Story
Blu is an amazing dog that I love dearly! He loves to run around outside and play - tug-a-war is he absolute favorite. He is a little shy but warms up very quickly - especially with a treat and scratch. He is two years old and very social. He has experience being around other dogs big and small and children too. He is very well trained. He does not go where he is not supposed to (for us its the kitchen and dining room), understands the verbal and hand commands (sit, go to bed, kennel..etc). He is great on leash and loves to explore. He has been trained to ring a jingle bell that hangs on the back door to go potty as well. So, why am I looking to re-home him? Sadly, we have experienced a medical change within our family that has decreased our availability significantly. Our home does not have a fence, so walking & playing with him to get his exercise has been very challenging due to our time. He deserves better and I want to ensure he gets the time and attention he truly deserves.

Tigre is an American Staffordshire terrier. He's 3 years old and he's the embodiment of a gentle giant. Loves to cuddle and likes to play around. His eyes are different colors and he's a little on the dumber side of things. His name means Tiger in Spanish.

Story
Meet Duke. If interested in Duke, please apply online at animalfriendsva.org then go to adopt and available pets and click on Duke. Meet Duke, a special boy with a heart of gold, ready to find his perfect forever home. Despite a challenging past incident, Duke is a sweet and loving companion who deserves a chance at happiness. While he may fall under dangerous dog regulations, his affectionate nature shines through, especially when there's food involved - he's incredibly food motivated! House trained and well-mannered, Duke is a gentleman who loves to greet you with his bowl or a toy in his mouth. He may have a distaste for lawn maintenance equipment, but he makes up for it with his love for car rides and walks. While Duke prefers to be the only pet or with a very submissive dog, he's proven to be a beloved companion for a 9-year old child and adores snuggling and belly rubs. With the right home that understands his needs and respects regulations, Duke is sure to thrive and bring endless joy to his new family. Because Duke is deemed dangerous, we will arrange meet and greets cautiously and do introductions slowly. His eyes and personality melted our hearts and we are so thankful Prince William County and then Fauquier worked with us to keep this guy alive. He loves his life at Animal Friends' Pampered Paws because it is all he knows. This poor guy deserves a home though. Could that be with you? If interested, applications can be completed at animalfriendsva.org and click on the adopt tab and then available dogs and scroll down to Duke. He will need to be registered as a dangerous dog where he is adopted. If you have questions about the laws in Prince William or Fauquier, please feel free to email us at va.animalfriends@gmail.com. We look forward to hearing from you.
