Story

Meet Bazooka!! We recently took in this sweet litter and their mom from a local shelter. They are looking for indoor family homes. Their mom (Big Red) will have a separate post once she’s recovered from being a momma. Bazooka is a hound mix puppy and should be medium size when full grown. His mom is about 40 pounds at full weight and dad is unknown. He favors a beagle but may grow larger than that as his mom looks like a medium size hound. He currently weighs approx 7 pounds and is 12 weeks old. He will be given several sets of vaccines, dewormed, a microchip and neutered as part of his adoption. Bazooka is Mr. Fearless. He does everything first he was the first to howl, walk, climbing out of the pen etc. He is the adventurous and outgoing one. Very sweet and ready to have all the fun. He loves other dogs and loves kids. He has not met any cats yet but is young enough to learn. He is still young and learning all his training. He is not completely potty trained or leash trained yet. He has started crate training and does very well HOWEVER he is currently in the crate with his siblings, and it’s very likely that there will be some sleepless nights in your home with crate training once they are separated. He has not had any trouble sharing food treats and toys. *** These are NOT APARTMENT DOGS. Beagles/Hounds are very vocal dogs, it is just what they do. They bark and howl and make all the hound noises. They started howling at only 4 weeks old. We do not want a dog or family losing their home over the noise.*** Bazooka is currently active, happy, and playful. He has been raised inside and handled often since a very young age. He is very friendly and social. He is also smart and active. He loves to explore and play. He is an active puppy and will need lots of physical and mental stimulation to keep him happy and out of trouble. Hounds make amazing family pets. They are generally friendly and social. They do have a tendency to escape yards when bored. It is recommended to not leave them outside alone. They were bred to be hunting dogs and may take off over or under a fence to chase a woodland creature around. Adopting a young puppy is a ton of work. They will have lots of potty accidents, chew things up etc. You will need to help them learn things like leash walking, crate training and basic manners. It can be a lot of work but the reward is a dog that fits well into your family’s lifestyle if you invest proper time on training with them. Please carefully consider the time and effort a puppy requires before adopting. We do NOT adopt siblings into the same family. Before commenting on how sad etc, you feel that is please google “littermate syndrome” so you can understand why we take this precaution. It is done in the best interest of the puppies. Vet and home checks required. **No apartments due to how vocal they are. Located in Hampton VA. (He will need to be adopted within a 1 hour drive radius) ‼️Please message VillageDogResource@gmail.com or for faster response message our Facebook Page directly with questions or to get an application.‼️

Story

Meet Snowflake !! This big beautiful puppy is looking for a great home. She has made so much progress in her foster home and is the sweetest thing ever. We saved Snowflake and her sister (and their mom) only a few hours before the first snowstorm hit us. They were living outside in a pen with minimal protection from the elements. They are doing really well learning to live inside and enjoy life as real dogs. (Mom is named Blizzard she is posted separately) Snowflake is a female and is approx 5 months old. She weighs 45 pounds. They appear to be hound and Great Pyrenees based off their size and mom’s looks. She will likely be larger dogs. Her mom is 70 pounds and dad is unknown. She will be spayed, microchipped and up to date on vaccines as part of her adoption. Although she started her life outside in a pen she has really done a great job learning indoor house manners. She really enjoys life as part of a family instead of being outside. She has come so far and does so well now. Snowflake is a very sweet girl and extremely affectionate. She’s smart and has been learning things quickly. She loves to cuddle up with you on the couch or go outside and play. She has done fantastic with other dogs and kids. She likes to have another dog around to help adjust but doesn’t have to have one. She is fostered with kids and has done really well. She has not been fostered with cats so we are not sure how she would do. Snowflake has not had any trouble sharing food, treats or toys with other dogs or humans. She is not completely potty trained but is learning. She has started crate training and can be a bit vocal in there as she prefers to be out with her people. She has done fine on car rides. She is definitely new to leash walking. She was terrified of the leash when she arrived but is starting to learn how it works now. We expect her to be a big and strong dog that will be fairly energetic. Please be prepared to exercise each and every day so she does not become pent up and display negative behaviors. Training well and often is very important so you don’t end up with a large dog you can’t control. Pyrenees and hounds are both known for escaping yards. They go over and under fences with a tendency to roam. You will need to supervise them when they are outside. If left alone outside you are asking for them to find a way out. So far snowflake has not tried to leave the yard but it’s possible she will at some point. These breeds are also well known for being loyal and loving family dogs. Adopting a young puppy is a ton of work. They will have lots of potty accidents, chew things up etc. You will need to help them learn things like leash walking, crate training and basic manners. It can be a lot of work but the reward is a dog that fits well into your family’s lifestyle if you invest proper time on training with them.

Story

Meet Blizzard !! We recently took in this sweet girl and her two puppies. They were living outside in a pen with a large snowstorm coming in. Thankfully we were able to get them all here and they are so grateful for indoor life. (Her puppies Snowflake and Icicle are posted separately) Blizzard is approx 2 years old female. She appears to be a Hound Pyrenees mix. She weighs 74 pounds. She has been given several sets of vaccines, dewormed, a microchip and spayed. She is sadly heartworm positive but her treatment is included in her adoption. Blizzard initially had no idea how to be inside but she’s learned so quickly. She’s really doing well and has exceeded our expectations. She is not fully potty trained but has already started going to the door to alert she needs to go out. She is good with crate training but isn’t the biggest fan of it. She can be vocal in protest. She was nervous on her car ride but didn’t do to bad. She doing really well with her leash training so far. Blizzard is fine with other dogs but mostly ignores them. She’s good with it without another dog in the home. We don’t know how she would do with cats. She’s been good with all the kids she’s met so far. She so far has a lower energy level but that will likely increase as she becomes more settled and confident with indoor life. So far she doesn’t seem to understand toys. She gathers sticks to chew on instead. She was probably never provided with toys before. Blizzard will jump a short fence. She will either need a 6ft fence or have someone dedicated to exercising and potting on leash. Having a safe place for her to run would be ideal. She has not had any trouble sharing food, treats and toys with humans or other dogs. This sweet and beautiful girl hasn’t had a real life so far but she’s ready to have that now. If you’re willing to put a little more work and training into her she’s going to be an amazing dog for you. Vet and home checks required. Can jump short fences. Located in Hampton VA. (She will need to be adopted within a 2 hour drive radius) ‼️Please message VillageDogResource@gmail.com directly or for faster results message our facebook page with questions or to get an application‼️

Luna

Jack Russell Terrier

Female, 7 yrs 1 mo

lackey, VA

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Meet Luna !! Very sweet and low-key girl that is looking for a lap to sit on. Despite her breed she is not extremely active. She was adopted back in 2021 and sadly her adopter has some significant life circumstances preventing her from giving Luna the life she deserves. I can tell you Luna has been loved so much in her first home. She is ready to share that love with her new family. Luna is an approx 7 year old female Jack Russell mix. She currently weights 10 pounds and is full grown. She is already spayed, microchipped and up to date on her vaccines. She is heartworm negative. She was a bit difficult for the vet as she has some trust issues with strangers trying to restrain her. She is a very sweet and loving dog once she has a day or two to trust you. She is fearful at first and needs some space. After that she is very good about things. She would love a home that is not gone as often but has been able to handle a foster home where the family works a full day. Just as long as she gets lots of love and attention when you get home. Luna has done okay with smaller male dogs but really doesn’t care much for doggie friends. She is fostered with a male dog her size and does well but doesn’t really want much to do with him. Smaller male dogs that leave her alone would be the best match or a home without other dogs. She does not do well with female dogs. She has lived with cats in the past and done fine. ***The dog in the photos with her is Juno. We also took her back in to rescue. They have lived together however Luna is not always nice to Juno so they aren’t the happiest together*** She would do best in an adult home. She has never lived with kids and really doesn’t like a high energy household. She is fun and playful if you want to take her to do stuff but really likes to just lounge around on the couch with her family. We don’t think she would do the best with young children. Possibly teens that can leave her alone when she isn’t interested in being messed with. We were told she has some anxiety when left home alone and not crated. She has so far done really well crated at her foster home. She has also done great left out in the house to roam all night while her foster family sleeps. She will pull things through the crate and rip them up if she can reach them. Luna does decent on the leash when she is not scared. If she is scared, she will try to stop walking or pull away. She is fine on car rides. She is somewhat potty trained. She has been doing really well using puppy pads inside. She has not wanted to potty on the leash outside but may do better with a fenced yard. She has only had two accidents not on the puppy pads since she arrived and those were on the first day. She has had no trouble sharing food, treats or toys with other dogs or humans. She likes to sit on the couch and watch everything. You need to take it slow with her at first. She can get scared easily and try to bite for a day or two if you push her. After that she will love you and be comfortable with you. She does prefer women but is currently fostered with a male and adjusted to him quicker than we expected. Luna is going to make the right family very happy. She would love a low key home that would give her all the attention. She would prefer no other dogs or kids but may do okay with the right dog and the right age/temperament of kids. She really is a sweet girl that is ready to settle down in her forever home. Vet and home checks required. Located in Hampton VA. (She will need to be adopted within a 2 hour drive radius) ‼️Please message VillageDogResource@gmail.com directly with questions or to get an application.‼️

Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Meet Tux !! This handsome boy is looking for a loving home. He’s been a family dog his whole life and would love to find a family that’s loyal to him. Tux had a family that decided he wasn’t worth the time anymore. We were thankfully able to get him before they dumped him at a crowded shelter. He did nothing wrong to lose his family. He’s a super sweet boy. He is an approx 2 year old, male American bully/staffy type mix. He weighs 60 pounds and is full grown. He is neutered, up to date on vaccines and microchipped. He is thankfully heartworm negative. Tux came from a home with multiple kids. He’s done very well with children. He is still big and excited at times. He may accidentally knock over small kids but he does not have any aggressions towards them. He can be initially shy meeting new people. As soon as he realizes you’re safe he’s so full of love. He adores people that are kind to him. We aren’t sure how his life was before but he cowers and behaves as if he’s had some harsh corrections in the past. Tux has done well with all the dogs he’s met so far. Other dogs sometimes get annoyed with his hyper play so a tolerant playmate would be best. He doesn’t always pick up on cues when another dog is done playing. His previous family said he’s good with cats but we have no idea if that’s true or not. He is crate trained and rides well in the car. A little nervous but nothing to bad. He’s working on leash training. He still pulls when excited. He understands potty training but still has some accidents. Mostly bc he doesn’t like to go outside alone. He will stand by the door and not potty if you don’t go out with him. He is also still marking things indoors. He was neutered today so we expect to see that behavior fade away. Tux has a medium energy level. He loves to go outside with you and also to roughhouse with other dogs. A little playtime and some walks seem to keep him pretty balanced. He also loves puzzle toys and games like a snuffle mat. It’s not to hard to meet his energy needs with just a little effort and attention. He loves to play ball and tug o war with you. Otherwise he hasn’t really played much with toys on his own. Tux has shown no food aggression with people. He takes treats very gently from you. He is a rushed and messy eater so we suggest feeding him separately from other dogs. He is happy to eat in his crate or in another room if you have other pets. He likes to rush in to see what treats are in your hand and that might trigger other dogs if yours don’t like to share. This sweet boy has so much potential. He’s very loving and sweet. He just wants a family that’s kind and loving toward him. He needs some refinement in his basic manners but overall he’s a really good boy.

Story

Meet Big Red !! This sweet girl has had it rough. She’s taken it all in stride and remained the happiest and friendliest dog throughout it all. We took her and her 7 puppies in from a shelter. She was extremely thin and appeared to have lived outside her whole life. Despite being starved she was a fantastic mom to the pups. When she went to her spay appointment they found she had pyometra (an infection in unspayed dogs.)Thankfully it was caught in time and she is recovering well. Big Red is approx 2 years old. She is a hound mix. She weighs 35 pounds and is close to full grown. She came to us very skinny and is still regaining her weight so she may gain a bit more. She has been given several sets of vaccines, dewormed, microchipped and spayed. She was heartworm positive when she arrived but just finished her treatment for it. She loves other dogs of all sizes and ages. She also loves kids and is very gentle with them. She has not been fostered with cats so we are not sure how she would do. She is a gentle soul and never had any issues with other animals or people around her puppies. She has really been such a sweet natured girl. Big red is good with crate training and great on car rides. She is okay on a leash but definitely needs additional training with it. She is new to learning all the indoor life skills but so far she is learning so quickly. When she first arrived she was jumping up on kitchen counters etc. She has learned so many manners in just a short time and is becoming a very easy dog to have around. She is working on her potty training. She’s doing really well considering all she’s been going through. With her being sick, feeding puppies, and us giving her round the clock food for her weight gain, she struggled a bit. Now that she’s eating regular meals and no longer has the infection she is doing way better. She may still have accidents but she is learning. Big Red so far has a medium energy level. She is mostly laid back and relaxed. She does enjoy to run around the yard with the other dogs and play but is not extremely energetic. She may become more energetic once she fully recovers from everything. She will jump a short fence. She will either need a 6ft fence or have someone dedicated to exercising and taking her out on a leash. If you are outside with her she rarely will jump it and responds well to verbal correction when you see her thinking about going over it. Having a safe fenced place for her to run would be ideal. Big Red really enjoys toys. We are not sure if she has ever had them prior to coming to us but she is head over heals in love with them now. She currently is unwilling to share her toys with other dogs once she has them. She does not like other dogs trying to take them. This may pass with time or it may not. She has not had any trouble sharing her food or treats with humans or other dogs. She has no trouble sharing her toys with people. If you’re looking for an all-around awesome family dog then Big Red may be the one! She is looking for a family to continue her training and give her the loving indoor home she always deserved. ➡️Vet and home checks required. ➡️Can jump short fences. Located in Hampton VA.
