Story
Wrigley has been on a long journey in her nine years. I adopter her when she was 2 and she was the most scared dog I ever met. With time and patients she grew into a wonderfully silly and sweet girl with a dorky personality and a love for all things cuddles and belly rubs. Most of the past seven years have just been her and I, and we have moved all over the country together before settling in Virginia. In 2023 she start showing more aggression towards other dogs, growling, lunging, etc. so she has been kept from other dogs since. I recently had a life change and now have 2 kids at home, and she has not been adjusting well to their lound and unpredictable nature. Her ideal home would be with someone that has some experience with dogs, is patient to give her time to adjust, and most importantly is a home with no other animals or children younger than teenagers. I really hope you take a chance on this sweet, sweet girl that I love dearly. I know you'll love her too.

Story
My name is Brutus, and I am eight years old. I recently lost my mom, so I am looking for a new home. I have been neutered and am current on all my shots and am heartworm negative. I am on monthly heartworm and flea preventative (Simparica Trio). I am allergic to chicken, but I do very well on lamb based dry dog food. I love to be outside, go for walks, play with my stuffed babies and I am just as happy hanging out on the couch with you. I am not crazy about cats, so I would rather not live with them. I am very smart and easily directed and I am kennel trained but not destructive if given the run of the house. I am basically a happy go lucky kind of guy so if you are looking for the perfect family companion, that’s ME!! Our transport heads to the north east every week. RescueVet transport goes all the way up to Rhode Island, delivering fur friends to their forever homes. Transport fee is an additional $185.00. If you’d like to make this handsome fella part of your family, please follow our link below to fill out an adoption application. https://forms.gle/APKvbgFJcaRvgKgk9
