Story
Approximate Age: 3 years Approximate Weight: 10lbs Meet Ruffles!Here is what our volunteers have said about him so far: - Knows sit - Working on housetraining - Keeps a clean kennel - Doesn't mind the company of other dogs - Loves to go for walks - Loves a good game of fetch - He would love pets - but it is on his terms- he will give you a clear sign when he is stressed and done. If you ignore the signs you will get bitten. - If his warnings are ignored he may snap and try to bite you - May be best as a solo owner dog - Needs an understanding owner who will respect his boundaries *********************************************************************** Visit our website for an application to adopt. https://www.olddominionhumanesociety.org/adoption-application What breed am I? Mixed mutt! ODHS does not breed label (unless there's official paperwork), as studies show it is nearly impossible to tell the exact breed of each dog based off of their appearance. 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). More "sought out breeds may have a higher adoption donation) Adoption donations are to be made via cash, or credit/debit card. There is a $5 fee to run cards. We do not accept checks for adoption fees. Please remember to bring a martingale collar and leash (non-retractable) with you the day of the adoption. We typically have adoption events on Wednesdays 5-7pm, Fridays 6-8pm, and Saturdays noon to 4pm. Our adoption center is located at 3602 Lafayette Blvd, Suite 101, Fredericksburg, VA 22408. It's important that you keep an eye on your emails for any changes or updates during the adoption process. Old Dominion Humane Society is a volunteer based organization. We are run completely by volunteers, who also have full time jobs, so we appreciate your patience. Currently, the average timeframe for a response to your application is 1 week.

PLEASE READ: If you are interested in meeting and/or adopting, please apply online at www.catdogfriendrescue.com. Please do NOT call or send inquiries via Adopt A Pet or PetFinder as we are a small rescue and cannot handle a large influx of inquiries and phone calls. You can email us at acatsfriendinc@gmail.com if you have questions, but if you would like to be considered for adoption, you must fill out an application. Please note if you are applying for a kitten under six months of age, you must have another friendly kitty in the home or adopt another kitten. Additionally, unless otherwise indicted that this animal is a purebred, all of our animals are rescues and the "breed" selection is a best guess based on their apperance as we have no way of knowing their specific breeds.  Out of state adoptions (outside Virginia/DC/Maryland) do require three years of excellent past or current veterinary references. We look forward to hearing from you!  Adoption Fee includes spay/neuter and microchip insertion. ##2213440##

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
ADOPT ME ONLINE: https://ophrescue.org/dogs/13940Hi! My name is Waverly and I’m a Shih Tzu mixed breed dog, a 7 year young gal weighing a healthy 15 lbs. I'm retired from my past life as a breeder mama and ready to learn how to be a dog and get to know human love. Things to know about me:> I've got one blue and one brown eye (heterochromia) which is common in Shih Tzu dogs> Yes, I must have my tongue out in ever picture 😜😛👅> I am more of a lounger than an adventurer. Give me a comfy bed, couch, or lap and I am there! > But when my human gets home or returns from an extended period of time, I get very excited and love doing zoomies> I am crate trained (It's my safe space) and sleep like a rock during the night> I was weary of going outside but now enjoy short walks around the block. There is so much to sniff!> I working on potty training and doing really well considering where I came from. Sidewalks and driveways are good targets of opportunity. I'm a little skeptical of grass though. Maybe it's because grass tickles my bum?> I am excellent on leash, walking by your side, and once in a while make eye contact to make sure my walker and I are in sync. I can't wait to get to my forever home! Is that with you? Apply to adopt me today! This cuteness won’t be available for long!
