My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Approximate Age: 3 years
Approximate Weight: 10lbs

Meet Ruffles!Here is what our volunteers have said about him so far:
- Knows sit
- Working on housetraining
- Keeps a clean kennel
- Doesn't mind the company of other dogs
- Loves to go for walks
- Loves a good game of fetch
- He would love pets - but it is on his terms- he will give you a clear sign when he is stressed and done. If you ignore the signs you will get bitten.
- If his warnings are ignored he may snap and try to bite you
- May be best as a solo owner dog
- Needs an understanding owner who will respect his boundaries

What breed am I? Mixed mutt! ODHS does not breed label (unless there's official paperwork), as studies show it is nearly impossible to tell the exact breed of each dog based off of their appearance.

Adoption Donations are $275 for an adult, $375 for puppies (a dog under one year of age), and $175 for a senior dog (based on the age of the dog). More "sought out breeds may have a higher adoption donation) Adoption donations are to be made via cash, or credit/debit card. There is a $5 fee to run cards. We do not accept checks for adoption fees.


Please remember to bring a martingale collar and leash (non-retractable) with you the day of the adoption.

We typically have adoption events on Wednesdays 5-7pm, Fridays 6-8pm, and Saturdays noon to 4pm. Our adoption center is located at 3602 Lafayette Blvd, Suite 101, Fredericksburg, VA 22408. It's important that you keep an eye on your emails for any changes or updates during the adoption process.
