I’m asking on behalf of another rescue… Does anyone in my network have a potential foster or adopter that will work with special needs dogs? This retired working K9 is in need of a place to go where she can get medical work-ups and appropriate care. Message if you’re a home that would like to take this on, or if you have contacts for special needs foster homes.

Max Short Legs is looking for a home. He has never had a loving family and we feel it’s about damn time he does. Max was rescued from an abusive situation in Afghanistan by Kabul Small Animal Rescue. After coming to the USA, he has bounced around to several different rescue groups, but has yet to be adopted. KSAR felt he could benefit from some of the controlled socialization that we offer here, so he made his way to us in Virginia. Due to having poor vision, Max is a little nervous meeting new people. He just needs a few minutes to warm up. Once he loves you, then you’re golden. He will believe the sun rises and sets on you. Max is the same with other dogs. He is a little slow to warm up but has done ok with most of the dogs here. He’s also had the opportunity to hang out with our larger farm friends (horse, cow and goat varieties) and has simply ignored them. Please email us if you’re interested in giving Max his happily ever after. [email protected]. Or message this page.
Located in Nellysford, VA but can be transported to the right home.

PRM FAMILY WE NEED YOUR HELP‼️

Sadly this beautiful girl Bailey is looking for her happily ever after. She is just over a year old and about 50 lbs. Has lived with cats and good with dogs! She loves her people once she's comfortable. She has lived with young kids but they make her nervous. We feel she'd do best with older kiddos in the home.

If you have the room in your ❤️ and 🏡 for this stunning lady please email us at [email protected]. Located in Virginia but we can transport to the right home.

Took Joey to the park this week, and the smiles in the photos say it all. Joey is one of our long-time resident doggies. He loves car rides, cheese and mini-adventures. Joey had knee pain for years before he was rescued by Puppy Rescue Mission and got knee surgeries. Unfortunately the pain he felt for so long became a defensive habit where he’s protective of his personal space with other dogs and new people. Joey has been here for years and we love him, but we always hope that one day that special person will be out there who understands him, takes time to let him trust them, and can open their home to him. But if not, Joey always has a family here with us for life. ❤️

FOSTER OR ADOPT! This sweet beauty is staying with me for Puppy Rescue Mission. Bailey is just a year old, so she’s a fine mix of sugar and spice (and of course everything nice)! She’s sweet and cuddly but also active and silly. Bailey is doing well with leash manners and enjoys going places. She loves to run zoomies so a fenced yard would be preferred. Bailey has lived with babies and toddlers but the chaos of the children had her a bit on edge. She became quite anxious and withdrawn. She does do well with older kids, though. Bailey likes some dogs but needs slow intros. She can live with dog savvy cats. If Bailey is adopted locally, I’m happy to help the new owners with any training issues that may arise while she matures into her true self. Email [email protected] or apply to adopt at https://puppyrescuemission.org/adopt-from-us-1

Took Sal out to the big field for a frolic. Jose mowed a nice path around the field so I can walk with the dogs. They’re all loving it so much!
