Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Steve is a puppy mixed with Labrador and Husky. He is the last one left behind from a large litter. He was taken to a full county shelter due to the owner being unable to find homes for all the puppies. BHS stepped in and took the seven puppies to a safe foster home. He was born April 24, 2024.
He has one blue eye and one brown eye. He is a puppy but once he gets his burst of energy out he is laid back. He would do good with children that understand getting puppy jumps and nibbles. He gets along with other dogs but needs to be feed separately, since being raised in a large litter, he has shown food guarding behavior with the other puppies. He is not food guarding with people. He has not been around cats, but he is young enough to be trained to enjoy a cat's company. If you are looking to add a pup growing to medium to large size and would become your best friend, Steve is the one for you.
Steve has been dewormed, microchipped, is on heartworm preventive and flea/tick preventative, and has received the Distemper-Parvo combination vaccine.
Since he is not yet neutered, Steve is not available for adoption outside of the counties contiguous to Bedford County.
For more information, go to https://www.bhsva.org/adoptables to fill out an adoption application and a volunteer will reach out to you. .

Have you discovered a pet you wish to adopt? Great!
Now, the first step is to complete an adoption application on our website at http://bhsva.org/adoptions-home.htm. This is not a commitment to adopt. It is simply the first step in the process.
We will review your application for preliminary approval before asking the foster parent to contact you to set up a time to meet the pet. You may also have concerns about how the animal will fit your home environment. When the foster parent contacts you, you will be able to discuss your concerns with someone who has first-hand experience with the pet.
After you meet the animal, you and the foster parent can decide if this is definitely the forever pet for you.
