7. Sophie
Young (4 months) · Female · Shepherd / Mixed (short coat) · 26 mi from Hampton





Meet Victoria and Sophia! These two beautiful girls are 4 months old and have quite a story.
They were rescued as tiny babies from the streets of Puerto Rico. Their rescuer had originally planned to trap, spay, and release all four puppies because there simply aren't enough homes on the island. She released two, but when it came time to let Victoria and Sophia go, she just couldn't do it. Instead, she brought them home, raised them, and gave them the chance to find loving families of their own.
Read more about Sophie
Victoria looks like a tiny little (currently 12 lb) Shepherd and is expected to stay under 40 pounds full grown. Sophia has a beautiful brindle coat and is currently 16 pounds, so she may grow closer to 45 pounds.
Both girls are spayed, vaccinated, and on NexGard and Interceptor Plus. They walk nicely on a leash and are already learning their basic manners, including sit and stay. Their rescuer also speaks English, so we can share more about their time in her home and answer questions.
These girls were lucky enough to get a second chance. Now they just need families to make their futures complete!

9. Otto in Richmond VA
Adult · Male · Beagle · 77 mi from Hampton



Introducing Otto, the perfect pup! Weighing in at just 20 pounds and about 5 years old, Otto is looking for a home that is active, fun and loves to play. He is great with male and female adults, all aged kids, all sized dogs, and even cats. Otto is crate trained, house trained, and has learned how to be a snuggly indoor beagle boy, with no bad habits. Otto did not have the best start in life, so he looks a little older than he is, but he has plenty of spunk and loves to go hard, (but then go home to nap!!). Otto’s only requirement is for a person/family that will give him lots of attention and stuffies. This boy cherishes his toys!

15. Jaxson
Adult · Male · Pit Bull Terrier / Mixed · 77 mi from Hampton




Meet Jaxson — the quintessential man’s best friend.
Jaxson is looking for a human who needs him just as much as he needs them.
This boy loves with his entire soul. He’ll tuck his head between your neck and shoulder, lean in with every ounce of his being, and stay there as long as you’ll let him. There’s nothing in the world he loves more than a good snuggle. And thank goodness, because his snuggles are downright therapeutic.
Jaxson is a petite 45-pound, 6-year-old guy with a calm, easygoing personality. But every now and then, the sillies come out. He’ll roll onto his back, chomp at the air, and make the most ridiculous little gremlin noises.
His favorite things include snuggling, going for walks, chewing on bones, riding in the car, meeting people, snuggling, and, of course, more snuggling.
He absolutely adores children and has been wonderfully gentle with them.
Jaxson is a confident guy who is well-behaved in the house.
Read more about Jaxson
He prefers to be in the same room as his people, but he’s happy to settle in with a bone and entertain himself without being underfoot. He has a history of separation anxiety, but he’s made remarkable progress. He’s now perfectly comfortable relaxing in his crate while his people are away.
If you are interested in adopting Jaxson, please fill out an application today!

27. Brad
Puppy (1 month 30 days) · Male · Chihuahua / Mixed (medium coat) · 26 mi from Hampton



Meet Barbie, Briana, Becky, and Brad! Four little lives that deserve a chance at a beautiful future.
These precious white puppies and their mama were found abandoned on the streets of Puerto Rico. Nothing breaks our hearts more than finding a new mom trying to survive while caring for her tiny babies with no safe place to call home.
Thankfully, we were able to bring the whole family into our network of care. Mama and her four little ones are now safe, and we are working through their veterinary protocol so the puppies can travel to the States when they are around 3 months old.
Read more about Brad
Mom is a small girl, so we suspect these babies will be on the smaller side, too. We will know more about their personalities and sizes as they grow and settle in.
In the meantime, they are in wonderful hands with a foster who incorporates humane education into her Puerto Rican middle school classroom! These puppies will have the opportunity to be well cared for, socialized, and introduced to a world of kindness as they prepare for their journey.
From the streets of Puerto Rico to the possibility of loving forever homes, their story is just beginning.
Stay tuned as Barbie, Briana, Becky, Brad, and their mama grow and get ready for their next chapter!

Adopting a dog in Hampton
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.
