Story
Hello I'm Thor! I may have the name of a superhero but deep down I just want to be loved. Since I lost my family Ive had a tough time. I lost my home after my original family went through an unforeseen tragedy and I was left without food or water for a week. I was very depressed for a long time and lived in a kennel for a while. I’ve been in and out of a couple foster homes but I haven't found my forever home yet. I know the right one is out there! I have been moved around a few times so I get really anxious in new homes. I need someone who is patient and is willing to give me a chance. I have a big heart and lots of love to share. My favorite hobbies? I like rolling in the grass, riding in the car, walks, yup-walks and more walks along with snuggling. It is my favorite “downtime” thing to do. Oh and I love to keep watch out the window. If you are busy, I am happy just to be around and watch, or nap, while you do human things. I have had some obedience work while living with fosters. I’ve learned to be crated. I really don't like it but a tasty treat will get me inside and once I'm in its naptime. I walk like a gentleman on the leash, but I do get excited seeing other dogs. I can be a little stubborn at times but I do well with firm but gentle verbal correction. What am I looking for in a home? I would prefer to be an only dog, so I can have all the attention. I get along with a lot of other dogs but not every dog. I have instantly loved every human female I have ever met, but not all men. I do have some favorite men in my life though. I just need to go slow with new guys. Trust is really important to me. My biggest need is to have a the security of a home and humans that give me love and attention. If you want a dog that will offer you his friendship and love for life. I’m your guy!

***LONG TIMER SPECIAL ELIGIBLE! In an effort to help our “Long-Timers” out of the shelter and into forever homes, adoption fees through the end of the year will be $0 for any animal who has been at the shelter for 6+ months. No adoption event or special fee weekend necessary!*** Amill- adult (5 to 8 year old) neutered male pit mix, 65 pounds, house trained, crate trained, good with dogs, not good with cats, good with kids, living in a foster home and has perfect house manners, really sweet affectionate dog. Amill has been living in a foster home for a couple months and he has shown what an awesome dog he is.  This boy is house trained, crate trained, has great house manners (other than barking at animals outside the window) and according to his foster mom, has been a pleasure to have in her home.  He loves car rides and is super friendly with everyone he meets.  He’s been great with the other dogs in the home and has shown no issues with toys and food with the other dogs or with the humans in the home.  He is a velcro dog who is super affectionate.  He is a pretty chill guy who doesn’t require much exercise, so he would be a great dog for a couch potato.  He loves to cuddle on the couch with you while you watch tv.  He does get bursts of energy where he runs around the house and he does like an occasional game of tug of war.  Amill likes taking walks although he can be quite leash reactive when he sees other dogs, which is something his future family will need to be willing to work on.  Other than his leash issues, he really is a perfect dog. Amill has the most beautiful brindle coat and the softest fur!  Amill had several lumps removed recently that came back as mast cell tumors.  After consulting with an oncologist, we were assured these were low grade tumors and they should cause no further issues.  It it common for mct to reoccur, so his future family should be willing and financially able to deal with this if need be.  Amill is an awesome boy and would make an excellent addition to almost any family.  If you would like to meet him, call the shelter at 757-385-4444 or you can email his foster mom directly at karenrph@gmail.com.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 5, 2024, 5:35 pm

Story
Foster Update: This sweet, tolerant girl has had a rough four years of life. She came to us with severe mange, allergies and malnutrition. The mange has been treated, she has gained 40lbs. and has been started on immunotherapy treatments, which she will need to remain on for life. She has been in foster for the past year while we worked on getting her stable. Lana has rapidly become part of her foster family and two resident dogs. She is not high energy. She loves to go for short walks and rides in the car. She is not necessarily cuddly, but she wants to be wherever you are and likes the occasional belly rub. Lana is house trained. Although in foster she has had limited contact with children, we think she would love the attention she would get from a house full of kids. Lana would be great with non-aggressive dogs. Future care would have to include continued immunotherapy for life. We would recommend she be followed by a vet that specializes in allergies. ***LONG TIMER SPECIAL ELIGIBLE! In an effort to help our “Long-Timers” out of the shelter and into forever homes, adoption fees through the end of the year will be $0 for any animal who has been at the shelter for 6+ months. No adoption event or special fee weekend necessary!*** LANA - 3 years old, house trained, dog social, kid social, will get into trash for food, chronic skin allergies . No cats.   Lana was surrendered when her family could no longer afford proper care for her skin allergies.  We have done allergy testing and starting immunotherapy but her special care will have to continue do potential adopters should be prepared. We’ve been told Lana needs constant attention to prevent her from scratching but hopefully immunotherapy will help this. Lana is otherwise a sweet sweet affectionate gal who has don’t nothing more than warning grunt when the toddler in her home pulled her tail. Lana and her big paws (!! We all comment on how big her paws are!!) is waiting to meet you! Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 5, 2024, 5:35 pm

DAKOTA - 6 years old, 35 pounds, house trained, no other pets, good with kids.   6 year old DAKOTA has been described as the 'sweetest soul on earth.' She is house trained and fun on a leash. She loves to run and does zoomies until she has you laughing out loud.  *Dakota loved her previous family's kids and although she loved her previous feline siblings, we are now looking for Dakota to be an only pet.  *Dakota can be timid around men and around people she doesn't know so slow introductions are vital to her successfully meeting new people.  *She loves to play and is very affectionate when she gets to know you.  *If you are interested in this pretty little petite pittie, please come to VBACAC and ask to meet her!  *Remember to let her proceed at her own pace. Let her approach you.

Story
Foster Update! Mid would love a private yard that he can come and go in at will (with proper supervision of course). My yard is down a flight of stairs so not as “free roaming” as he might want.  He refused to come inside until I got hot enough to insist. We can use the yard well but he would do well with one of those magnetic pet screens. He is doing better about not pulling when he is intrigued and walks very nicely on leash and must “patrol the perimeter” on his last walk before bed. He is playful listens well and has great manners. He is a pleasure!  Such a great boy! MID is a 5-8 year old boy, happy, active and friendly. He has those short legs supporting that low riding barrel tummy. He has a swagger when he walks. He is inquisitive and curious. He loves walks (and possibly jogging) and is an almost perfect loose leash walker. He makes it pleasant to walk next to and pleasant to stop and give a quick treat and kudos. Mid weighs a solid 73 pounds and he also loves to run and play in a yard, always with a smile, I might add. Mid is good with other calm dogs from what we have seen so far!

Hi everyone, my name is Chewie and as you can see, I am a total snuggle bug. I am in foster where they report that I am perfectly potty trained, do well with the resident cat, and learning how to be a proper gentleman from the resident female dog. I was so nervous and shut down at the shelter but I`m really letting my true colors show more and more now that I`m decompressing. I am described as affectionate, couch potato, and a lapdog. My foster says `I can`t get over how much love Chewie has to give! He is the most affectionate dog I`ve ever met.`Want to know more about me?

Our pets are physically located and fostered in NC until adopted. Once adopted we can transport to you or meet 1/2 way for the cost of our gas. We are 5 1/2 hrs west of Virginia Beach. Our pets are physically located and fostered in NC until adopted. Once adopted we can transport to you. We have a cost effective transporter that has stops in most north eastern states. Transport runs every 2 weeks. Please note! Don't just apply just because this dog has a cheap adopt fee. You must prove you can afford to adopt regardless! I find that most of the folks who apply for my reduced fee dogs back out when they realize they are still responsible for the transport fee. If this applies to you please don't waste our time! To the VA Beach area we can transport to your location for $200 or we can do halfway for $100. This will cover just my gas with today's high gas prices. You are welcome to drive to us in Mt.Airy, NC to pick up! Scarlett was born 2-1-21. Her mom was a german shepherd golden mix. We are not positive what dad was. Scarlett is active and very loving. She is good with people and ok with other dogs her size. She is too playful for small dogs. She needs a large dog only home. She is not good with cats. She needs an active home with room to run. She would not do well in a cramped up apartment with no exercise. She is house trained and crate trained, This baby will go home spayed and current on vaccinations, deworming, flea preventives, started on heartworm prevention and microchipped. This pup will receive a health certificate issued by our vet prior to going home. The adopter will get all his health records with the adoption. We require a prescreen application to apply.
