Sweet Pea

My Name is Sweet Pea

Do you need love? I’ve got plenty!
They identify me as a 55 lb. Australian Sheppard approximately 2 years old. I was named Sweet Pea by the two vet techs who thought I was just so sweet! I was found in a yard under a car in Georgia assumed abandoned due to the high number of foreclosed homes in the area. I seem to have lived off yard mushrooms, so she’ll still grab one when walking. Attempts to find my family failed & I had no chip. Luckily I was rescued by an old lady who that very week was returning to live in Virginia. So she backed me in with her other 3 dogs – and off I came to VA. Prior to leaving GA I got my rabies shot and was found heartworm positive. That old lady said I was just too sweet – so she got me treated in Waynesboro by some very nice people at Commonwealth and I am all better now. I recently got spayed too. So I’m ready for a home and someone to really love me… my own family.
The old lady doesn’t have kids, but I seem to respond favorably to them. I have lots of energy and need a fenced yard to run in. I have been an inside dog, well house trained. I am a great car traveler with long and short distance trips. I seem pretty true to my breed as I gently paw the little dog (3 pounds) in the house in an effort to herd her some times. I’m curious about cats, but again – she doesn’t have any. I play with the middle dog running in the GA yard when visiting – its fenced. I seem passive with the biggest dog in the house always being polite and respectful to her near 90 pounds. I know some basic commands and catch on fast. I walk daily with the big dogs. I am not food aggressive and will let you touch me or hold my bowl when I eat, but I will need some more work in this area. I have some cute ways – like I’ll dance on two legs for dinner, sitting my head on your leg while you work, climbing between or onto your legs for love, or sitting with my paws crossed while the old lady works at her desk. I know to stay out of the kitchen and I’ll sit there patiently waiting at the threshold. I will come with a bed, lead, gentle leader, heart worm pills for several months and my current dog food. I chewed my bowl – so it won’t be coming with me. I am a great dog and you would love me because I will love you back fully.

Bentley

Bentley is a sweet 3 year old Shepherd Mix who unfortunately made a bad decision.His human pulled him from under a table by his back haunches and unfortunately Bentley bit him.
His humans were going to put him down – but Megan Caston asked them to reconsider and board him while they tried to rehome him.
Bentley is a somewhat shy and cautious but very loving boy who could use another chance.
According to Megan, he is not an aggressive dog and has always been one of her favorite boarders.

Young Female Cat :)

I am looking for a good home for an indoor/outdoor young female cat. She'slitter trained and very sweet. She likes some freedom to come in and out ofthe house; she often likes to go outside in the morning, but she alwayscomes back, and she always sleeps inside. She's grey-tabby with green eyes.She likes to curl up in your lap or on the floor and let you pet her. Sheshowed up at my house several times (on Thursdays) before she decided toadopt me, so I named her Thursday. I planned to keep her, but I got anothercat in the mean time so that they would have companions. Thursday was muchhappier when she was the only cat in the household, and my new cat wants acompanion. I hope to find Thursday a home where she can be the only cat andadopt one of the new cat's siblings so she will have a companion. If youare interested, or know someone who might be, please pass this along. Mycontact info is below. Thanks! M.

Deaf Dog Missing - Please forward

Contact info is: donnitamae@yahoo.com

At about 9 AM on 1/16 Jax slipped out the door at his home in Montclair VA. He followed his owner out into the garage without being noticed. The garage door was open and by the time he was noticed missing he was no where to be found. The wife just came home yesterday fro m a 3 week hospital stay and is still not well. Both of them were out most of the day looking for Jax. They are just devastated. This couple always adopts seniors. They are very special people. Virginia is experiencing devastatingly cold weather. It is expected to get down into the single digits tonight. Jax was wearing a collar along with tags from the rescue he was adopted from. Jax is 12 plus years old and is deaf. I fostered this sweet old man over the summer. I am holding onto hope that he was picked up by some caring person. I am extremely worried though since there has been no call. My heart is very heavy. Please keep Jax in your thoughts and prayers. Donnita
