Spencer, Young Male, 52 pounds, Richmond VA
Hey! Spencer here, I’m a sweet boy, around 18-24 months old looking for my people! I got rescued from a scary shelter and my foster mom says I’m just a Happy, Friendly, Silly, Goofy, Funny guy (she can go on and on). I think I have a lot to offer some lucky family, and everyone says I am so smart! I absolutely LOVE training classes and learning new things!! And my teacher says I am SO good at it!! I even pick things up faster than my foster mom! LOL After my classes, I get some time in the yard where I can meet new pups! My teachers make sure it is a safe controlled environment which makes me happy. Some want to play, which I am totally up for, some not so much so I try to stay out of their way! I like to play and play hard so hopefully if my new home has a fur sibling, they will like to play too! Human siblings, probably best to keep them older cause I’m still just a kid myself and pretty bouncy. As for the kitties, I’ve never met one so I can’t really say. My ideal home would have a fenced yard so I can run and play because I love my zoomies! Better to get them out in the yard than in the house, my foster mom says. I’m good in my crate, I am always up for a car ride or a walk around the neighborhood, and I am working hard on my loose leash skills! Oh and I like rubber toys that squeak! If you just can’t resist my sweet face as I longingly look into your eyes, please click here to see if we could be a match! |

Cleo, Young Female, 60 pounds, Richmond VA
Hello. My name is Cleo and they call me a shepherd/mix. My foster mom says I am ‘super sweet’ because I love to cuddle with her. I also love to go for daily walks, hikes, and car rides – and I very much enjoy the water hose when it is on jet and sprayed at me! I get into a cute pose just as the hose is about to “attack” me.
MomsVA has me in training and I wear an e-collar. My foster family is reinforcing basic commands- sit, down, stay and I am also working on walking next to my person and waiting for instructions. I am smart and I love to learn – especially all the praise and treats! I get along with most of the dogs in my foster home but I can be a bit bossy sometimes. My e-collar has been helpful to let me know when my behavior needs a bit of re-thinking.
The best home for me is one where folks have a lot of experience with dogs so that they can help me be the best girl I can be. If you think we could be a match, click here.

Alfie, Older Puppy, 50 pounds, Richmond VA
Hello! My name is Alfie! I am a 9–10 month old mix breed puppy and I might be a little shy at first, but once I warm up, I am all about fun and love meeting new people! I was recently rescued from a local shelter and am now thriving in a wonderful foster home where I’m learning to be my best puppy self.
I’m playful and energetic, especially with other dogs that match my play style! I love playing one-on-one or in group settings. I would do best in a new home that already has a well-established, friendly dog to show me the ropes. A fenced yard for running and playing would also be perfect for me! I’ve never met a cat, but I’ll probably give chase if they run.
Things I love:
• Car rides (they take me to all the fun places!)
• Playing in the river
• Exploring the woods
• Visiting breweries (I’m very well-behaved!) and
• Snuggles!!
I’m housebroken, crate trained, and learning new house manners daily! I already know some cool tricks like sit, paw, turn around, lay down, and wait! I still have a bit of puppy mouthiness (as puppies do), so older, respectful children (9+) would be ideal companions for me.
Since I’m still a puppy, I need a patient, loving family who will dedicate time to my training and exercise needs. With positive reinforcement and consistency, I will grow up to be the best dog I can be! Puppy training also helps us bond, so it’s a win-win for both of us!

Domino, Young Male, Richmond VA
Hi, my name is Domino and I am about 10 months old and weigh 14 pounds. I am a black and white Jack Russell mix with many of the typical terrier behaviors like loads of energy and the ability to jump onto everything! My foster Mom has been working on house training me and also leash training. I love to go on long walks with my fur sister; it helps me settle down. I sleep in a crate and take my naps in a crate, too, as long as there is a cuddly blanket in there.
I have been introduced to just two other dogs besides my fur sister that lives here. I am very wary of dogs and most humans at first. I will warm up but get very vocal at first when I am unsure. I have not met any cats yet. Chewing on anything and everything is a favorite pastime. Soft toys don’t last very long but hard chew toys keep me busy.
The best home for me will have at least one fur sibling and older children; not little ones.
