Story
The fee is just for the large cage, if you want it. We rescued Sophia (Sophie) and she has been absolutely amazing. She is so sweet and smart. She is only territorial about her food with other pets. She is older, so she will occasionally play with puppies but she normally likes to lounge around the house. She will let them play on top of her though lol. She is definitely an outdoorsy dog. You can take her on a walk or to a trail and she will be right there with you. We even let her off the leash on trails because she listens so well.

Story
Previous owner was a police officer who passed away and family could not take care of her so I adopted her, she is super quiet, calm and likes to lay down in front of glass door to see outside. She is very good at staying in front porch as long as its enclosed but most of the time she stays indoors, she will not have accidents indoors. She is a finnicky eater. She does run if left unleashed, she loves the outdoors but dont let go of her unleashed. I wish I had big yard with high fence, she loves to roam freely. I have heart condition and can't give her the attention she needs like walking her or taking her to dog parks so she can run freely. You will love her quiet misdemeanor. I think she was an emotional support dog in the past, i saw her in pictures with a vest with previous owner. warning, if you have a big yard make sure its high, she will find a way out. Also she has had veterinary care and maintenance but not up to date, we have all records.

Story
Meet Dexter! If you don't remember Dexter he was the dog found as a stray that had the one-pound tumor on his leg! He has had his surgery to get the tumor removed and he is all healed up and is looking for his furever home. He is estimated to be around 1-2 years old. He has done well with dogs he has met at the shelter but meet and greets are required if there will be other dogs in the home. He loves his people but does need training with jumping and being mouthy. He is a very silly boy that just needs structure. If you are interested in meeting Dexter the shelter is open Monday-Friday from 10am-3pm or you can call the shelter to schedule an appointment at 804-520-9397 ext.5

Story
Meet Ivy! This gorgeous girl is around 1-2 years old. We are unsure what she is mixed with, but we are guessing she has some husky in her due to her antics. She is such a sweet girl and SUPER energetic. She would love a family that goes to the lake, river or has a pool, she is a MAJOR water dog. She is looking for a super active family that can take her on long walks and plenty of adventures. She has done well with dogs she has met here but meet and greets are required. She would do well with children as long as she does get her energy out just due to the jumping around as she can be a wrecking ball at times. If interested in Ivy, the shelter is open Monday-Friday from 10am-3pm pending on if staff is in the building. You can also call the shelter at 804-520-9397 ext. 5 to set up an appointment!

Story
Meet Diablo! This handsome hunk was found as a stray and never claimed. Upon his arrival he hated it here! Very skittish and standoffish but now his personality has really started to shine! He is a nervous boy in his kennel but once he is out, he wide open. He is one that may require more then one meet and greet as it does sometimes take him a bit to fully open and show his full personality. He has done well with dogs he has met here( he really loves the ladies) but meet and greets are required if other dogs are in the home. His favorite things in the world are butt scratchys , treats and more butt scratchys. He is very treat motivated, he knows sit and paw that we have found out so far. When he gets super excited, he just prances around, and hops and it is adorable! He is estimated to be around 2 years old. If interested in Diablo, the shelter is open Monday-Friday 10am-3pm staff pending or you can call the shelter at 804-520-9397 ext.5 to schedule an appointment!

Story
Meet Faye and Boomer! If you are looking for two peas in a pod, then look no further! These two were an owner surrender at no fault of their own. Their previous owner loved them so much but due to unexpected circumstances they came here. Boomer was also adopted through our shelter back in 2021 when he was around 3 years old which makes him to be around 6 years old. He is a boxer mix who is already neutered. These guys have been together for 3ish years, and we would hate to have to seperate them. They both are super sweet Faye in more open than Boomer, but he does open up once he gets comfortable. Boomer will look for Faye once they do seperate and it just breaks our hearts. They both are really great dogs that hope they can find a home together. If interested in Faye and Boomer, the shelter is open Monday-Friday from 10am-3pm staff pending or you can call the shelter at 804-520-9397 ext. 5 and set up an appointment!
