Story
Approximate Age: 1-2 years Approximate Weight: 11.6 lbs Finn just arrived to ODHS! We are still learning all about him. He is a very shy, nervous boy but warms up with time. Once he knows you, he loves you. When you initially meet him, he is a bite risk. With a couple weeks time and tender loving care, he will love you. He would do best in a home with older or no kids. Finn does great with other dogs. *********************************************************************** Visit our website for an application to adopt. https://www.olddominionhumanesociety.org/adoption-application Educational article: 3/3/3 rule: https://www.rescuedogs101.com/bringing-new-dog-home-3-3-3-rule/?fbclid=IwAR2iv5m7fqk3FieO7LOsstGeGsYYV_F1rJOd1BPxaImofLpcinpYsUbFRWs Adoption Donations are $275 for an adult, $375 for puppies (a dog under one year of age), and $175 for a senior dog (based on the age of the dog).

Story
About Charlie   Age 2.5years old Weight 16 pounds Energy level Medium Healthy status Healthy  Ideal home Fenced yard with someone home part of the day   Charlie came to us from a local shelter. Charlie is an affectionate Shih Tzu mix who loves toys almost as much as he loves his people. He can entertain himself for quite a while, burying his toys under blankets and pillows, walking around with a toy in his mouth, or lying on his back holding a toy with his paws. He also loves cuddle, lap, and play time with his people and will gaze adoringly into their eyes. He enjoys meeting new people (especially if a treat is involved!), but he will stay at a respectful distance and approach them on his own time.    Charlie is a sturdy boy who weighs around 16 pounds. He enjoys being the center of his guardian's world, so we are asking that he go to a home without to many dogs because we want him to be spoiled!  Charlie does great with no accidents if he is let outside in the backyard every few hours like most dogs. He will go on indoor pee pads if necessary. Charlie prefers not to be left alone for too long, so we are asking for a home with someone home part of the day.

Story
Courtesy listing Theodora is from a breeder, but never had puppies. She is now spayed, vaccinated and ready for a home. She has learned to walk on a leash and is good fo car rides. She will need work on being housebroken still. If you require a dog that is housebroken please keep looking. She spent her life in a crate. It takes time. She had her first ever hair cut and bath after being rescued and she will need regular grooming sessions for the rest of her life, she was very well behaved for clipping but wasn’t a big fan of the bath. She gets along with dogs and cats fine about 99% of the time, on rare occasions she can be bossy towards cats/ dogs but she isn’t aggressive and it’s not very frequent and might be better now that she is spayed. If interested please fill out an application.

Story
Vivian needs someone who is willing to put the time and energy into properly training her. We adopted her a year ago from a breeder of Shih Tzus. She was a year old and had not been purchased as a puppy. Despite her age, Viv had never been named or seemingly given any attention. She was timid and fully untrained. Over the past year, Vivian has relaxed with my wife and me. She loves to snuggle up against us and be petted. She does not relax with any other people. Her issue has worsened since we had a baby 3 months ago. She loves the baby, but barks and nips at the ankles of anyone else who comes in the house or room, even our 12 & and 15-year-old sons. Additionally, we have been unable to completely house-train Vivian. She continues to pee and poop in the house, even minutes after going outside. Viv does love other dogs. She spends hours playing and wrestling with our other dog, a sheepadoodle mix. Viv is not spayed. We are waiving adoption fee as new owners must get her spayed.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.JoJo was rescued from a local shelter. He was very matted and had not been properly cared for. He now has a new lease on life and is a happy loving boy. Unfortunately it seems as though he was never kept in a crate so he likes to bark when crated. He has also not met cats before now so he is VERY interested in them and it may not be a good idea to have him in a home with cats. If interested, please fill out an online application.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 19, 2024, 4:26 pm
