Jessie Renea came to BHS through no fault of her own. She has been raised with children, dogs and a cat. She needs to be feed separately from other animals due to her not wanting to share her food. She is young and playful. She is very interested in pleasing her human. She knows sit, stay and come. She walks well on a leash and has been crate trained. She does not like to go for car rides because she has never been in a car but her foster feels this could change once someone takes her riding a lot. She loves her toys. She just loves life itself. Jessie Renea has received the Distemper-Parvo combination vaccine, Kennel Cough vaccine,and Rabies vaccine. Jessie Renea tested negative for heartworm and other tick borne diseases and has started on Heartworm preventative.

Marvin is a 1 year old German Shepherd mix, who has not had the easiest life. Was he loved and treated with love, we will never know. He ended up at the shelter and was not reclaimed by his owner. He has been hit by a car some time in his young life, so I think he's a car chaser, which is not good for his health and well being; he needs someone to protect him from himself. He walks well on a leash once you get his attention, and he will watch you for direction. He is a very good boy, but doesn't wear his heart on his sleeve. He is crate trained and rides well in the car. He does like to play with my other foster and he is good with other dogs, but it is always best to meet your dog. He looks at you with those dreamy eyes of his just watching..... looking for that special person that will love him and keep him safe for the rest of his life. Marvin is neutered, microchipped and has received the Distemper-Parvo combination vaccine, Kennel Cough vaccine and Rabies vaccine. He has been tested for heartworm and other tick borne diseases, and started on Heartworm preventative. He weighs 50 pounds and is a playful young dog. Bedford Humane Society wants to give him the best chance for a new life. We feel he would do best in a home with someone who knows German Shepherds and no children under 12 years of age. For more information, please call the Bedford Humane Society at 540-586-6100, or go to www.bhsva.org/adoptions-home.htm to fill out an adoption application.

Solo came to BHS as an owner-surrender because the young lady that had him had no time to care for him. He was outside most of the time running loose or tied out on a run. Since he is in foster care he is learning to be comfortable in a crate at night and walk nicely on a leash. He does get excited when he sees the deer run. He had no trouble acclimating to relieving himself outside when walked. He sits nicely for a treat and is learning to sit nicely before going in and out the door. For a six month old puppy we find him to be a pretty calm pup. Like all pups though he needs to be monitored for the tendency to chew objects he is not supposed to. Solo is a cuddly pup and would love to be in your lap. He has such a soft way of crawling there it is hard to say no but we will have to since not everyone wants a big dog in their lap. He loves to have a toy thrown for him which he will bring back to be thrown again. We think he would make a wonderful family dog with his loving nature. We think he will grow to a substantial size and therefore would not be suitable for an apartment. He occasionally has a mournful cry when he is first left alone but settles pretty quickly. Solo has been dewormed, microchipped, and is on heartworm preventive, He has received the Distemper-Parvo combination vaccine, Kennel Cough vaccine and Rabies vaccine. He will be neutered Jan. 17 and will be able to leave his foster home and go home to his 4ever home a day or so after that.

Daisy lost her home and family during Hurricane Florence in North Carolina in September 2018. Daisy found sanctuary with a lovely couple in Virginia who were under the impression that she was an older girl. After several weeks it did not work out as Daisy needed more exercise than the family could manage. It was heartbreaking for them to give her up. Daisy is a sweet, shy girl who loves to be petted. She loves going for walks and is learning not to pull on the leash. She’s had some formal training that BHS is continuing. With reminders, she is house trained. Crate training is in progress with good results. She plays well with her foster's dog. Due to her shyness, Daisy is best suited to a dog-experienced person/family who will continue her training and build her confidence with patience and kindness. Daisy has been dewormed, microchipped, tested for heartworm and is on preventive, spayed and has received the Distemper-Parvo combination vaccine, Kennel Cough vaccine and Rabies vaccine. For more information, please call the Bedford Humane Society at 540-586-6100, or go to www.bhsva.org/adoptions-home.htm to fill out an adoption application.

Let me introduce a pup named Nala. Bedford Humane Society pulled her from the county pound where she was surrendered by no fault of her own. Nala cannot talk so we really do not know why she had been taken out of the only life she has known for 10 months. Nala has the colors of a Shiba Inu and body style of a Whippet and acts very much like a miniature Labrador, therefore we are not real sure what to call her breed. Nala was living with another dog in her past and has been taken to adoption events now where she seems to do fine with other dogs. She has met all kinds of people and seems fine except does not like going to the vet. Nala is now living in an outside nice kennel with a concrete floor and solid roof and does go out in the yard for potty breaks. She knows a few commands and is willing to learn more. She loves to give hugs and kisses and want to sit in your lap. She is young and full of energy therefore she will need an active family that is ready to do some power walks. Nala has been spayed, dewormed, microchipped, tested for heartworm and is on preventive, and has received the Distemper-Parvo combination vaccine, Kennel Cough vaccine and Rabies vaccine. If you can give Nala a foster home inside or are interesting in meeting her to make her a family member, please call the Bedford Humane Society at 540-586-6100, or go to www.bhsva.org/adoptions-home.htm to fill out an adoption application. Bedford Humane Society is a foster based rescue therefore animals can be met by appointment only.
