Meet sweet Claire! We dare you not to go "awww" when you look at this precious soul. Claire came in as a surrender through no fault of her own. She is such a sweetheart, just a big mushy lovebug. She is a diamond in the rough. When she first came in, she had never seen a leash or a gated run. Though she was scared and frustrated, she never showed aggression and has now improved greatly. She responds to the kind and calm help of the staff and volunteers and is doing great. She does need someone who is experienced with the breed, only because she is so big and strong. Same with the suggestion of limiting children to older children. She just wants to be loved and cared for. She will make a fantastic and devoted companion. She is smart and eager to please. Claire has a soft and loving way of taking treats and giving kisses. Her sad eyes will just make you want to hug her over and over. Please grant her holiday wishes and take her into your family. She will reward you with endless cuddles and devotion.

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?"

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.

Look at this handsome Meatball! Meatball was picked up as a stray and no one came to claim him. He is now looking for a place to call home. He absolutely loves people and seems to get along with most dogs (we require meet and greets). He’s not a fan of cats because they have to much hair. If you are interested in meeting this meatball give us a call or come see us.

This handsome man is affectionately called CJ! We estimated CJ to be 3-5 years old and this man has not had an easy life. Despite his past he remains happy. So happy in fact he has developed a case of "Happy Tail" at the shelter because he is always wagging! CJ is easy to walk and easy to love. His wish list is simple- a soft bed, some pets, and maybe a spa day! He is super chill on walks and is content to be close by your side. This handsome guy deserves the good life with warm, cozy blankets, good food in his belly, and a lap to call his own! We do think he may be best in a home as an only dog, but if you have another dog we can certainly set up a meet and greet to see if we have a match! Come and meet this guy today!

In the words of Michael Jackson this PYT is Blue Bell! We estimate her to be around 1-2 years old, and 50 pounds. She is super sweet, loves her weekly volunteer walks, and doesn't seem to mind baths! We do think Blue Bell would be best as an only dog, but would be fine in a home with children. She is polite and eager to please, and beautiful to boot! Come and meet her today!

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!

Trinity and her sister Storm found themselves at the shelter after their owner decided he worked too much and surrendered them. They are senior ladies, but don't let that fool you. They are spunky and sassy and still have a lot left to give. They are boned and we'd love to keep them together if possible, but it's not required. They love each other but we aren't sure how the feel about other dogs. We will update their descriptions once we know more so stay tuned, but in the meantime come and meet this golden girls today!

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.

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.

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?

I've seen so many of my doggo friends get adopted, and I just want to find my forever home too! Is it you???? I hope it is!! If so, reach out to the Lucky Dog team - they can tell you even more about me or set up a way for us to meet - how fun would that be!

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.

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.
