This pretty princess is too cute for words, and just like an princess she prefers to be your one and only! She loved getting out with our volunteers and smelling the flowers..they are one of her favorite things. She even preferred the flowers to treats because a princess has to watch her figure! We promise that this little lady has enough love to give you won't need another dog! Come meet her today!

This handsome boy is full of life! He is a strong guy that had no issues being handled by the volunteers. He did well with the female dog he met. We think this boy would make a great addition to a home that will commit to burning off his energy and then snuggling on the couch!

Meet Mocha Mint! This handsome boy has a zest for life and would love to have a forever home! He is a strong boy that needs a little work on his leash skills, but despite coming in hot for his dog greeting he did really well! He was easily handled by the volunteers as well. All he needs is someone to give him a chance, a little exercise and training, and some love and he promises to return in ten fold!

Meet Penny named for her beautiful color! This sweet girl would love a home with someone to teach her how to dog! She did well with the other dog she met but we obviously recommend a slow intro with other dogs, and because she needs some basic training (like how to redirect her energy when she gets excited) so needs a home with children over 12. She loved getting out with the volunteers and having the sunshine on her beautiful face! Adopt your lucky Penny today!

Blue boy is the total package! He was super affectionate with the volunteers, loved being petted over taking treats! He did really well with his dog test, was pretty good on leash despite the fact that he has probably never had any leash training. He would be happy laying on your couch and just needs a chance to prove what a gem he is!

You guys this girl has come a long way during her stay at the shelter. She came in so fearful but now all she wants is love and affection. She can still be a little shy but she overcomes it quickly. She did great with the dog she met, had lower energy, and walked nicely on leash. She would be a great fit for a home looking for a cuddle bug!

This sweet lady is amazing! Just look at her smile! She was playful with the volunteers, talks when she wants you to interact with her, was affectionate, and loved the attention she received! She did will with her dog test but a meet and greet and slow introduction would be required. We think she'd easily fit into a home with children. Who wouldn't want a little spice in their life?

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?!

Look at that smile! This hunk is super affectionate and was more interested in being outside than taking treats! He is very quiet in his kennel, and needs a little work on his leash skills but that is something easily worked on. He has not been tested with dogs yet, but we can make that happen if you're interested in meeting him!

Thelma and Louise are not a bonded pair unless of course you want two dogs! We think they may be mom and daughter. They walked well on leash, tried to play with one another, and enjoyed their time outside of the shelter. These girls are sweet and deserve a home to call their own. Could it be yours?

He did well with the other dog he met and walked well on a leash. This hunk is just looking for a cool place to spend his days whether that's going hiking, or sitting on the couch...he's up for it!

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.

Meet our boy Tickers!
Tickers came to us as a stray that no one claimed. He is now looking for a family to call his own. Tickers loves people, toys, and most other dogs. He isn’t a fan of cats because he thinks they are too needy. We do not have any known medical on him due to him being picked up as a stray.

Meet Hambone! Hambone was picked up as a stray and no one came to claim him. Hambone is estimated to be about 1.5 years old. He seems to enjoy meeting the other dogs here at the shelter. He is always excited to see everyone and will even smile at people when he is excited. Hambone has been clean about his kennel and knows basic commands. He loves to play with toys, but is still learning the concept of fetching.

Who wants a water dog?! Meet Bo...blue and sweet like a bo berrry biscuit!! We think he’s about 2 years old and 50 pounds (most of that weight is in his ears). He walsk well on leash, loves to be sprayed with the water hose on hot days like today, and if someone would just give him a chance outside of the shelter environment he'd be a great dog.

Say Hello to Sweet Potato!

Would you know he is our longest running resident? In late July, Colonial Heights Animal Services provided mutual aid to another jurisdiction.

Sweet Potato was found on a chain heavier than he was. He had no toys, no freedom, no grass and little to no interaction with people or other dogs.

Sweet Potato is neutered male pitbull mix that is 2 years young and is dreaming of his happily ever after. We are still hopeful that this boy can find a home where couch surfing, walks and cuddling are served daily.

You can often find Sweet Potato spending his time in the yard throwing his toys in the air, chasing after tennis balls and basking in the sunshine.

This handsome boy is looking for an active family that has a ton of love to give. He would do best as an only dog and with children over 12 years of age. It has taken time for us to erase some of the damage from his past. He is doing very well but will need someone who is willing to continue his healing journey!!

If you think you may be a match for Sweet Potato, Please call the shelter at 804-520-9397 to schedule an appointment.

That's So RAVEN!!!

Say hello to this gorgeous girl!! She came to us as an owner surrender due to her jumping. We are actively working on that and is very treat motivated!

Rave is a beautiful young girl that is looking for an active family she can hang with!! At only 8 months young, this girl is eager to please, absolutely loves her people and is picking up quickly on commands! She already knows the basics and is SUPER SMART! She absolutely loves toys!

Raven would do best in a home with older children (she is currently working on not jumping). She would also benefit by having an experienced owner that is interested in training! Raven would make an excellent companion and we are hoping she finds her match!

Say Hello to ShyLoh!
(Available for Adoption or Rescue)

This smiling young girl is finally ready to find her furever home. She came to us at no fault of her own as the family was unaware of how large she would get. Unfortunately, their place of living had a 20lb weight limit and couldn't stay.

Shyloh is a 10 months old Pit-Mix that came in very unsure of staff and quite timid when meeting new people. She has since opened up and you can often find her zooming around the play yard and flashing her gorgeous smile!

She absolutely adores her toys but her favorite outdoor activity is playing chase. She will go into full zoomie mode and beg you to try and catch her!

At only 10 months old, she is looking for an understanding owner who is willing to take the time to get to know her and work on her confidence. She is actively working on her leash training but does know basic commands and works really well for treats!

Shyloh does do well with other dogs but is particular about those that she meets. Meet and greets are required if other dog(s) live in the home. She is not interested in living with cats. She has had no issues with children but some overwhelm her more than others.

If you think you may be a match for Shyloh, please call us at 804-520-9397 to schedule a meet and greet. If you aren't interested in adopting, please remember networking saves lives so, share, share, share!
Reminder:
You do not need to be a Colonial Heights Resident to adopt.

Shyloh is labeled as a Pit Mix- for anyone renting or leasing, we encourage you to check for any breed or weight restrictions!

Adopting an animal is a lifelong commitment. Please educate and plan accordingly ❤

Lolita is looking for anew best friend. Could that be you? She has been waiting patiently for months and months. She has made good use of her time tho, as she has learned lots of good behaviors, and has completed her Heart worm treatment with glowing results! She is now looking for a job as a lap dog in training. A fenced in yard and lots of playtime would be great too. Lolita takes a minute to warm up to strangers, but once she sees you are her friend, she is all yours. Look at that pretty smile! Also, being in a shelter environment for so long has made her dog selective. but she is up to the task of taking all the love and attention you can give, so she would be happy to be an only child. Lolita would do well with someone experienced with this breed since she has been at the shelter for so long. She is believed to be about a year old, so she has spent most of her life in this shelter. The staff here thinks she is the best and wants the best for her. She is also available to appropriate rescue groups.

Meet silly, happy beautiful Frances. Frances came in very scared and showing signs of a rough life. Once she understood no one here would hurt her, she perked right up and tried to be everyone's best friend. She is smart, and healthy but still is a pup at just a year old. A small shelter like this isn't the right place for a happy go lucky girl like Frances. She has been here too long and is getting bored. She would make a wonderful family companion for an active family who will take an interest in teaching her and playing with her. She deserves nothing less, but sadly she has spent most of her life here. A big fenced in yard and her very own humans is her dream! She would also be available to an appropriate rescue who would continue her training. Please come meet her! she is one in a million!

Gunner has been at this shelter for a long time. He showed up at someone's home and no one came looking for him. He was well behaved there and got along with the homeowners dogs. He is a very sweet and lovable dog. He seems to get along with others and would do well with a loving family. He has the handsome boxer looks and the typical boxer smile.

Please give him a chance at a new and improved life. He has what it takes to get the job done and to be your new best friend.

This is sweet Cane, a handsome and loving boy who finds himself homeless through no fault of his own. He is five years old, with just enough puppy to make your days with him fun. He is a beauty and has been well cared for in his previous home. He walks well on a leash and is housebroken, tho he may need some brush up since his time at the pound. He seems to get along with everyone so might enjoy a friend...also would enjoy being the center of your love and attention. Just a great dog looking for a great home.

Please come meet him soon as he would love to spend your summer vacation getting to know you and for you to know him. He will make a great best friend.

Cane says:
I am sitting here and waiting for you with my sweetest big boy smile on my face!

Hi there, My name is Boss but I want you to know I am not the least bit "bossy". I don't mean to brag but I am as sweet and kind as I am handsome. What more could you want in a forever friend? I find myself homeless through no fault of my own but am anxious to do what it takes to find myself my new family and my furever home. Could that be you? I would love someone who will play with me, and enjoy my cute and loving nature. Maybe a fenced in yard and a nice walk or two around the block? I like everyone, including other dogs and will give sweet kisses if you let me.

Please CONTACT Jacky at the Gloucester County Animal control pound to meet me.

Westley is a energetic young 10 month old puppy who needs someone with time, to help him continue his training. He does walk on a leash, he is good with kids, and knows how to sit. He is food aggressive with other dogs so he will need to be fed separately from any other animals in the home, but he does get along well with other dogs. He has had his first round of vaccinations. If you are interested in meeting Westley give us a call or email. Thanks so much!

Jango is on the lookout for a new family. He is a BIG boy with an equally big personality. Jango finds himself homeless through no fault of his own after his person could no longer care for him. At five years old, and 87 pounds, he is all Rottie boy and has that over the top personality that Rottweilers are known for. Jango is smart, full of energy, playful, loves to fetch his tennis balls, and craves the guidance of someone who is experienced with the breed. After the changes in his life, he needs some time to adjust, but once her gets to know you, he is your devoted friend and confidant....especially if you throw tennis balls and toys. He is a big puppy at heart, and even though he is strong, he does accept correction easily. He appears to be both housetrained and leash trained.

Do you have what it takes to give Jango his new lease on life? He is one handsome guy, looking to make it a lifetime commitment.

Could that be you???

To set up a meet and greet with this fine fella, please contact Jacky Wilson Coffey at the Gloucester Virginia Animal Control Pound.

Hey folks, Zane here –I ended up at the shelter because my owner became ill and could no longer care for me. I’m house trained, crate trained, and I don’t pull on the leash. My sweet nature has earned me extra points with the shelter staff. I keep everyone laughing because I’m so goofy. I also don’t mind if you want to dress me up. Check out the picture of me with the deer antlers! I am loyal and fun. I was recently fostered for a week, and I did great! I’m a bit of a couch potato. My perfect home would be with a single person or couple without small children. I need someone who will have patience and show me the way. I’ve been here at the shelter since October 2021, and this place is starting to really bother me. I’m just not doing well in here. Please – I’m waiting! Won’t you give me a chance? Also, no cats; and I’m somewhat dog selective.

Say 'hello' to our friend, Patrick! We found him as a stray who was skin and bone! Patrick received all medical attention needed to make him feel better. We don't know a lot about his history, however we have learned a lot about his personality since he's been here with us.

We believe Patrick is around 5-6 years old even though he acts like a puppy most days. He enjoys running around and playing with out volunteers. Patrick would do best in a home with NO SMALL CHILDREN. He would greatly benefit from a strong leader to show him the do's and don'ts.

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!'

"Well hello there -- my name is Willow! I'm so excited your here and hope we can be best friends". According to the Lucky Dog staff, I'm "such a big lump of love". I don't know what that means but I do know that I love nothing more than getting pets and love from all humans I meet! I have the biggest smile afterwards - so much so that my tongue flies out to the side - it always makes my human chuckle and I just love making them happy. You can kind of see it on my pictures but it's best in live action when you meet me!

Don't worry, I love my fellow doggo friends too! I've been to daycare daily and dog parks twice daily and always had an amazing time! I love to run around, meet new friends, sniff all the smells, and of course get scratches from all the humans. I hope that my next home lets me go to daycare or dog parks every day, but I promise I'll sleep really well when I come home so they can have a cuddle buddy as a thank you!!

I've been told I'd make a great 'adventure partner' too, but I haven't been on too many of those yet. I do love the car but sometimes I get a bit excited so I need to be strapped in, but then I sit like the humans in my seat! Maybe that's how we go on adventures?

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.

Momma Mambo is the sweetest little guest. She is super ready to get out an explore the world. She is always excited to see other dogs and people and really loves walks, trips to the dog park, and seeing new places. At home, she flips a switch and turns into a lazy pup. While she enjoys playing with toys, her true love is laying on the couch and cuddling with her people.

Cinnamon Roll is a 1 year old male Bulldog that came to Norfolk Animal Care as a stray. He is extremely social and sweet with people. During his time here he has not had the chance to meet other dogs face to face, so we are unsure how well he would interact with them. However, there have been no signs of food or resource guarding. He is very active and can get a bit chompy while playing with toys. He is currently being treated for a mild case of kennel cough.

We fell head over heels for this tiny little girl. She has obviously been a momma, which was difficult to see because she looks like a baby herself. Tina was a little shy but sought out human attention and interaction, as long as we were slow, she came right up to us and followed us around. She allowed us to touch her all over without difficulty. She is more attention motivated than food motivated. She will be easy peasy to train once she knows she is safe. Tina was absolutely perfect on a leash, which may be in part to her shyness, but she was not scared and will clearly warm up quickly as she just wanted to be near us. Dog interactions were about the same, she was interested and friendly but not completely comfortable which most likely had nothing to do with the other dog and more to do with her current situation and environment.

Tongue out Tuesday Meet Ramsey! This handsome boy was picked up as a stray and no one came to claim him. He is currently looking for a new home. We do not know any medical history on him. We are still working on dog testing him and checking to see if he will get along with cats.

This big brute is Harley! He is believed to be an 8 year old Pitbull/Mastiff mix. He spent his entire life with just one owner and when he was surrendered to the shelter, he was crushed. As a result, Harley has developed separation anxiety. Harley is very distressed unless someone is present with him at all times. He can often be found in tow of his favorite human. It’s important that Harley gets a home as quickly as possible.

Harley is the biggest love bug you’ve ever seen, quite literally! This brute weighs almost 90lbs, but he's super sweet and loving! As long as he’s in your presence, he’s quiet and content. He loves to put his paws in your lap and just let you snuggle him. Harley would greatly benefit from somebody who's retired or works from home where he can spend the day in your company.

It’s important, for Harley’s sake, that he finds his one and only who will love him and house him until the end of his days. Contact Jami Cooper at (540) 778-2101 or vog.ainigriv.ytnuocegap@redniftep today for more details!

Came into the shelter as a fearful stray. Has really opened up and is now a playful goofy boy with our staff. Still can be fearful/reactive toward some strangers. Estimated age around 1 year. Reactive toward other dogs in the kennels, but could be kennel stress. Needs rescue or savvy adopter.

Brian is one of the newest residents at the shelter and is absolutely terrified. He was trying so hard to be brave, knowing that pushing past the fear of the new and unknown situation equates to smiles and kind words which he obviously craved. He quickly became one of our favorites of the day. Once we kneeled down next to him and allowed him to come to us he warmed up quickly and became more relaxed with every moment. Brian allowed us to touch his ears, paws, tail and body and took treats so gently. At the moment he is unsure about other dogs so we will introduce him again this week. Brain is going to be a loyal best friend to the patient, soft spoken person that gives him a little time to build his confidence and trust. By the end of our short visit Brian had tail wags and soft kisses to pass around!

Gnarley was surrendered to the shelter and is a fun loving happy boy. He is a resource guarder (toys/bones) so he should be in a home with older or no children. He is approximately 2 years old

What a happy, wiggly girl! Ruby was raring to go when we removed her from her run. We took her for a short walk and then hung out in the play yard for a bit. Ruby was much more interested in hanging out with the people around her then running around. She was content to climb into our lap and give kisses. Ruby did great with handling and let us touch her all over. She seems to prefer to have all eyes on her rather than to share attention with another dog. Ruby needs training to help with basic manners and leash skills but she is a smart cookie. With an active home to help get some of that young dog energy out, she will have those basic life skills mastered in no time!

Mitch, the man! Mitch came to the pound with several other dogs. He has been studying hard while he has been here, and is now ready for the next step..a home of his own. He still needs help with some of the basics but he has made great progress. He looks at you so intently, you have to wonder what he is thinking. He notices and studies everything. When he first came, he didn't know how to walk on the leash but now he does just fine...until he realizes you want him to go back inside. He wants to be where the action is! Once he learns that inside is fun, he will follow you right through the door. He is looking for a family that understands the breed, and has the patience to take time and be consistent so he learns what it means to be your very best friend. In no time, he will be your devoted friend.

To meet Mitch, please contact Jacky Wilson at 804-693-5290 or email at ofni.avretsecuolg@nosliwj

Thanks so much for helping a homeless pup.

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?"

Please meet Maddie. This sweet girl has had a rough start in life but has been with us at the pound for a while now. She has been behavior tested and is ready for her own forever home. She is doing better at walking on a leash but is especially interested in cuddling and treats! She is a calm and quiet girl and needs a patient someone who is experienced with this breed to help her be the wonderful and confident dog she can be. She is a little beauty and her sweet face....especially when she sticks her tongue out at you...will win your heart. Please come visit her and help her start her new and improved life.

Prepare to fall in love with sweet puppy, Miles. This boy came into the pound with his three siblings following a very rough start in life. He tends to be a bit shy at first due to little proper socialization in his previous situation. He has never had a real home so everything was new and different. Miles is gaining confidence and is always first in line for treats or pets. He has been learning about walking on a leash and about doing his biz outside. Not quite there yet but has improved and is clearly smart, and wants to please. He loves to play games with the volunteers and with his siblings. He has also had playtime with other dogs, and would benefit from a big sister or brother, to show him the ropes of what it takes to be a house companion and to give him confidence. Miles would benefit from someone who understands the breed, what it is to be a puppy with so much new and different, and who is patient and has the time and willingness to help him, he will be a first rate friend. As I said, an older dog who is patient would also be a big help for him. He is used to being around other dogs and would love a cuddle buddy and playmate, and mentor.

If your home is the one for him, please come meet him. He would love the attention and would love to be a part of a real home and be someone's little brother.

Macho Macho Mannnnnn. Who wants to meet the Macho man!!!!!

This handsome red and white boy is Macho Man! He is sweet and handsome and full of silliness and lots of love! Sound like someone who might rock your world?

Macho came in as a stray but obviously had a good home once. He is in great condition, with a beautiful shiny coat. He loves everyone he has met, both two legged and four legged. He can be tested with cats. He gets so excited when you come to his run, he gets so silly, giving kisses and wiggling all over. We feel he is housebroken as he is so anxious to go outside and do his biz, but calms down and really isn't difficult to walk. He is a great candidate for your next best friend. We believe he is a move in ready dog.

Even though Macho is currently at the pound, the adoption is administered by the local humane society. To make contact for a meet and greet or to apply to adopt Macho, please CONTACT BROOKE at gro.yteicosenamuhmg@tnemecalplamina or call Brooke at 804-693-5520.

Thank you for helping this fine and handsome but homeless boy.
