Story
Hi there, I'm Jace, a white and brown bulldog mix. I'm 55 pounds and as sweet as ever. I love nothing more than to snuggle up next to somebody and get belly rubs and head scratches. I'm also smart and have been working on sit, down, and leave it. I could learn more commands as I'm a motivated learner. Anything for a treat! My favorite toys include a Kong filled with kibble or peanut butter, bones, and stuffed animals. I like to play fetch (although I don’t always want to give the ball back) and tug of war! I would do great as somebody’s best friend. I like to follow you around the house and chill with you. I’m a goober! I don’t quite understand my size and will try to sit directly in your lap just to be close. I'm potty and crate trained and walk great on the leash. I'm not good with dogs, likely out of fear rather than true aggression. I was chained in a yard for most of my life before I was rescued. I was nothing but skin and bones from starvation which has now caused me to guard my food. I love cats except if they come around my food. One side of my face will never fill in due to what the vet thinks is an old injury, but that doesn't stop me from being a cuddly lover. I am neutered and vaccinated. I was heartworm positive, but I've completed treatment. I'm currently in Hampton, VA but I can be transported out of state for the right home. Please note, there may be a transport fee if volunteer transport cannot be arranged. If you're looking for a loving companion, I'm here for you!

Story
Hi… my name is Peta 💔 I don’t really know where to start, but I’ve been waiting a long time for someone to hear me. For most of my life, I didn’t know what it felt like to be loved. I lived outside on a chain with other dogs, no soft bed, no kind hands… just surviving. I was used to have puppies over and over, but no one ever made me feel like I mattered. Then one day, everything almost ended. I was in a shelter, scared and alone, and I was so close to not making it out. But someone saw me… and saved me. I thought that meant my life was finally going to begin. But I’m still waiting. It’s been over a year now, watching other dogs find their families while I stay behind. I don’t understand why no one picks me. I promise I’m trying so hard to be the best girl. Because the truth is… I love people. More than anything. I will snuggle right up next to you like I’ve known you forever. I’ll cover you in kisses if you let me. And belly rubs? Oh my goodness… those are my favorite thing in the whole world. I’ll roll over and wiggle just to make you smile. I’m a little goofy like that. I do really well with bigger kids, and I would love a family to laugh and play with. I’d do best as your one and only dog—but I promise, I have more than enough love, silliness, and loyalty to fill your whole heart all by myself. I know I didn’t have the best beginning… but I’m ready for my happy ending. I’m not broken. I’m just waiting. Waiting for someone to see me… to choose me… to give me the chance I’ve never had. Could that someone be you? 🐾 I am two and a half years old, vetted, spayed, and heartworm negative. I’m being fostered in Clayton, NC but can be transported to other locations. Please note, there may be a transport fee if volunteer transport cannot be found.

Story
Hi, I’m Layla Roxanne, a seven‑year‑old, roughly 55‑pound girl with a smile so bright it can change the whole mood of a room. I may be grown, but I’m still very much a puppy at heart—playful, expressive, and full of personality. I’m a talker, too, and apparently it’s pretty funny because everyone who hears me says I crack them up. I also love rolling onto my back to wiggle around and playing with tennis balls, which always seems to make people laugh even more. And that smile of mine? People say it’s contagious, the kind that makes you feel like everything is right in the world. I like to be honest about my quirks, so here’s one: the crate and I have a complicated relationship. I’ll go in and out on my own terms, but once I’m inside, I really prefer to be left alone. I’m also not good with other dogs, and I’m not a match for homes with kids or cats. I do best with someone who understands my boundaries and appreciates me for exactly who I am. I’m up to date on my shots, heartworm negative, and microchipped. I know my basic commands, and I’m doing well on the leash with a little guidance. I’m fully potty trained and ready to settle into a home where I can shine. I’m looking for an experienced bully‑breed adopter who understands my quirks, respects my space, and loves my big heart. I’m being fostered in Hampton, VA, but I can be transported to other locations for the right home. If you think we might be the perfect match, please apply to adopt me.

Story
Hello, I’m Hazel, an American Bulldog mix with a white and tan coat and a big smile. I’m a playful and sweet girl who loves to have fun and cuddle with my people. I’m house and crate trained. I get so excited to go for walks, and I’m very strong which means I can pull hard. I need an owner who can handle me and teach me some manners. I’m good with other dogs, especially mellow ones. We don’t know how I feel about cats, but I can be cat-tested if you'd like. I have a lot of energy and I like to run around and play with balls. Because of my size, any kids in the home would have to be older (over 10). But I also like to relax and nap in my own space. I have a large kennel where I feel comfortable and safe. I don’t like to be outdoors for too long and prefer to be inside with my people. I’m afraid of being abandoned, so I don’t like to go far from home or my people. I have some digestive issues, so I need a special diet of lamb and rice. I also need to be crated when I’m not supervised, because I can chew on things. I’m a big girl, about 77 pounds, and I can be clumsy sometimes. But if you are used to large dogs, you will love me. I’m a gentle giant who just wants to be loved. I have a lot of potential and I’m ready to show you what a great dog I can be. I’m spayed, vaccinated, and heartworm negative. I’m being fostered in New Kent, VA but I can be transported to other states for the right home. A transport fee may apply. If you think you are the one for me, please fill out an application and let’s meet. Must be at least 21 years old to apply. I can’t wait to see you!

Rex belonged to an elderly woman that passed away recently. He’s very clingy and likes lots of attention. He does get scared when it storms and has anxiety attacks so he has to take CBD gummies for dogs before a storm. He loves everyone especially kids. He does not like being left alone and he will try getting on your furniture when your not looking. He is house broken but he has to be on a leash
