Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Sunshine (12 yo) and Vanessa (14 yo) are a bonded pair. Vanessa is tiny and just wants a lap. Sunshine is a barky sassy dachshund girl. Both had recent dentals and had some major extractions. Vanessa is a little hard to keep weight on, and Sunshine is hard to get weight off of. They both love adventuring in their fosters' yard and going for walks. They both love laps and attention. Both are very loyal and loving and chill. Reliability housebroken and crate trained. Sunshine did have an IVDD episode recently where she woke up one day unable to use any of her legs. 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. The girls haven’t been spayed yet. We focused on their dentals as they both have heart murmurs and didn’t want them to stay under too long. We always spay our dogs, but there has been some debate as to whether we should spay these girls. We can discuss that with their adopter! These girls have a momma who loves them desperately but can’t care for them anymore near Winchester, VA. We would request that the adopters stay in touch with her daughter or at least share updates with K Kids that we can share with the family. Go to kkidsrescue.org to apply. The adoption fee is $200 each. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.June 29, 2024, 8:29 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Akka and his littermate Athena are a bonded pair.  They must be adopted together.  They are always together, and it is honestly the cutest thing watching them follow each other around.  Athena is shy around new people and will make a lot of noise when a visitor comes around, but when we took him to an adoption event, she enjoyed saying hi to all the people who came to say hi to her. Like her brother, Athena does like to climb and perch on things, such as chairs, tables, and counters.  Akka and Athena might be part cat!!!  Speaking of cats, we aren't sure how they do with them, but they seem to do fine with children, although it might take them a bit to get used to very tiny people.  Athena is crated trained (he shares a crate with Akka, naturally) and pee-pad trained and housebroken when kept on a schedule (so he's a dachshund).   Athena doesn't mind other dogs, but prefers to only interact with Akka so far at his foster home, where they have been for a week.  The adoption fee will be $700 for the pair and they will be spayed and neutered before they are adopted, and will be current on all vaccinations.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.June 29, 2024, 8:29 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Kiwi is loving her foster home—where she gets to run in a pack of big dogs, and thinks of herself as a smallish herding Malinois! yes, she lives with a Malinois and is a wanna-be whatever! Most likely her breed mix is cattle dog and dachshund, (she is only 25 pounds!) but don’t try to tell her that. She has a big dog attitude, and all she wants to do is herd, herd, herd! Her appearance, although adorable, is slightly misleading because this little working dog is extremely handshy, and is still learning how important it is to come when your mama calls you. Without a fenced yard, she would be gone in a heartbeat. She is spayed, microchipped, heartworm tested, current with vaccinations. She chases cats but is easily called off. Two years old, she will be best with other dogs, and with a job to do. Fenced yard, herding dog experience, and time to train— this is what she needs. Are you interested? We start with an application from our website FOUND here: friendsofcampbellcounty.org. PLEASE NOTE: This pet has been posted by Friends of Campbell County Animal Control, Rustburg, VA. For questions about the pet, please email us at FOACinfo@gmail.com. All adoptions begin with an application, found under the "Animals" tab on our website, friendsofcampbellcounty.org. *Unaltered babies under the age of six months can be adopted only to residents of Campbell County, the City of Lynchburg, and counties touching Campbell County. *Unaltered adult pets six months or older will need to be sterilized before they can be adopted outside our local area of Campbell County, the City of Lynchburg, or counties touching Campbell. *We do not promote dog adoptions to homes where an invisible fence is the fencing of choice. *We do not permit cats or kittens to be declawed following adoption.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.July 7, 2024, 6:33 pm
