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.

Story
Opie is an 8 month old purebred Australian Shepherd. He is such a sweet boy. He comes from a working line so he would make a wonderful farm hand! He’s amazing with other dogs, children and farm animals! Due to unforeseen circumstances I need to rehome him. He will come with his crate and 6 months of interceptor plus (heart worm prevention) and 6 months of Nexgard (flea and tick prevention). His adoption fee is $1,000 but is completely negligible! I just want to find him the best home. Thank you!

Story
Maya (known as Sydney in her foster home of 4 months) is a beautiful, smart, gentle and sweet girl. She is very loving, playful, eager to please, and house-trained. She has a very short tail and when she sees someone she loves, her whole body wiggles! She is very intelligent and quickly learned the names of her various toys and often figures out what you want her to do before you even ask. She loves to be outside in the yard with her person and her canine buddy; walks in the neighborhood she likes, but walks in the woods she loves. She wants to be your best friend and do everything you ask, but sometimes the world is a little too scary for her. She can be slow to warm up to new people and places, and likes to have a "safe space" all her own. She is cautiously happy to meet most women and some men, but she is timid with older men. She therefore is unlikely to do well in a home that includes an older man, but would likely do well in a home with a younger man. Although she has had very limited exposure, she seems fine with children. She has been fine (but shy) with the cat in her foster home. She is initially timid around most dogs, but would probably do well sharing a home with a confident, playful dog, and as you can see from the videos, once she's comfortable with another dog, she loves to run and play! Maya will need a meet and greet before proceeding with an adoption. She was rescued by HART after being surrendered to a shelter; we don't know where she lived before that. She has made steady progress coming out of her shell, but will need a person(s) who has some experience with anxious dogs and will be very patient and loving with her. Questions About this Animal?

Story
Hi! My name is Ozzy, and I arrived at OPH on 1/9/2026. I am Estimated to be a 2 year old Australian Shepherd mix. I have only been with Foster mom for a short time, but here is what she has to say about me so far: - I am very friendly and outgoing. Everyone is my friend! - I am good with other dogs - I love the car and will jump right in. Sometimes I think car rides equal snuggle time, so I needed to be seatbelted in to keep me out of foster mom's lap. - I LOVE toys, especially squeaky balls. Want to play fetch?? - I am high energy (typical for my breed); I'd love a hiking or running buddy! Lets do all the outdoor activities! - I haven't had any accidents in the house - I like the crate! I go right in with a treat and settle right down I sound pretty awesome, right?? Check back for more updates as foster mom learns more about me! Apply to adopt today!

These pups are in Fredericksburg, Virginia too!
