Meet Pooka
Status: Fostered Estimated Age: 4-5 Years Estimated Weight: 15 Pounds NOTE: Would do best with another dog for companionship. UPDATE - 15 MARCH 2023: In the nearly two months with us, Pooka has really blossomed! She started out shy & timid and attached to her kennel mate, Emilia (we just had to take the pair together!). After three weeks, Emilia was adopted and Pooka attached herself to our family dogs. She loves our walks, loves to play with squeaky toys, is house trained, and not aggressive at all! She has become a really nice snuggler, with dogs and humans! She wants to meet everyone she sees on our walks and is always happy to welcome us back home. She seems happiest with canine companionship, and has been a kind of nurse maid when one of our dogs was feeling sick recently. She’s a happy little girl and would love a family and a companion to bond with. UPDATE - 14 JANUARY 2023: Tiny Pooka joined us at our Adoption Day today and found herself a foster home! She was timid at the event and seemed to like sitting quietly in someone's lap or hanging out with her buddy from the kennels, Emilia. We will be hearing more about Pooka as she settles into her new foster home. UPDATE - 5 JANUARY 2023: Little Pooka is now fully vetted and available for fostering or adoption. NEW - 12 DECEMBER 2022: Pooka is an adorable little beagle girl who is super friendly and good with other dogs. Her coat is in rough condition, but we are treating her and should see improvement soon. Pooka 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.
