Story

Shandy is a sweet 6 year old labordoodle who is full of life and energy. We are hoping to find a loving home for her. We are looking to re-home because she does not get along with our small dog. She is great with people and kids, we believe she would do much better in a home as an only pet. We feel as though we can’t give shandy the time and attention she needs to thrive due to having two young children and working full time, we are hoping to find a home that will provide more attention and care towards her.

Burly

Pit Bull Terrier

Male, Adult

Troy, VA

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Meet Burly! What a sweet boy! He is a large, goofy guy who loves walks and attention. Despite being so big and strong, he is surprisingly gentle taking treats. Once his nose hits the ground he is on the move. He loves new smells and places to explore. He will happily return to you for treats. Burly would love a fenced-in yard or frequent leash walks for exercise and enrichment.Burly is a big, happy dude who loves to have fun! He loves to run and play with toys. He knows how to sit, and would love to learn some more tricks and manners. Burly is eager to please, especially if it involves cookies. He just wants a person and home to call his own. He has so much love to give. He's just waiting for his second chance. Call about this lovable guy today!We have noticed that Burly likes cats a little too much (will chase them), so we recommend he go into a home with none. He is curious but scared of chickens. Burly has done well with playing after very long and slow introductions. He can be unsure of new dogs, and needs to go at his pace. He doesn't like to share food or water bowls with other dogs. So altogether I wouldn't suggest he live with another dog, unless the family is prepared to manage and help him in sharing situations.He is current on all his age-appropriate vaccines, and preventatives, microchipped and neutered. Since being with us for more than 6 months, we consider him one our Lonely Hearts which makes his adoption $0 for the summer because he is being sponsored.

Story

Meet Mickey! This big baby is a total love bug. He has won over the hearts of the staff, volunteers, and his foster family with his sweet nature. Mickey was surrendered to the shelter because his former owners could not afford his health care. He has been in an amazing foster home since March. According to his foster mom, he has been warming up right away with new visitors, and absolutely loves people! Once he feels comfortable, he bonds quickly! He is also house trained, crate trained, walks well on a leash, and has learned some basic obedience as well as a few tricks with ease! Mickey is also a dog that wants to engage and loves treats which has made him easy to train. Mickey has done well around his foster family's dog as well as other neighborhood dogs. He is neutral to all of them with the exception of one female hound that brings out his playful side! However, he is not a fan of cats and will go after them if given the opportunity.Mickey is microchipped, neutered, and up to date on all his age-appropriate vaccines and preventatives. Since being with us for more than 6 months, we consider him one of our Lonely Hearts which makes his adoption fee free thanks to a generous donor!
