Meet Skeeter! A loving and well-mannered dog who just needs a little patience to shine. Here’s what makes him special:
- Sweetheart at heart: Once he trusts you, he’s affectionate and eager for attention.
- Great house manners: Quiet, clean, and well-behaved indoors.
- Crate trained: Keeps his crate spotless, though he’s hesitant to go in at first.
- Dog-friendly: Did well with his foster’s other dogs.
- Loves being brushed: Enjoys a good grooming session.
- Stranger danger: Can be wary of new people and has some kennel aggression, but it’s all bravado—treats and kindness win him over quickly!
- Looking for patience and love: With a little time and understanding, Skeeter will be an amazing companion!
- Rides we’ll in a car
- Wonderful leash manners
-Working on jumping: on people and counters
- Slight resource guarding behavior seen in foster home - just needs consistent correction
- I have a bite on record related to stranger danger. Please speak with Odhs about how to avoid my triggers.
If you’re ready to give this special guy a chance, come meet Skeeter today!

What breed am I? Mixed mutt! ODHS does not breed label (unless there’s official paperwork), as studies show it is nearly impossible to tell the exact breed of each dog based off of their appearance.

Adoption Donations are $275 for an adult, $375 for puppies (a dog under one year of age), and $175 for a senior dog (based on the age of the dog). More "sought out breeds may have a higher adoption donation) Adoption donations are to be made via cash, or credit/debit card. There is a $5 fee to run cards. We do not accept checks for adoption fees.
Please remember to bring a martingale collar and leash (non-retractable) with you the day of the adoption.
We typically have adoption events on Wednesdays 5-7pm, Fridays 6-8pm, and 11 to 3pm. Our adoption center is located at 3602 Lafayette Blvd, Suite 101, Fredericksburg, VA 22408. It's important that you keep an eye on your emails for any changes or updates during the adoption process.
