Story

Meet Scarlett !! This girl is absolutely stunning. A beautiful and sweet girl. Please be sure to read her entire post before messaging us. If we can tell you did not take the time to even read about her to see if she fits your family then we will know you are not a serious adopter. Scarlett is an almost 2 year-old, female. She is a purebred Irish Setter. She weighs 60 pounds. She will be vaccinated, microchipped and spayed as part of her adoption. She has been fantastic with all other dogs she’s met. She loves to run and play all over the back yard with them. She has been really good with taking cues from other dogs on how and when they want to play. We do not know how she would do with cats. Scarlett has not been fostered with kids since she arrived to us. She is not at all aggressive and we do not think she would intentionally hurt a child; we do see some behaviors that we feel would not be a great fit with younger children. When excited she can be extremely hyper. This is not all the time and doesn’t last long however, she can be a lot in those moments. When first out of the crate in the morning or when you return home, she is overly excited. Behaviors include jumping all over you, barking, and she will put her entire mouth on your arm or hand. She has torn clothing so it’s not a pleasant experience when it happens. This is not aggression but it is something that may accidentally hurt a child or be mistaken for a bite. After a few minutes this hyper energy subsides and she is much calmer and able to listen and be more well behaved. This is trainable and she will learn. She is taking correction well and figuring out what not to do. Scarlett’s energy level is very mixed. She has crazy hyper moments as described above. She will run around the yard for a bit and then she becomes more snuggly and calmer. She has two modes, crazy hyper and chill. She will need a fully fenced in yard at least 6ft tall so she can run off those crazy energy moments. She can and will jump a shorter fence. She does really well with her basic house manners. She has done fantastic with potty training. She is great on car rides but needs to be tethered unless you want her in your lap while you are driving. She is crate trained and has no trouble staying crated during a normal work day. She is wild when you return so you need to make sure you have an outlet for that energy. She would prefer to sleep in bed with you but can sleep in her crate. She has not messed with anything in the house so far when left out of the crate alone. She is working on leash training but currently still pulls when excited. We have not seen any issues with her sharing toys, treats or food with humans or other animals. She will occasionally see if she can grab any goodies off the counter tops. Scarlett loves to jump up on you and give you a giant hug. She also loves to play fetch and just hang out with you. She will lay by you while you watch TV or go on an adventure with you. She loves being outside and enjoying the sights and smells. She is a truly beautiful dog and she is very sweet. She will need a family that can work on her training and give her that energy outlet that she needs. She also came to us with hair mats from lack of brushing/grooming. With the long hair there will be additional upkeep to make sure that does not happen again. Vet and home checks required. 6ft or higher fully fenced yard required Located in Hampton VA. (She will need to be adopted within a 1-hour drive radius) ‼️Please message VillageDogResource@gmail.com directly (or message our facebook page for faster response) with questions or to get an application.‼️

Story

Meet Apple !! This little cutie is looking for a great new home. She is fun and sweet. Apple is an almost 1 year old female. She is a Boston Terrier mix. She currently weights 19 pounds and is full grown. She will be spayed, microchipped and up to date on her vaccines as part of her adoption. She is heartworm negative. We aren’t sure the cause of it but Apple has a head tilting abnormality. Our vet isn’t sure exactly why but it could be a neuro issue. She can hold her head straight but more often than not she tilts it to the side. It causes her no issues and she behaves completely normally aside from tilting the head. We wish we had more answers but we don’t. She’s been happy and healthy since arriving, she’s just a little special. We are currently trying a antibiotics and steriods to see if they may help. Apple is a great little dog. She is fun, playful and feisty but does not have an overwhelming energy level. She likes a lot of lap and couch cuddles. She will run and play with the other dogs and then be ready for a nap or to lounge around and chew on a bone. She has been very easy to have in the home so far. She is crate trained and will sleep in her kennel all night but she prefers to sleep in bed with you. She has not had any problems staying home during a normal work day. She is good with leash training and also does really well on car rides. She is mostly potty trained. She does not alert you when she needs to go out so it takes a bit to figure out her routine in new places. Apple has done great with dogs of all sizes. She loves to run and play with them. She can be a little feisty with ones that get in her face. She has no problem telling another dog when she is done playing or needs some space. She has not been aggressive she just sets clear boundaries with other dogs. We have not had her around cats so we are unsure how she would do. She is not fostered with kids but we think she would do well with respectful children that do not treat her like a toy. She has had no trouble sharing food, treats or toys with humans. She does not do well sharing her food with other dogs. She should be fed in her crate or a separate room if you have other pets. Her foster says she is an easy, cuddly, fun little girl to have around the house. If you are looking for a sweet, fun, smaller dog that is almost fully trained already then this little lady may be the one for you! ➡️Vet and home checks required. Located in Hampton VA. (She 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 Walker! He came into the 4 PAWS family in May 2020; emaciated, heartworm positive and had several wounds. Walker has made a complete transformation! He is a sweet 7-year-old, 74lb silly boy who is good with kids and other dogs but hasn’t been cat tested. Walker was treated for heartworm and has tested negative. This breed mix can be high energy and very smart which means he will require exercise (mentally and physically). He will also need a 6ft fence with plenty of area to run. His new family needs to be committed to daily exercise, continued training, and socialization. If you are interested in adoption; DO NOT CALL, please complete an online application on 4 Paws Animal Rescue's website at www.4pawz.org. We verify the care of past/current pets. Our goal is to have the very best home for all our dogs and cats, and therefore, we reserve the right to approve or deny an application based on what we determine is in the pet's best interest. #lovedogsforever #mixedbreed #walkerhound #rescuedisthebestbreed #dogs #dogsareacommittment #rescuedog #lovedogs #adopt #adoptdontshop His rescue journey video: https://youtu.be/kYnnAodx1lo

Story

Please welcome back Prince to the 4 PAWS family! He was adopted in February 2022 and returned (through no fault of his own) in January 2023. During that time we believe he was excessively crated and not exercised; Prince is now thriving in his original foster home. He is a 3-year-old Husky mix weighing 58 lbs. Prince does well with both cats and dogs, we haven't tested him with children. He is a high-energy dog (he currently runs 3 miles a few days a week with his foster family, and he could easily run farther. Prince needs a strong owner, he will need someone who will teach him their rules, boundaries, and limitations. Prince knows many commands; sit, lay down, he knows how to heel when running, and he knows how to wait. With proper exercise and enrichment, Prince will make an excellent family member! If you are interested in adoption; DO NOT CALL, please complete an online application on 4 Paws Animal Rescue's website at www.4pawz.org. We verify the care of past/current pets as well as home information.

Story

Meet Jazz and Wobbles! These two are a mother and daughter pair who came to us in August from a local animal control. They were part of a hoarding case and are very attached. THIS IS A BONDED PAIR AND MUST BE ADOPTED TOGETHER. Jazz is a 4.5-year-old Yorkie mix weighing 15 lbs. Wobbles is a 6.5-year-old Yorkie mix weighing 25 lbs. Both had cherry eyes when they arrived, and we fixed the surgery but Wobbles’ returned. Because they haven't been outside much until now, they're scared of new things and noises, so they need to have a fenced yard. They love attention but need time to trust you. They're currently living with other dogs and a child in their foster home without any problems. If you're patient and willing to give them love, they'll be wonderful additions to your family! Remember, adopting a dog means committing to them for life. If you're interested in adopting Jazz and Wobbles, please don't call. Instead, fill out an online application on 4 Paws Animal Rescue's website at www.4pawz.org. We check the care history of past and current pets to ensure the best homes for our animals. We reserve the right to approve or deny applications based on what's best for the pets. #lovedogsforever #yorkiemix #littledogs #dogrescue #dogs #rescueismyfavoritebreed #dogsareacommittment #rescuedog #lovedogs #adopt #adoptdontshop

Story

Meet Storm! She came to us pregnant and with heartworms from a shelter in rural North Carolina. Since then, she's raised her puppies (who've all found homes), been spayed, and successfully treated for heartworms. Storm is a 3 years old, 48-pound American Bully who's incredibly sweet! She's currently in foster care with dogs of all sizes and is doing great. Storm also gets along well with kids, and we've introduced her to cats but she is a little to interested so NO cats. She's a bit cautious around men, preferring to stay away from them if she can (she finds comfort in her crate). If you're looking for a loving new family member, Storm is the perfect choice! Remember, adopting a dog means committing to them for life. If you're interested in adopting Storm, please don't call.
