Story
Oswald is a 2-year-old bundle of energy with a big personality and an even bigger heart. This adorable little guy is as cute as he is funny, and he’s always ready to run, play, and bring smiles to everyone he meets. Oswald has a playful spirit and would be the perfect family dog for an active household. Whether it's running around the yard, playing fetch, or just having a good time with his humans, Oswald is always up for some fun! Oswald’s energy is unmatched, and he would thrive in a home with a fenced-in yard where he can burn off all that extra energy. He is also used to being the dominant one over his current kennel mate, so he may do best with a more submissive dog who can keep up with his playful antics. Though Oswald’s start in life wasn’t the best, he has come a long way. He came from a home where he wasn’t provided with the necessary veterinary care. He had cherry eye, retained baby teeth, and was neither vaccinated nor neutered. Thankfully, we’ve taken care of all his medical needs, and Oswald is now happy, healthy, and ready for his forever home. Oswald absolutely loves people and gets along well with other dogs. He is a social, affectionate boy who will quickly become a beloved member of any family. He’s full of love and excitement, and he’s waiting for the right family to give him the life he deserves. If you’re looking for an energetic, playful, and loving companion who will keep you on your toes, Oswald might be your perfect match!

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Sunshine (12 yo) came to K Kids with her older sister Vanessa a few months ago when their momma couldn't take care of them anymore. Unfortunately we lost Vanessa to some serious health issues recently.   Sunshine is a barky sassy dachshund girl. She loves to tell the other dogs in her foster home who the boss is (hint: it's her!) She had a recent dentals and had some major extractions, but that doesn't stop her from thinking she can take on the world, haha. She l oves adventuring in her foster's yard and going for walks. She also love laps and attention. She is very loyal and loving and chill, reliability housebroken and crate trained. Sunshine really likes food and we have to be really careful with her weight.   Sunshine has had 2 IVDD episodes since she's been with us. Both times have been in her neck and both have been painful and have impacted her ability to walk for a period of time. With some meds and rest, she recovered. We can’t guarantee that won’t happen again, but she shouldn’t do a lot of stairs, jumping, etc. That should help prevent reoccurrences. Go to kkidsrescue.org to apply.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Sydney came with her brother Benny, and we'd like to keep them together.  They would up at a rural shelter together.  Clearly someone "loved" Sydney with food!  She's already lost a little weight and is currently 56 pounds, which is something near double what she should weigh. Her foster mom is working on her weight, and she is having a Cushing's test done at the vet soon.  She is healthy otherwise.  She likes to hang out in the AC and roll around in the grass.   An adopter for Sydney will need to be willing to work on her weight loss journey and treat any additional conditions she is diagnosed with.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.October 13, 2024, 4:16 pm

Story
Hi, I’m Daisy – Your Future Queen! I’m an 8-year-old, slightly plump Basset Hound looking for a family to spoil me with love, cuddles, and treats fit for royalty. My foster family is helping me with my weight loss journey, and I’ll need a family that’s willing to keep me on track with healthy meals and exercise.I am fully house-trained. I love being outside, exploring at my own pace, or just soaking up the sun. I need a home with a fenced yard (no invisible fences, please) since walks aren’t really my thing. I prefer to move at my own speed. I do best in a peaceful neighborhood because loud noises really scare me. No city, apartment, or condo life for me—I’m all about the quiet life. I am crate-trained and sleep quietly there through the night. I love cats and I would do well with cat(s) that get along with dogs. I sleep with the cat in my foster home sometimes. I get along with other dogs, but I need time to adjust to a new environment and can sometimes be reactive toward other dogs. So, BROOD recommends a home without other dogs due to the adjustment period I need. I like routines and will put myself to bed at night in my crate sometimes. I’d do best in a home with kids 12 or older who know to leave me alone when I am sleeping. If you’re looking for a lovable, quirky, and food-loving queen to rule your home, I’m the Basset for you! My adoption fee is $200.00.**Only BROOD-approved adopters can meet a dog (no exceptions). Our adoption application is on the BROOD website at https://brood-va.org/adoptionapp/. We adopt to residents of Virginia, Maryland, West Virginia, DC, Delaware, and southern Pennsylvania. Do not apply to adopt from BROOD if you live in another state. We require a virtual home visit and a veterinary reference.The age of many BROOD dogs is unknown, as very few come with official records. The estimate on the dog’s age is usually the initial estimate given by the receiving shelter, which may be different from that given at the time of the initial checkup. Different veterinarians may also give different ages, and those different opinions are sometimes reflected on the record. ***BROOD’s adoption fees are determined based on the age of the dog. 11/19/2024

Story
I`m Zoey, a sweet and snuggly 7-month-old Basset mix who’s looking for my forever family. I came to BROOD after my previous family realized just how much energy and attention us puppies need. Even though the Basset breed is known for being laid-back, I’m still full of curiosity and love learning new things!Right now, I`m working hard on my house training. I will need a home with a fenced yard as I don’t typically go potty on walks. I am easily distracted by the sights and smells of my environment and forget to do my business. I am crate trained and always keep it clean and dry during the day and overnight. It doesn`t take me long to bond with my people—I love being close to my family, and I thrive on attention. That’s why I need to be the only dog in the home; I want all the cuddles and affection for myself! I also don’t get along with cats and will happily chase them around, so a cat-free home is best for me. I love playing with toys and can often entertain myself with play. While I may still be discovering my personality, one thing’s for sure: I’m great with kids and love spending time with them. Due to my high energy level and tendency to jump up, I’d be best in a home with older children. Whether we’re playing or cuddling, I’m always ready for fun!If you’re ready to add some extra love and companionship to your life, I’d love to meet you! Contact BROOD today to start our journey together. My adoption fee is $250.00.**Only BROOD-approved adopters can meet a dog (no exceptions).

Story
My name Indy for short. I have an adventurous streak and love exploring the world! I’m a 5-year-old Basset mix found as a stray. When I first came to BROOD, I had a heartworm infection, but after treatment, I’m now healthy, happy, and ready for an active life!Now that I’m feeling great, I absolutely love going on walks! I do get a bit excited and tend to pull, but I’m working on my leash manners every day. I’m working on my house training so I’ll need a patient family to help me fully master this skill.True to my hound roots, I’m quite vocal and enjoy sharing my thoughts—whether it’s about my day, spotting a deer, or letting you know it’s mealtime. A home with a fenced yard would be ideal for me, as I love roaming, sniffing, and soaking up the outdoors. I would not do well in an apartment or condo. I’m a people-lover and make friends with everyone I meet, including kids who stop for a quick pet on my walks. I get along with other dogs but would be ok by myself. I enjoy playing with toys, especially a Kong stuffed with snacks, and I’m always up for learning new tricks if there are treats involved. I already know commands like “sit,” “down,” and “kennel.”If you’re looking for a loyal, adventurous, and sweet companion, I’m your guy! Contact BROOD today to start our adventures together.
