 | Rescue Me ID: 14-03-03-00239Georgia Mae (female)
We have had Georgia since she was 4-5 weeks old. Her original owner was taking her to the pound and begged us to take her. She is a very loving dog, but needs more time then we are able to dedicate to her right now. We have a beagle mix and two indoor cats that she gets a long fine with. Our two year old son loves her. I just feel like she would be happier with some one who could devote more time to her. Wood County Parkersburg, WV MAP IT!

 | Rescue Me ID: 14-02-08-00152FLEX (male)
FLEX came into our home as a rescue from a local high kill shelter. He was so depressed from being in the shelter the staff didn't think he was going to survive. I had a current foster and couldn't bring him home right away but went to visit him daily and he began to make an immediate recovery. After a week I was able to bring him home where he has been a wonderful foster to have. He does great with our 2 and 7 year old sons and gets along well with our 4 year old female Mastiff and 7 month old male Pit Bull foster. He is a dominant personality so would do best with submissive type dogs and experienced owners who know how to assert ... (Read More)themselves as the 'alpha'. He is very friendly but also protective of us and our children especially. When my husband and our 7 year old get to wrestling and my son makes a noise of distress, FLEX is right there to insert himself between my husband and my son letting him know that's enough. He would make a great addition to a family with children or would make an individual just as happy and be just as devoted to them as well. He loves tennis balls and would like a nice big fenced in yard to run around in for some daily exercise. He is house broken and crate trained and due to some separation anxiety we do keep him crated when not at home so that he won't take his anxiety out by chewing on things.

 | Rescue Me ID: 14-01-28-00607Hunter & Lucy (male)
SPECIAL NEEDS (BONDED PAIR) We are Hunter & Lucy. We are a bonded pair. Hunter says: 'Woof! I am Medium Tan Adult Male Pit Bull. I am nearing 3 years old. I have an excellent temperment. I am a great snuggle buddy and can be somewhat of a couch potato. I love laying around and relaxing and I enjoy kicking back in front of the fireplace. I have lived in a long-term home with other dogs and cats, however sometimes I tend to get excited and play hard. I am not aggressive, but I am not aware of my own strength or size. (I'm kind of a big deal like Superman. Do these photos make my butt look big?) I tend to get very exuberant and happy in ... (Read More)the company of multiple people or animals and my playful demeanor might overwhelm tiny pets, very young children or seniors without intending to. For these reasons, it is best that I be in a home with no small pets (other than my best furever friend Lucy) and where my playtime with those not steady on their feet can be responsibly monitored. I sometimes have a tendency to chew up dog beds if not properly stimulated. I also misbehave with shoes if given the opportunity, so please put those away. I am afraid of lawn mowers, weed eaters and the vacuum cleaner. I am very smart and will do anything to please you. I love puzzle games like "Find The Treat". I get along with every dog unless I feel dominated. I will retreat at first, but I will only tolerate being bullied for so long, so if this should happen please remove me from the situation. Lucy is my best furever friend and I am very gentle with her. I do get along with cats, however again I get excited and they may not enjoy my high energy play.' Lucy says, 'Yap Yap! I am Lucy! I am a Tri-Color Adult Female Jack Russell Terrier. I am almost 4 years old now! I am energetic but not overhwhelmingly so. I am very affectionate and cuddly. I love to sleep under the covers. I love to boss my best furever friend Hunter around! I can be very stubborn. Hunter is very tolerant with me and tolerates everything I dish out to him. I get along with cats and other dogs.' The adoption fee for a bonded pair of dogs is $250 and that includes: 'ۢ veterinarian examination 'ۢ current vaccines 'ۢ current flea, intestinal parasite, and heartworm prevention 'ۢ spay/neuter 'ۢ a microchip for identification if ever lost or stolen 'ۢ current heartworm test For more information on this pet, please visit our website, swval.org or search for us on Petfinder.com In order to adopt, fill out the adoption application from our website or email us at adopt.swval@gmail.com and we'll send you an application!

 | Rescue Me ID: 14-01-25-00237Rose Bud (female)
This past August I was taking my son's girlfriend home in a beautiful part of the country. Suddenly, the truck in front of me swerved and almost went off the road. Then a motorcycle coming toward us did the same thing. When I got up closer I could see this little brown ball in the middle of the isolated road. The truck and motorcycle went on their way and I just stopped and looked at this very beautiful brindle puppy....very emaciated and so scared. I opened the driver's door and she hopped right in on my lap and began covering me with kisses! She then sat herself down in the passenger seat like she owned the car. The vet estimated ... (Read More)her at 4 weeks old and she weighed 11 pounds the next day on her visit. Our best guess is she is a pit/boxer mix. She is beautiful brindle with a white chin and white blaze on her chest. Today she is approximately 7 months old and 56 pounds, spayed and shots are up to date. Goofy long legs. :) Loves to play and gives out more kisses than any one dog should own. She is great with my 6 year old. Does not show food aggression. Will sit to command. Loves to curl up on you like she's a lap dog....good snuggle buddy. She has began to fight for alpha with our grumpy Doxie mix so I feel she would do great in a home as an only female, or with an already-established large alpha female dog. She has never hurt the Doxie and frequently is not the one who instigates the arguments, but the Doxie and her bonded mate were our first rescues. We have 3 cats outside and she is cat-curious but has not had any direct interaction aside from through a chain-link fence; but at that she has never acted aggressive with them. She's not a big barker, so when she does bark she usually has a good reason. She walks great on a leash and harness....with her long legs would be a great running or hiking buddy. Thank you again for posting her bio and pictures! I would love to find her a good, safe and loving home. And hopefully I could keep in touch with her adopters and watch her grow....I would really love and appreciate that! She has a piece of my heart....I just feel there is more for her out there that she deserves. Will need personal references x 2 and a veterinary reference. (Less) Raleigh County Beckley, WV MAP IT!

 | Rescue Me ID: 14-01-15-00106Hooch (male)
Hooch was dropped on my neighbors front porch about 3 months ago and being the animal lover that I am I brought him in my house and gave him food and water. His owner came back later that day and was gonna drop him at the pound and of course I offered instead to take him and find him a new home.His old owner keeps changing her story about how he got the bite marks that were all over his body and the length of which she had him. We don't know anything about his upbringing but what I have discovered since I got him is that he LOVES people. He is definitely a people dog but he hates other dogs and possibly other animals but not sure. We have ... (Read More)alot of feral cats around that he barks at.He is a great dog however I have 2 dogs of my own that I have had shacked up with my inlaws since he has been here and they are not dog people. He has something going on with his lower half and he chews his rump and tail and has recently started plucking the hair out. I can't afford to take him to the vet so we are crossing the line between keeping him alive or taking him to the pound where they will terminate him. I have been searching frantically and so many people are going to be devastated if he loses his life including my children and their friends. Please please someone find it in your heart to take him and give him the love and care he deserves. UPDATE: Someone from out of state is offering to pay for him to see a vet so we can keep him until he finds a home or we move out of our apartment whichever comes first.If we still have him when he is better we will go ahead with his neuter and shots at which point there will be an adoption fee. If you want him before then you must sign a spay/neuter contract and you must have a fenced yard. He will not be an outside dog! (Less) Wood County Parkersburg, WV MAP IT!

| PIease Read Before Adopting a Pit Bull in West Virginia | |||||||||
Pit Bull Dogs can make good pets in West 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.
