1. Fallon
Young (6 months) · Female · Hound / Mixed (short coat) · 25 mi from Middleburg




Meet Fallon — a little lovebug learning that the world can be a safe place.
Fallon is a 5–6 month old sweetheart who is looking for a very special forever family. She’s silly, loving, playful, and absolutely melts into you once she knows she’s safe.
This girl is timid and easily overwhelmed, especially by new people, loud noises, and busy environments. She may bark or growl when she’s scared, and when things feel like too much, she’ll retreat to her safe spot. Fallon isn’t being difficult—she’s learning to trust after someone was unkind to her. She needs a patient person who will give her time, space, reassurance, and lots of positive experiences.
Once Fallon feels comfortable, you’ll see the real her: zoomies, toys, cuddles, hugs, kisses, and the sweetest little smile.
Read more about Fallon
She loves playing with toys, enjoys snuggling in your lap, and just wants to love her people and be loved right back.
Fallon’s ideal home: • A quiet, calm household and surroundings • Someone patient who understands that confidence takes time • A securely fenced yard rather than busy walks for now • A family willing to help her build trust at her own pace • A home where she can decompress and feel safe
She’s crate trained, mostly housebroken with occasional accidents, and does wonderfully with other dogs and cats. She’s also good with redirection and listens well. Because she can be easily frightened, a chaotic or very busy home probably isn’t her best fit.
Fallon may not be the dog who wants to accompany you everywhere—but she could be the dog who becomes your best friend at home. Give her a little patience, and she’ll give you her whole heart.
Fallon is waiting for someone who will see the scared little girl underneath and help her discover the confident, happy dog she’s meant to be.
Could you be her safe place? ❤️

5. Laredo
Adult · Male · Terrier / Mixed · 30 mi from Middleburg




Meet Laredo! Laredo spent the first 5 ½ years of his life with the only family he had ever known, from the time he was just a few weeks old. When circumstances changed, Laredo suddenly found himself without the home and family he had known his entire life. Now, this handsome boy is looking for the second chance, and forever home, he deserves.Despite everything he has been through, Laredo is a sweet, smart, people loving boy who enjoys meeting new people and being part of the action. He already knows sit and paw, comes when called, walks very nicely on a leash, and is both house trained and crate trained.
Read more about Laredo
He’s also quite vocal and loves a good howl when he has something to say!Laredo is currently spending time with a professional trainer, where he is doing very well and giving us the opportunity to learn even more about him. He has done well with large female dogs and may also be compatible with more submissive large male dogs. He can be selective with confident male dogs, so any potential canine sibling would need to be carefully considered and appropriately introduced. His compatibility with smaller dogs is still being evaluated.One important thing we’ve learned about Laredo is that he really needs companionship. He does not do particularly well being completely alone and is happiest when he can be with his person. If his people are going to be away, Laredo needs the companionship of other compatible dogs around him. He would do best in a home where he won’t routinely be left completely by himself for long periods of time.Laredo does have a strong prey drive and cannot live with cats, chickens, or other small animals. We are also looking for a home without young children.Laredo loves being outside and having room to roam and explore. He does have a history of escaping, so secure fencing is important, and he should not be left outside unattended. Since settling into his current environment with plenty of space and secure 6-foot no-climb fencing, he has not been showing signs of trying to escape. Keeping him exercised, engaged, and included will be important in his new home.Laredo needs an experienced, committed adopter who can provide him with structure, consistency, exercise, attention, and plenty of love. He is an intelligent dog with so much potential, and with the right person willing to understand his needs, we believe he will flourish.After spending 5 ½ years with one family, we want to make sure Laredo never has to start over again. We aren’t looking for just any home for him, we’re looking for the home that will finally be his forever!

Adopting a dog in Middleburg
Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the dog, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your dog in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.
Senior dogs are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate dog, ask the rescues about their older residents.
Puppies go quickly, so if you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon. Ask how big they're expected to grow, and plan for plenty of house-training and training in the first few months.
