My story

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

Alex is a German Shepherd/Hound mix. He one of six left behind from a large litter. He was owner surrendered to BHS due to the owner could not find homes for all the puppies. He was born June 18, 2024. Alex has a copper tone look about his coat. The sun really brings out the copper shine. He appears to be one of the smaller pups in the litter. He has been with his siblings since birth and is now ready to have a family of his own. When out in the open yard he is very attentive to his foster mom. He comes when called and does not wander far. He is smart and is eager to learn. He is a puppy and does need to get plenty of exercise. He would do well with children that understand getting puppy jumps and nibbles. He gets along with other dogs. He has not been around cats but yet he is young enough to be trained to enjoy a cat's company. If you are looking to add a pup growing to large size and would become your best friend, Alex is the one for you.

He has been dewormed, microchipped, on preventive for flea/tick, and has received the Distemper-Parvo combination vaccine.

Until Alex is neutered, he is not available for adoption outside of the counties contiguous to Bedford County.

Additional adoption info

Have you discovered a pet you wish to adopt? Great!

Now, the first step is to complete an adoption application on our website at www.bhsva.org. 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.
