🐾✨ Meet Randy — The Sweet, Social Explorer! ✨🐾
If you’re looking for a dog who brings joy, friendliness, and fun to every walk, say hello to Randy — a handsome 2–3-year-old, 50-pound brindle-and-white pit bull mix who’s neutered, fully vetted, and so ready to meet his forever family.
🌟 A Total Gentleman (With a Dash of Goof)
When Randy first hops out of his kennel, he’s full of excitement — a few happy jumps, a wiggle, maybe a little “YAY we’re going outside!” moment.
But after that?
He settles into a lovely, easy leash walk, exploring calmly and taking in every scent like it’s the best story he’s ever read.
👫 A Social Butterfly
Randy makes friends effortlessly. He approaches people with soft eyes and a calm, gentle energy, giving them the perfect chance to scratch his head (his absolute favorite). Within seconds, he’s stealing hearts.
🍖 Smart & Eager
This boy already knows his sit command and watches you closely for cues — especially if treats are involved. He’s the kind of dog who will thrive with someone who loves teaching tricks or working on simple training. His enthusiasm makes it fun.
🐶 Dog-Friendly Vibes
Randy has walked beautifully on leash alongside other dogs and shows nice doggy manners. As always, proper meet-and-greets are a must, but this boy shows real potential as a polite companion.
🚶‍♂️ A Walker’s Dream
He gives a great, steady, enjoyable stretch on walks — not rushing, not dragging, just that perfect “let’s explore the world together” pace.
If you’re looking for a friendly, affectionate, easy-to-love companion who blossoms outside the kennel and wants nothing more than to be your adventure buddy… Randy is ready.

🐾🤍 Meet Champ — The Gentle, Treat-Loving Teddy Bear 🤍🐾

Say hello to Champ, a 3-year-old mixed breed heartthrob (we’re guessing maybe a little Lab, Pyrenees, or even Irish Wolfhound in the mix!) weighing in around 65–70 pounds of pure love.

We’re still getting to know this handsome boy, but one thing is already clear: Champ is sweet to his core. From the moment you meet him, you can see his gentle nature shine through.

🌟 What We’ve Learned About Champ So Far:
• Affectionate sweetheart: He willingly takes treats from your hand and loves placing his paws in your lap to ask for more attention.
• People-focused: Champ truly seeks affection — he wants to be close and loved, and he gives that love right back.
• Food-motivated smarty: His love of treats makes him a great candidate for continued training and bonding.
• Learning the ropes: Leash walking may be new to him, so a patient adopter who can help him build skills and confidence will help him thrive.
• Prefers being the one-and-only: Champ wasn’t a fan of another dog at the shelter, so he’ll do best as the only dog in the home where he can soak up ALL the love.

Champ’s gentle energy and eagerness to connect make him truly special. With a kind heart and a hopeful spirit, he’s ready to find the person or family who will show him what it means to be cherished.

Barney came to us as a stray. His owner was identified, but sadly, he was never reclaimed. So now, this sweet little man is ready to write a brand-new chapter with a family who will love him forever.

💙🐾 Meet Storm — The Sweet, Blue-Hued Beauty Waiting for Her Sunshine 🐾💙

Some dogs walk into your heart the moment you meet them — and Storm is absolutely one of those dogs.

This 4-year-old, 40-pound, stunning blue pit bull mix is spayed, fully vetted, and a total volunteer favorite. Despite her incredible temperament, she keeps getting overlooked… but she won’t be once you meet her.

💛 A Gentle, Loving Soul
Storm adores affection. She leans her whole body into you for pets, melting into every bit of attention like she’s finally found her safe place. Spend just a few minutes with her and you’ll understand why everyone who knows her loves her.

🐕 Curious & Dog-Interested
Storm is fascinated by other dogs — she clearly wants to play — but she’ll need proper meet-and-greets with potential canine siblings to make sure everyone vibes well. She’s polite, intrigued, and eager to connect.

🌊 Adventure… or Snuggles?
Storm enjoys splashing around and walking in water, which is adorable to watch.
But honestly? Her favorite adventure is you.

Sometimes she hesitates on walks because she’d rather stay close and soak up love. She walks great on leash, calm and steady, happy just to be by your side.

🎾 Smart, Playful & Treat-Motivated
Sits on command
Loves treats
Enjoys chasing tennis balls in the play yard
She’s the perfect mix of soft, sweet affection and playful joy.

🚗 Calm in the Car & Happy Out of the Kennel
Take her for a ride? She’s easy.
Take her out of her kennel? She lights up.
Storm is a dog who is simply ready — ready for a couch, a family, and a place where she doesn’t get passed by anymore.

💙 Storm has waited long enough.
If you want a loyal, loving, gentle companion with a heart as beautiful as her blue coat, come meet her. She’s everything people hope for in a forever friend — she just needs someone to see her.

💖 Meet Lola – the lovebug with a little sass and a LOT of heart!
At 2–3 years old and about 50 pounds, Lola is the total package — white-and-brindle beauty, house-trained, leash-ready, dog-friendly, affectionate, and full of charm. She’s got personality for days (an 11 out of 10, truly).
Lola is thriving in her foster home with two other pups, and she’s proven to be an easy housemate — she rides great in the car, knows her commands, and can be crated if needed.
She just needs a little time to warm up to new people, but once you’re in her circle, you’ll have a hilarious, loyal companion who’ll bring endless joy to your days. She’s not a fan of vet visits, but with patience and understanding, Lola will show you she’s worth every bit of extra effort.
✨ Ready to meet your new best friend? Reach out to her foster at [email protected] or 804-690-5801 to learn more or set up a visit.

Looking for a dog with the softest wrinkles, the warmest heart, and a personality that’ll make you smile every single day?
Say hello to H***h, a handsome 2-year-old, 65-lb tan and white bully mix with the cutest neck-and-head wrinkles you’ve ever seen. He’s neutered, fully vetted, and SO ready to start his new life.
✨ Why You’ll Love Him
H***h is the perfect blend of strong, sweet, and silly.
When he first steps out of his kennel, he’s a little excited and pulls at first — he’s just thrilled to see the world again! But give him a minute, and he settles into a lovely, steady walk. Once he’s relaxed, he’s all about checking out the world… one smell at a time.
🍪 Treat-Lover Extraordinaire
This boy is highly food-motivated and sits like an absolute pro the moment you ask. His ears perk up, he focuses, and he’s all, “Yes ma’am, I’m READY for my snack!”
Training with him will be fun and rewarding — he’s smart, willing, and eager to please.
💛 A Resilient Sweetheart
H***h came in with some skin issues, and thanks to good vet care and lots of TLC, he’s looking and feeling so much better. Through it all, he’s stayed good-natured, trusting, and gentle-souled.
🏡 H***h’s Dream Home
H***h would love a family who enjoys walks, adventures, and giving big goofy dogs all the affection they deserve. He’s strong, curious, and full of love — and he’s just waiting for someone who sees how special he is.
If you’ve been hoping for a loyal, wrinkly-faced companion to brighten your days…

💛 Meet Coco Lopez — the Sweet, Squishy-Faced Sweetheart! 💛

If you’re searching for a gentle, easygoing companion with a wonderfully unique look, Coco Lopez is ready to steal your heart. This 2–3-year-old tan-and-white bulldog mix, about 50 pounds, is a perfect blend of mellow, affectionate, and delightfully quirky — complete with her bushy tail and those unforgettable gargoyle ears that make her truly one of a kind.

Coco Lopez walks beautifully on leash, taking the world in with calm curiosity. She’s got a relaxed, go-with-the-flow vibe, and her tail starts happily wagging the moment she hears a little baby talk. She’s friendly and accepting of gentle touch, and once she trusts you, she leans right in for affection.

She’s also a polite lady when it comes to snacks — a gentle treat taker who appreciates a steady pace (just don’t keep her waiting too long!). She shows playful, positive interest in other dogs, and with the right match, she may enjoy a canine companion — but she’ll need a meet & greet with any resident dogs to ensure it’s a good fit. And in the cat room? She had no reaction at all, taking everything in stride.

Call her name and she’ll trot right over with a soft expression that says, “Did you need me?” Coco Lopez is simply an easy dog to love — calm, sweet, and ready to be someone’s loyal companion.

✨ Coco Lopez is waiting for a loving home where she can shine.
Come meet her and see why everyone who spends time with her can’t help but fall for her gentle charm.

💛 Meet Kevin – The 50-Pound Lapdog With a Heart of Gold

If you’re looking for a loyal, loving, melt-right-into-you kind of companion, Kevin is your guy. This 2–3-year-old shepherd mix (about 50 lbs) is a total softie who just wants to love and be loved.

When you stop to say hello, Kevin’s whole body lights up — his tail wags, his eyes soften, and he leans in close for pets and scratches. Crouch down, and he’ll gently rest his head near your lap, sneak in a few kisses, and quietly ask, “Can we just stay like this forever?” 🥹

Kevin is fully vetted, neutered, and has wonderful manners. He’s very playful with other dogs and would absolutely enjoy having a friendly canine buddy. He might get a little excited at first (who wouldn’t when meeting new friends?), but he settles beautifully once he’s had his hello moment.

In the cat room, Kevin was non-reactive, taking everything in calmly and politely — so with the right introduction, he could potentially be a great match for a feline friend, too.

Life in the shelter has been stressful for this affectionate boy, and he’s hoping for a home where he can finally relax, fill out a bit, and show off his goofy, snuggly side. Kevin’s not just looking for a place to stay — he’s looking for his person.

If you’ve got an open heart and a cozy couch, Kevin has all the love in the world waiting for you. 💕

🌸 Meet Athena
1–2 years old • 35 lbs • Gray & white Pit Bull mix

Athena is a bright little bundle of love who can’t wait to share her big heart with a family of her own. This petite pittie mix may still be gaining a few healthy pounds, but her spirit is already larger than life!

When it’s time for a walk, Athena can hardly contain her excitement — she bounces with happiness, tail wagging, thrilled to explore the world outside her kennel. Once she’s had a chance to stretch her legs, her affectionate side shines through. When her volunteer crouched down to give her some love, Athena tucked her head into their leg and wagged her tail, gently leaning in as if to say, “Don’t stop, please!”

She loves hearing she’s a “good girl”, and honestly, she really is one. Her leash manners are still a work in progress (she prefers a joyful zigzag to a straight line), but her enthusiasm makes every outing fun.

Athena would thrive in a home where she can get regular exercise, continued positive training, and plenty of cuddles. She’s affectionate, eager to please, and so ready to blossom with someone who will cherish her.

Come meet Athena — this wiggly, snuggly girl is waiting to fill your life with love and laughter. 💖

🌸 Meet Jasmine – Your Future Fetch Champion! 🎾

Looking for a loyal friend with a heart of gold (and a serious tennis ball addiction)? Meet Jasmine, a gorgeous brindle pit bull mix weighing around 50 pounds and estimated to be 2–4 years old. This sweet girl has already been spayed, and she’s ready to find her forever home!

Jasmine may start out a little shy, but once she trusts you, her playful personality shines. She could spend hours chasing tennis balls — it’s her absolute favorite game! She’s also a pro at “sit” and extra motivated by tasty treats (the way to her heart is definitely through snacks and fetch).

While Jasmine isn’t quite sure about long walks yet, she’s perfectly content romping around a fenced yard and soaking up love and attention from her people. What she needs most is a patient, understanding owner who will give her the time and space to feel safe — and maybe a bucket of tennis balls, too.

If you’re looking for a sweet, silly, and loyal companion who’ll make every day brighter, come meet Jasmine today! 💛

🎾 Likes: Tennis balls, treats, gentle affection
🚫 Dislikes: Leaving playtime too soon
🏡 Ideal home: A fenced yard, patient humans, and endless fetch sessions
