Story
Meet Goose. The first thing you will notice about him is how smart he is. Goose’s special talent is his ability to shake and high-five. His favorite things are walks and milk bones. If Goose were a dessert, we would be Honey Gooseberry Cake. His perfect day would be taking a long walk or hiking. If Goose were on a dating app, his pickup line would be, “Are you a deer? Because my heart races every time I see you.”

Story
Beau is brand new to rescue but we've already fallen for his silly personality. Beau is a friendly, active guy who loves to play fetch, tug, and go for long walks. His favorite adventures include a car ride, and he loves a good chew toy or to learn new things. This guy is an all-around superstar who will make his future family very happy. He came to us when housing changes forced his family to surrender, but Beau was very deeply loved. The best kind of home for Beau: Beau is an active dog who will love an adopter who can take him on adventures. He loves to play, so developing a great game will help Beau shine! He is a quick learner and is food-motivated, so teaching this gorgeous guy will be a breeze. He did well in his previous home with other dogs and cats, is very clean in his kennel space (as long as there is nothing to destroy), and even knows a few basic tricks.

American Pit Bull Terrier/Mixed Breed (Large)

Male, 3 mos

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

Story
Jeff is the goofiest goober of a giant cuddle bug! You are going to love this gangly, goofy pup and his gorgeous white eyelashes. He is still pretty new to the Little Victories family, so we are still getting to know more about him. We instantly knew, however, that he was going to be a charmer! He LOVES to play tug and to romp with another dog. Jeff rides well in a car and already walks nicely on a leash! The best kind of home for Jeff:  Jeff is a big baby with big baby tendencies. He has a lot of learning to do, but this pup loves to please his people. He is playful, food-motivated, and extremely sweet. He adores other dogs but can play a little rough, so a dog companion who can show him the ropes would be ideal. Jeff is going to be a very big dog, most likely, so his adopters should be ready for even more love!

Labrador Retriever/Mixed Breed (Medium)

Male, 2 yrs
Ona, WV
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Story
Kyper is still very new to rescue, so we are getting to know more about his very sweet personality. So far he has been extremely sweet, never meeting a stranger. He is a happy-go-lucky little guy who loves to play fetch, go for walks, and just be near people. Upon first meeting, he can be a bit timid, but Kyper warms up so quickly and want to be your best friend. Catch this cutie peeking back at you as you walk, sometimes giving you a little bark of excitement. Kyper is going to make a stellar companion for his future family. The best kind of home for Kyper: Kyper is a moderately active dog who will thrive in a home where he can play fetch, take comfy naps, and be surrounded by love. He is scared of fireworks and will chew up toys and beds, but Kyper will be an easy dog to teach. He already knows a few basic commands and walks well on a leash. His previous family said he is good with other dogs and curious about cats. Kyper does well with children but would be better with kids with more self-control.
