Remember that time we said Georgia would prefer to be an only dog? We take it back.
Over the last 3 weeks of being in a new foster home away from her puppies, she has flourished with her dog friends. When she’s not tanning her buns lounging in the sun, she can be found playing bitey-face with her pitbull foster brother, or trying to get the shepherds to play with her.

We think she would enjoy another playful dog (or two) in her forever home to occupy her endless amounts of sweet, silly energy.

(Cute video of bitey-face in the comments)

Reagan says “sun’s out buns out”.
This handsome fella was neutered last week and is ready to transition to his final forever family. His foster mom is leaving for a much needed vacation on Wednesday, so we’d love to have him with his new people before then!

If you want an easy going, go-with-the-flow, down for anything type of dog, Reagan is your guy.

🚨 Foster Homes Needed for Two Loving Dobermans! 🐾

We are urgently seeking two foster families to open their hearts and homes to two beautiful Dobermans:

🐶 Milo: Male - 10 Months Old
This sweet young boy is full of energy, curiosity, and love. He’s still learning the ropes of life and would thrive in a home that can provide structure, playtime, and affection. He was surrendered for financial reasons, and has lived with other dogs and older children.

🐕‍🦺 Sable: Female - 7 to 9 Years Old
A calm, affectionate lady who just wants a comfy place to rest her paws. She’s past the puppy stage and is looking for a peaceful environment to enjoy her golden years. She was found as a stray, and never reclaimed.

✅ All vet care is covered
✅ We provide supplies and support
✅ You provide the love 💕

📍 Currently located in Chesapeake VA.
📩 Message us here if you’re interested or want to learn more!

Please share to help us find safe, loving foster placement for these two sweeties.

**Foster found! Thanks Chris!**

Last foster plea for the day WE PROMISE!

This 4 month old “no name” puppy is half German Shepherd, and half Lab/Dutchie - the product of, you guessed it, backyard breeding. He is 25lbs, and very sweet/submissive. He is dog social too! He currently resides in Richmond, but has a ride back to Hampton Roads this evening if we can find a foster family for him.

So, you know the drill….send us a message if you’re interested in giving this guy a soft place to land for a bit.

Foster needed for “Jericho” an 8yr old Sheltie/Mini Aussie who comes in a Pomeranian sized package!

This handsome fella was surrendered to a local animal control due to a change in housing situation for his owner. We suspect he would do well in just about any low-key home.

He’s freshly neutered, and ready to get out of the kennels and into a home setting.
Send us a message if you’re interests in fostering this fella!

**Foster found, thanks Anna!**

Meet Beaver! This adorable 4 week old chocolate Labrador puppy is looking for his next foster home now that he’s weaned. This cleft-palate-cutie gets his name from his plush, dense coat, and from the cute noises he makes.
Beaver is currently being hand fed “puppy Jello” 3x a day. Another week or two and he should be fully transitioned to puppy kibble.

If you’re interested in learning about cleft puppy care, and would like THE CUTEST fuzzy foster puppy for a few weeks, send us a message!
