Story

Hi there, I'm Sensi, a pit mix with a gorgeous apricot and white coat. I'm a 7-year-old girl who weighs 45 pounds, and I'm spayed, vaccinated, microchipped heartworm negative, and house/crate/leash trained. I'm a very sweet but nervous girl who needs a lot of love and patience. I had a rough past and people were not so good to me before I came to my foster's house. That's why I'm very scared of kids and other dogs, and I can't be with them. I also don't like cats, so I need to be the only pet in the home. I know that sounds like a lot, but I promise I have so much to offer and share. I love to play and run, and I have a lot of good energy. I get excited on the leash but have learned to calm down. I also need to eat my meals in my crate, because that's where I feel most comfortable. I just really want someone to love me and make me feel safe and happy. I'm being fostered in Hampton, Virginia, but I can be transported to the right home. If you are 21 or older and think you can be my forever human, please fill out an adoption application and mention my name. I'm ready to meet you and start our new adventure together!

Hi there, I’m Emmie, a 4-year-old, 76-pound, white and black pit bull mix. I’m a laid-back and cuddly girl who loves to be with my people. I’m spayed, vaccinated, and heartworm negative. I’m a smart girl who is house and crate trained. I’m looking for a committed and understanding owner who can give me the time and training I need to overcome my insecurities. I’m a sweet and loyal companion who will make you happy and proud. I will do my best as an only pet, with no other dogs or cats, and with no children in the home. I am a laid-back girl who absolutely loves to relax and cuddle but is also always down for an adventure. I am satisfied just being with my people doing whatever the day brings and will adjust my energy level to match yours. While I am laid back, I need someone who is willing to set rules, provide boundaries, and give proper decompression time when first bringing me home. Giving me structure and guidance helps me feel more secure and will create trust with my new family. I’m currently being fostered in Hampton Roads, VA, but I can be transported to nearby states if you’re the right match for me.

Story

Hi, I'm Blue, a handsome blue and white pit bull who is looking for my forever home. I'm 7 years old, 69 pounds, neutered, vaccinated, and heartworm negative. I'm also house, crate, and leash trained, but I could use some more practice on the leash. I'm a loyal, playful, and affectionate boy who loves to cuddle and give kisses. I'm very smart and eager to please, and I enjoy learning new tricks and playing with toys. I have a good energy and gusto, so I need a home where I can get exercise and mental stimulation. I'm good with older children who can handle my size and strength, but I'm not a fan of small kids who might pull my ears or tail. I'm also dog selective, which means I don't get along with every dog I meet. I need a proper introduction and a compatible match or to be the only dog in the home. I have not been cat tested, but I can be if you are interested in me. I'm currently being fostered in Hampton, VA, but I can travel to another state for the right home. I'm looking for a responsible and committed owner who can provide me with a loving and secure environment. You must be 21 or older to apply. If you think you are the one for me, please fill out an application and let's meet. I promise to be your best friend and faithful companion for life.

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Hello, I’m Hazel, a 5-year-old American Bulldog mix with a white and tan coat and a big smile. I’m a playful and sweet girl who loves to have fun and cuddle with my people. I’m spayed, vaccinated, and heartworm negative. I’m house and crate trained, but I need some help learning to walk better on a leash. I get so excited to go for walks, and I’m very strong which means I can pull hard. I need an owner who can handle me and teach me some manners. I’m good with older children and other dogs, especially mellow ones. We don’t know how I feel about cats, but I can be cat-tested if you want. I have a lot of energy and I like to run around and play with balls. But I also like to relax and nap in my own space. I have a large kennel where I feel comfortable and safe. I don’t like to be outdoors for too long, I prefer to be inside with my people. I’m afraid of being abandoned, so I don’t like to go far from home. I have some digestive issues, so I need a special diet of lamb and rice. I also need to be crated when I’m not supervised, because I can chew on things. I’m a big girl, about 77 pounds, and I can be clumsy sometimes. I would not do well with small kids, because I might knock them over. But if you are used to large dogs, you will love me. I’m a gentle giant who just wants to be loved. I have a lot of potential and I’m ready to show you what a great dog I can be. I’m being fostered in New Kent, VA but I can be transported to other states for the right home. If you think you are the one for me, please fill out an application and let’s meet. Must be at least 21 years old to apply. I can’t wait to see you!

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Hello, I'm Lucas, a 5-year-old blue and white pit bull mix. I'm looking for a fun and loving home. While I am a voluptuous 65 pounds, I tend to feel like a puppy and a lap dog. I'm a sweet, funny, and smart boy who knows how to sit and give you my paw. I'm also hilariously funny and like to do silly things like look at myself in the mirror and sleep in cozy places like small laundry baskets. I love to run and play with tennis balls, and I give the best hugs ever. I'm great with children, but older kids who handle my energy are preferred. I'm especially fond of men and I love to wrestle and play with them. I'm very loyal and affectionate and I will greet you like an enthusiastic lion when you come home. I am kind but tend to be aloof with the mom and kids of the family, so my ideal home would be with just me and my bro. I'm good with other dogs, but I need slow introductions as I don’t get along with every dog. I don't like to be in a crate, but I'm house and leash trained. I am also not destructive, so I do well when left to roam the home. I'm vaccinated, heartworm negative, and neutered. We are not sure if I'm good with cats or other animals, but I can be tested if you’d like. I'm being fostered in Hampton, VA, but I can be transported if you're the one for me. You must be 21 or older to apply, and you must be ready to have a lot of fun with me. If you think you can be my forever guy, fill out an application so we can be the next dynamic duo.

Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Hello, my name is Angel. I’m a 6-year-old Pit bull with a stunning blue coat and a heart full of love. Tipping the scales at 75lbs, I’m the perfect size for big hugs and long walks. I’m up to date on all my shots, spayed, and I’ve mastered the art of being crate, house, and leash trained. I have an affinity for all people, greeting everyone with boundless affection and a wagging tail. I prefer to be your one and only pet and do not do well with other dogs or cats. However, my love for you will fill the house with warmth. My past was rough, but it’s taught me to cherish every moment. I am very appreciative of my foster home and have flourished with consistent food, water, and care. I enjoy going on walks with people. Whether we’re exploring the outdoors or snuggling on the couch, I’m happiest by your side. Instead of toys, I’d love for us to invest in cozy blankets and delicious treats, creating a haven of comfort and joy. I’m currently fostered in Sanford, NC, but can be transported to my “best fit” family. You must be 21 or older to apply. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will bring light into your life, I’m right here waiting. Let’s start our new chapter together.
