UPDATE - 22 NOVEMBER 2023: Crissy is a very sweet and loving girl. She just had a full dental and has nice fresh breath! Still no potty accidents, still getting along great with the resident pups, kitty, and a new second foster (Aaliyah). She loves to cuddle with them. Crissy likes all the big and little people and animals that she meets on walks. She enjoys the dog park and any outside activities. This adventurous girl loves stimulation and walks/hikes. When under stimulated she likes to move toys and small items around the home or take them outside. Not a fan of noisy toys though, she will leave the room when one makes noise. She would be perfect for an active home with plenty of cuddles.
UPDATE - 19 OCTOBER 2023 (first impressions from foster family): Crissy is getting along great with everyone, pups and a kitty. No potty accidents. It took her about 5 seconds to figure out the doggy door and the ramp to the couch. Today she actually tried one of the doggy beds, rather than sticking to the couch. She has taken to our feeding and walking schedule. She really is a great pup.
UPDATE - 14 OCTOBER 2023: Good news - Crissy is now in a foster home where we can learn more about this sweet older girl! More soon!
UPDATE - 20 JULY 2023: Crissy is now fully vetted and available for fostering or adoption.
NEW - 8 JULY 2023: Crissy is a sweet beagle girl who is friendly 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.
