Timmy was picked up as a stray and no one ever came to claim him. He is now looking for a new place to call his own. We estimate him to only be about a year old. Timmy loves people and for the most part likes other dogs (meet and greets required). Timmy is clean about his kennel and is learning how to play fetch. He knows to sit for treats but is still learning.

This little sweet heart is Macy. Macy came to the pound with several other dogs. She had a rough start in life, but she has been working very hard on learning new skills. She has been behavior tested and has passed with flying colors. While Macy has a very serious expression, she can be silly as any little dog. She loves waiting attentively for her treats every afternoon. Once she gets hers, she takes it gently and puts it in the very back of her bed. She sits with her tail sticking out and constantly wagging. She doesn't stop till it's all gone and she is licking her lips. She thinks peanut butter is the best. Macy continues to work on her leash walking and doing her biz outside.

She is looking forward to a real home, something she has never had. Please contact Jacky Wilson at ofni.avretsecuolg@nosliwj or at 804-693-5290 She will bring new life to your world and you will do the same for her. You will be riding around with one of those stickers that says "Who Rescued Who?"

Meet sweet and handsome Kadaphia, or K Dog for short. He is such a funny and energetic boy you won't be able to stop smiling.

Kadaphia is believed to be about six years old and weighs about 60 pounds. It is thought he might have some Boxer in his line, but that is just a guess. He is a happy, healthy boy who is ready to find his own new family. He is playful and would love someone who could take him for long springtime walks, or maybe a fenced in yard for fun games of fetch. Then perhaps a fluffy bed or a snuggle on the couch with his new best friend. He is a big guy, so that should be kept in mind. However, he doesn't have a mean bone in his body and would love to have all the love and attention you can give him.

To learn more about this fine boy or to set up a meet and greet, please contact Joyce Emerson at 757-376-8360 moc.liamtoh@06nosremej

Rescued from a local shelter when he was not doing well, turns out Spencer is just a silly, goofy, happy pup full of personality! He loves to play with his people, he wants to be your best bud, and has never met a toy he didn't like! He is very playful with other dogs, although he needs a proper introduction first. He has a lot of puppy energy and is still learning all that comes with being a good dog. He needs a family that will continue training and give him the exercise and playtime he needs. He is crate trained and is always up for a walk or a road trip! Then home for a snack, belly rubs, some kisses and couch snuggling! When he looks at you, it is with pure love, and he has a smile that stretches from ear to ear.

This handsome little guy came into the shelter as a younger puppy, emaciated and scared and he had obviously been kept outside and had no training. While he was safe at the shelter he did not do well in that environment. He was pulled into foster care where he is doing so much better, and now he is working on how to be the best dog he can be! He is treat motivated and eager to please! He his very playful and still puppy like but he does have a relaxed mode (on occasion) and makes an excellent napping partner! Although he is a snorer! He is crate trained and is doing excellent with potty training. He loves all things rubber, (with the occasional stuffy thrown in) and balls are his jam. He loves to play fetch although we are still working on the return part. lol This boy needs a family committed to helping him learn and navigate the world with positive training and exercise. He is doing well with his leash training after his initial excitement and has good focus, especially when treats are involved!

Tilly is ten-year-old and sixty-pound Plott Hound mix. Tilly just lost her home because she does not have patience for new dogs visiting her home. Tilly is a senior lady and deserves peace and quiet. Tilly needs an experienced dog person who will give her the calm, security, and routine she needs. Tilly has lived great as an only dog on a routine. Housetrained, loyal, and a great companion. Tilly thrives with a quiet routine household that has visitors leaving their dogs at their home. No other dogs would be best for Tilly. Healthy, heartworm negative, fully vetted, spayed, Tilly loves being close to her person and is happy to just have someone in her life who she can love and protect. Tilly is in her senior years, and we're told she could end up at the shelter and as an owner surrender if she is not rehomed soon and will be put down. Please don't let that happen! Tilly has been a loyal good companion, and It isn't Tilly's fault her circumstances changed in her home. if you meet the criteria to foster or adopt Tilly, please apply to help her. Apply on CrisisDogsNC.org. We reply only to completed applications, no calls. Excellent vet reference and virtual home visit required. Your prior or current dog must be on year-round heartworm prevention. We prefer fenced yard, but this is not required for all our dogs.

UPDATE AND FOSTER REQUEST: Sweet Claire is still looking for a new and forever home. Claire has made good use of the time she has spent with us. She has learned about walking on a leash, and knows several basics like sit, stay, treat, and good girl. The last one always makes her wiggle. She keeps her run clean and is ready to do her biz outside. She is full of love and kisses and takes treats very politely. She is a favorite here at the pound and we think she is great!

Recently she was adopted by a family but was returned the next day. So, this was not the family for her, but we are certain her forever family is out there and we have promised her we will help her find it.

Unfortunately, she has a possible ACL tear, or some unknown leg injury. The vet wants her on "doggie bed rest" to give her leg time to rest enough to go to the next step.

Have you been on the fence about taking on a pup? Claire is in need of a foster home where she can get the rest she needs and get the love and attention she deserves while her leg rests. This busy and noisy pound is not ideal for this. She wouldn't need much. A calm quiet only animal home, quick trips outside, then back inside to hang out. She would be so happy just to be with you. A nice soft bed and some tummy rubs and head scratches and loving would make her world. Perhaps you will fall in love with her as we have. She is still available for adoption if that happens. For more information, please contact ACO Jacky Wilson at ofni.avretsecuolg@nosliwj, 804-693-5290 or Joyce Emerson 757-376-8360, text or call or moc.liamtoh@06nosremej;

When applying, we require a meet and greet of all household members, 2 or 4 legged.
Claire is doing her best to be a patient pup and looks forward to meeting you. She is such a love bug!

Location: Hanover, VA

Hanover County Animal Control and Shelter has this young sweet Pitbull named Drake ( ID# 583944) Drake is approximately 1 year old and came to us as an owner surrender because the family had just brought home a newborn and could not take care of both. He has been with us since October and is urgently looking for his forever home.

Drake is just like any other 1 year old dog with little to no social skills. He is great with people and kids but does need to learn some manners with other dogs. He has been out in the yard with some dogs both male and female and goes on walks with other dogs as well but has always been supervised due to his lack of socialization. We would recommend he go to a household with no dogs or an experienced dog owner who would give him proper training with other dogs. He does well on a leash with his harness and can walk long distances with ease. He is also very food motivated and easily trainable. During his daily walks he gets to visit a 10- and 8-year-old and does very well, he knows to be gentle and is very sweet. He loves to play ball and run around the field across from the shelter. Since he is only a year old, he needs more stimulation than the shelter life can provide and sadly we are full of dogs.

Come meet Maggie at Heritage Animal Hospital; upon arrival she will shake your hand, give you a sweet hug or provide you some much needed slobbery kisses. Once the initial introductions are completed, a good ole belly rub will do the trick. Speaking of tricks, Maggie already knows things like SIT and STAY. Smart and sweet girl! She is well mannered and good protector.

Look at that SMILE; She absolutely LOVES people! She does needs to be an only dog but that isn't a big thing. She gets along ok with those other furry friends called felines. So if you have a dog savvy cat, Maggie would like to meet you! She is a fun loving, roll in the grass, life of the party, cuddle bug girl who knows a good thing when she sees it!

Her estimated age is 7 years old. So you know you skip all the craziness of puppyhood, like crate training, potty training, chewing on everything, and you get a the liviliness without all the puppy training.

If interested in giving this girl a loving and happy home or want more info on Maggie, contact Heritage Animal Hospital at (919) 435-1978. She has been waiting with HAH for over two years and really wants to find a loving, caring and special family to call HER OWN. Currently she lives in a 6 by 3 ft run and needs some more engagement!

Phoenix is from the same household as KINCER! If you follow RDR, you are very familiar w/ KINCER. You helped me save him. I’m praying someone out there can also help Phoenix.

Per his foster ....
“Phoenix was seized from a drug house when the owners were arrested. He was 39 lbs & could barely walk. He was unable to eat or drink due to paralysis in his mouth due to severe untreated lymes and neglect. He was pulled from the local shelter on October 4th with the slimmest chance of making it.

2 months later......
"I'm Phoenix and I am amazing! I'm probably 7ish but full of life. I'm about 50 lbs and gaining every day. I can eat dry food and drink water from elevated bowls independently which is a huge deal. I still need some supervision while eating to make sure I'm okay. I can eat canned food from a spoon with verbal cues to swallow. I have some kidney damage, but I drink and pee great. However, I'm continent and only need some reminding not to pee on table legs. I'm easy to walk and have gotten along great with all dogs and people I have met so far. I'm interested in cats but a little afraid of them too. I absolutely love to ride in cars, trucks and golf carts. I'm so good that you can forget I'm there. That has not happened! My last Vet visit went great. The Dr was happy w/ my progress & I am now ready to travel. Please consider me for your rescue. I can’t wait to find my fur-ever people. You will love me, my beautiful eyes, my big white paws and the pink spot-on top of my nose."

https://www.reddit.com/r/rva/comments/zei0j1/adoption_pitbull_found_crying_next_to_homeless/

This is Cheeto. He is a pitbull (possibly a mix with bulldog since he has an underbite) and he's around 3/4 years old. He recently lost his family. He was found lying next to his dead owner's body (at least we think he was his owner) on the side of the road. The person who found him tried their best to find a way to know more about his family but unsuccessfully. Animal control was called but because he's a pitbull and shelters are full he stayed with this person until they could find a foster family. He didn't have a microchip and +10 days passed after posting on every social media platform and looking for his family - so now comes the time to look for a forever home.

Adoption requirements:
Commitment to training classes/ training at home
Commitment to positive reinforcement
Providing him a safe space and home
Providing veterinary care when needed
Would be great not to be alone for long periods of time at first. He craves security and attention.
Having experience with dogs
Agreeing to a forever commitment. He cannot be rehomed again. He lost too many people.

If there's other dogs : no small breeds and will need to meet first (he's probably better with females but we don't know for sure). On his adoption day he will need to be microchipped.

Kalia is a bright eyed, very attentive Pit Bull and Bulldog mix. She loves to cuddle, play, and go for walks. She is very bright and eager to please. Having just turned two years old, she is still playful but mature and willing to learn. She is a bit insecure, so feels more comfortable as the only dog. Her coloration is beautiful, not too large or too small, and her doggy kisses are her specialty.

Location: Front Royal, VA

Atlas is a 6 year old, tripod pit who is looking for a calm environment where he is ideally the only animal in the house. He might be okay with another large female dog, but he does not do well with cats, small dogs, or other male dogs. He is super sweet, cuddly and relatively low energy. He loves to snug up on the couch and enjoy time with his humans! He loves to sunbathe outside and relax. He does have some reactivity and anxiety around strangers, so his new handlers should be willing to work with him on this (using necessary tools such as soft muzzles, slow introductions, and training). He is crate trained and house broken, and he knows basic commands. He is a total sweetie and needs a gentle, patient hand to help him build his confidence and give him the quality time and love he deserves!

Luna is a 2-year old pittie mix. She is a super sweet, wiggly, high energy girl with lots of love to give! She loves spending time outdoors, and would do very well in a home with someone who would take her on adventures or give her ample time exercising outside. She would do well with another large dog, but no small dogs or cats. While she's very sweet with kids, she is pretty strong and tends to knock smaller children over on accident, so she would do best in a home with bigger humans :) she is crate trained, housebroken, and knows basic commands, but would definitely love a training program to help with her energy and impulse control! Luna is a total lovebug, and she would love to find a home that will match her energy and help keep her busy!

This pretty red head is looking for her forever! She walks well on leash, was fine with the volunteers handling her, was super affectionate, very quiet in her kennel, loves treats, and did OK on her dog test. She would require a meet and greet and slow intro to other dogs. She just needs someone to take a chance on her. Could you be that someone?!

Say HELLO to Hershel! This handsome red boy is about 2-3 years old and judging by his boy condition appears to have lived a rough life prior to landing at the shelter. He loved being pet and had no issues with touching all over. Hershel walked well with another dog, and honestly was more interested in smelling his surroundings than the other dog and he but showed no reactivity. Hershel did pull on leash at first, but looked back to check in and whine a little when we stopped, wondering why the heck we were stopping when he was just warming up! Hershel would love to enjoy his days taking walks, napping, and being someone's best friend.

Bridgerton has been settling in well and he has a lots of energy! Based on what we've seen he would be great for someone who can spend a lot of time with him and take him on walks often. We've been taking him on 4-5 walks a day, including running.

Bridgerton can get overly excited, especially when he hasn't had exercise, so he needs some continued training to help him understand the best ways to communicate. We've been working on getting him to calm down and go into a 'sit' when he gets excited, and we've also been working on 'drop it', and he is learning quickly! He's such a smart boy and is eager to please!'

Noel is great in the house and her crate. Even though Noel was a wonderful mother and amazing with dogs, she is still learning how humans work. She has learned to trust her foster and will learn to trust whoever adopts her, but she will start out very shy. Noel is the opposite with dogs, and we think her dog language name is “party starter”. Every morning when she is let out of her crate, Noel is a tsunami of happiness and makes sure all the dogs and humans in the house play with her before we leave the bedroom. Noel is normally high energy but she is happy to take a day off and nap in the sun with the other dogs in the house. Noel is 2nd dog required and would love to share a home with another high energy dog but no cats please.

Ellie May needs love and play time and more play time! This young girl is full of energy and ready to go, go, go wherever you go! She loves playing with other dogs and will need plenty of opportunities for that. She can be fearful of new people, so an apartment or condo where there are a lot of interactions may not be her best situation.

What My Foster Says About Me: Ellie May is doing well at our house and learning a lot from my very calm, confident dogs. She loves daycare and loves to play with other dogs; 2-3 days a week of daycare, or the equivalent, calms her down a lot! To be her best self, she needs to go to a calm, structured home with someone who can continue to work on her training and confidence building, and who has another dog to help show her the ropes. We also think she'd do best in a home without children under 12.
