Adult Dogs for Adoption in Virginia Beach, VA: 30 Grown-Up Dogs Looking for a Home

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.

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!

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.

Carolina needs a home with a fenced yard (no exceptions). She also needs a home with another confident dog. She didnt have the best start in life, so she needs someone with a little patience. She is very smart and eager to learn. She loves to play and wrestle with the other dogs in her foster home. Adopter must live in the Hampton Roads area. We prefer a home with no small children. There are additional requirements for active duty military.

Kobe is a sweet, loving boy. He loves dogs, so he needs a home with another dog friend or two. He also loves cats. Kobe would prefer a fenced yard, so he can run a few zoomie laps. Adopters must live in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia (Coastal Virginia).

Raven was surrendered to a county shelter. She is extremely scared and barks at everyone until she learns to trust. She needs a lap to feel safe and someone to love and protect her. The woman who surrendered her just handed her over and told the tech that Raven was their problem now. We have only had her for 4 days and she is learning to trust. Her current foster just informed us that she can't foster any longer because she had health issues and wasn't able to care for Raven any longer. She needs a quiet family with no children and one who understands that everyone is a giant to her and will give her time to trust. She is a sweet little girl once you get to that point. If you want a loving lap pup who wants to be with you once you have passed the trust test, contact Rainbow Animal Rescue at 7574721583 or rainbowanimalrescueva@gmail.com

Soren was a stray picked up by the local animal control, so we know nothing about his prior life or lack thereof but we can take a guess. Soren came to us fur stained with urine and it was apparent that he had lived his life in a crate that was likely just big enough for him to lay down in. Since coming to us Soren has been fully vetted, microchipped, neutered, and is HW-. Soren is an energetic pup who's always looking for his next adventure. Soren is crate trained and has had no accidents in the crate. Soren becomes so excited when he sees you that sometimes he pees on your leg by accident (ask our volunteers how they know), this is easily corrected with a belly band. Soren was dog tested and did fine, although sometimes he's a little too excited to meet dog friends that we suggest a friend who has similar energy. Soren has not been cat tested. Soren is very photogenic and loves being the center of attention, but is also content being in the background. Soren is the perfect suburbian sized Pitbull, not too big and not too small. Soren knows the basic command of sit, and is actively willing to learn more commands as long as the cookies are free flowing.

He is a very strong, affectionate, and full of personality. He loves to take walks, play with his toys, be outside, and of course be loved on. He needs to be in a structured home and with someone that will give him the proper training and attention he needs daily. We do not know if he is good with cats and he seems to be good with other dogs. However, he will have to go to a home with no children unless tested with them. He had an incident here at the shelter was one of the attendants took him out to show her brother and he jumped and nipped at him, so he does have a bite report on him. We do not believe he did this out of aggression but more out of excitement. We have tested him with a few people since and he has done fine. He has been fine with woman, men, and I personally have let him sniff my 8 month old son through a chain link fence. He didn’t care about any of them just wanted to be loved on. He is neutered and up to date on his shots. He has a scary bark but don't let that fool you, he is a goof ball that just wants a good back scratch. He does not have any food/toy aggression and honestly doesn’t care about much just wants to be with you.

Smalls is a handsome 5-year-old male Pit Bull who is just waiting for someone to give him the chance he deserves.
Smalls is a sweet guy who really wants to find his person and settle into a home where he can finally relax and feel safe. Right now, we believe Smalls would do best as the only dog in the home while he decompresses from the shelter and continues to gain confidence. That doesn't necessarily mean he can't live with another dog—we haven't seen him be outright bad with other dogs, and we believe he may be able to have a canine companion in the future with the right introduction and environment.
Smalls does have a bite record, but please don't let that automatically write him off. We would be more than happy to explain exactly what happened and answer any questions you may have. We believe understanding the circumstances is important, and we want potential adopters to have all the information they need to make the best decision for their family.
One thing Smalls will need some work on is his fence-climbing. If he sees something—or someone—he really wants to meet, he may try to climb the fence to get there! He will need a secure home and someone willing to help him work through this behavior.
Behind all of this is a sweet boy who deserves a chance to decompress, build confidence, and learn what it's like to be someone's beloved dog.
If you're willing to look past the kennel and get to know the dog underneath, Smalls would love to meet you. Come give this special guy a chance at the forever home he's been waiting for!

Meet Abbie! She's a 3 year old Pitbull Terrier who's about 50 pounds, spayed, and up to date on all her vetting! Abbie went through my training program at Wag More Dog Training almost 2 years ago and was a dream to work with! Unfortunately, she was in a home environment that was a little rough and broke down her confidence, so we've been focusing on re-socializing and building her back up while also getting her physically healthy again.
She is unsure and shy of new people, but warms up quickly if you're patient and have some treats! She absolutely loves children, she grew up with several and has done well around the infant in our home.

Meet Waffles! Waffles is a very sweet boy, plain and simple. We estimate he’s around two years old and already showing what a wonderful companion he’ll make. Waffles came into our rescue after being found abandoned in a crate outside of a PetSmart in Spring. Despite this rough start, he has remained gentle, trusting, and full of love. During his time at a boarding facility, Waffles has been an absolute gentleman. He’s quick to learn, eager to please, and clearly enjoys positive attention and guidance. His sweet nature and willingness to learn make him a joy to be around and a great candidate for continued training. Waffles is ready for a fresh start with a family who will give him the love and stability he deserves. If you’re looking for a young, affectionate pup with a heart of gold, Waffles might just be your perfect match. Waffles gets along well with other dogs.
