Story
Holly is a cute, affectionate and active young dog, look at those ears ! She doesn't miss anything. She loves people, but should ideally only live with adults and older children due to her activity level. She is dog selective in a defensive way, she becomes uneasy when an unknown dog approaches. Her new owner(s) would ideally be experienced with bully breed dogs. She is very active and will need an owner(s) who can give her enough exercise to wear her out, like a runner !! She needs a securely fenced yard with a 6 ft privacy fence, as she likes to leap and jump in her play. She is about 4 yrs old and 35 lbs, a great snuggle size; she's also good on a leash. She's been fully vetted, including spay, vaccines and deworming. She's very playful and loves her toys including old buckets, balls, kongs, antlers, beef bones and anything that can be thrown or she can kick around. She's sweet and playful, and will make a great pet for the right person. Please contact us with any questions, and to meet this sweet girl.

Story
Diamond is a beautiful, sweet blue Bully Girl who is a sweetheart, she is around 5.5 years old and weighs 60 lbs. She has had too many litters in her short life, but now she's on the mend. She’s such a sweet, humble girl. It was hard to get good pics because she just wanted to snuggle. She carries her toys around thinking they are her babies. Diamond is quiet and reserved. She would be best as an only pet as she has tons of love to give her family. She’d be a great dog for a solo, retired or family. She fits all bills! Ask for her video. She would thrive in a home with a fenced in yard. She is people focused and is best not having to be leash-walked and can just relax in her kingdom with her people. She is dog reactive a life where she can focus on her people and just give them all the love in the world for years to come. She just needs a quiet home with her people and she will be the Diamond she was meant to be. Ask for her videos! Email k9rescueva@gmail.com with questions or to schedule a meeting.

Story
Meet Burly! What a sweet boy! He is a large, goofy guy who loves walks and attention. Despite being so big and strong, he is surprisingly gentle taking treats. Once his nose hits the ground he is on the move. He loves new smells and places to explore. He will happily return to you for treats. Burly would love a fenced-in yard or frequent leash walks for exercise and enrichment.Burly is a big, happy dude who loves to have fun! He loves to run and play with toys. He knows how to sit, and would love to learn some more tricks and manners. Burly is eager to please, especially if it involves cookies. He just wants a person and home to call his own. He has so much love to give. He's just waiting for his second chance. Call about this lovable guy today!We have noticed that Burly likes cats a little too much (will chase them), so we recommend he go into a home with none. He is curious but scared of chickens. Burly has done well with playing after very long and slow introductions. He can be unsure of new dogs, and needs to go at his pace. He doesn't like to share food or water bowls with other dogs. So altogether I wouldn't suggest he live with another dog, unless the family is prepared to manage and help him in sharing situations.He is current on all his age-appropriate vaccines, and preventatives, microchipped and neutered. Since being with us for more than 6 months, we consider him one our Lonely Hearts which makes his adoption fee only $20. Primary Color: White Secondary Color: Tan Weight: 65.5 Age: 6yrs 2mths 2wks

Story
Meet Mickey! This big baby is a total love bug. He has won over the hearts of the staff, volunteers, and his foster family with his sweet nature. Mickey was surrendered to the shelter because his former owners could not afford his health care. He has been in an amazing foster home since March. According to his foster mom, he has been warming up right away with new visitors, and absolutely loves people! Once he feels comfortable, he bonds quickly! He is also house trained, crate trained, walks well on a leash, and has learned some basic obedience as well as a few tricks with ease! Mickey is also a dog that wants to engage and loves treats which has made him easy to train. Mickey has done well around his foster family's dog as well as other neighborhood dogs. He is neutral to all of them with the exception of one female hound that brings out his playful side! However, he is not a fan of cats and will go after them if given the opportunity.Mickey is microchipped, neutered, and up to date on all his age-appropriate vaccines and preventatives. Since being with us for more than 6 months, we consider him one of our Lonely Hearts which makes his adoption fee free thanks to a generous donor!

Story
Meet Goblin!This man is the biggest sweetheart. Despite being 13 years old, Gobi is young at heart. He loves romping in the woods and meeting new people. He is a favorite among staff and volunteers. He has excellent leash manners, and Gobi adores everyone. He enjoys many things including sniffy walks, cushy bedding, and head rubs. His absolute favorite hobby, however, is taste-testing new treats. He'd be the perfect kitchen companion. There will be no need for a vacuum cleaner. We are in search of a loving home to adore and love this special man. Gobi has experienced a lot in his life and has been in our shelter for 340 days waiting. He's ready to settle down with his human and get all the love he deserves. Because of this, he would prefer to be the only dog in the home to live out his senior years. For safety due to his age, limited vision and hearing, and arthritis pain, and even though he did fantastic with children, we are recommending no children in the home under the age of 13 and to live in a home with limited required steps. Gobi is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines. His $20 Lonely Hearts Club adoption fee is paid! Please ask us about this loving gentleman today. Take a chance on him. Take a chance on love. Primary Color: Grey Secondary Color: White Weight: 73.5 Age: 13yrs 1mths 1wks

Story
Meet Duncan! This adorable tripod is friendly, loves to play, and enjoys head rubs. Duncan loves long walks as well where he can explore. Despite one missing leg, he really is such a perfect pup. Duncan cannot wait for his forever family to come pick him up! So please, if you find this guy as charming as we do, come meet him today!Duncan came to us as a stray with his front left leg amputated, but we unfortunately do not know why. This however does not slow this big boy down. He is incredibly sweet with every person he has met, even when he was scared of the new environment. Adoption fee paid for and sponsored by a donor. Recently written by his previous adopter: returned after two fights with the resident dog. We are at this time recommending him to be an only dog. "Duncan, AKA Dunky Bear and Funky Dunky, is the sweetest, most loyal, and loving 3-legged wonder you'll ever meet. Duncan truly defies all odds with his personality being so pure, while missing a whole limb! Duncan LOVES attention and cuddles, and despite his size, thinks he's a teeny tiny lap dog! He will lick you to death, so you don't have to worry about bath time anymore (for his humans at least), because someone isn't a fan of bath time for himself! Unfortunately, Duncan can be easily stressed, and has had a couple of incidents with other dogs in the home, so he would be best with being the only pup, or a meet-and-greet because he does seem dog-selective, but who can blame him? He seems to have been through so much in his little life, yet is still such a sweetheart. He would gladly do anything for his human, as he has shown to be very loyal! He is very curious, so redirection is necessary sometimes, but he is easily redirected and is very very smart! He is house-trained, and is very food motivated! He loves his treats, chew toys, and anything else he can play with, even if it's not always a toy! He is a truly one-of-a-kind, and he deserves the world! Please give this wonderful, loving, and full-of-life baby a chance!" Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: White Weight: 60.5 Age: 5yrs 3mths 3wks

Meet the funnest guy in Fluvanna! Indigo doesn't care about the small worries in life, like grammar. He is ready for loads of fun. Like adventure? Enjoy spending time outdoors? Fan of going to Starbies with friends? Indigo is the guy for you! He loves playing with toys, exploring his yard, and chewing on yummy treats! Not to mention - how can you not love this face??He loves toys, treats, walks, and adores people. He is very playful and loves exploring the great outdoors. Once he calms down Indigo likes a good butt scratch.Indigo has done fantastically well in playgroups! He loves high energy mouthy play with wrestling. We would suggest he go to a home with another high energy playful dog. We are suggesting an adult or young adult only home for him because he still hasn't realized that he's no longer a 20 lb puppy. Indigo has been neutered and microchipped and is up-to-date on all of his preventatives and vaccinations. Indigo has been in our shelter since November of last year, so he is a member of our Lonely Hearts Club. Adoption fee sponsored by a generous donor!
