UPDATE:

Sweet Chico has been at the pound here in Gloucester, VA for over 100 days. Chico is anxious to have a new and furever home and we are anxious for him to have one as well. It is a most deserving boy and has worked hard to be the dog everyone loves.

Chico has finished his heart worm treatment and did an amazing job. While he was being treated he stayed at a foster home and won the devotion of his foster family. While they cannot adopt him, they are continuing to work to help him find his best home forever. . He is happy, healthy, and ready to be your best friend. Chico is a great dog, smart and loving. Just a big couch potato is training.

Since he is big and strong, he does need a hooman who is also strong and wants to spend time teaching him lots of new tricks. He would love long walks or play sessions in a big fenced in yard. He loves his toys, and is a silly boy.

Please come meet this handsome fella. He is ready for a home of his own, and deserves nothing less.

Contact is Jacky at the Animal Control pound. ofni.avretsecuolg@nosliwj

Chico can't wait to meet you!

Hi there, my name is Lucci, as in Loooo-keee

I find myself looking for a new home, through no fault of my own. I used to live with another boy and we were best friends. I would love to find a new and forever home , perhaps with another dog to be my friend. The nice people here at the pound say I am a sweetheart. It's embarrassing but ....it's true. I am. And, I am handsome too. I am happy with just being with people who I can lean against and get lots of loving, so if you don't have another dog, that's okay too. More loving for me! For a big boy, I am pretty Low Key...

I am about 4 years old, a big guy at 76 pounds, but I am housebroken, walk nicely on a leash and know my manners, which is very important given my size. I can do a few tricks like offering my paw and I take treats gently when they are offered.

Please come meet me here in Gloucester County, VA. I will do my best to show you what a wonderful family member I will be.

Please contact Brooke, at gro.yteicosenamuhmg@tnemecalplamina for a meet and greet.

I will be on the lookout for you! I can't wait to meet you!

She a 3-4 year old pitbull mix that weighs 45-50 lbs, and spayed. She is a very sweet dog that would do well in a single person or couple home with no kids. She is a leash reactive dog but has been getting better with this reaction when on a slip-on leash and muzzle. She has anxiety but she is very loving to those that take care of her.

Introducing Apollo!

Apollo was originally picked up as a stray running loose. His owner contacted us to let us know that she wasn’t able to properly care for him anymore and wanted to do the right thing. So she came on down and signed him over so we can find him another family that would love him as much as she loved him.

So what we know is he is 8 years old and full of life! He enjoys being outside and loves to stand in the water.

He is very clean about his kennel and appears to like other dogs (meet and greets required).

Hi, I’m Saint⚜️. I’m a 17 month old, neutered male, pittie mix. I’m all 68 lbs of goofiness and love

I’m great at listening, I know several commands. I even know how to walk myself. I love walks with friends and going to the river. Chew toys are the best, and I’ll be your coffee drinking buddy, any day, all day, all week, month forever!

I was first rescued at 6 months old, tied up in front of a house. I was scared and I didn’t like being alone to fend for myself. I was rescued again at 11 months old by some nice ladies. I was loved but my environment was all wrong. I was scared and stressed out. I’ve been living with my foster Mama for 7 months. I also live with two dogs and and two cats. Mama says I’m ready to find my forever home. I really like my own toys and my food is my food when it comes to my four legged friends. Not a problem, Mama feeds us in separate rooms and we don’t play with toys together.

I’ve spent time with two really great trainer friends that have given me the skills to do this life thing. They both say what a good boy I am.
I need a home with No Children, they scare me. I thrive best in a calm home with an owner that values training. Continued training is a MUST. I have been failed too many times for things could have been managed if someone had taken the time understand my needs. My little circle of people that love and advocate for me are requiring this. I am young, so I would love an active home but I am very capable of chilling out while you read or watch t.v. as long as I am as close as possible to you. My Mama says an owner with pitty experience who understands my breed would be my best match.
Current on all vaccines, neutered and takes monthly preventative
No children in home
Experienced dog / bully breed owner preferred that values training
Best as only dog in home but can have friends with proper introduction
Friendly with dog savvy cats, slow intros are paramount as this can be a case by case, cat by cat situation

Meet our little friend, Bubbs! He practically BUBBLES over with excitement and would love to bring excitement to your life too. He is so happy to see everyone and get the loving attention he deserves. He just wants to please his people and enjoy life. He is looking for a person who wants to enjoy life and an active lifestyle with him. Bubbs has the playful nature of a puppy but is also housebroken, walks well on a leash and takes treats gently. Oh and so handsome...did I mention handsome? Sadly, when Bubbs was in his former home, he got into an argument with another dog and the person trying to break them up was bitten. We have seen no aggression at all from him since being at the pound. He loves being with people and would rather be with them than alone in his run.

Are you ready to add some excitement to your life? Please come meet Bubbs, the bubbly guy who will keep you entertained and laughing. All adoptions are administered through the local Gloucester Mathews Humane Society.

Please contact Brooke at gro.yteicosenamuhmg@tnemecalplamina to get more info or to set up an appointment to meet this fine young fella. Thank you for helping a homeless dog.
