Dogs for Adoption in Harrisonburg, VA: 30 Dogs Looking for a Home

Carmella is a Pit Bull mix. She needs a home without other dogs, although she does well with kids and cats. Carmella does enjoy car rides and is leash and crate trained. She is a 'runner' if she gets the chance, so containment in a secure yard or on a leash is a must.

Carmella is spayed and vaccinated and ready for her new home!

Adoption fee... $175, cash or credit card. Mon.-Sat. 10-4

WHO SAYS YOU CAN'T TEACH AN OLD DOG NEW TRICKS? Meet 13-year-old Carmello, the pit mix who apparently missed the memo that seniors are supposed to slow down! This handsome gentleman is 13 going on 3! He's playful, energetic, loves his toys, enjoys car rides, and walks like a gentleman on a leash. Basically, he's got his retirement plan all figured out... and it involves FUN! Carmello is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on his vaccines. He LOVES attention and would be thrilled to have a family to spoil him with all the love he deserves! Cats? We're not quite sure how he feels about them, so slow, patient introductions are best.

Meet Mango Grace!
This girl does not her let age stop her! She has lots of spunk and is 11 years young! Mango Grace is playful and even sits for treats. She loves to play fetch, but there is no guarantee that she will bring the ball back lol. She is crate trained, mostly housebroken, smart, and highly entertaining.
She is approximately 45 pounds, spayed, vaccinated, heartworm negative, and microchipped. She is probably not a good fit for small dogs and no cats. Mango Grace does get along with other dogs, but as always, we require a meet and greet. Please, please adopt this girl and watch her have fun, fun fun til her owner takes her tennis ball away.

☀️Lacey is a Super Star☀️

Lacey is one of those very special souls that lights up a room and brings joy just by being in her presence.

Lacey is cuddly, snuggly, and oh so sweet! She is a 5 year old boxer mix, housebroken, crate trained, about 45 pounds, spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped.

She is good with other dogs, as always we do require a meet and greet with other dogs in the home.

When taken into the cat room at the animal shelter, Lacey was intimidated by the hissing kitties and backed away. We feel that is a good indicator that she may be able to live harmoniously live with cats.

Meet Joy! This mellow and beautiful senior lab/ Sharpei mix. She is about 11 years old, spayed, vaccinated, housebroken, crate-trained,and heartworm negative. Joy gets along with most dogs she has met, but as always, we require a meet and greet with other canines in the home. She is not a candidate for a home with cats. She is incredibly sweet and loves to give kisses. She walks beautifully on a leash. She has been in foster care for a very long time searching for a forever home.
*Joy is NOT at the Bedford County Animal Shelter. If you are interested in Joy, please email fobcasfriends@gmail.com.

They call it puppy LOVE!
please note that Diablo is not at the animal shelter and is not a sponsored adoption. He is in foster care with our Rescue group.

Diablo is a 3 month old, neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, mixed breed puppy, adoptable through Friends of Bedford County Animal Shelter. He has a huge personality and has loved everyone he’s met. We’ve learned he loves toys - tennis balls, stuffed animals, tug of war, squeaky toys. He isn’t picky, he just loves to play. He’s working on potty training but seems to be a quick learner. He is dog friendly and has a ton of puppy energy.

Meet Noelle! Your future best friend is waiting! At 3 years old and around 75 pounds, Noelle is a whole lot of love wrapped up in one beautiful pittie package! Noelle can be a little nervous when meeting new people, so she may need a couple of visits to feel comfortable and let her personality shine. But once she opens up, you'll discover a sweet, loving girl who enjoys attention and absolutely LOVES her toys! Noelle came to us as a stray, so unfortunately, we don't have any history on her past. Here's what we do know: Spayed, microchipped and up to date on vaccines. Needs to be the only dog in the home.

Prius came from the same area of the county as another dog we recently took in who was named after a car so logically we felt we needed to keep the theme going! Prius has had no leash walking experience and refill has probably been kept on a tie out because he loves walking in circles running around and around the human who is taking care of him. As much as we would love for him to go back to a family, we hope it will be a better situation if he is reclined. He is active, and we really are in a quandary about what his possible breed mix could be. Best guess is something active and one that will need lots of directed activity. If you’re looking for fun, trainable, and a dog that’s alert and wants to play, consider Prius if he is not reclaimed.

This little girl was left at a short-staffed, over-crowded shelter and was on the euthanasia list. Because she was pregnant, staff made a hard push to get her out as they could not safely deliver her pups in the shelter. She is now in a foster home at AFH where she can deliver her pups in a warm, loving home. This sweet girl is friendly, loving and calm. She is OK with other dogs and a bit shy, but warms up quickly. Stay tuned for updates.

Lily is a 4-year-old Bluetick Coonhound who is ready to find her forever home! She is already spayed and ready to start her next chapter. If you love hounds, Lilly might just be the girl for you! Come meet her and see if she is the perfect addition to your family! ❤️

Meet Putts – Your New Best Friend! Found as a stray in southern Virginia, Putts is ready to leave his past behind and start a wonderful new chapter with a family of his own! This adorable Lab mix is full of love, kisses, and cuddles. Putts has a happy, playful personality and loves spreading joy wherever he goes. Whether it’s playtime, getting lots of affection, or snuggling up with his favorite people, Putts is all about making the most of every moment. Putts is ready for his happily ever after. Could it be with you?

Meet Pumpkin, a sweet little girl who is ready for her happily ever after! Pumpkin came in painfully skinny, but once she came into rescue she's been putting on weight nicely and is blossoming into a happy, healthy pup. This adorable Lab mix is the last of her litter still waiting for a family to call her own, and we are determined to help her find the wonderful forever home she deserves! Don't let her humble beginnings fool you—Pumpkin is full of puppy personality! She's frisky, playful, and always ready for a little fun. Like any young pup, she has so much love to give and so many wonderful adventures ahead of her. Could you be the lucky one to give this precious girl the happily ever after she deserves?

Taz is in foster care! His foster wrote a bio describing him: Taz is part cuddle-bug and part energizer bunny. Some of his favorite things are playing fetch, going on walks (or runs!), getting belly rubs, and cuddling with his humans. He has bursts of high energy but also enjoys long naps in sunspots. He would do well as an only dog! He also likes playing with other small dogs, but he can play hard and rough and has a tendency to steal toys and beds, so that would need to be managed. Taz is super affectionate. He wants to love and be loved and craves lots of attention. He will stay close to your side and remind you if you forget to pet him.

Get ready to meet Gizmo, a 2-year-old FUN BOY who is one seriously cool dude! This handsome guy is possibly a Husky/German Shepherd mix (our best guess!), and he’s ready to find a family to call his own. At 40 lbs he's a great size! Gizmo came to a shelter after his previous owners welcomed a new puppy and decided that three dogs were just too many. Now, this awesome boy is hoping someone will give him the second chance he deserves! Gizmo has lived with other dogs and kids, so he has some experience being part of a family! We’re not sure how he feels about cats just yet, so that would be something to explore.This fun-loving dude has so much life ahead of him, and all he needs is someone willing to give him a chance. Could Gizmo be the missing piece to your family?

Bowie was surrendered to Mutt Love through no fault of her own. She is doing well in play group and is sweet. We will update her bio as we get to know her.

Biscuit is a 10 week old Pit Bull mix. He is your typical puppy and will need basic training including housetraining. He has done well with other dogs. He does pretty well on leash and on car rides.

Adoption fee... $175, cash or credit card includes neuter, microchip and first shots. If you already have a dog, bring them with you for a 'meet and greet'! Mon.-Sat. 10-4

Here's a little more about this wonderful girl: 7 years old and full of love Spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines Housetrained and crate trained.

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!

Leo arrived as a stray, wearing a collar, and sporting a microchip. Unfortunately, the registration is not updated and we have not been able to reach his registered owner. We will dig a little deeper and contact the facility that inserted his microchip to see if we can find out where mom might be.

Leo appears to be house trained, but he is not neutered, snd he does like to lift his leg to mark.

Meet Hooch- if you like hounds, you'll love this guy! Hooch was a stray here in Highland Co near the WV line. He is currently fostering with Dulcie and Dewey, whom he loves to play with! Hooch gains his confidence from other dogs. He is warming up to people, but we suspect he didn't have the best start. He is fairly quiet, is house/crate trained, and gets along with male and female dogs. He has not been cat tested. Hooch is 3y old and 60 lbs. His ideal home would be a dog-savvy family with a confident dog and a fence.

Meet TJ! This 8 month old cattle dog mix is just as sweet as he can be. He's a regular at Camp Merricks and has never caused one bit of trouble. He loves to play and does great with other dogs. He was recently at the Overland Expo event at Oak Ridge Estate and met people nicely, without jumping. When he was tired, he went right to the crate available to him and took a nap. TJ is crate trained and does well on a leash, but needs a little practice. He is learning good manners and is eager to learn more. Sweet, gentle personality Knows “sit” Takes treats nicely Very dog-friendly and loves having canine buddiesTJ is a happy go lucky boy that's a great size to go anywhere with you. At only 41 lbs. he's capable, willing, friendly, and ready to Go! Come meet TJ today.

Molly was brought to the shelter by her owner who said four dogs was too many. We think there must’ve been a little more to it than that since she is eight months old and on the shy side, but we never know what’s going on at peoples homes before dogs come to us. She is not an outgoing dog, but is receptive when people love her and encourage her to try new things. Working on house training is always a project for us, but in her case we’re also working on confidence and teaching her that leash walking is a good thing!

Meet Dollar! He's a ten month old boy who has spent the majority of his short life in the shelter system. He's been really fortunate to first have been in the Amherst shelter with their kind folks and three times a week visits to Camp Merricks to play, and now waiting with us for his forever family to find him! Dollar is good with other dogs and enjoys playing. He has suffered some shelter stress that resulted in him chewing his tail. He's getting better and his tail is healing. Dollar is a pretty chill guy. He is gentle and sweet. He can be a little timid in new situations, but warms up with the a bit of encouragement and patience.

This pretty girl is Tia! She lived with three other dogs. When all four dogs got out and brought to Amherst Animal Control, their owner surrendered all but one, understanding four dogs was just too much. We snatched Tia up when we had some empty rooms so we could help them with their overcrowded shelter. Tia has a beautiful black & white coat and a distinguished blue eye making her easy to identify. Tia walks nicely on a leash and was wonderful when she recently attended the Overland Expo event at Oak Ridge Estate. She is learning basic commands, but still has some learning to do. Tia is only 1 year old & has plenty of time to learn new commands to be the best dog she can be in her future.
