She is 1 3/4 yrs old, Full of energy, great personality, very lovey and loves to go in the car. She is in a kennel with two males but when I introduced her to Titus it didn't go so well. I would probably suggest an only dog home to start out with at least. Please help me find Hazel a loving home ASAP! King and Queen County St Stephens Church, VA MAP IT!

Rudy is the very handsome gentleman we rescued after an unfortunate surrender. He had significant damage to his lower lip and jaw from an attack by another dog in his home. After Dr. T and his amazing care in Moyock, this little guy is just excited to be as striking as ever! Rudy participated in our pack walk and was a wonderful participant. He was not reactive at all to other dogs, very friendly to everyone he met, and even ignored a dog who wanted to be difficult. We don't think he has an agitatable nerve in his lovely little body. He's not a big fan of thunderstorms, but chooses to snuggle up with momma. We originally considered placing ... (Read More)him as an only dog, but he is so social and playful, this would be a disservice to him. We do, however, want to make sure that he is never in a repeated situation, so other animals will have to be introduced properly, and we would probably bring him to your home to make sure there are no territory issues.

She was quickly placed on the dreaded To Be Destroyed List after developing an upper respiratory infection. Have previously been approved to foster, I requested that Jems be pulled.

She is healthy and happy, now sporting a sleek full shinny coat. Jems has learned that other dogs can be friends. She has lots of energy and enjoys brisk leash walks. The Jemmy girl is a leg hugger supreme to anyone and everyone she meets. She does still occasionally pop doggie wheelies when being leashed walked, but typically only immediately before expressing her affection by tightly hugging a human's leg. Jems enjoys snuggling up beside humans to receive pets. She is an absolute dear who is so very much deserving of a person to call her very own. Jemma is crate trained, but does need at least three walks a day. If you are interested in becoming this little cutenesses' person, please feel free to contact.

Cash is a sweet boy who is about 3 yrs old in May. He has an adorable personality. He needs to be with an adult that knows pits well and that can immediately establish the dominate roll.

He is now uncomfortable in almost every setting where I have taken him to with other dogs. I have temporarily given him a home b/c his previous owner had to move away. He Is a bit out of his element right now but has done fairly well. He just has too much aggression towards other animals. I ... (Read More)do not believe he wants to just kill another dog but b/c of his strength and it having happened in an unpredictable situation and wearing no shock collar at the time he has already had 2 incidents with other dogs. I can explain those further when you call b/c I believe in his eyes he was provoked and they were warranted but he cannot continue to be put in those situations. I can explain much more about his situation when you call but this fellow deserves to live out the rest of his life in peace and happiness. We just need to find that perfect fit. Single male or female or young couple with lots of energy for that long walk or run in the afternoon. He is completely crate & house trained, he should be an inside dog, not chained to a tree or lead outside. He is too strong and could break it very easily. He is also shock collar trained with the vibration usually being the only setting you have to use. Please give this sweet boy a chance. Thank you for looking. (Less) Floyd County Floyd, VA MAP IT!

Poor Niles was thrown from a vehicle going down the interstate and rescued by a family that witnessed this horrible incident. The family was unable to keep him so he was taken to a high kill shelter in south Carolina. Thanks to some amazing volunteers the funds were raised to amputate his severely broken leg. Since Niles only has 3 legs his weight needs to be monitored because of the stress on his hind leg if he becomes overweight. He is such a snuggle bug and very low energy inside the home.

I LOVE to play fetch with my tennis ball and run zoomie laps around the back yard. I am a whopping 35lbs of solid muscle and sometimes dad says I have springs in my feet.

My name is Grace-face, and my daddy calls me Gracie. I am Mella's big sister and we are looking for a home together. Mella is the sassy one, I am the quiet one. My favorite thing in the WHOLE WIDE WORLD is to play with my Kong. I will carry it with me everywhere I go and even do flips to try to catch it when you throw it for me. My daddy says I look like a bear-bull, probably because I am as sweet as honey and I hear bears love honey. I am bigger than Mella but I only weigh about 45lbs and I will also be 4 in November. We are looking for a home with no other pets and a fenced in yard. Who needs other pets when you have us? We have PLENTY of love to share.

| 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.
