AugustaDog Adoptions

AugustaDog Adoptions We are a 501c3, foster based, rescue group that takes in and adopts out dogs from high-kill pounds t Augusta Dog Adoptions does not have a physical shelter.
(129)

Augusta Dog Adoptions (formerly Chains Hurt) was formed in 2006. We are an all volunteer, 501c3 rescue group that takes in and adopts out dogs that are transferred to our organization from local shelters and high-kill pounds throughout Virginia. Dogs are β€œfostered” by volunteers at their personal residences until an adoption match is made. We provide rehabilitation and veterinary care to all dogs

in our foster program prior to adoption. Augusta Dog Adoptions works closely with the Shenandoah Valley Animal Services Center, which gives us the opportunity to see firsthand where our services are most needed.

FREE LOVE!!! The SUMMER OF LOVE adoption special ends soon!

Choose any of our awesome adult dogs (new arrivals excluded) and we will WAIVE their adoption fee once your application is approved! Why do we have so many great dogs, you ask? Well, we are in the midst of a NATIONWIDE OVERPOPULATION CRISIS! Shelters are full. Rescues are full and dog euthanasia in Va rose 89% from 2020-2023! We've got lives to save!

We still have to pay the vet bills but good homes are more important than money right now! Waiving the adoption fee means you have more money to spoil your newly adopted dog!

It's the SUMMER OF LOVE and we have plenty to love! Choose a fully vetted, FREE ADULT dog to love and head out for adventure... or stay home and watch tv! We have a dog that will be lucky to have you no matter what you do. And you can take pride in knowing that you SAVED A LIFE!

(Young Puppies and new arrivals EXCLUDED. We want to encourage you to look at some of the dogs who have been waiting for you the longest! Pictured are the adult dogs with WAIVED ADOPTION fees who will be at Petsmart tomorrow! They are Harry, Tywin, Winston, Bridgette, Sweet Bell Petter, Levi, Jalepeno, Milford and Noah!

Today, we honor the life of Chris Fountain who passed on Sunday.

Chris was a long time supporter of Augusta Dog Adoptions. He was an adopter, a foster, a friend and a neighbor. In the early days, he let us put our chaining petition and donation jar in Luigi's. He was excited by our work and was always asking what he could do to help. After the passing of his beloved labs, he adopted the worst dog we had at the time, Rusty Henry Hammer Fountain. Rusty and Chris roamed Sears Hill (often with a cat in tow) until Rusty passed of old age. After Rusty, Chris adopted his precious Ginger from us and later fostered two senior dogs, Jane and Annie.

Chris was kind and easy going. When house sitting for us, he was the first person that Rose Bull Hammer bit when she was just a puppy and he took in the stride, saying..."It wasn't her fault. She must be scared of strangers."

Chris was a true gift to us and the animals that he helped us save and we are going to miss him!

Farewell and Well Done, Friend. Thank you.

PUPPIES FOR ADOPTION!

Meet the D Litter! These little cuties came to us from a rural shelter with more dogs than adopters. They are now about 12 weeks old and are ready to embark on their journey of finding furEVER families! They have been raised in a positive, loving foster home where they have been well socialized with other dogs and people. They are crate trained, use a doggie door and are well on their way to being house trained. We do not know exactly what breed they are or what size they will grow to be (we did not see either of their parents.) We do know that they are 100 percent loveable and sure to bring joy to your family for many years to come!

NEW LISTING!
READY FOR ADOPTION!

Jalepeno is a mixed breed dog who is about 8-9 months old. He only weighs about 25 pounds so we foresee him being a medium sized dog. Jalepeno and his siblings were in rough shape with they came into our local shelter. They were very dirty and skinny and were not well taken care of. With healthy meals, vet care and lots of love, they have thrived in their foster home and are now ready to be adopted. Jalepeno is affectionate, loves attention and is eager to please. He just wants a family to call his own!

We SHOULD NOT let Amy write the bios anymore! ...
or SHOULD WE?!!
Vote now!

Angus is a 1-2 years YOUNG australian shepherd mix who came to us from a shelter with more dogs than adopters. Like his namesake, Angus is petite, good natured, full of energy and ready to rock! You'll be "Thunder Struck" by his good looks and his coat is "Back in Black" But his personalily is equally charming. He's good with dogs and kids and sure knows how to put on a show! Angus loves to ride in cars so put on the soundtrack for Maximum OverDrive and jam out to some "Who Made Who" with this rockstar as your shot gun! And for "Those About to Adopt Rock (And Adopt!) ...We Salute You!"

Happy Monday, Fam!

Here's some good news to keep you going through the week......

- Eddard was officially adopted by his foster parents! Eddard came to us last year from our local shelter and he was in AWFUL shape! A ton of vet care and love was put into saving Eddard. His foster parents nurtured him back to health but still....he was not adopted. That's just fine with us because he will be staying with the family that truly loves him! Congrats, Eddard!

-Wayne has been in his foster to adopt home for almost two weeks! Wayne also spend well over a year in his foster home but recently got the boot for being mean to sweet Harry Neil. Wayne moved in with an amazing family who loves older hounds. They report that...."he is going better and we think he is happy." We know he is and he better not blow this!

-Fearful Harbor from Patrick County Public Animal Shelter was adopted after months in our program!

-Happy Kenny from Russell County Animal Shelter was chosen by a super family who has adopted from us at least twice before. They are our kind of people!

-Hound puppy Glacier was adopted adopted from a family whose other hound was adopted from us as a puppy!

As always, these happy endings are made possible by our fosters, donors, adopters and team. We are thankful for every single one of you and our dogs are too!

Onward!

AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION!

Simone is a black and tan coonhound who is around 10 years old and weighs around 60 pounds. Simone is a very special girl to us as she first came to us many years ago with a a mangled front let that had to be removed. She has been adopted a couple of times and returned a couple of times. We know that this time, we are going to help her find the perfect forEVER home!

Simone is loyal and devoted to the people she loves. She wants to be with her family and is sad if she is separated or not included. She likes to follow you around and sleep in the same room as her humans. She is house trained and crate trained and has wonderful indoor manners. She has lived with cats in two other homes. She lives with a lot of dogs in her current foster home. She gets along with them well and enjoys their company, entertainment and antics. She's also good onleash and riding in the car.

Simone is looking for an adopter who is devoted to her and adores her as we do! You may be thinking she was been returned because there is something wrong with her. No. She's has been returned through no fault of her own and that makes us even more determined to find her someone who truly appreciates her beauty and strength.

Simone's adoption fee is WAIVED until the end of August!
