Ozzie in Rocky Mount, VA
We're not sure what Ozzie's life was like before he wandered into a woman's yard in early December, but we suspect that he may not have been around the nicest of people. He likes to watch people from a distance at first, and once he feels comfortable around them, he's very affectionate and friendly. He prefers that new people move slowly around him and give him the space to get to know them at a pace that he's comfortable with. The vet believes that he's roughly 5 years old.
Ozzie is housetrained and crate trained. He's been around larger dogs, but not smaller dogs, and has done just fine. This sweet boy deserves a home where he's pampered, loved, and feels safe in the knowledge that he'll never be homeless again. Could you give Ozzie a second chance? Please contact jesskraybill80@gmail.com or ascott@embarqmail.com for more information.

Ruger with Homeless Animals Rescue Team in Fairfax Station, VA
Age: About 9 months
Gender: Male
Breed: Cattle Dog Mix
Size: Medium
Dog Friendly: Yes
Cat Friendly: Yes
Kid Friendly: Unknown
Ruger is super handsome and super intelligent. He loves every person he meets. He is only about 9 months old, so he still has a lot of puppy behavior. He is extremely smart. He knows sit, down, high five, stay, come, and paw. He is working on not jumping up on people,which improves daily. He is crate trained and house broken. Ruger is looking for an experienced owner who will give him guidance and correction as needed. He does have a lot of herding instinct, so needs a lot of daily exercise. A large yard or daily trips to the dog park is crucial to keeping Ruger stimulated. The perfect home would have at least an acre in which he can explore and chase squirrels and birds. Although friendly with children, Ruger should not be placed in a home with children due to his energy level. He currently has a very alpha foster family and is doing amazingly well! He does great with commands and needs to be not only physically stimulated, but mentally stimulated as well. Ruger would be a great agilty or obedience dog. He needs someone to challenge him and will return the favor is love and cuddles.

Roxanne with Out Of The Woods Rescue in LIttle Rock, Arkansas
Roxanne is a very friendly, and happy dog. She is pretty laid back and undemanding.
We found a foster home for Roxanne. We were able to rescue her litter of pups which were placed in wonderful homes, our beloved snow puppies. They have all been adopted except Shirley and Lenny, which are also listed on our website, even Cyrano has a wonderful home now. It is time for Roxanne to find her special place.
Their story is poignant and compelling at the same time. Like so many rescues that are found here in the south.
We believe Roxanne is about two years old, weighs about 35 to 40lbs., she is spayed, up to date on shots, micro-chipped, heartworm negative.
Our greatest wish is that she can be adopted, to live the rest of her life with a loving family. Somewhere, where there is a big yard, but fenced in. Please never to be tied up again.
Do you or your family have a forever home for this deserving girl if possible? She would be a wonderful companion.
For more information please contact Diana at belle.of.sale.@gmail.com

Daisy at Almost Home Pet Adoption Center, Lovingston, VA
Daisy is a beautiful red roan, four year old, Australian Cattle Dog (aka Blue/Red Heeler) with a bob-tail. She is well trained and house-broken (goes to the door and whines). She is a hard working, loyal dog - an experienced herding dog enthusiast would be best for this dog although she will do just about anything with the right motivation: check out her award winning performance as a ballerina at this year’s Yappy Howl-O-Ween event at Keswick Vineyards – she had a great time and made lots of new friends!
She would be best in an adult home - although she likes children, her breed is known to nip at children’s heels when they run. Daisy doesn't get along with some of the dogs at the shelter, so setting up a "play date" at your home might be best to see if Daisy is a good fit before adopting.

Jakson at Rogers' Rescues in NJ/PA
Jakson is a German Shepherd/ACD mix estimated to be about 5-6 years old. Jakson was adopted from Rogers’ Rescues about 2 years ago. Due to issues beyond his control, Jakson’s adopter has to give Jakson up. He is devastated because he loves Jakson very much.
For 2 years of Jakson’s first 3 years of life, he lived in an animal shelter. The women at the shelter took phenomenal care of Jakson but time and time again, he was passed by for adoption because, well, he's a black dog and not necessarily a popular breed. But the women at the shelter never gave up on him.
Today, Jakson is a loving dog who is dedicated to his person. But it can take him awhile to warm up to new people. You see, despite his confident and strong appearance, Jakson is really a scaredy cat about new things and new people. So we are looking for a quiet environment where Jakson can feel comfortable, secure and loved. If you have a lot of guests, your home won’t be the best for Jakson.
Jakson is housebroken and loves other dogs. He is not destructive and is trust worthy uncrated in the home. He is SUPER SUPER affectionate once he gets to know you.

To set up a meeting with Jakson, email mare19@comcast.net. Or click here to submit an application to adopt.
