Adoptable Pets

Take a moment and meet R***r, Rogan, Remi, Sammy, Hannah, Chuck, Tate, Sarg, Bobby, Zeus, Queenie, Sally and Annie. All with amazing stories of surviving against the odds. All looking for their second chance at home and family. It just takes one tender heart to say yes and destiny is forever changed. The Guardian Animal Foundation, home-based in Greenville, NC, saved over 144 animals during 2018 in the aftermath of Hurricane Florence. The gracious co-founders, Kelli Williams and Tami Hope, built an organization that is 100% volunteer-based and 100% of all donations go directly to the animals saved and their care. They have empowered me to work a satellite location in Virginia Beach, VA on their rescue’s behalf. Any donations given for this location will sponsor the needs of the animals listed on this page. Please take a moment and read their back stories. If you know someone looking for a great pet in Hampton Roads, please share these animals for their “happily ever after re-homed” ending. These dogs want to join the ranks of Luna, Vee, Robby, Godiva, Homer/Dallas, Clara/Molly, Adele/Daisy, Buddy/Brody/Charlie, Logan/Shino (pronounced Sheeno), Hercules/Sherman. The ones that made it to their “happy ever after” second chance. Learn about our already placed pups and the rally it took from the village to give them the opportunities to live past the tough road of shelter life and all the bumps and turns that come along with it in finding their forever place, their safe haven. In the summer of 2018, my awakening began by helping a large rottie girl, named Luna, find her second chance before having to go to a shelter. It changed my world. By fall, I was assisting with my first shelter “death row” dog pull 3000 miles away and placed her within my community. The mission grew rapidly from there. By year’s end, I assisted two more dogs in making it out safely from death row in high kill shelters, but there is always that one that doesn’t make it out. The one that always sticks in your mind as you help all the others. The one you couldn’t help, despite all the energies put into a rescue plan. My beautiful Rock is pictured above. He was killed, despite my best efforts to save him. Rock changed everything for me. I saw the despair in rescue, as much as the hope I had seen before with Luna. Because of Rock, he is the reason I don’t give up. No longer can I turn a blind eye to the state of affairs in our country’s animal shelters.
