that can give me lots of patient attention until I decompress from this confusing turn of events in my life. I would love even a foster home to help me get a break from here at the pound. Then you might decide that I should be yours forever. Everyone here tells me what a good boy I am, and handsome too. The folks here think I once had a home of my own as I am so loving and playful. But stuff happens, as you may know.

Please consider calling my friend, Joyce, to learn more about me. If you have dogs about my size, I would love to meet them to see if we could be buddies. Contact Joyce at emersonjoyce76@outlook.com or 757-376-8360

Thanks for helping a homeless dog.

Steps to adopt

1. Fill out an Adoption Application
2. Phone interview
3. Reference Checks
4. Meet and greet with the dog you are interested in (and any dogs you may have)
5. Home inspection
6. 1 week trial run (in home)
7. Finalize adoption (contract, collection of adoption fee and transfer of medical records)

Our adoption is fee $150.00, due at the end of your week trial, and includes spay or neuter, rabies (if of age), vaccinations, worming, microchip and any other medical required for the health of the particular animal.

The entire process can take 1-3 weeks to process, so please be patient and understand if you live outside of the Greater Richmond Area, the process may take longer. Our goal is to place the right bully in the right home.
