From stray to shelter dog: meet Hal! Now in a foster home!
He is about 45 to 50 pounds, short legged, could be a beagle/lab mix. What can we say about Hal? Well he is a “leaner,” and he’s devoted to humans, and he really loves going out for walks with the volunteers. The family who found him in their neighborhood, had children and thought he was OK with the children and when he met a 6 year old at an adoption event the other day, he was perfect. The little boy actually said Hal was his favorite of the 3 dogs at the event. We hope he finds a home quickly because he is really a handsome boy! He is now in a foster home where he plays with the female dog, and has made best friends with the male dog. This is wonderful to see because we weren’t sure how he would be with males. They love wrestling and even share sleeping space. His foster family says Hal is a couch potato. He loves snuggling up next to them on the couch to watch TV. We are impressed and hope someone will consider adopting this handsome boy! He is not only neutered, he is also house trained, and current with vaccines.
PLEASE NOTE: This pet has been posted by Friends of Campbell County Animal Control, Rustburg, VA. For questions about the pet, please email us at FOACinfo@gmail.com. All adoptions begin with an application, found under the "Animals" tab on our website, friendsofcampbellcounty.org. *Unaltered babies under the age of six months can be adopted only to residents of Campbell County, the City of Lynchburg, and counties touching Campbell County. *Unaltered adult pets six months or older will need to be sterilized before they can be adopted outside our local area of Campbell County, the City of Lynchburg, or counties touching Campbell. *We do not promote dog adoptions to homes where an invisible fence is the fencing of choice. *We do not permit cats or kittens to be declawed following adoption.

Additional adoption info
We start with an application so our volunteers and fosters can have an idea of what the adopter is seeking. We ask that other pets in the home be spayed/neutered already if of appropriate age, current with rabies shots, and prefer use of heartworm preventive. We ask for a non-family personal reference as well as a vet reference to contact. We do home visits only if we feel it is vital to the pet's successful placement.
Applications are generally processed within 24 to 48 hours. Foster parents will contact the applicants to advise them of the progress of their application and to set up a meet and greet. Because volunteers work full-time jobs, contact is often made by email.
Fees to adopt range from $20 to $80 for cats, and from $75 to $300 for dogs. A contract requires that the adopter contact FOAC and return the pet to our care at any time if the adoption does not work out.
