Story
Blitzen ... AKA Blitz ... Blitzy ... Blitzen was rescued in a group of 14 puppies. He was adopted into a loving home but sadly, was returned through no fault of his own. A family member is allergic to his dander, so the heartbreaking decision was made to find him a new home. Blitzen is a very sweet confused boy. He needs someone to take time to show him everything is going to be okay and that he is loved. Blitzen is house trained, seems to ride well in a car, but not so sure he wants to get in, and is not a fan of the crate. He lived in a home with 2 children, walks well on a leash, but when he gets excited, (squirrel, other dog) he will pull. He is still a puppy, a big puppy. Blitzen still needs training with a firm but loving hand. I was his foster before he was adopted, he was such a gentle sweet boy and he still is. Blitzen once again finds himself looking for his forever home. He is a super sweet pup playful and loving unfortunately he and the resident cat did not form a relationship. Blitzen has lived with a dog and does play with another foster but a meet and greet would be required if another dog lived in his future home. Let’s find Blitzen a great home!!! Blitzen is up to date on all his medical, microchipped, neutered and heartworm negative. All he needs now is a home. For information please call BHS at 540-586-6100, or go to https//www.bhsva.org/adoptables to fill out an adoption application.

Story
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. .
