UPDATE - 11 MAY 2023 (from new foster family): Bullet has been with us for a little over a month now and has quickly wormed his way into our hearts. He's a sweet, goofy, little man who loves to cuddle on the sofa and get belly rubs. He even knows how to sit! When our dog won't engage in play (which is rare), Bullet will toss his own toys in the air for fun. He also has beautiful eyes and the softest fur.
Bullet is great with other dogs and loves people of all ages. He is housebroken and is learning leash manners. He has a lovely beagle bray which he will use to alert you to squirrels and sometimes birds. Bullet would love a home with another dog but could do well on his own.
NEW - 25 FEBRUARY 2023: Bullet is a sweet low key boy who came from the Stafford County Animal Shelter in Virginia as a neglect case. He has now gained some weight, and his coat is soft and silky. He rides well in a car and is now settled in at his new foster home where he is getting along great with the resident dogs. Bullet is fully vetted and available for adoption.
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.
