 | Rescue Me ID: 15-03-05-00539Charlie (male)
My name is Charlie & I am a beautiful pitty boy who had the misfortune of having owners who didn't take good care of me. They put a collar on me as a puppy & chained me up but they never changed my collar as I grew up so it became embedded in my skin & it hurt me badly. Thankfully I was rescued by the animal control officers who took me to the vet and had the collar cut out of my skin. Then I was taken to the animal shelter where I waited to see if someone would want to add me to their family...sadly nobody was interested in me and my time ran out. That's when the people here at the rescue stepped up to give me a safe place to live until my ... (Read More)family can find me. I am good with people of all ages & I seem to be good with the other dogs here. I walk great on my harness (I can't wear a collar yet) and I like to ride in the car. I am UTD on shots & I will be neutered prior to adoption. (Less) Lost Fantasy Rescue Bland County Ceres, VA 24318 MAP IT!

 | Rescue Me ID: 15-03-05-00464Flip (male)
They call me Flip and I am the sweetest boy you would ever want to meet. I make lots of happy noises when you pet me and my tail wags constantly. I love to play with toys and I get along fine with the other dogs here. I don't mind riding in the car but I still need some work on my leash manners and the rescue insists that if you adopt me you enroll me in doggy obedience so I can be the best dog that I can be. I was pulled from our high kill shelter when my time ran out and nobody wanted to take me home with them. I have been temperment tested and passed with flying colors. I am not food or toy possessive and I will give you whatever is ... (Read More)in my mouth if I shouldn't have it. I have been with the rescue for a long time now and I would really like a home of my very own where I can have all the attention I could ever want. Please take me home!

Hi ya'll. My name is Kimo. I am a southern girl with more charm than any dog should have. I have quickly become one of the favorites at the shelter. I love to hang out in the lobby or under the desk of the staff. When the humans here bring another dog out I have so much fun playing with them. Because I am young I am pretty much in their face but the other dogs love to play with me too. The shelter humans taught me to sit and down in one day. I heard them say how smart I am. I heard them say I walk pretty well on the leash and they said I won't be here long. Because I am so sweet they said I will find my forever human soon. Won't ... (Read More)you come be that human?

Cuteness alert! Yep, I'm warning you ahead of time'|if you don't want to fall in love, close your eyes and move on. My name is Miller. I'm part pit bull; part horse. Okay'|maybe there's actually some St. Bernard in my bloodline. No one actually knows my heritage, but at 5 1/2 months and 45 pounds, I'm going to be a BIG boy when I grow up! I'll be a playful and gentle giant. I am currently being treated for demodectic mange, so I'm missing a lot of hair right now. What I do have looks like it's going to be thick and longer than your average pit bull type dog. Part horse? No one knows. I'm already crate trained and pretty close to ... (Read More)being house-trained. I have had a few small pee-pee accidents, but they've mostly been right in front of the door. I'm trying to train my humans to put me on a tighter schedule. I've only been out of the shelter a few weeks, but my fosters say I'm doing really well learning my house manners. I know how to sit for a treat, and I'm willing to learn all the things doggies need to learn to be great companions. I am looking for a family that will take the time to teach me all kinds of fun and interesting new things. I'm great with other dogs and well-mannered children of all sizes. I'm what they call 'quite the catch'! So if you can't get enough of my cuteness, let my people know that you would like to make me part of the family.

Jezabel was taken from a backyard breeder and now is in a rural high-kill shelter in SC. This is a gorgeous, sweet, loving girl who is about 4 years old and weighs 63 lbs. Since she likes attention, Jezabel will follow people around being calm and attentive the whole time. She really craves a human companion of her own. Jezabel gets along with cats. While she is good with most other dogs, Jezabel does better with male dogs. Since she is a little alpha, she might stand up to an alpha male.

She can be brought to the DC area only if she has an approved foster or adopter. Can Jezabel come and live with you? Your reward will be a lifetime of kisses.

Candy Cane was found as a stray when she was VERY pregnant. She was brought by Animal Control to a rural SC high-kill shelter. The shelter staff tried to get a rescue for her before her puppies were born. But they had no luck. While a shelter is no place to give birth, it is there that she delivered her puppies. Again, the shelter staff tried to find rescue for this little family, but failed. Sadly, none of her puppies survived the harsh realities of shelter life. Now, her time in the shelter is rapidly running out. She is a sweet, happy girl who is about 2-3 years old and weighs 67 lbs. Candy Cane is very selective about her dog friends ...

Having lived in an outdoor shelter for several months, she will need a refresher course in house manners, leash walking, and basic obedience.

Her adoption fee includes spay/neuter, shots, and transport to the DC area. Candy Cane needs an approved foster or adopter before we can bring her to the DC metro area. Could she be a match for you?

I was given a puppy pit a couple of months ago and was going to keep him because my 16 year old Rottweiler died about a week earlier- My boss brought the puppy to my house and gave it to my son who was devastated about the loss of our dog, he did not ask but thought he was doing us a favor. I have 4 son's and currently fell into some finance issues so am staying with family until our place is available but unfortunately I have not been able to find a place that accepts pets- I brought him to a shelter- they told me it was a no kill shelter but a couple of days later they called me and said if we do not pick him up in 3 hours he will be put ... (Read More)to sleep- I could not handle him being put down so I picked him up and brought him with us from Florida to Virginia but I still can not find a place for him and am scared that if it comes to finding shelter for my kids or keeping a dog I have to make sure my kids are first.He loves to play- good with babies and young children- but older teens and adults he does jump up and plays a little rough- if he has a yard to run and burn some of that energy or is able to go on long walks than he is a great dog- but being that I am staying with family and their place does not accept dogs I am hiding him and he must stay in a cage at all times- and the place I'm moving into I can not bring him- I do not want to bring him to a shelter when I know they will end up killing him- (Less) Hampton (City) virginia beach, VA MAP IT!

Very sweet girl, was rescued from being placed into a shelter. We are currently fostering but are unable to keep her. She absolutely loves all people and has not shown any aggression. Great with all dogs we have seen so far, however has shown some dominance behavior with one of the other females (not aggression though). We have not seen her with any children under the age of 10, but she has done great in the home she is at now with a 10 and 12 year old. Loves to climb and lay in your lap ;) She chews (on stuffed animals) some still so will need some training and lots of activity. She would be a great addition to any family or home.

 | Rescue Me ID: 15-01-29-00298Vixie (female)
The Health issues listed are from the past. We rescued her a year ago, and have loved her unconditionally since. However she is way to hyper to be around the small children in our home (and we have another on the way), and has not been getting along with the other female dog in our home for the past 6-7 months. A friend took her in for a week and a half and she did not get along with the female dogs there either, but didn't mess with the male dogs there. She has NOT liked cats at all since we rescued her, and we know she was being abused by a male, so she was very afraid of men when she came to us, but has since gotten over that (thanks to ... (Read More)my husband). She is not in immediate danger, but she is having to be kept separate from the children and other dog in our home, so I feel bad about her being 'locked in a room', even though it's only been less than 24 hours she's been home. We don't want her going to a shelter, because we don't want to risk her being put down, but we only have about a week or less to find her a home. (I don't want to keep her 'locked up' longer than that. :( ). Over all, she is a very loving dog, loves cuddling, she even things she is a lap dog! :) She is so small (I think it's from the malnutrition before coming to us), and a friend of mine even called her a 'pocket pit'(?). She will be sent with a leash, collar (not the one on her in the photo), food, treats, three months of heart worm prevention, vet paperwork, a bone (if I can find where she hid it, lol), and her doggy sweater (if my husband will tell me where he put it), and maybe a few other things as I find them. We want her to go to a loving home, where she will be the only pet/'center of attention', like she deserves. She does get afraid easily (we were told she was a bait dog before the last people had her), but it hasn't stopped her from being so lovable. Also we were told she is purebred by the vet, but we never did testing to find out. (Less) Norfolk (City) Norfolk, VA MAP IT!

Mana was surrendered to the shelter with her Great Dane sister by her family. Her sister immediately had many offers, and Mana was going to be put down - no one wants a mangy puppy. So Mana came into foster care and proved what an awesome waste that would have been. She is a silly, happy, intelligent soul. She loves other dogs, enjoys wrestling and running, likes nylabones and rope toys, and she enjoys puzzles. Mana is housebroken and crate trained, knows to sit and lay down, and a few other basic commands. She rides well in the car, but needs to work on her leash manners. Please text her foster mom at 4103305448 to meet Mana. Virginia

Razzmatazz Razzy Tazzy has been at Richmond Animal Care and Control since early June. He's been in foster care for a couple months, and we adore him. Still, it's time for this boy to go to his forever home. Razz is around 3 or 4 years old. He's a smaller gentleman, less than 40lbs. His ear is always wonky and adorable. He didn't do well in the shelter - he growled and barked at other dogs and was aloof towards people. Because of this he was overlooked again and again. But Razz outside of the shelter is a different boy. The real Razzmatazz is an affectionate, goofy, loving, patient, extremely tolerant and dog-friendly, great with kids, ... (Read More)an energetic snuggler, and actually would like to be attached to your hip all the time, thank you very much kind of boy. Razz doesn't really enjoy being alone and ideally his forever family would be with him pretty often. He makes this easy for the right life style as he's very well behaved and smart. He knows to sit, lay down, stay, and come. When he does need to be left alone he feels a little better if there is a dog friend nearby, and needs to be crated or he will chew things he shouldn't. I suspect he would do well with cats but we would need to see. Razz is crate trained and house broken. Aside from when he is stressed and alone uncrated, he does not chew things he should not, and he loves nylabones and kongs. He likes to hike although we are working on his leash manners. Razz is a 4-on-the-floor kind of guy and that's really nice for small children especially. Razzy is neutered, up to date on shots and preventatives, and healthy. His adoption fee is $100 which covers a fraction of his care while he was at the shelter. If you would like to meet Razz or have any questions you can text 410-330-5448.

My female is expecting a litter and is due on Feb. 18th. This was an 'oops' litter, the dam was impregnated by the sire literally 48 hours before we got him fixed. The dam is 2 years old and was impregnated on her 4th heat. Her last litter consisted of 9 puppies all of whom were in excellant health. The dam is a blue nose, black with white markings. The sire is a red nose, light brown and white. The last litter had both blue and red nose pups and I expect this will be much the same. The puppies are born in our home, among our family, and will thus be accostumed to being around other dogs and small children. They will also expect to sleep on ... (Read More)your lapand couch. If you want an outside dog these puppies are not for you. We put a lot of work into socialization and obedience so that our puppies will make great family pet site, as well as two males from the previous litter. Though our dogs arenot registered I will be happy to send photos so that you can check the authenticity of our dogs blood line through appearence. The sire has dog aggression issues despite early socialization, as did some of the pups from the previous litter so this may be an issue. However, he is very good with dogs in his home that he considers 'pack'. Both sire, dam, and pups are very, very swet and gentle with my ypung children. All puppies have demonstrated this trait is well. The sire is very healthy; at 12 years old he has made 2 litters of puppies and has had no major health issues. The dam is an excellant mother and has a wonderful temperment. This upcoming litter will be available late March to early April. I will post pictures as soon as they are born and continue to update my post. I will only allow my puppies to go people that will love them and treat them as part of the family.

 | Rescue Me ID: 15-01-07-00191 (female)
Hello, I'm located in Ford, VA in Dinwiddie County, on Sunday January, 4th we picked up an emaciated young female pitbull who was picking through the garbage at a nearby dumping station. She was running up to every vehicle that pulled in there, looking for her people. When I opened the truck door, she jumped in. I called and reported her to Dinwiddie Animal Control and I've reported her as found on websites for lost dogs both local and state wide, trying to find her people. I agreed to foster her for the 7 day stray hold as opposed to bringing her to the overcrowded shelter. Her stray hold will be over on the 12th and after that I need ... (Read More)a safe place for her to go. After talking at length with shelter staff I thought it was better to try and get her into rescue as opposed to finding her a home myself. There's way too many people in this area that have fighting dogs and she already has scarring on her front legs and head from old bite wounds. I'm just not comfortable not being able to screen prospective homes as well as a rescue can. The reason I can't keep her is that I've already for 5 other dogs including a young hound that we found in a ditch, in really bad shape. He's heartworm positive as well so I'm in the process of having that treated as well as everything else that's medically wrong with him. I took her in because I couldn't in clear conscience leave her at the dump, on a busy highway and nobody else looked like they were willing to help her. I know rescues are always full but I'm hoping that maybe you might possibly have a foster available or know another rescue who does. I'm also willing to pay for vaccines. worming and her spay if needed (although, I do feel a spay scar, it's not visible). Fingers crossed that she's not heartworm positive but if she is then I can help with her treatment as well, although I can't afford the entire thing while paying for the dog here currently undergoing treatment. I just can't manage a 6th dog right now, with everything else on my plate but I don't want you to feel like I'm just dumping her in rescue, I took her in so the least I can do is help with her bills. This is what I know about her so far: - She's a young dog, maybe a year old - She's dark brown, almost black - Right now she's very, very skinny but I'm working on that with 3 feedings per day of high quality puppy food - She's got scars on both front legs and her head and face from fighting or being attacked - She approaches my other dogs with a wagging tail and is a little unsure about them, when they get closer she stiffens, growls and shows her teeth. Part of me believes that this behavior is purely fear but I'm not willing to find out and have a fight break out. All interaction has been with a fence between them, one at a time and off leash. None of my dogs are comfortable with her either, and they're all dog friendly but they don't want to interact with her at all. - She is very interested in chasing my cats, especially when they come close and then run away. Again, not willing to find out if she'd hurt them or not. - She's got 'happy tail' and the bone is exposed, I'm treating that multiple times a day with topical antibiotic. She had that when I rescued her so I'm thinking she was crated or kenneled prior. - She barked and whined non stop in her crate at first but is getting better about settling down in there. Unfortunately if I can't watch her like a hawk, she'll eat anything she thinks might be edible but that comes from being half starved so she's crated when I can't be in the same room. Now all the positives.... -She's absolutely amazing with my 3 year old son, who's autistic and can try the patience of a saint ! -She's 100% housebroken -She's wonderful with people, always wagging her tail and happy to greet anyone who comes over -She's never shown ANY aggression at all with people....I just gave her a much needed bath, and although she struggled and was scared, at no point was she ever fear aggressive -She's very polite about furniture and won't jump up unless invited -At some point she's lived in a house, she's just that comfortable and made herself at home right away - She doesn't seem to know any obedience but as food motivated as she is, she'll be a very fast learner. I'm more focused on getting her back into good health right now then training her. - She loves to cuddle on the couch and is very settled when loose in the house -She's a Velcro dog and even when she's out in the exercise yard she never wanders far from me to do her business -She knows what toys are and loves to play -Where I just moved from, there's a breed ban so I have absolutely no prior experience with pitbulls, however if their temperaments are all half as nice as hers is, I'm now a fan of this breed ! If you're interested in meeting her or are a rescue and have a foster available, please contact me. She needs to be in a single dog, no cat home. (Less) Dinwiddie County Ford, VA MAP IT!

Since I am very sweet girl, I will make a great furry family member for someone someone. I do like to play and might inadvertently knock over toddlers or small children. So I would do best in a home with children who are over the age of 8. I love to snuggle with my people and give kisses. So far, there has not been a person I do not like. But, sometimes if there are lots of people around, I get a little shy. However, I quickly come out of my shell even in large groups. There are ... (Read More)five larger dogs and five cats in my current foster home. And I get along great with everyone. I do have my favorite pooch friends to roughhouse with. But I do not discriminate and will snuggle and play with all of them. My foster home has a big fenced yard where I love running around and playing. I am UTD on shots/monthly preventatives and have already been crate-trained and housetrained. Currently, I am working on my basic obedience and doing very well. It would be great if I could find an active person or family who would continue my training and take me on wonderful adventures with them. Are you the special person or family who will give me the forever home I deserve? I will repay you with soulful snuggles, heartfelt kisses, and love from every fiber of my being.

Hi, my name is Scarlett. When I came into the shelter I was dirty and loaded with ticks and fleas. The nice shelter people cleaned me and got rid of all those nasty pests. I was underweight so they gave me lots of good food. I love the people here at the shelter but I want my own people to love. I am a favorite here but it isn't the same as having my own home. There haven't been any kids at the shelter so I don't know if I like them or not. I love to hang out in the shelter lobby which is like a living room.

They cleaned me up, gave me some good food, wormed me, gave me my shots and heartworm checked me. Yes, I had heartworms. At some shelters that would be a death sentence. Because I am so sweet the shelter staff decided they had to treat me. I had my last treatment 6 weeks ago and will soon get my next heartworm check to make sure I am negative.

Got a place in your heart for a sweetheart like me who loves nothing more than to hang out with her favorite people? I love to cuddle and soak up attention. I would love to find a home with a fenced-in yard so I can play ball with you to our heart's content. I'm great at bringing my ball back and dropping it so you can throw it again and again. Don't worry, I won't keep you out all day or cause injury to your arm because of overuse%BD'%BD|I tire out quickly enough and then am ready to go back in and cuddle up some more. My foster peeps say I have just enough energy to be fun, but not enough to drive anyone crazy trying to keep me ... (Read More)exercised. I'm what you'd call medium to low energy. I get along with most everyone, though I prefer my doggy friends to have the same energy level I have and not too much more. Puppy energy is a bit much for me. I love children of all ages and have never met a stranger; everyone is a potential belly-rubber in my book! Cat-free homes are definitely preferred as they are a bit too much fun to chase and bark at. For some reason, the kitties just don't appreciate that too much.

| PIease Read Before Adopting a Pit Bull in Virginia | |||||||||
Pit Bull Dogs can make good pets in Virginia if they match your IifestyIe. The American Pit Bull Terrier is a powerful dog with an undeserved reputation for inherent viciousness. A Pit Bull that receives attention, firm training, and thorough socialization makes a wonderful family guardian that is trustworthy with children. Pit Bulls need committed, experienced owners that exude leadership. Pit Bulls excel at high level obedience with proper training. Pit Bulls have been bred for dog fights, and unfortunately a dog that is abused, neglected, or whose instinctive aggression is encouraged, can become hostile and dangerous. Pit Bulls can adapt to apartment life with enough exercise.
