Got Rylo from a friend when he was just 3 weeks old, he is now 1 year and 8 months old. I am looking for someone with a nice yard for him to run in which I am unable to provide. He loves to run and play but where I live I don’t have the room for him to do that. He is a very playful and funny dog.

Story
Meet Ice, he is a neutered male, approximately 3yrs old. September 3rd he arrived emaciated as you will note in the third picture. He has since gained weight nicely. Ice enjoys car rides and he has calmed down substantially. He will still need continued and consistent training. He needs time and love. He loves everyone. He will need to be tested with other pets/animals if you have any. He should not be fed with other dogs. Happy to meet at a TSC for a meet and greet. I would recommend bringing additional pets to meet. Or we can have an in-home sight visit, to ensure everyone gets along. Adoption fee will go to Worsham Cats Rescue as they helped with his vetting.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Woody has such a big heart! Once he bonds with “his” people, those bonds are extremely strong.... but it does take time. He warms up faster to women than men, but men are a close second; ultimately, he bonds strong with both. Woody will give the family that’s patient and the “right match” much joy and unconditional love. Woody tends to be insecure, and he can be very nervous and anxious in new situations or around new people. We believe this is because when he was a young dog he was bounced from location to location. He came to VA by way of NC. Once in VA he was at two different shelters and with two different rescue organizations before coming to The Furever Project. Our organization is committed to fining this loving, goofy, insecure guy his forever home. Woody’s ideal home is going to have lots of space and must have a fenced yard where he can run and play (no apartment or townhouse living for this guy). Woody would not do well in a home with young children. When he gets excited (and he does get the zoomies) it’s hard for him to put on the brakes quickly and he would easily knock down young children. Woody would benefit greatly from being in a home where daily exercise is priority. He does enjoy going for long walks and/or long runs and he can definitely go the distance! Woody does take daily medication to help with a mix of anxiety and high-energy. Woody will do best in a home with a routine and structure. He’s very observant. When things change up on Woody, it can be hard for him to adjust. You can tell he’s trying to figure out what’s going on when the wrinkles appear in his forehead, and he looks from side-to-side trying to figure out why things are different. Woody is extremely intelligent and a very fast learner. He loves working on trick training which can be a lot of fun. Woody would be a joy, and in some respects a challenge, for anyone who enjoys and is passionate about training! Woody does live with other dogs but he requires slow, controlled introductions. Because of this, Woody is not a candidate for dog parks. Woody plays hard and is vocal (barking) during play, but only during play. Doggie siblings would need to be tolerant of his style of play. Woody has been with us for over two years now and waiting for a home of his own for at least three years or more. We believe there is a home for every dog. Could Woody’s home be with you?  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 4, 2024, 12:24 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Bonnie came to our rescue in 2021 from a local shelter partner. She was found as a stray full with milk and must have given birth recently. Animal control searched for her puppies but could not find them. Bonnie was totally shot down at the shelter hovering in the corner. When we came to meet her it took us a while to get her to come to us. With patience we were able to open the gate and get her out. She immediately jumped into the lap of one of our volunteers. Well, we could not leave her behind.Fast forward, after a few months of decompressing and getting used to living in a house she became, although still shy, a sweet girl with lots of love to share.Although she is curious with animals through her crate, Bonnie does not like to share her space with other animals outside of her crate and must be the only animal in the house.Bonnie is house and crate trained and her favorite thing is to lay on the couch. She is looking for effection and is the sweetest girlBonnie rides well in the car, is a healthy 5-year old girl and is doing well at vet visits. No problem trimming her nails either. Although generally a very quiet girl, Bonnie likes to run a few laps around the pasture every day to keep her energy under control.Due to Bonnie's fears she is looking for a home where she is the only animal, children 8+ and we require a fenced backyard for her. If you are not ready to adopt please consider fostering her. All expenses, i.e. training, medical care, supplies is paid for by the rescue. We do not know what happened to this poor girl before she was picked up by animal control. All we can do is to look into her future and make life a happier place for her. If you are interested to learn more about this gorgeous girl feel free to email us at bobbiespitrescue@gmail.comVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.January 6, 2025, 5:45 pm

She  knows basic commands like sit, stay, and come, and is eager to learn more! She is also crate trained and housebroken.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Say "hello" to our sweet Sheba! She may be knocking on the door of 13 but don’t let that fool you! She is still down to play like a pup even though she thinks nap time is the best time.   Sheba is always excited to meet people, and she makes fast friends with everyone she encounters, but she will take it personally if someone walks by without saying hello. She also likes other dogs and has done well with the dogs she's interacted with, including the test dog at the shelter, the 10-year-old male pup she previously lived with, and the young puppy in her foster home. (She hasn't been cat tested yet, so we don't know how she is with kitties.)   Sheba is housebroken, good on a leash, and well behaved in a crate— but she can be left home alone without fear of any bad behavior. She's also a great passenger on car rides, although she may need some assistance or strong encouragement getting into vehicles. Sheba seems to be hard of hearing, so her foster mom has been working with her on some commands using hand signals. So far, she knows "sit,” "stay," and “down” pretty reliably. As Sheba is food-motivated and enjoys her training treats (as well as the occasional carrot or ice cube!), we're sure that she'll pick up more commands in no time!   Sheba's foster mom reports that she's a pretty relaxed dog. She's not "in your face" like younger dogs can sometimes be, but she's always happy to be near people and loves to cuddle on the couch. Sheba isn't a loud dog, either, although when she has something to say she lets you know.  As long as you’re fluent in Wookie, you’ll have no issues! (It's quirky and adorable!)

Story
Chloe, and her sister Honey, are absolute sweethearts when it comes to personality! They are full of energy, love, and life to give! They were found running loose together as strays, and sadly, no one came to reclaim them. They were covered in scars and had a bad skin allergy. We aren't sure of what life was like before coming to our rescue, but they were not loved properly. Chloe loves Kongs, she's crate trained and has a ball running in her foster's large fenced in yard. She is slowly becoming the perfect house companion and enjoying life as a loved companion, rather than an outside dog. Chloe is very stocky in size and she has the most adorable nub tail. She plays great with other dogs, but has not been tested with cats. If you would like to adopt Chloe, please submit an application! https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/66b189c45d6f9afa2c07afb8/67b34baa899688d2cc092974
