Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.George has a long and sad story with a happy ending coming soon.  One of our volunteers first met George when he was a puppy with little shelter or food.  She would bring him food and lobby for help for him but none ever came.  A few years later and another volunteer met George at our local vet and was so impressed with his friendly demeanor that she followed up with the shelter.  George had been removed from his home for neglect and had been waiting at animal control for his furever family to show up. George is small for a pittie- only about 40 lbs and he is quiet so he continually got overlooked.  The shelter is always crowded and suddenly George found himself on the euthanasia list because he tested positive for heartworm.  He was literally hours from being put down when we pulled him.  Once she met him, our first volunteer realized that he was the grown up puppy she had helped so many years ago and she is now fostering him as he goes through his heartworm treatment.   George can be adopted to a local family willing to take him to our vet(located on the Eastern Shore of VA) for 2 visits to complete his treatment and then one final visit to be neutered.  George has a long life ahead of him and is so deserving of a loving home.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.October 28, 2024, 5:23 pm

Story
Carbon was originally adopted in July when he was approximately a year and a half old. He is very friendly, not aggressive towards cats, and loves all other dogs. Carson does seem to have some anxiety issues resulting compulsion to swallow items like socks and similar items. His anxiety also causes him to have a trauma-like reaction when crated. Therefore, Carson would be best suited in a home where he can be kept in a safe location when unsupervised and would benefit from a home with a yard where he can run and play. He is a sweet, loving, and playful dog that just needs a family that can give him the life he deserves.
