WE HAVE SAD NEWS - WE HAVE LOST THE LOCATION FOR OUR PRISON DOG PROGRAM 😭

Firstly, it has nothing to do with us. The entire prison is shutting down (Not sure why. Above our pay grade) But the prison we have loved working with in Pennsylvania for the past few years will be no more. We are devastated. So many great homes come out of that program for so many VRC dogs.

So we are looking for another prison! If there are any prisons in West Virginia (anywhere in this state), South Ohio, East Kentucky or Virginia (so that we can keep it close to our trainer in WV), we are willing to start another program!

We do NOT need anyone to "Google prisons" for us. We are simply looking for someone who possibly works in any of these prisons or has a connection/contact at any of these prisons.

Any information you have, PLEASE email us at: [email protected]

Meet Almond 🌰🐾

Almond is a 3-year-old pit bull who is basically the full package: beauty, brains, and a whole lot of sass.

She lives for two things: soaking up sunshine like she’s on a permanent vacation and being your personal weighted blanket at night.
But don’t get too comfortable, if a squirrel dares step paw in her kingdom, Almond instantly clocks in for squirrel security duty.
(Your yard has never been safer.) 🐿️🚨

Almond is also what we call “selectively adventurous.”
Sometimes she’s all in for a walk, tail wagging like crazy… and sometimes? Nope. She’ll politely lay down mid-sidewalk and let you know today’s workout is canceled. (Her favorite cardio is couch cuddling anyway.)

She’s not into sharing the spotlight, so she’ll need to be your one-and-only pet. But honestly? Almond gives enough love to fill a whole pack. 💖

And the cherry on top?
Almond is already virtually adopted, which means her adoption fee is covered. That’s right, you just need to bring the love, and she’ll handle the rest.

If you want a best friend who’s equal parts comedian, cuddle bug, and squirrel-hunting queen, Almond is ready to move in and steal your heart (and your couch).

WE NEED THE VRC VILLAGE!! PLEASE CONSIDER SIGNING IT!!!

In late August, the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries introduced proposed regulations that could severely restrict wildlife rehabilitators from helping injured, orphaned, or ill coyotes and armadillos. These animals are being labeled as “nuisance animals,” and if the proposals are a...

“But I thought you don’t adopt to………….”🐾
We hear these a lot—so let’s clear the air about our adoption process!

🚗 “I want to adopt but I live too far away.”
Yes we are based in Louisiana BUT…No worries, we adopt across the entire U.S. Once your application is approved, we’ll work with you on home checks and even transport our dogs to you. West Coast, Midwest, East Coast, or local—we’ve done it all!

🐱 “You don’t adopt to houses with cats or small dogs.”
We absolutely DO, when it’s the right fit!
If you fall in love with a dog who wouldn’t be safe or comfortable with cats or small dogs, we won’t place that dog in your home.
But don’t worry—we have so many amazing pups who are cat- and small-dog-friendly.

🐕 “I have multiple dogs, you won’t adopt to me.”
We will…….if the dog is happy living with multiple canine friends! Our matchmakers M2 & Lizzy make sure everyone is set up for success.

🏡 “I live in an apartment or don’t have a fence.”
A fenced yard is not a blanket requirement. Sure, a few of our dogs need one, but many thrive in apartments, RVs, or even traveling with truckers. It’s all about the dog’s personality and your lifestyle.

✨ Bottom line: Apply! ✨
Our application is detailed because Lizzy and M2—our magical matchmakers.
They work hard to pair you with the perfect dog. Tell us about your home and what you’re looking for, and we’ll help make the right match.

Not ready to adopt?
We even have a foster dog program!
Email us if you would like to be apart of our foster program: [email protected]

Seriously, just apply! Don’t be discouraged.
Because every dog deserves their forever.

We are adding dogs daily!!

At just 1.5 years old, Fang is living proof that you can be majestic and ridiculous at the same time. Part Mastiff, part Lab, part… water buffalo?

His #1 love?
WATER.
Kiddie pool? In it.
Hose spray? LOVES IT!
Mud puddle? He IS the mud puddle.
Honestly, if you’ve ever wanted a roommate who might try to live in your bathtub, Fang’s your guy.

Loves kids? ✅
Road trip buddy? ✅
Confident, friendly, acts like he’s known you forever? ✅

Sure, sometimes he forgets he’s basically the size of a small horse, but it only lasts about 5 minutes before he transforms into a certified couch loaf.

Other dogs?
Fang’s vibe is “Netflix & chill.”
If your dog respects his space, all good. If your dog acts like they’ve had 3 Red Bulls and wanna wrestle… hard pass.

So if you’re into giant, wet, lovable doofuses who will greet every stranger like a long-lost cousin, Apply for Fang.
Just… make sure you have towels! 💙

He is also virtually adopted, so his adoption fee, COVERED!

OUR WEST VIRGINIA PROPERTY IS LOOKING FOR VOLUNTEERS (AND EMPLOYEES)

We are holding our first-ever volunteer day and on-site employment interviews on Saturday, Sept. 27th.

This is NOT a new location. We've had it for years, but we are finally ready for volunteers! This is a very small location where our pending and potential prison program dogs reside until there is room for them in our prison program in PA.

On Saturday, Sept. 27th, we invite a small group of volunteers "up to the mountain" for a day of walking and cuddling with some amazing VRC dogs. In return, you will receive a delicious lunch served by Orlando (who oversees this location)

Additionally, we are conducting employment interviews on the same day. To get more information or to apply for either a volunteer or job, email Orlando at: [email protected]

The day is set aside for volunteers/job applicants ONLY. And again, you MUST email Orlando for the address, more information, etc. Looking forward to meeting everyone!

UPDATE: Post has been corrected with the right date.
