![[Baby Girl]](/images/BabyGirl3.jpg)
Breed: Hound Mix
Age: 21 months
Gender: Female (Spayed)
My name is Baby Girl and I am new to the area. I came from the southern part of Virginia from a tough situation, but I know that is behind me now and I am really excited about what lies ahead for me. I came to live with my foster family mid-March and my puppies are all going home soon. As most of us moms out here know, I took really good care of my babies and they are off to live their lives, so now it’s me-time. My foster family has a fenced-in yard that is so fun to go bouncing and running through and when I’m done playing and being silly, I’m all about belly rubs, ear rubs, chest rubs, back rubs, you name it! I’m still a little shy around new people, and I’m working on being more comfortable around men (my foster-brother is a 15-year-old boy, and he’s not too bad and I think he’s really going to grow on me). I found out that I need to get some medicine to treat heartworms before I can be spayed, but my foster mom has already started the first phase of medicine. It’ll take a few months for me to get all better, but that doesn’t mean I don’t want to meet my future family while I’m healing and resting. "The best things are worth waiting for" is what my foster-mom says before she gives me a kiss.

Breed: Pit Bull Mix
Age: 5 months
Gender: Male (Neutered)
Anyone want to Play? Hi, I’m Bo and I am a sweet, friendly guy who was abandoned in the parking lot of a vet clinic in Mississippi. I love to play fetch and run around with my other dog pals. I’m crate trained, house broken and do terrific on a leash. I am very quick and learning commands like sit, leave it, and stay with my foster mom. My foster mom says I’m a cutie patootie and a real cuddle bug.

![[Daisy the Lab]](/images/Daisy6.jpg)
Breed: Labrador Retriever Mix
Age: 13 years
Gender: Female (Spayed)
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.
![[Dynamic Duo Dixie]](/images/DynamicDuoDixie3.jpg)
Breed: Hound Mix
Age: 3 months
Gender: Female
Dixie loves to play outside with sticks. She loves to run in the yard and is very fast! She also loves to roll around, roly poly style, and army crawl through the grass. She loves squeaky toys and belly rubs. She’s very eager to please and already learning to sit and to not jump up on people. She is highly trainable and very sweet. She does well in a crate and on a leash and is nearly fully house trained. Dixie climbs gates like a ladder, so containing her can be difficult. She is the alpha between her and her sister and loves to play hard.

Breed: Hound / American Pit Bull Terrier Mix
Age: 10 months
Gender: Female (Spayed)
Ellie is a sweet and loving dog. She loves people and company, and always wants to be near her humans. She walks with a little limp, but still loves being outside playing. One of her favorite games is fetch. She gets along with other dogs and follows our dog around everywhere. She is playful and goofy, not knowing her own size she often trips up or hits her head on things being a typical puppy. She is full grown and house-trained and crate-trained. She would be a great addition to you or your family.

![[Kandi]](/images/Kandi3.jpg)
Breed: Dachshund Mix
Age: 2 years
Gender: Female (Spayed)
Hi there! My name is Kandi, and I’m a silly pup. I am very wary of most things at first, but this usually means I’m in my playful mood since my favorite game is to be chased! They say I’m a hound mix or perhaps Dachsund. LOVE to talk; I even sing along when my foster sister practices her violin! Not everyone appreciates this, but I am a quick listener and just need some reminders when to use my inside voice. I can be suspicious of new people and bark at them, but once I know you just want to be my friend, you will become one of my favorite people in no time! I love to wrestle and play with my human besties, and I love love love getting neck and face scritches! You’ll know you’re a favorite of mine when I snuggle my face into your space. I also love my toys, especially my tennis ball! I love to go on walks, and have gotten used to being on a leash super fast! The main thing I am working on is to ignore cars and trucks passing by. I am also a super fast runner! I would absolutely love to have a fenced backyard to sprint around before I do my business. Speaking of business, I’ve learned not to go inside as long as I can go outside regularly. I’m great with other dogs, and very much look up to my foster sister, Maple! I love to follow her around, ask her to play, and learn from her. I would do wonderfully as a single child, but I would really love to have an older brother or sister to show me the ropes!

He is also very interested in and would love to play with other dogs. He would do well with any family, including a family with another dog. We don’t know yet his response to cats. Kolt knows his name, is learning basic commands--sit, stay, come-- and is getting used to his crate and pen. He wears a collar and walks well on a leash. He sleeps through the night in a kennel. Kolt is working on house training and does all his business outside. This happy boy would make any family happy!
