Hi, I’m Hildi! I was adopted as a puppy and I’ll turn 2 in July and am past my puppy phase. I'm a 42 lb female cutie but I tell people I’m 38! My family has to find me a new home because I'm picky about dog roommates and don’t do well with cats.

I am spayed, microchipped, up to date on all my shots, and very healthy. I like my crate, do my business outside, and I’m always up for a walk (or a run)! I know "sit" and "stay", Mom says I’m “great on the leash” whatever that means, but my favorite thing is to snuggle and snoozle on the couch with my people.

Speaking of, I ADORE children and grown-up humans and want to be your furever love. I'm perfect for someone that wants a young dog that’s trained and really well-behaved.

My family loves me very much and wants the best for me. They are sad but know this is for the best and I trust them.

Please Private Message (PM) my owners here if interested at moc.liamg@drofdelsaj or (804) 322-9544. I do have a rehoming fee of $150, and my family would like a reference or two. I will come with my vaccination records, my fancy bed, plushy toys, favorite nylabone(s), and my large crate so that I have something familiar to sleep peacefully in. I would love to do a meet/greet with you.

Meet Fern! Short for Ferdinand ♡ His original name is Melly.

If you didn't see his original photo, this boy came in as an owner surrender ( at no fault of his own) and had been feeling very down and out.

Fern has been treated for a skin infection and is currently on the mend! He has quickly made himself at home and is enjoying all the attention (and scratches) he can get.

Fern is a Beautiful American Bulldog mix that's estimated to be 5-6 years old and is around 70lbs. This stocky stallion is quite strong and would be best with an experienced owner, Children over 10 years old. Although he does know basic commands and adores all the attention he can get, he forgets his size.

Ferns likes include: Walks, play time outside, Stuffed animals, back scratches, yummy treats, soft blankets to roll in and of course.... more back scratches.

If you have other canines in the home, meet and greets are required with Fern. He seems to love the ladies the best!

Please see below for additional photos of Fern. If interested please call the shelter at 804-520-9397 to schedule an appointment.

Did you know... Sweet Potato is one of our longest running residents.

In late July, CHAS was asked to assist in removing sweet potato and 58 others from a property. Bound to a chain heavier than he, sweet Potato had no toys, no grass and little to no interaction with people and other dogs.

We are still hopeful that this boy can find a home where couch surfing, walks and cuddling are served daily.

At only 1.5 years of age, this young pitbull mix has a TON of love to give. He enjoys playtime outside on the soft grass with his people, snoozing on a warm blanket or going for walks.

Sweet potato deserves a second chance at life and we hope to find that for him! He would be best matched as an only dog or with a submissive female canine. He is also good with older children (especially those able to play fetch). He would prefer a home with no cats.

If you think you might be the perfect match for sweet potato, please call the shelter at 804-520-9397 to schedule an appointment to meet with him!

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!

Meet Goose! This happy handsome Hunk is back on the market and looking for some hearts to steal! Goose came to us from a cruelty investigation and despite all of that he has proven he would make an excellent cuddle buddy. Goose is actively working on his leash manners. He fully believes that it is a game of tug-o-war. We know with him he is a work and progress but we have found he is highly treat motivated and loves positive reinforcement.

Due to his size, we are looking for a dog experienced home- especially for those that are hard headed and want to try and rule the roost! Goose is also good with other dogs (he adores the ladies). However, meet and greets are required to ensure everyone gets along. Goose would do best in an active home that likes to be outside. You can often find him with us in the play yard chasing his toys and being 100% committed to a game of fetch!

Because of his background, we have found that Goose will pick and choose who he can trust. He is fully committed to his family and will need someone who is willing to put in the work to gain his trust . Once he does that, he will beg for attention! We are crossing our paws for this young pup and are committed in finding him the best match!

If interested please call the shelter at 804-520-9397 to schedule an appointment or email vog.avsthgiehlainoloc@akehcrevS.

Meet Jupiter! This out of this world beauty has the best ears and a fantastic personality!

Jupiter needs to be your one and only but she promises it will be worth it! Meet her today!

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.

Meet our fabulous dynamic Mother and Daughter Duo!!
*BONDED PAIR*

(Both are spayed, microchipped, up to date on rabies vaccination, are heartworm negative and have up to date DHPP)
Say Hello to Rory (2.5 years old) and Mom Lorelai (5 years old)! This sweet pair has had a rough first part of their lives. They were kept for simply monetary purposes as breeding them and selling puppies were their main purpose. With that being said, they have had very limited interaction with other dogs and were minimally socialized outside of their surroundings. After the owner became sick, Rory and Lorelai were moved outside to a pen area.

To put it simply, we are moving forward to bigger and better things for these sweethearts.
With that being said, they are a bonded pair that we have no plans to separate. They have been with eachother through the thick of it and we are hopeful that we can keep them together to learn about all the finer things in life. Both are gigantic smiling love bugs that enjoy your company, going for walks and spending time with you outside. They do need to be the only pair in the home (also no cats). They love to play with toys, zoom around the yard and then hunker down for a nap in your lap.

Let's put those paws together for Lorelai and Rory and share to find them their forever home!

If interested please call the shelter at 804-520-9397 to schedule an appointment or email vog.avsthgiehlainoloc@akehcrevS.

Ya'll this guy has the most beautiful eyes..they look into your soul! Reminds me of that oh so famous song by Survivor..you know the one! Tiger was indifferent to dogs, during his dog test and was pretty good on leash. He was a little bit of a land shark when taking treats was which is why older children are recommended. Come and meet him today! #brindleisbeautiful#eyeofthetiger

Poor Scout! He is such a good dog. He has been at the shelter for far too long and if you know anything about working breeds, this is not good for him physically or mentally. He was wonderful with us. He was super excited to get out causing a little wrestling match to get a walking collar on him but he took it all in stride and was ready to roll! He walked fairly well on leash and was so happy to get out and stretch his legs. We Scout into the play yard so he could run and chase some toys we threw to him. Staff had asked us to spend a little extra time with him to see how he did as he has become a little barky with some new people. As mentioned, Scout did very well with us. Due to his breed he needs both mental and physical stimulation, he is very smart and needs the opportunity to use those positive traits that have been bred into his makeup. Scout would love an active person(s) that will take him on adventures and challenge his mind. Let's get this beautiful boy out of here!!

Bringing in all the Smiles is our boy RUGER!!
Age: 4 years (estimated)
Male- Neutered/ Pitbull Mix

This darling pup is officially available for adoption! He came into the shelter as a stray and never claimed. Fast forward to now and this beauty is searching for a FOREVER home!

If all his smiles didn't give it away, this boy is happy going everywhere with you and doing just about anything. We have found that his likes include: walks, water adventures, other dogs, treats, his rope toy and being with his humans! He also seems indifferent with cats. Meet and greets are required with other dogs and all those in the family.

Ruger is an active dog that also has a cuddling side. He enjoys his adventures but also likes to hunker down and take a long snooze! He would make an excellent walking partner or certified couch potato!

​When meeting Ruger, he has a routine where he needs to do all the sniffing in the yard before he will interact with potential adopters. Don't be discouraged when meeting this boy. He opens up quickly and will be doing zoomies before you know it!

If interested please call the shelter at 804-520-9397 to schedule an appointment or email vog.avsthgiehlainoloc@akehcrevS.

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 interested please call the shelter at 804-520-9397 to schedule an appointment or email vog.avsthgiehlainoloc@akehcrevS.

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!

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?"

UPDATE: As we spend time with her here at the pound, we learn more that we want to share. What we have found out about Dannika, is that she is even more sweet and funny and talented than we realized. Last week she has started bringing big sticks back with her when she goes on her walks with the volunteers. So, are you looking for someone to help clean up your yard? or help bring in the firewood?

Dannika is believed to be a boxer mix, given her sweet little underbite and her silly happy nature. She walks well on leash, waits patiently for her turn, takes treats and tells you all about her day and what she thinks. She is not a barker, but she does rumble and wiggle waiting for you to put on her leash. She is a volunteer favorite and sometimes we compete for who gets to walk her. She came in as a stray but clearly someone loved her once. She appears to be housebroken and is very well behaved. She loves everyone and everything. We don't know what happened to her ears, but what we do know is she will light up your life like nothing else. She would make a wonderful family dog, or your very best friend. She is medium energy, so would be happy playing fetch (obviously) or going on walks. She would also happily lie next to you on the couch or her very own fluffy bed.

Dannika appears to be mostly deaf, however she takes cues easily and does hear loud noises. She is being taught sign language at the pound. If this is the gal for you, animal control can help you learn what she has already learned. She is a one in a million dog. Although she is at the Animal Control pound, her adoption is administered by the local humane society. BROOKE is your contact at 804-693-5520 or gro.yteicosenamuhmg@tnemecalplamina

Come meet Danikka and get to know this wiggly funny girl.

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.

Marty came to the pound along with several other dogs, including three siblings. They have been here a while now and are ready for the next stage of their lives, to have their very own home and family. Marty is about six months old, very sweet, a bit shy but is ready to learn what it means to be a real companion dog. He and his siblings have never had a real home but they have adjusted to us here at the pound. They love other dogs and are very sweet to the people who care for them. Ideally, Marty would do well in a home with an older confident dog to show him the ropes. He is so lovable, takes treats gently, and is getting used to both the leash and doing his biz outside. He is looking for someone who can give him the time and patience he needs to be his best and become your best friend. He will be a devoted dog given the time and help he needs.

Please come meet this little sweetheart. His sad sweet face will steal your heart!

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.

Get ready for some springtime fun! Meet Bella! Bella means beautiful, and this girl fits her name perfectly. Bella came in as a stray, and oddly, no one came looking for her. So now she finds herself looking for a new forever home. Bella is approximately three years old, just the right age for almost anything...she seems to be healthy, is HW-, housebroken, walks nicely on leash, ready to play with puppy like enthusiasm and energy. She is smart and anxious to please. She would love a home where she gets lots of interaction and activity, from good challenging games, to long walks or jogs around the block or through the woods or park. She will happily do as you ask and wouldn't mind cuddling on the couch with you either.

Her markings make it look like she is winking at you, as if to say....hey, lets go!!!

If you think she might be the one for you, she would love to meet you today!

While she is currently at the pound, adoptions are administered through the local humane society. To set up a meet and greet, please call Brooke at 804-693-5520 or email at gro.yteicosenamuhmg@tnemecalplamina

Thank you for helping a homeless dog.

Yoo Hoo!! Meet little Mindy....This sweet little nugget came in with her three siblings at a young age. They have been living life here at the shelter, getting used to their new life. Now Mindy is ready for the big time, her very own home. She is the most outgoing of the siblings, and loves everyone, both pups and people. She is the first one to grab the treats but takes them gently. She loves playing with her brothers, and also with other dogs at the pound. She has a wonderful play group with all different sizes, and then she plops down for a rest. She is very smart, and wants to please. While she is still not totally housebroken or leash trained, she is hoping you will overlook that and take on the job. After all, she is only about six months old. She is ready to be in a real home, something she has never had. She would love to have a doggie brother or sister to teach her all the good stuff she needs to know in order to be a big girl!

Thanks for helping this little one find a home!

Knox, 41.6% American Pit Bull Terrier/37.9% American Bully/20.5% American Staffordshire Terrier, 5 y.o., neutered, has been treated for heartworms.

Knox entered the shelter after appearing in someone’s yard and refusing to leave. The person brought Knox to the shelter as a stray.

Loves people and is loved by all the shelter staff and volunteers.

Other dogs: Knox would be ok with another polite dog with good manners and of equal size to Knox. Will play with other polite dogs. No aggressive, alpha, dominant dogs. Doesn’t like to be jumped on or have ears or tail pulled by other dogs. No little dogs or other small animals.

Needs an experienced owner with dog training who wants to continue to work with him. Is good walking on leash. Very affectionate, gives kisses, knows “sit” and “give paw”.

Needs a yard that has a tall fence to keep him safely at home.
Quick learner, eager to work and learn.
Medium energy. Needs to run and play and would love to play with owner. Still gets the zoomies.
​
Since being at the shelter, I have enjoyed going to the beach, numerous car rides, and gone to a dog park.

Contact Diane today to meet Knox at (703) 505-0533 or moc.liamg@retsbew0201.

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.

Hi! I’m Queen , and just like my name implies I am royalty! Unfortunately my reign in my previous kingdom ended when the pheasants plotted to end my life. Thankfully my knights in shining armor (the staff at Locke Taylor) rescued me in the nic of time and I’ve been hanging out with them ever since. A nice lady from KB’s K9 fitness has been coming to acclimate me to my new temporary kingdom and she’s discovered a few things about me...

1. I love treats (what Queen doesn’t?) and am very eager to please!
2. Despite my age (a lady never tells her age but I am a senior) I love to walk, but I live to run! I absolutely love it and it helps me keep my figure in check after all those treats!
3. Despite being royalty I’m very sweet. I haven’t let it get to my head. I LOVE people, but because I am the Queen I would do best as an only pet. But don’t worry...I have more than enough love to make up for being your one and only!

In closing my ideal home would be where I could thrive as a walking/running buddy and eternal companion. I am healthy, happy, and ready to reign on my new throne which includes 5 free walks from KB if you’re in her service area! If you’re interested in meeting me contact Locke Taylor and Associates at 804-308-1384 and ask for Andrea or Tiffany!

Jolene suits her name. She is a sweet and sassy gal, who takes a bit to warm up to you, but once she does, she is yours forever. She enjoys playing outside and would love to go for walks and for a bit of fun in a fenced in backyard. She absolutely loves riding in the car and loves dressing up in her cute winter coat. She walks well, takes treats gently and shows her appreciation for any kindness she is offered. She would do well as an only child or with other similar sized dogs. She could be tested with cats.

She keeps her run clean and walks well on a leash. She is happy and healthy and ready for her new and improved home. Could it be yours? She would love to be your new bestest friend.

Even tho she is at the pound, adoptions are administered by Gloucester Mathews Humane Society.

To arrange a meet and greet, please contact Brooke at animalplacement@gmhumanesociety.org or by calling Brooke at 804-693-5520 Thank you for helping this homeless dog.

She is a very loving and snuggly dog who wants to be the center of your world. She does amazing in her crate, that’s where she is at night and while we are at work and she is housebroken. With all this being said, she is also very nervous and fearful around men and some strangers. It took her a couple of days to get comfortable with my fiancé and now they are inseparable . She will take a lot of love and patience and proper introductions to new humans. She has loved all the women she’s met, its just the men that takes her a bit to warm up to. She has not been around kids so it might be best to have her around kids who are 13 or older, she can sometimes be a bull in a china shop when it comes to excitement. When she gets very excited she does have a habit of jumping that we have been working on as well. She should also be the only pet as she is also very jealous and reactive around other dogs and has a prey drive, so no cats or small animals. She resides now with an older and very docile dog friend and I believe that down the road, she may do well at home with a very calm and docile dog friend if they have a proper introduction. Once she has your trust, she is just a pure love bug and is very easy going. She loves her toys and she will go from running around playing to snuggling in an instant. She will let you trim her nails with ease, give her a bath , pick her up, etc. For the time we’ve had her, she has no signs of resource guarding or any of that behavior.

Buster is one of a kind. This big hunk is as friendly, bubbly, and funny as they come! He is deaf which just makes him even cuter! He's 6 years old and 60lbs. Buster loves his food but especially loves getting special treats! He's also great with other animals and kids.

Luc is a playful boy who knows how to sit, shake, laydown, and roll over. He is easily leashed, and leash walked. He also responds great to correction! Luc has officially been with us for over a year (374 days to be exact) and still hasn’t found his forever home! Like most dogs Luc is dog selective. Adopting him would significantly impact our shelter and would bring several staff members to tears of joy. Please be the change he needs right now. Luc has been described by our shelter behaviorist as, “an all-around great dog”. However, this phenomenal boy is starting to believe that he is not going to make it out of the shelter. We want to make sure that is not the case. That is why we need your help! Luc has been here far too long and deserves a loving home to call his own. Please come meet him he'd love to see you!

Brad is a super sweet boy, we are guessing he is about 1-2 years old. He is great with people and loves playing with dogs. We have been working on his obedience and he knows all his commands and walks well on a leash. He has been boarding with us through another rescue group called Pet Rescue Alliance.
