For over a year now, 3 year old Scarlett has been waiting for the chance to show someone what true German Shepherd loyalty feels like. She is the kind of dog who doesn’t give her heart away instantly, but once she chooses you, you will officially be one of her favorite people for life. At first, Scarlett can be a bit reserved and may take her time getting to know you. She is a classic shepherd at heart... devoted, incredibly smart, and ready to bond deeply with someone who can offer her consistent structure, gentle leadership, and love. ❤️❤️❤️
While she might not open up on day one, the payoff is so incredibly worth it. The moment Scarlett trusts you, a completely different side of her emerges... she transforms into a love bug with a silly side. To help her succeed, Scarlett is looking for a specific kind of home where she needs to be your one and only dog. She would love a quiet home where she can decompress and feel comfortable. We believe her circle can expand over time, but right now, she just needs a calm space to let her fun loving personality shine. Scarlett is wonderful on the leash and has beautiful manners. True connections are built in the day to day moments and with Scarlett, every bit of patience you invest will be returned in pure, lifelong devotion. She is completely worth it. You can meet her today at the Spotsylvania Animal Shelter in Fredericksburg, Virginia.

Ramone says... "Paint me like one of your French girls." 😉
He definitely knows how to strike a pose once he’s comfortable, but life at the shelter wasn't always this easy for him and his buddy, Kettle. A few months ago, these 3 year old boys were feeling nervous, and shut down, so much so that they refused to even budge from their kennel. Ramone and Kettle share a special bond, and we truly believe these sweet boys will do great adopted together as a dynamic duo. These handsome boys are great with other dogs and are starting to feel more confident. If you are looking for a pair of handsome hound mix dogs to complete your family, please come meet Ramone and Kettle today between 12-4pm at the Spotsylvania Animal Shelter.

*** 8 YEARS OLD AND 1 YEAR WAITING IN THE SHELTER ***
A shelter is no place for a senior dog to grow old, and after a year in her kennel, Panda is starting to get discouraged. The noise of shelter life has taken a toll on her, but a recent move to a quieter corner of our facility has brought back a bit of life. Panda is an absolute dream on the leash, adores people, and loves stuffed toys. Because she is so fun and sweet, she would make a wonderful family dog and would likely do well with kids. She prefers to keep all your love to herself and needs to be the only pet in the home as she can get a little jealous of sharing her space with other animals. Her perfect day would be lounging right next to you, curled up close, or tossing her toys around the living room floor. Panda has so much gratitude and love left to give. ❤️ We know her perfect family is out there... please help us find them. You can meet her today between 12-4pm at the Spotsylvania Animal Shelter in Fredericksburg, Virginia.

Lienne is 9.8 pounds of happy adorable Chi pup! Lienne arrived stray, spayed but with no chip and terrible flea dermatitis. While her family never came looking for her, she says she seems no worse for wear and she quickly settles in to her surroundings. Lienne spends her days playing with her similar sized foster siblings and snuggling under the covers at night for bedtime. Lienne is around 7 years and does need a dental cleaning, so an adoptive household should be prepared for that expense. Lienne says being a smaller girl, she is hoping to find a family that will never leave her outside unattended and being such a social girl, she would love to find one that is looking for a friend to take on many adventures. If ready to make a decade + commitment to a new family member, and your budget allows for dental needs, as well as the norm of heartworm prevention monthly and high quality food, Lienne says she hopes you will email her at [email protected] to tell her all about her potential forever home.

ADOPTED
Beldar, 3 years, is somehow still available for adoption. He has had a couple people meet him and they both fallen in love, but left to think on it but Beldar was hoping today would be the last night he ever spends in a shelter. If ready to provide a loving indoor only Forever home, and ready to spoil him rotten, he hopes that you will consider coming to meet/adopt him today before four and make sure to bring a carrier to take him home in.
