Meet The Gum Litter !!

**Looking for SEPARATE homes**
We recently took in this sweet litter and their mom from a local shelter. They are looking for indoor family homes. Their mom (Big Red) will have a separate post once she’s recovered from being a momma.

They are almost 7 weeks old. They will not be available to move to new homes until they are 8 weeks old.

They are Hound mix puppies and should be medium size when full grown. Their mom is about 40 pounds at full weight and dad is unknown. They favor beagles but may grow larger than that.

Puppies have been given several sets of vaccines, dewormed, a microchip and spayed/neutered.

The Puppies:
(Photos are labeled with names)

JUICY FRUIT- Female- 4 Pounds- The straggler of the group. Last to do everything.

HUBBA BUBBA - Female- 4 pounds – Fairly mellow, likes to be held

CHICLET - Female- 4.2 pounds – The explorer, always whining to get on the go

ORBIT - Male - 4.2 Pounds- Chill guy with old soul vibes

TRIDENT - Male - 3.2 Pounds- Does his own thing, quieter than the rest.

STRIDE- Male - 4 pounds- Chill guy but loves to howl and talk

BAZOOKA - Male- 4.2 pounds- Mr. Fearless, does everything first, howling, walking, climbing out of the pen etc lol.

*** They are still very young and their personalities are likely to change as they develop.***

All the puppies love other dogs and love kids. They have not met any cats yet but are young enough to learn. They are still babies and are not potty trained or leash trained. They have started crate training and do very well HOWEVER they are currently in the crate with their siblings, and it’s very likely that there will be some sleepless nights in your home with crate training once they are separated. They have not had any trouble sharing food treats and toys.

*** These are NOT APARTMENT DOGS. Beagles/Hounds are very vocal dogs, it is just what they do. They bark and howl and make all the hound noises.They started howling at only 4 weeks old. We do not want a dog or family losing their home over the noise.***

These puppies are currently active, happy, and playful. They have been raised inside and handled often since a very young age. They are very friendly and social. They are also smart and active. They love to explore and play. They are active and will need lots of physical and mental stimulation to keep them happy and out of trouble.

Hounds make amazing family pets. They are generally friendly and social. They do have a tendency to escape yards when bored. It is recommended to not leave them outside alone. They were bred to be hunting dogs and may take off over or under a fence to chase a woodland creature around.

Adopting a young puppy is a ton of work. They will have lots of potty accidents, chew things up etc. You will need to help them learn things like leash walking, crate training and basic manners. It can be a lot of work but the reward is a dog that fits well into your family’s lifestyle if you invest proper time on training with them. Please carefully consider the time and effort a puppy requires before adopting.

We do NOT adopt siblings into the same family. Before commenting on how sad etc, you feel that is please google “littermate syndrome” so you can understand why we take this precaution. It is done in the best interest of the puppies.

Vet and home checks required.

**No apartments due to how vocal they are.

Located in Hampton VA.
(They will need to be adopted within a 1 hour drive radius)

Meet Wyndell !!

Super playful fun loving little guy. Loves another dog to play. Super cute little man. Very active and keeps you smiling.

Wyndell is an approx 3 year old Chihuahua mix. He currently weights 12 pounds and is full grown. He will be neutered, microchipped and up to date on his vaccines as part of his adoption. He is heartworm negative.

He LOVES dogs of all sizes and loves to play. He would love another playful dog in the house to run with. He’s very energetic and spunky. He’s never been with cats so we are unsure how he would do. He does well with kids but they need to be old enough to give him space if he is scared and not treat him like a toy. He can be nippy when afraid which is typical of the breed. He is less scared of kids than adults though and has done well with them overall.

Wyndell is crate trained but can be very vocal at times while inside the crate. He walks fairly well on a leash. He has done great on all the car rides he has been on. He’s a smart little guy and has already learned to sit. He is mostly potty trained and does very well with going outside to potty.

Wyndell LOVES TO PLAY. He loves playing with people, other dogs, toys, all of it. He’s a high energy little dog. He’s very spunky and full of life. He would do best with a fenced yard to run off all that energy. He does need a family that understands he’s not the lapdog but the pint size fun playmate. With that said, when he’s gotten all of that energy out each day he becomes cuddly.

He has had no trouble sharing food, treats or toys with other dogs or humans. He does hide his food and eats later when he feels safe.

If you’re looking for a fun adventurous guy in a small package he may be the one. Please understand the breed and that they can nip or bite when they are afraid. This mostly occurs when being cornered or reached for. Until he trusts you he will need you to go slow and give him space when he’s afraid. If you can do that for him you’ll have a fun, loyal and loving companion.

SWEET GIRL STILL AVAILABLE ⚠️

12/12/2024

Meet Zero!!

I don’t know what it is about this guy but he’s very special. Everyone that meets him just falls in love with him. He’s a big baby with a crappy past and all he wants is to be loved on.

Zero was initially seized by animal control. He lived outside and when they found him he was starved, chained outside and had infected cuts on his legs. Thankfully he was saved in time. He healed up nicely and gained his weight back. He quickly went to a great home but sadly has been returned to us.

This guy is really a big loving scaredy cat of a dog. He is super outgoing with other dogs and people but also gets afraid of walking through doors at the pet store. He also doesn’t like to be alone. Really just an oversized sweet baby.

He is an approx 3 year old, male Pitbull/ Staffy type mix. He weighs 66 pounds and is full grown. He is neutered, up to date on vaccines and microchipped. He is thankfully heartworm negative.

Zero was very loved by his adoptive family. He was only returned due to accidentally hurting their cats. We want to be clear that he is not at all aggressive to cats or other animals. The cats got hurt on three separate occasions just due to his size and weight. Due to this we want him to go to a home with out cats or tiny dogs just so he does not accidentally hurt a smaller animal.

He loves all people and does great meeting everyone. He’s very much an overgrown puppy. Super sweet, goofy and loving. He’s done well with all the dogs he’s met so far. Other dogs sometimes get annoyed with his hyper play so a tolerant playmate would be best. He loves everyone including kids however he is big strong and playful. He may accidentally knock over small kids but he does not have any aggressions towards them.

Zero is partially crate trained. He will stay in but can be vocal in protest. He doesn’t have to be crated as he’s not been destructive but he has been crated during the work day in hopes to get him more comfortable with it. He will willingly go in the crate when asked he just gets loud once he realizes he will be staying in it.

He pulls a lot still when walked on the leash. He doesn’t get sick on car rides but can be very anxious about them. He is always happy to get where he is going but not sure about the trip lol. He is potty trained with a doggie door. He does get very anxious when moved to a new place and did have several potty accidents while adjusting to his foster home. It seems to be anxiety related and once settled he does very well.

Zero LOVES to play fetch. He is obsessed with his ball. He will do it for hours. He will bring it right to you and drop it in your lap or at your feet. He would be so happy to have someone wanting a dog to play endless games of fetch with them.

He has a moderate energy level. He loves to go outside with you, play with other dogs but mostly wants to lay around with you and be loved on. He’s such a sweet soul. He soaks up any affection he can get from people. He does get very hyper when you first get home or let him out of the crate. Once he gets some of that excited energy out he is much calmer and laid back.

Zero has shown no food aggression with people but needs to eat separate from other dogs. He came to us starved and sometimes that leads to being protective over food. He does not do it with people at all. He is happy to eat in his crate or in another room if you have other pets.

There are thousands of blue pitbull types out there looking for homes but this guy has something special. Its hard to explain but when you meet him you’ll feel it to. He is still a little rough around the edges with training but the person willing to put in the work with him is going to end up with the most loyal and steadfast companion you could ever ask for.

Meet Dainty !!

This sweet beautiful lady is used to being loved and spoiled. She’s ready to find a new family that can give her the best life.

Dainty is a 2 year old, female, Pomeranian. She weighs 10 pounds and is full grown. She is already spayed and up to date on vaccines. She is also microchipped and Heartworm negative. She is on preventions.

She is super shy at first but opens up into a loving, fun and playful girl. It takes her a few days of being very reserved before she opens up. She’s cuddly and loving but also has an active side.

Dainty has done great with smaller dogs. She has been a bit more afraid of the larger ones. She has never been around cats so we are unsure how she would do. We do know that she is very uncomfortable around smaller children. She should go to a home with older kids that are calm in nature and respectful with her

She is great about crate training and uses it as a safe space to retreat to. She is not very comfortable on the leash but has used one before. She is great on car rides. She is somewhat potty trained. For the first few days where she is super shy she does not do well with it. After that she does better but still has accidents. She will go outside and will also use puppy pads. She does need to be let out frequently to have any chance at successful potty training.

Dainty loves to cuddle but also has a spunky side once she is comfortable. She will need someone willing to play with her but her exercise needs are not excessive. She has both the playful side and the cuddly lap dog side.

She has not shown any aggression over treats, food or toys with people or dogs.

If you’re looking for a sweet girl with lots of cuddles mixed with playtime then she may be the one. She would do best with a fenced yard and someone home often to help with her potty training.

📌📌She will need to be brushed regularly so she does not become matted.

Vet and home checks required.
No small children

Meet Tony Tony !!

This tiny little fluff ball is super sweet. Happy to hang around with you and cuddle. Very nice little guy

Tony Tony is a 7 year-old Pomeranian. He currently weighs 10 pounds and is full grown. He will be neutered, microchipped and up to date on his vaccines as part of his adoption. He is heartworm negative and on preventions.

This guy is so sweet. He can be a little shy and nervous at first but then once comfortable he loves affection. He enjoys a nice lap to sleep on and someone to cuddle with.

Tony Tony lived with a bigger dog before and has no problem around other dogs. He is fine around them but isn’t big into playing with them at all. He could go to a home with or without dogs and be fine. We have not had him around cats so we are unsure how he would do. He isn’t much bigger than a cat so they may be fine together. He has been great with older kids. He would likely do well with any kids that are old enough to not treat him like a toy and be old enough to give him space and time to adjust to a new place.

He is crate trained and will sometimes go inside on his own during the day to nap. He walks fairly well on a leash. He has done great on all the car rides he has been on. He is mostly potty trained aside from marking his territory inside. His upcoming neuter will hopefully help with that. He does best when taken straight outside to mark all over the yard before coming inside. He has used puppy pads indoors as well.

Tony Tony so far has not been as vocal as a typical Pom. He will bark when other dogs are barking or if he hears something but so far it has not been excessive. He has an overall low energy level. Mostly he wants to relax and cuddle. He can have little bursts of energy but overall he is very easy to manage. He has great recall when out in the yard and will come bouncing back to you when asked.

He’s had no trouble sharing food, treats or toys with other dogs or humans. He listens fairly well and is learning more and more each day. He is not very treat motivated but is very motivated by toys and positive attention. All he wants in the world seems to be his people’s attention and affection. He has a low to medium energy level so far. He is very laid back and wants to lounge around with you or follow you wherever you go.

If you’re looking for a low key, well behaved guy then Tony Tony may be the one.

He will need to be brushed regularly so he does not get matted.

Meet Fredricks !!

This guy is a total ham. He is adorable and super fun loving. A really good boy. We cant figure out why someone would neglect and dump such a wonderful little guy.

He came to us from the shelter where he was so matted,he couldn’t be touched without nipping at people due to the pain the mats in his fur were causing him. We had him immediately groomed and not only does he look like a proper gentleman now, he feels so so so much better!!

Fredericks is said to be an approx. 8-year-old Shih Tzu mix. He acts like he is way younger and is a fun spunky guy. He currently weighs 11 pounds and is full grown. He will be neutered, microchipped and up to date on his vaccines as part of his adoption. He is heartworm negative.

This boy is always jumping up on your leg to get some attention. He follows you everywhere and is such a joyful little guy. He likes to be carried around and do anything you are doing. He has no problem barking at “intruders” coming into the home and giving a valiant home defense effort from the safety of the couch. LOL.

Fredricks has been good with dogs of all sizes. He will get growly with them if they are too much for him but he has a good patience level prior to that. He has not met any cats so we are not sure how he would do. He is not much bigger than a cat so they may do okay.

He is not fostered with any kids but did really love the 8 year old he hung out with after his grooming appointment. With that said he does have an issue with nipping if someone tries to grab his legs. He has been a bit off and on with this and it may be residual effect of his pain from the matting he had. He would need to be around older children that understand fully not to mess with his legs at all. He so far has not had any issues with being picked up or held it seems to solely be the intentional reach or grab of a leg.

Fredrick is crate trained but can be vocal at times while inside the crate. He really likes to be with his people and will protest if he can see you while he is in there. He walks fairly well on a leash. He can pull a bit when excited but nothing too hard to manage. He has done fineon all the car rides he has been on. He doesn’t seem to really like them but just lays on the floorboard and does not get sick.

He is mostly potty trained. He does not have anyregular potty accidents inside however he does some leg lifting/marking inside still. He has an upcoming neuter which will hopefully resolve that. He has no problem wearing a belly band to help with that inside until he learns to stop doing it.

He’s had no trouble sharing food, treats or toys with humans. He’s been grumbly with other dogs trying to take his toys or approaching his food to quickly but so far it hasn’t escalated past that. He listens fairly well and is learning more and more each day. He is a dog that will get under your feet while following you around so if you are an unstable walker he may not be the best fit.

Overall Fredrick is a great little dog. He is both active and cuddly. A good mix of both. He is spunky and always ready to go where ever you want to go. He is glued to his people and wants to be involved in everything going on in the home. He will make someone a wonderful companion!

📌📌He will need regular grooming. This requires time to get him to and from the appointments and additional expenses to pay for it. On average a dog of this breed will need grooming every 6 weeks. This should be fully considered prior to applying to adopt him.

Meet Snicker Doodle !!

Small, playful and super sweet little guy is looking for great home. He is spunky and playful but also has a sweet and cuddly side. He has the cutest facial expressions and so much personality.

Snicker Doodle is a 9-month-old Shih Tzu mix. He currently weights 10 pounds and is close to full grown. He will be neutered, microchipped and up to date on his vaccines as part of his adoption. He is heartworm negative.

This sweet guy just loves everyone and everything. He is all about living his best life. He loves to play with any and all people and dogs. He starts play with the 100 pound great dane he lives with and also the senior Dachshund in the home. He even tries to play with the cats. He has an overall fun loving and happy personality.

Snicker Doodle loves dogs of all sizes and loves to play. He has also been good with cats. He is good with children also. Any kids in the home would need to respect him and not treat him like a toy. He will sometimes growl at other animals when they pass by him in the crate but once out of the crate it’s all happy playtime from him.

He is crate trained but can be vocal at times while inside the crate. He really likes to be with his people and will protest if he can see you while he is in there. He walks fairly well on a leash. He can pull a bit when excited but nothing too hard to manage. He has done great on all the car rides he has been on.

Snicker Doodle is mostly potty trained. When he goes outside he immediately goes potty and knows he is supposed to do it outside. He does not have any regular potty accidents however he does some leg lifting/marking inside still. He has an upcoming neuter which will hopefully resolve that. He has no problem wearing a belly band to help with that inside until he learns to stop doing it.

He’s had no trouble sharing food, treats or toys with other dogs or humans. He listens fairly well and is learning more and more each day.

Overall Snicker Doodle is a great little dog. He is both active and cuddly. A good mix of both. He will need playtime and exercise each day. He is glued to his people and wants to be involved in everything going on in the home. He will make someone a wonderful companion!

🐾PENDING ADOPTION 🐾

Meet Snowden !!

This guy is so sweet and well behaved. He is a great companion if you’re looking for a dog that is your shadow.

Snowden is a 5-year-old Shiba Inu mix. He currently weighs 23 pounds and is full grown. He is already neutered, microchipped and up to date on his vaccines. He is heartworm negative and on preventions.

This guy is so sweet. He loves affection. He will gently pull your hand back to him with his paw if you stop petting him. It is so adorable. He definitely cares more about people than other animals. He is all about his people and wants to be with you all the time.

Snowden came to us with a smaller dog but isn’t always sure of other dogs he doesn’t know. He is more comfortable with small dogs it seems. He really isn’t interested in playing with other dogs and seems to be somewhat afraid of them. If they run up on him or get in his face he reacts but if left alone he does not bother them. He has also been fostered with a cat. He mostly leaves the cat alone but will occasionally bark or growl at the cat. He really seems to like his own personal space when it comes to other animals in the house. A smaller, calmer dog that isn’t interested in playing would likely be a good candidate for him or a home without dogs would be fine as well.

He has not been fostered with children but he would not likely do well with younger kids. He would do best with respectful kids in a calmer household. He is super sweet and fun but isn’t a fan of a lot of chaos going on.

Snowden is crate trained and doesn’t try to escape but is very vocal at times while inside the crate. He really likes to be with his people and will protest if he can see you while he is in there. He walks fairly well on a leash. He can pull a bit when excited but nothing too hard to manage. He has done great on all the car rides he has been on. He will ride in a kennel or sit on a passenger’s lap and look out the window. He is fully potty trained and has had no accidents while in his foster home.

He’s had no trouble sharing food, treats or toys with other dogs or humans. He listens fairly well and is learning more and more each day. He is not very treat motivated but is very motivated by toys and positive attention. All he wants in the world seems to be his people’s attention and affection. He has a low to medium energy level so far. He is very laid back and wants to lounge around with you or follow you wherever you go.

Snowden listens well and aside from barking in the crate (and at things he hears while out of the crate) he is a really well-behaved guy. He loves toys, bones and chews of all kinds.

Meet Layla !!

This sweet easy going girl has had a rough life so far. She’s ready to share her love with someone who will treat her right and return that love.

She was almost starved to death and was still the sweetest girl. She wants to soak up all the love and attention she can get now that she’s safe.

Layla is an approx 1 year old female boxer/Pitbull Type mix. She weighs 51 pounds now and still needs to gain a few more pounds back.

She is already vaccinated, microchipped and spayed. She is heartworm negative and on monthly preventions.

**Waiting on better pics from her foster family but you can see how much better she’s looking already***

Layla has a fairly low energy level. She is content to lay around with a chew bone and just hang out with her people. She may become more energetic as she settles in but for now she’s very laid back.

She is the sweetest dog and absolutely loves human attention. She’s done really good with her basic training. She jumps up on you but not in a knock you over kind of way, more in a she wants a hug way.

She has done great with potty trained and hasn’t had any accidents while adjusting to her foster home. She does great on car rides. She is also crate trained. She does okay on a leash but still pulls a bit a times. She could use additional work on that.

Layla has a motherly instinct with other dogs and kids. When there’s rough play she initially tries to intervene and stop it. She does adjust to kids playing with a little time in her new home to understand everything. She’s fostered with several other dogs but would do best with calm dogs that aren’t overly hyper or rough house a lot. She would also be fine without other dogs. She’s done great with respectful kids that can give her some time to adjust. She has not met any cats so we aren’t sure how she would do.

She was starved almost to death and unfortunately now has trouble sharing food, bones, and toys with other dogs. She’s been fine sharing things with humans. We suspect she may have had to fight for what little food she could get. Her possessiveness over food items may fade or it may not. It’s best to feed her separately and give her bones etc in a separate space like her crate.

Overall this girl is a big sweet heart just looking for someone to love her as much as she loves them.

Vet and home checks required.

(She will need to be adopted within a 2 hour drive radius)
