Story
We acquired Sylvia from the local dog shelter. Sylvia is 4 years old. Sylvia loves being outdoors. I believe she would be a great herding dog and perfect on a farm as I believe she requires to be worked daily. Sylvia would be great in a one or 2 person home. Sylvia is very obedient and listens very well. Sylvia gets protective over food. Best to feed in quiet space alone. We do not think she would be good in a home with children. She needs the attention.

These pups are in Fredericksburg, Virginia too!

Story
Approximate Age: 1 year Approximate Weight: 39 lbs Meet Ice 🧊 They call me Ice Blue in my foster home because of my beautiful blue eyes. I am full of love and an overall fun guy. I’m still young so have lots of energy. I love playing with toys, especially ones I can squeak and shake around. I haven’t met a ball I don’t like and will play fetch for hours if you will play with me. I know some commands and walk pretty good on a leash but could always use more practice with it. I’m searching for a family who is active or will let me get my energy out in a fun way. I get along with everyone I’ve met and while my foster home doesn’t have kids, if they will play with me, I’ll probably love them too. I haven’t met cats but I have met chickens and ducks and while they were new to me, I left them alone because they were kinda scary. I like dogs too - just make sure they give me a little space when we first meet because I need confidence to interact appropriately. I don’t love being in a crate but I will sleep in one throughout the night if it has a comfy blanket. I also keep my crate clean and know my potty manners. I haven’t had any accidents in the house and always use my outside time to relieve myself. I’m a bit picky about food. I like the good stuff (aka wet food) and take my time eating. I’m more interested in playing so I will need to learn your routine to understand that I can’t take all day to eat my breakfast. Right now I’m eating beef but I can probably adjust to any high quality food. Please give me a chance to be your new best friend. I promise to give you lots of love, snuggles and good times in return! ********************************************************************* Schedule a meet-and-greet by completing our Adoption Survey on the Adopt page of our website at https://www.olddominionhumanesociety.org/adoption-survey.
