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 BoBo

BoBo …. This sweet boy must have his own guardian angel. Not only was he a stray taken to shelter found to have Parvo ... off to the Vet, and he survived … now he is with Bedford Humane waiting for someone to give him a home. BoBo is a very sweet boy, you would never know what he’s been though in his young life. BOBO is a young energetic puppy that needs someone to love him but to teach him to be a solid citizen. BoBo will probably do well with children that understand and respect puppies. He is young enough that with the proper introduction cats would be fine also and he appears good with dogs.

BoBo has been microchipped, dewormed, and his vaccinations are current for his age. BoBo’s adoption fee is $275. For more information please visit our website at www.bhsva.org to fill out an adoption application.

Meet Millie

Millie appears to be some type of Terrier. Her mom looks part Maltese. Millie has had a rough life and now is looking forward to being loved and taken care of. She is not sure how to handle new dogs when they approach because she was kept locked up. She is very sweet and happy, and walks well on a leash. She does not mind being in a crate, and did really well taking a bath. Can you give Millie the home she deserves?

Millie has been dewormed, microchipped, vaccinated, tested for heartworms, and has been spayed.

Meet Toby

Toby appears to be a Shepherd/Lab mix. His estimated birthday is in January 2025. Toby has a hyper side. He loves to be with his person. He loves attention. He walks well on a leash, knows a few commands like sit, wait, place and is learning to stay. He came to BHS very skinny, therefore he eats really fast. He is now on a slow feed bowl. Toby's ears are starting to stay straight up. He is a beautiful pup. If only Toby could tell us what happened in the past. Toby has part of his tail that has been broken. It does not bother him and he still wags it. Toby is unsure about some dogs, and therefore he barks when he approaches them. Toby needs a home where he can get lots of attention and continue his training.

Toby has been dewormed, microchipped, vaccinated, tested for heartworms, and is on heartworm preventative. Toby has been neutered and is all ready for his new home.

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?
