Available Dogs

Olaf is a cute snuggly puppy needing a home. He is estimated to have been born in late October 2019. He is already 25 pounds at 3 months, therefore he will probably be a large adult. He loves to be with people and seems to like all dogs small and large. He has a happy go lucky attitude and is eager to please. He is learning basic commands and walks pretty well on a leash. Olaf has been dewormed, microchipped, and has received the Distemper-Parvo combination vaccine and Bordetella vaccine. BHS is guessing the breed is a Blue Heeler and Hound mix. He is not house trained, but understands to potty in the grass when taken outside. Since Olaf is not neutered, he is not available for adoption outside of the counties contiguous to Bedford County. There is a separate contract for the neuter surgery. His adoption fee is $225 and the neuter surgery is included in that adoption fee. 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.

Bella is in foster care and is crate trained and house trained. She is approximately 9 months old. She is learning to walk nicely on a leash and not to jump up. Bella and her sister were adopted from BHS when they were two month old puppies. Even though we had five of these puppies, we have not been able to really identify their breed. They were small puppies and we thought there may be some Jack Russell in there. But we are still guessing. Many say Beagle. They had to be given up due to family medical issues. They had been used to a fenced in back yard and that is why they had to learn to walk properly on a leash now. Her sister came into foster care first and has been adopted and this made room for Bella to come into our foster care. She is learning to sit patiently for a treat and to come when called. Bella is super friendly to all and her little body just wiggles all over when she sees someone to say hello to. She just needs to learn to keep her exuberance down and not to jump up. Bella has been dewormed, microchipped, tested for heart worm and is on preventive. When she was tested when we took her into the vet, she came up positive for erlichia, and is being treated with Doxycyvline right now. She has been spayed, and has received the Distemper-Parvo combination vaccine, Kennel Cough vaccine and Rabies vaccine.

Cooper has found himself needing a new home. He is the victim of what we call “Life Changes”. Life changes have happened to Cooper's fantastic loving family and they had no other choice but to let Cooper go to a new home. Cooper has been surrounded by children and loving people since 4 months old. Cooper was born in March 2018. Cooper would love to have a new family to love him and give him lots of attention. Cooper is in a foster home with another dog and is doing well. Cooper is a large sized dog and does tend to pull on leash walks. He has been leash trained and is now continuing this training but he is also still a puppy at heart and tends to pull hard. W It would be great if Cooper has his own fence yard to run off energy. Cooper knows many commands and is house trained. Cooper is up to date on vaccinations and is taking Heartworm preventative. Cooper's adoption fee is $175.00. 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.

Meet Ruger, he is a Shepherd mix born in April 2019. He was surrendered by his family due to the other family shepherds picking on him. Ruger is a happy young boy with no care in the world. He loves to run and play with another dog or is just as happy to play by himself. He likes to chase a ball and carry it around. He does not mind being in his crate when his foster mom is not there to supervise him. He lets her know if he needs to go potty. He is a very good boy on car rides and enjoy meeting new people. He walks pretty well on a leash but does forget how strong he is and he is in additional leash training. Sometimes this is just a puppy thing and he will grow out of it. He gets along with other dogs but sometimes the other dogs are afraid of his size, so recommend a meet and greet before playing. He plays with the other foster dogs in his foster home. He was picked on by other large dogs in early life therefore he is a little shy of large dogs. He is learning commands and sits quietly with all the foster dogs when getting a treat. He is a very sweet boy eager to please and be with people. Ruger has a slight limp every now and then. He has had blood tests and x-rays, and it appears he may have hip dysplasia in both hips. It is not an injury but possibly genetic. He has been seen by several veterinarians who recommend a watchful eye and not to do anything for an additional year, at least after he is finished growing. Ruger needs a long term foster home or a forever home that understands the large breed hip issues and is willing to give Ruger the best of life. He is ready to go to his forever, just needs someone to love him. Are you his Christmas Angel? Ruger has been dewormed, microchipped, tested for heartworm and is on preventive, neutered, and has received the Distemper-Parvo combination vaccine, Kennel Cough vaccine and Rabies vaccine.
