Fetch!
Virginia Beach, VA: Meet Gunther! He is ready for his forever home. Gunny is not quite three yet, neutered, UTD on his wellness care, HW neg and on preventatives.
He is a very smart, playful, athletic, affectionate and handsome boy. He does suffer from EPI, which requires a special diet of kibble and enzymes, three times a day. He has been stable for awhile now and is right at 80 lbs.
Gunther loves walk. He is pretty good on leash and only pulls the first 20 seconds or so. He loves ball and kind of brings it back to you and kind of keeps it too-haha. He loves his nylon bones and stuffies. He will carry them through the house.
He is good with school-age children. He does get zoomies so I would not go any younger. His ideal would be a couple without kids so he can soak up all the attention for himself. He does thrive in a calmer home. He wants to be with his owner so I would recommend a household where someone is primarily home with him, either retired, working from home, a stay home family member or someone that takes Gunther with them throughout the day. He is not a bother as long as he can be close to you, so you can easily go about your day together. He is great waiting in the car.
Gunther is incredibly smart and know probably 20 words. He has lived in a foster home with a cat without any issues. He has lived with other dogs. We recommend only one other female dog that would be close to his age and maybe a little smaller would be his ideal. His adoption fee is $250. We require a completed app, home visit prior to adoption, agreement to keep him on any medication for his EPI and update of pics and/or videos a couple times a year for the remainder of his life.
Gunny’s EPI is under control and manageable. He is projected to live out a full dog’s life. This boy will print your heart with his large paw prints for a lifetime. You can’t help but love cuddly Gunther. Please PM me or email me at dwhitmore757 at gmail. if you’d like to arrange to meet him
Fostering a dog can come with many unexpected challenges - like introducing the dogs to stairs!
Cookie is a 1 year old spayed female mix who, her foster mom says, is the ultimate cuddle bug. She’s a couch potato and champion snuggler, but she can hang with your high energy household too.
She is great with kids AND dogs! She is smart (totally potty trained!), loving, and accepting of new people, places, and things.
After mastering those tricky stairs, she’s working on crate training right now, but she’s ready to show you how well she can walk on a leash.
Cookie is available for adoption through rescue, following a completed application and quick home visit.
——————————————————-
We are so grateful for our dedicated fosters who are committed to loving our dogs and preparing them for their forever homes.
If you’re interested in becoming a foster and giving a nurturing temporary home to dogs like Cookie, let us know!
Check out our featured dogs this week - The Fantastic Four!
Cookie: 1 year old spayed female pit/chocolate lab mix. Cookie is so friendly, sweet, and good with other dogs. She loves the dog park and going for long walks.
Gunther: 2 year old neutered male German Shepherd. Gunther is a very affectionate boy with great house manners, plus he walks well on a leash. He has some diet restrictions and tends to prefer female dogs, but might be a good fit with the right male dog.
Kingston: 4 year old neutered male black lab/pit mix. This boy is an ATHLETE. He is your running, hiking, beach buddy who will chase the ball for as long as you’re willing to throw it. Due to his ball obsession, King is looking for a home that has older children only and where he can be the only dog.
Thor: 6 year old neutered male black/white pit/lab mix. Thor is house trained and is comfortable existing alone in a house. Like Kingston, he loves his ball, going for car rides (shotgun, please!), and running off his zoomies in the yard. Despite the occasional stubborn streak, Thor is super cuddly and loyal to his person. Thor would like for his person to be an experienced owner and strong leader.
All of the “Fantastic Four” are HW negative and are up to date on all vaccines and preventatives. They are available for immediate placement in a foster or potential forever home!

In exchange for walks, toys, a comfy couch, and cheeseburgers, Thor wants to be YOUR best friend.
He’s a 6 year old neutered lab/pit mix and is UTD on all shots and preventatives.
His ideal foster-to-adopt home would have no children or other dogs. Thor needs a strong alpha in his life so he can relax and just be a dog enjoying his cheeseburgers 🍔
