Avery, Young Male, 10 pounds, Richmond VA
My name is Avery. I am about 1 1/2 years young and weigh 10 pounds. They call me a Min Pin mix. I definitely have the characteristics of my Min Pin genes. I am very smart and very active with a big, bold personality. I already know what to do when my foster mom says “heel, sit, stay, come and place.” I just LOVE to learn and use my brain!! I also love positive attention and will make you laugh with my silliness! I am getting along really well with the other dogs in my foster home – even the one that gets in my face and barks! And I am really enjoying squeaky toys and chew toys.
I am looking for a very special person who has a good amount of experience with dogs because sometimes my brain works overtime when it comes to people. Somewhere in my life I learned to be wary of strangers and unpredictable movement. When I get scared, I become really riled up and will nip at people. My foster mom is working with me and I am making great progress. An e-collar helps me a lot.
My forever home must be with people who will understand my needs and can provide the kind of structure that allows me to thrive. Because fast or unpredictable movements can put me into High Alert mode, the best home for me is one with no children where my homelife will be calm and structured. Prior experience being the leader to a Min Pin or a dog with special behavior needs is what I need and what the MomsVA folks think is best for me. My fur-ever person and/or family must be patient, highly aware of my surroundings at all times, and dedicated to continuing my training. If you think we could be a match, click here.

Captain and Tennille, Adult Bonded Pair, 20 pounds each, Richmond VA
I’m Captain – and this is my partner Tennille. We are a very bonded pair and need a home where “Love Will Keep Us Together.” We entertain each other all day and snuggle together all night. At only 20 pounds each, we basically make up one dog. And you never have to worry about leaving us because we always have each other. Here is what our foster mom says about us: Captain – estimated to be 5 year of age but may be younger Captain is a funny, sweet, energetic, handsome little man. He generally spends all day wrestling with Tennille and all-night snuggling with his beagle sisters or his humans. He gets very excited to go on walks; however, he is very vocal when he catches the trail of something or when he sees bicycles – his sworn enemies. He is very smart and a quick learner, especially when food is used as a reward. Captain is pretty brave and is not scared of most sounds including thunder and fireworks. In true beagle fashion, he loves to go on “walk abouts” so he needs to be watched around open doors and gates. IMPORTANT: Captain does have a seizure disorder and takes medicine twice a day every day with a cost of $30 a month. He will need this medication his entire life to control his seizures. He has not had a seizure since starting the medication. Tennille – estimated to be 5 year of age but may be older Tennille is a happy, cute, pudgy little lady. She loves all people, kids, other dogs, and even the one cat we met on a walk. She gets SO excited when she sees someone, she does a little dance. She generally spends all day wrestling with Captain or burying her stuffed toys. She does not like to cuddle or be held very long by a human; however, she does love to snuggle with her beagle brother Captain. She gets really excited to go on walks but she is very vocal when she sees squirrels or bunnies – her sworn enemies. Tennille is very timid and is scared of most loud noises. Most of the world scares Tennille but she remains a happy little dog. If you have room in your home and your heart for us, please click here to tell MomsVA more about yourself! |
