Recommended Environment: Danny is ready for some adventures with his person. He likes meeting new people and making new dog friends. He likes having his person around and is always ready to play or snuggle. Danny is working on his leash training. We recommend that his new family continue with his training by attending obedience classes. Danny plays a little rough so if there is a dog in the home, it needs to be willing to accept his play style.
Additional Information: Danny is the perfect dog. He is so sweet and loving and is a wonderful companion. He likes to get on his hind legs and put his arms around you for hugs; kisses are included. He is a smart dog and is learning his commands.

ADOPT received an update from Barkey’s new mom. We think he’s settled in quite nicely in his new home! 😉
ADOPT received an update from Charlie’s (formerly Otis) family. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did! 🙂
He sure is a member of the family! Charles in Charge! He still has a few leftover quirks but he’s slowly working through them and we are always ready for catering to him. He’s going on vacation to SC next month with us and will be a beach bum for a few days! He’s doing great and we love him to pieces.
Breed: Lab/Hound Mix — Ned’s previous owner did DNA testing and found he’s 39% Labrador Retriever, 12% Treeing Walker Coonhound, 10% Bluetick Coonhound, 7% Redbone Coonhound, 7% American English Coonhound, 6% Plott Hound, 4% Beagle, 2% American Foxhound, 2% Finnish Hound, 1% Flat-coated Retriever, 5% Australian Cattle Dog, 3% American Pit Bull Terrier, 2% Chihuahua. Whatever the mix is, he sure is a good-looking dog!
Sex: Male, neutered
Estimated Birth Date: 10/1/2018
Size: 56 pounds
Good with Kids: Yes
Good With Cats: No
Good With Dogs: Yes
Housetrained: Yes
Crate Trained: Yes
Recommended Environment: Ned needs to be in a home with a patient family that does not leave him alone for long periods of time. Ned will bark when left alone so we do not recommend he go to an apartment. He enjoys going on car rides and is ready to go exploring.
Additional Information: Ned was surrendered to us because his family felt they didn’t have enough time for him. He developed separation anxiety after a recent move and with three very young children the family felt overwhelmed. We feel with time, patience, and a stable environment his anxiety will abate. He is a loving and smart dog that knows his Sit, Down, Off, Shake, High Five, and Wait commands.

Breed (best guess): Coonhound Mix
Sex: Male, neutered
Estimated Birth Date: 10/25/2021
Size: 44 pounds and he could stand to put on a pound or two
Good With Kids: Unknown but we think he will be fine with older children
Good With Cats: No
Good With Dogs: Yes
Housetrained: Yes
Crate Trained: Yes
Recommended Environment: Ruben is a typical hound; he loves to follow his nose! His family is going to need to take him on walks and hikes and patiently wait while he smells everything. We are not requiring a fenced in yard, but he would love to have one to spend time in. He is a smart dog and will benefit from obedience training. He is good on a leash and is learning his commands. Ruben needs to be in a home with another dog. He will bark in his crate when left alone so we don’t feel that he will do well in an apartment.
Additional Information: Ruben and his mom Belle were found as strays in rural West Virginia. He is a very sweet and snuggly boy. The pictures don’t do him justice; he is a handsome dog. Ruben is a little anxious due to all the changes in his life. We know he will come out of his shell once he is in his forever home and is given a chance to blossom into the wonderful dog that he is.

Breed: Pomeranian Mix (per the DNA test performed by his previous owner, he is 77% Pomeranian, 12% Yorkshire Terrier, 6% Poodle (Toy and Miniature), 3% Toy Fox Terrier, and 2% American Eskimo Dog)
Sex: Male, Neutered
Estimated Birth Date: 6/5/2021
Size: small (currently 14 pounds)
Good With Kids: Over the age of 10
Good With Cats: Unknown
Good With Dogs: Yes
Housetrained: Almost, but his handler takes him out 6-8 times a day
Crate Trained: Yes
Recommended Environment: Bob is a very energetic boy. He enjoys going for walks and playing with his toys. He loves meeting new people. Despite his energy, he is also a great snuggler! He needs someone with plenty of time to devote to playing and exercising him.
Additional Information: Bob has been to four homes and keeps getting returned to the shelter. We are going to make sure that his next home is his last home. The reason for each of the returns is that his family doesn’t have time for him and his energy level. He is intelligent and willful and will greatly benefit from time with a trainer and obedience classes. His new family must be patient and committed to exercising him throughout the day. Bob tends to nip when he gets excited; he doesn’t mean to hurt anyone, he just can’t contain himself. His handler is working on this but his new family needs to be aware of it. This is why we are recommending older children.

Breed (best guess): Wire Haired Jack Russell Terrier mix
Sex: Male, neutered
Estimated Birthdate: 9/25/2020
Size: 18 pounds
Good With Kids: unknown

Good With Dogs: Yes
Housetrained: Yes
Crate Trained: Yes
Recommended Environment: Rascal needs to be in a home with a patient, loving family. We’re not sure about his past but whatever happened to him has resulted in some anxiety. He needs to learn that his family won’t abandon him and will love him forever. He would probably be best as the only dog in the home. His handler says Rascal is a very sensitive dog that listens well and loves people, particularly older people. He might even make a good therapy dog for a person that is willing to take him to training.
Additional Information: Rascal was found as a stray and brought to us by a good samaritan. He is working on his commands and knows Sit, Stay, Leave It and Come. He is working on the Down command. He is good on a leash and doesn’t seem to be destructive when left out.

Breed (best guess): Alaska Border Collie
Breed Information: Border Collies are very intelligent and energetic. They are high drive and require daily exercise beyond a quick walk.
Sex: Male, neutered
Estimated Birth Date: June 1, 2022
Size: currently 23 pounds but he’s still growing. We estimate he’ll be under 50 pounds when full grown
Good With Kids: Yes, older children will be better since he is a herding breed
Good With Cats: Yes but he will chase them (again, he’s a herder)
Good With Dogs: Yes
Housetrained: In progress
Crate Trained: Yes
Recommended Environment: Jax requires an active family that will provide him with a fair amount of regular exercise and mental stimulation. We require an experienced dog owner for him, preferably someone familiar with Border Collies or Cattle Dogs. He will greatly benefit from obedience classes. Since he is a puppy and is still working on his house training, we prefer a home where he is not left alone for long periods of time.
Additional Information: Jax was surrendered to us through no fault of his own. His family didn’t have time for him. Since he is a working dog, he has a lot of energy and needs plenty of activity. He has some mild separation anxiety and will bark when left alone. He has experienced a lot of change in the last month and will relax once he is in his forever loving home. He is a smart dog and is learning sit and down commands and how to walk on a leash.
