About Me
Davis – Adopted September 2022
Meet Davis
Status: Fostered
Estimated Age: 1-2 Years
Estimated Weights: 18 Pounds
NOTE: Shy - needs quiet home without young children.
UPDATE - 9 JUNE 2022 (from foster mom): The first 2 weeks for the little guy were pretty rough, but we have made some really great headway in the last week or so. Originally Davis was terrified to leave the corner of the mud room and gradually claimed it as his space. He now has 3 full spaces (mud room, my office, my master bathroom) where he feels relaxed and comfortable, and he will walk between the 2 on the first floor if we coax him. He also will now run out and circle the kitchen - he is interested in new things but super cautious. And last night was his first night in the crate in our bedroom - it took a bit to settle down due to the new scenery, but he slept all night, so I am hoping that is our next victory.
Davis has also made great strides on walking on the leash. At first he was afraid of doors, steps, leash and was too afraid to move when I carried him out and placed him outside; he would just stare at the ground. In the last week, and especially the last couple days, he is now walking on the leash albeit cautiously but walking and wagging his tail in spurts. He is also starting to learn that outside is a great place to potty.
All in all we have turned a big corner, and I am very happy for the little guy - it is great to see him starting to relax and really enjoy the company of my other dogs.
UPDATE - 14 MAY 2022: Good news! Davis is now in a foster home, so stay tuned as we see how this shy guy adjusts to living in a house.
NEW - 20 MARCH 2022: Davis is smaller beagle boy who is a little on the shy side, although he seems to be making progress now that he is settling down at our kennels. He was an owner surrender to the Tappahannock/Essex County Animal Shelter in Virginia, but no other information was provided. Davis is fully vetted and available for fostering before being adopted.
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.
