Story
Where are my sweet mama dog lovers??!! Margarita (aka Maria) traveled to Virginia Beach in July of 2022. She settled in nicely with her adopted mom and was described as a super sweet, snuggle bug. Unfortunately, she is not a fan of her new human sister(who is now a toddler) with another on the way. She is approximately 5 years old and 33 pounds. She has been at a board and train with our trainer for the last 3 weeks, gaining some confidence and social skills. She is still a bit reactive to some dogs and would prefer to be an only dog and soak up all of the attention! She’s housebroken and crate trained. An ideal adopter would be committed to maintaining structure and using positive reinforcement with Maria. She would greatly benefit from a predictable and supportive environment. Maria has a lot of love to give her person. Complete one of our online adoption applications today!

Story
BLUE - 7 years old, 70 pounds, house trained; home with older kids, only dog, no cats. *After being with his family his whole life, Blue is now sitting in a shelter because that family could no longer care for his needs.  *He is reactive from behind the cage bars but once he actually meets you outside of the cage, he is a friendly and nice boy.  *He is already house trained and used to walking on a leash.  *He isn't used to a lot of handling so it might take time for him to trust you but once that bond has been created, you are good to go!  *Blue can be trusted roaming free in a home and he would be a nice companion to take on car rides and vacations. *Blue is said to be good with other dogs but he would be best as the only dog in a home. *Blue is currently in our large dog adoption kennel so come in to meet him!Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.January 26, 2025, 1:55 pm

Story
Axel is unfortunately a repeat visitor to our shelter. He was previously surrendered to another shelter because of being too protective over his owner. And he's here again for the same reason. He is once again looking for an owner that is understanding of the Aussie breed and will work with him on basic training and manners. Because of his reactivity, a home with no young children is recommended. His prior owners have described him as super smart, sweet and very loyal to his people. He enjoys walks, toys and cuddles. He is very protective of his people and home, so crating him when there are visitors in the home is best. Come by the shelter to meet this handsome boy today!Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.February 15, 2025, 2:35 pm
