Bedford Humane Society Virginia

Bedford Humane Society Virginia Non-Profit, foster-based rescue in VA. No animals are kept on site. Apply to adopt online. Each has their own story that requires a personalized approach.

Mission and Goal: Our mission and our goal at the Bedford Humane Society, Inc. is the elimination of pet overpopulation and suffering in the town and county of Bedford through education, spay/neuter programs, and pet adoptions as well as the prevention of animal cruelty and neglect through advocacy and humane education. Vision: Our vision is to build a caring community where no companion animal is

born unwanted, where they are all happy, healthy, and well fed. All the animals with BHS are in foster homes so not only are they getting the care they need to get back on their feet, but also the attention and training to become a wonderful family member. While we don’t get the show animals that everyone flocks to, here they get a fresh start with us, a new beginning, and a whole new lease on life.

Meet Coal

Coal is a handsome 4 year old German Shepherd with a heart full of love and a strong spirit waiting to shine. After overcoming a rough start with a past owner who didn’t understand him, Coal is now looking for a home where he can shine. Coal is incredibly smart and eager to learn. His love of food makes him highly motivated to train, however it does make him protective of his food. He is a friendly boy who enjoys the company of other dogs and thrives on positive interaction. He knows sit, lie down and paw. He needs training on the leash.

One of Coal’s favorite pastimes is playing catch and chase a ball. He has a quirky habit of carrying sticks in his mouth during walks which never fails to bring a smile to those around him. He is currently living peacefully in a foster home with two Corgis and chickens. Coal would do best in a home that understands his needs and can provide him with plenty of love, playtime, and tasty treats. If you are looking for a loyal and adventure loving companion, Coal is the perfect match.

Coal is microchipped, vaccinated and also neutered. Upon adoption of Coal you will receive a full on- and off-leash private lesson package from The K-9 Academy in Alta Vista. This will be a mandatory condition upon adopting Coal. This will be paid by BHS. The package details can be found at the link below.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does BHS ask for an approved application before a meet and greet?

BHS is a foster-based facility, which means our fosters work really hard at their day jobs, then come home and take care of their foster animal(s). We don’t want our fosters to take time away from their already busy schedules if an applicant wouldn’t be approved to adopt with us, or is not really serious about adopting. Our application does not mean you must adopt the animal you are interested in. The application simply tells us you are seriously looking for your next forever pet and that you would be approved to adopt from us.

Okay I filled out my application now what?
