Story
Millie will be 2 years old on February 20th. She is half GSD, half American Pit. She had LOTS of energy, so she needs to be able to run, run, run. She's the fastest girl I know. She loves tricks, and knows too many commands to list here. She is very food motivated, and her favorite is tuna. She knows the sound of a can opening from anywhere. She LOVES people, and will do anything for some pets and cuddles. She is good with kids (I have a 2yo and 4mo), but she prefers to play with big people who can keep up with her. She has never bit anyone, but she will give vocal warnings when food is involved. She does NOT play well with dogs, but she can be socialized easily if someone has the time to work with her. She is very loyal. Fully house trained, but I recommend a crate for overnight and while you're out of the house (she chews often).

Story
Katanya is in a foster home! Let`s see how she is doing:`I couldn`t get Katanya out of my mind from our Expawdition and since she hasn`t had any successful meets at the shelter, I thought she may need a fresh start at my house. Sooo she`s my new foster.For now, we’re going to work on independence and confidence; she`s got a very secure yard to freely explore, is taking walks in the neighborhood to meet people and dogs, and has a comfy room to herself where she can snuggle and play with her toys.surprisingly, this girl is house trained!walks ok on leash but must be very vigilant as she`s strong when spookedloves to snuggle, bit of a lap doggreat in the bath, hops right in, stays stillgood with other dogs, both male and femaleplays in spray of hose, gets zoomies afterlikes to play fetch, is clumsy at catching but its adorableplays with her toys on her own (self entertained)sensitive to you (I fell and she ran right back to me, nuzzling my face, very sweet)non-destructive, even though she’s youngmostly sleeps through night (does get up 1x to play a little, then back to sleep)She likes to be with her person. Although curious to check things out, she feels safer when you’re close.She does need protection from herself until she calms down and learns that everything isn’t scary and her home is safe. So she’ll need someone that is committed to giving her the patience and consistency for insecure dogs. Definitely a securely fenced yard. Someone strong who can be vigilant on the leash.Besides those temporary things, she really is a cool girl. She’s strikingly beautiful with her lanky gait and goofy paws. She LOVES water and I can see endless days in the summer swimming everywhere. She’s smart, curious about everything, and would make someone a super loyal buddy for daytime adventures and night time snuggies.I think she would do best with meets off site, so I`m happy to arrange at my home.Katanya went on an ExPAWdition! Let`s read all about it:`Katanya - ExpawditionHopped right into car, but because she is an 85 lb nervous Nelly she wants to be in the front so I had to tether her in the back. She was spooked by large trucks going by and anything noisy, so I kept the car calm as we headed for a long walk at Noland.For such a nervous girl she was surprisingly pretty good on the leash! She obvi needs leash training but she doesn’t go nuts…she’s not interested in squirrels whi

Female, 4 yrs 7 mos
Williamsburg, VA

Story
Auntie Em is a beautiful, German Shepherd Dog/Pitbull mix (50/50 according to the DNA test). Her dark Brindle coat and copper eyes are simply stunning - this girl turns heads! She is about 3.5 years old and weighs 64 pounds. She is very smart, obedient, powerful, and full of energy. If you are interested, please research both breeds. High energy, working dogs require a lot of exercise and stimuli. Auntie Em is very particular with other animals. She has interacted with various sized dogs. Sometimes it's playful, sometimes it's not. She does not like when other dogs get in her face or show any excitement or dominance. There is not a lot of warning when she's upset. A new owner will have to work with her and learn her cues and how to redirect her. Her prey drive is there for little furry things too, therefore no kitties. Em would do best as the only pet. She has loved all the people she has met so far with proper introduction. She is CRAZY food motivated. Em will eat anything, but chicken seems to make her itchy. Poultry free diet for this girl! She is gentle when taking treats, but is a bit protective of her bowl and yummy treats. Because of this and her occasional bursts of energy (zoomies), no children under 12 in the household for this gal. Em will definitely benefit from some obedience training to polish her manners. She does know some basic commands. She will go in a crate, but she does not love it. Em can be trusted in the house alone as long as she has her toys. She LOVES her toys. She also loves to hang out on the couch and on the bed if you will let her. Em will go in the car just fine - she is a little anxious at first, but settles down. She is micro-chipped, UTD on vaccines and spayed. She does get seasonal allergies too, but it is easily controlled with medication as needed. Em is going to make a wonderful pet for the right owner. Is it you? If you are interested, please fill out an application on www.homesfurhounds.org.

Loki may be named after the god of mischief but his personality could not be more different. The crew here at Heritage have been known to call him “lovely” in all things. This good boy is fully house-trained and walks beautifully on a leash. He is sweet to people but would be best as the only dog in the house. Definitely no cats.

Story
We brought hades home 3 years ago as a puppy from a breeder in Tennessee. He is half mallinois, 1/4 German shepherd, and 1/4 great Pyrenees. He is a a big goofball and an amazing family dog. He loves our kids and is great with other dogs (we also have a teacup yorkie and they have always been compatible together). His personality is more great Pyrenees than it is Mallinois. Looking for a home that can give him room to run and explore and love him the way we do.
