UPDATE - 27 APRIL 2022: Cute little Chablis is now in a foster home. Here is an initial report from the foster family (and a cute video, Chablis getting ready for bed) :
Dear Chablis enjoys living in a house very much. She treats all the sofas like her personal trampolines, arranging pillows for maximum bounce. Chablis loves to give kisses and adores attention from people and other dogs. Chablis would probably not flourish in an apartment unless your neighbors are diehard Minnie Ripperton fans (i.e., she can be loud!). She is working on her potty training, and will do her business while on the leash but prefers to go out in the backyard. She walks very good on the leash but she has a lot of energy, no Pokey little puppy she! Playing is high on her list of fun things to do. At the same time, she enjoys cuddling. Chablis has the sweetest little puppy girl face and manner.
UPDATE - 19 APRIL 2022: Chablis is now fully vetted and available for fostering or adoption. She can be a little dominant with some dogs (little girl with a big attitude), but she does well with most dogs.
NEW - 15 APRIL 2022: Chablis came in with Martini. She is a little beagle girl who is super sweet, social, playful and good with other dogs. She was a stray at the Louisa County Animal Shelter in Virginia, so her history is unknown. She will be available soon.
Questions?
Q: Can you tell me more about a specific dog? Is s/he good with kids / housetrained / good with cats/ etc?
A: What we know is in the write up. Our knowledge about any dog that is not in a foster homes is limited. Once approved, our adoption coordinators will work with you to match you with the right dog.
Q: Can I meet a specific dog?
A: We’re sorry, but you must be an approved adopter to meet our dogs. Pre-pandemic, dogs could be met at adoption days, but you still had to be approved to adopt from an adoption day.
Q: How can I adopt a specific dog?
A: You must submit an adoption application and be approved to adopt. You can do that under Adopt – you can also learn about the adoption process there.. It will take about two weeks for an adoption coordinator to get in touch with you. Please keep in mind that dogs that are available now may be adopted in the meantime. But we are always getting new dogs. You can see them on our website.
Q: Can I add another dog to the list on my application?
A: We don’t hold you to the dogs you listed on your application. It gives us an idea of what you are looking for. Plus it will let us know if someone is interested in one of our special needs / hard to place dogs.
Q: I indicated that I was interested in a specific dog on my application, but I see that s/he has been adopted. What happened?
A: We do not hold dogs. Applicants in the queue before you are being approved and may adopt the dog you are interested in before you are approved. But we are always getting new dogs in and your adoption coordinator will help you find the perfect match.
