Murphy is the friendliest, happiest little guy. He’s always excited to see you, greeting you with a constantly wagging tail. He’s pretty easygoing, great with dogs, cats and children, but he also lets you know when there is something he wants. For a senior, he still gets around pretty well. He can handle a few stairs (he’s better at going up than down) and he tuckers out quickly but he will get there if he wants to! He could stand to lose a few pounds but he’s working on that, already down a few! All he really wants to do is sit in your lap and snuggle as long as you keep up the ear scratches. He’d make a great companion for someone who is looking for a quiet, calm senior.

Hi! I’m Amber, and I’m as beautiful as my name! The amazing volunteers with A Forever-Home rescued me from a shelter in Louisiana after a nice person took me and my nine puppies out of a meth house where drug users were squatting in an abandoned house. Somebody was so horrible that they actually shot me in the leg and chest! Fortunately, my precious puppies (7 boys and 2 girls) and I were rescued just in time, and we have been very happy and comfortable in our foster family’s home. I was a great mommy, but my babies have all gone to live with their forever families, and now it’s my turn! I am a medium-sized girl and am a perfect fit for a family with kids, dogs and/or cats. I’m a bit of a couch potato and really love cuddling with my foster family and doggie pack, but taking walks in the woods with my foster dad is a big treat, too. Being a beautiful beagle mix, I thoroughly enjoy playing outside, lying in the sun and sniffing out critters. My leg is still healing, but I will take off running in the yard after a rabbit if I see it before it sees me! It would be wonderful if I was adopted by a family who is active and enjoys playing with me and giving me lots of attention; I promise I will never turn down a good belly rub! Another awesome thing about me is that I’m already housebroken and crate-trained. I love talking to people, so I’m always happy to have a chat with you! My foster mom calls me “lover girl”” and strongly encourages you to send your application to info@aforeverhome.org now so that you can virtually meet me.

Take a look at my YouTube videos so that you can really appreciate my silly and loving personality!

Hi my name is BB! I’m a petite Lab-Bully mix at around 40 pounds. I was rescued from Texas and I am looking for a wonderful family to adopt me. I’m sweet, playful and affectionate and a very good listener. I just love to be around people and I get attached quickly to my humans. I am crate trained, house-trained, respond when called, and I love to do zoomies! I am very cute, super sweet and I like to find a hiding spot to stash my new toys! I am gentle with people and enjoy playing with other dogs. I can be a little shy at first, but then I will warm up to you quickly and won’t want to leave your side!

BEING RETURNED: UPDATE TO FOLLOW.

The CVOC 7 are Hound/Boxer mix pups. One of our rescue partners in Louisiana got a call about 7 starved puppies from a concerned citizen. She kept them safe until our rescue partner picked them up. One of them had a backbone from some kind of rotten animal stuck in its mouth that they had to pull out – his mouth was bleeding. They were immediately taken to a vet because they were emaciated. They are safe, happy, and warm now with plenty to eat. One pup needed surgery and for an injury and is healing just fine.

I’m Daisy the smallest and sweetest of the D-pups. I’m also a wiggle-butt whenever I see my foster or anyone else who might pet me. I love to play with toys. I know you are thinking what puppy doesn’t like to play with toys, but when my siblings, start wrestling, I often would rather play with a toy. My favorite toys are the ones that make noise—squeak toys and crinkly toys are the best! If you want a companion, I promise I’ll always stay close to you and in the winter I’ll be your foot-warmer. I’m learning some basic commands like sit, down, and leave it, but sometimes I get so excited that I forget what I’m supposed to do. I am good at going to the bathroom outside and whine to let my foster know when it’s time.

Hey there, I’m Duke. As you can tell from my photo, I like to survey my neighborhood to make sure I know what’s going on. I’ll always find the highest place around to see what’s going on. The railing of the deck, the back of the couch, the top of the steps. I need to know. I’m very athletic and think I’ll make a great frisbee dog. I hope my forever family is active so I can see more of the world. I’m good at letting my foster know when it’s time to go outside and I’m learning other basic commands. I’m smart so I’m catching on quickly. I love being praised for doing what I’m told. If you pick me, I’ll be the best puppy I can be. p.s. I also make a great foot-warmer.

Our darling, smiling Daisy is now a senior. Her favorite activity, adoption day, was canceled for 2020. She was a socialite at adoption events. She is doing well in foster care. She likes most dogs and is ok around two of our dogs but does not tolerate being around our blue tick coonhound. Daisy is not the kind of dog who ever wanted to cuddle on the couch--she is content to be in the room sleeping on the floor or in a different room as long as she knows you are nearby. She has arthritic pain in her hind legs, but has medication. She has separation anxiety and would need a home where there are other dogs or humans at all times, but would do best with older children and adults.

These boys were found walking along a country road in Mississippi, and rescued by local animal control. Sadly, no one ever came looking for them. These two boys are adorable! When they came to us from a transport on July 17th they were terrified, and cowered on the tarmac with tails tucked between their legs. However, these sweet boys are now trusting pups who love affection and have lots of love to give. It took them about 48 hours to discover the joys of a safe place to sleep and a back yard to play in! Now, they happily race and wrestle with each other, chase after tennis balls and want nothing more than to be petted, held and loved. As big as these boys are, they really aspire to be large lap dogs! Ragu and Cisco are identified as Blue Heeler mixes. Ragu is the larger pup is bigger boned, and has a smooth, yellow coat with a hint of copper. He sucks you into his gaze with deep, soulful, brown eyes. Ragu doesn’t have as much of the Heeler look as Cisco and is a hearty eater. You may even want to call him a “Labra-heeler.” Cisco looks more like a Heeler (Google: Blue Heeler mix), is smaller, and has more of a coarse coat (it feels more like a German Shepherd-type coat). Cisco’s claim to fame is that he will actually bring a thrown ball back to you and place it in your hand (not bad for a pup)! Cisco would rather receive affection than eat his lunch. Both dogs are fully vaccinated but not yet old enough to be neutered. They are well on their way to being housebroken (about 90% there) and crate-trained (when they are indoors they are together in a crate/X-pen combo.) They are both very athletic so if you are an outdoor person, jogger, hiker, one of these boys might just be your perfect companion!

Little Emma June came to us from Louisiana, the only survivor amongst her siblings where she was found on a country road. She has a love-at-first-sight face and a distinctive, hourglass shaped dark stripe that runs from her shoulders to the tip of her tail. Though young, she is as sharp as a tack! Already she has made great progress in taking care of business outdoors, and is eager to learn the ‘sit’ command when there is a bit of a treat waiting as a reward. Emma June takes her naps and sleeps overnight in her crate and is getting used to being crated for short periods in the daytime to learn it is okay to be alone in a safe place. She taught herself how to climb stairs, and loves to run full out to fetch and carry a toy back for another toss! EJ is a very inquisitive, active girl who demands attention and requires stimulation with a variety of toys and experiences. A typical puppy with hound qualities, her nose never stops finding new scents, leading her into an ever expanding world of opportunities, and dare I say, mischief? The foster’s own hound has been very patient with this tyke, and will give her a quiet, guttural correction when the puppy tries to jump on her or nip her ankle, and EJ responds appropriately by walking away!  On-going skill training would be for everyone’s enjoyment and pride! Emma June’s bright future lies with that special person or family who wants to literally ‘hit the ground running’ with a happy girl who is ready to make you her own!

Muffi and Jericho are sweet playful pups who love running around the back yard and playing with other dogs. These adventurous puppies like exploring and crawling under beds, and love their chew toys and treats. They are great with other dogs - very friendly. Chester is good with people too. He would do well in a home with or without other dogs, but would surely benefit from socializing with other dogs on walks and at dog parks. Muffi is generally more shy around new people. She has made great strides since her first day here, when she would just hide in a corner from everyone. She takes time to warm up to new people, but earning her trust and making her feel comfortable is a great feeling. She now will even eat treats out of my hand, so she has come a long way with trusting people. She is a follower of the pack and would do well in a home with another dog or dogs. They have both done well in a puppy play pen setting and are also house trained.

This little girl will steal your heart in no time! She is super sweet, smart, spunky and her personality exceeds her small size. (We believe she was the runt in her litter) Her brindle coat is gorgeous. She loves to play with her toys and a good game of fetch. But at the end of the day, she wants nothing more than to snuggle and be loved by her human. She loves other dogs and does really well with children. She loves treats and will sit for them. She is crate trained, and is 90% potty trained!

The Madden puppies, Jay, Jerry, Marty, Ollie, and Rhett, all have the affectionate, cooperative nature you expect in dogs who have a lot of Labrador Retrievers among their ancestors. They also have enough spunk for any one of them to stand up to an older dog who is more than twice as big in a play fight. Someone abandoned these adorable puppies in a box by the road in Mississippi, but they were rescued quickly enough to protect them from any lingering effects of what could have been a traumatic situation. As you can see in their YouTube videos, the puppies are sure of themselves and eager to engage with people and with other dogs.

Hi my name is Maggie! I’m a Lab-Pit mix with big floppy ears and I’m very cute! I was rescued from Mississippi and I am looking for my forever home. My tail hardly ever stops wagging and looks like a helicopter tail when I am very happy. I love everyone! I’m very lovable, super friendly, and I get along really well with other dogs. I like to play, but I also like to relax. I am very easy going and I am not a high maintenance dog. I enjoy my walks with my humans. I am crate and house trained. I would make a great addition to your family if you want a fun, but also a mellow puppy!

My name is Maximus. I was found by the roadside in Texas; but my family never came to find me, so I came all the way to Virginia to find my new Forever Home and family! My foster mom was worried I wouldn't be good on a leash, but I am a very good boy, and I walk beautifully with Mom! I mostly stay by her side, and rarely pull on my leash (except for those pesky squirrels...). When I see other doggos out walking, I just stop to watch. I get along with my foster sister -- I never try to steal her food, even though I am twice her size (but if she leaves some behind, well, I am happy to be part of the cleanup crew!). I am crate trained and housebroken, and when Mom tells me to go to bed, I go without whining or complaining and sleep all night. I love to give kisses and get hugs and pats, and I am very gentle when I reach up to my humans (although Mom keeps telling me I need to improve my manners and stay on all four paws all the time. Humph!). My foster mom says I have a soft mouth -- I think that means I never bite and am gentle when she gives me treats (which I like a lot, so I am trying to learn new commands). We had two cats visit the house recently, and I did not chase them at all. I don't have any real experience with small humans yet, but my foster mom thinks since I am so gentle, I would probably do fine around them. I would love to be part of your family, no matter what size it is! I am a big lovebug and just want to be your best friend. Will you give me a chance?

They say dynamite comes in small packages, and that is Autumn. She is the smallest pup in her litter, but she packs the most punch. She is the most confident, and has become the leader of litter. She loves any toys or snacks she finds, and usually can be found running around teasing her siblings with them. The one thing Autumn loves more than a good chew toy, is her people. She wants to be cuddled and adored at all times, and will curl right up in your arms for snuggles. She gets along well with the other dogs in her foster home, but doesn't take any nonsense from them. She is working on potty training and crate training. If you are lucky enough to have Autumn as your companion, you will certainly be entertained and well loved.
