Hi, I'm Christopher (Adoption Pending)and I am 15 pounds of small dog attitude. I have a tough exterior but a heart of gold. Human laps are a favorite place of mine and my eyes can melt steel. I am good with other dogs and with older kids, I am wary of strangers, but I warm up quickly, when I know that you will not hurt me. I probably would do best as the only dog.

Hi, my name is Fletcher and I will make a great family pet. My favorite thing is belly rubs and staying by your side or lying on your foot. I enjoy playing with other dogs but I am often the underdog. Although I am a big boy, I am also a big wimp. I look forward to my evening walks and I enjoy meeting people. I would prefer a fenced in yard where I can explore without abandon and catch some sun after breakfast. I have been neutered and am up to date on all shots.

Paco	Pipper (adoption pending)

Hey out there, we are Paco and Pipper and we were rescued from a back yard breeder! We were flea and tick infested and were living in a home-made pen!! The breeder said that one of the pups disappeared and he thought a snake or hawk got it!! A nice person bought us so we wouldn't have to live in that situation and brought us to an AARF volunteer.

We were probably born in May or June of 2010. As of 8/2010, we weigh 8 pounds (Paco) and 2 pounds (Pipper).

Hi, my name is PIP (as in Pipsqueak) and I am about 6 weeks old and weigh 5 pounds (8/10/2010). It looks like I may be mixed with Dachshund and will probably be a small little guy. Right now I am just working on growing and being strong. I have gained a whole half pound since this weekend so I am doing a great job! I loved to be held and am very gentle and love to give stinky little puppy kisses. I have only met one of the cats in the house so far and had no idea what it was. Next week I may get to meet some of the other things I hear barking somewhere in the house, how exciting! I will let you know how that goes.

Hi, my name is Ralph and I am a 3 to 4 month old Plott Hound mix. (8/10/2010). I weigh about 15 pounds, but am growing fast! I have gained 4 pounds since this weekend!! I am all paws, legs and puppy belly. I have made absolute best friends with the big dogs that live here, though I wear them out, they can barely keep up with me? hehehehe. I am all puppy, wild and crazy, cute and cuddly. I am starting to work on going potty outside and am doing much better than my foster parents expected. I was found all alone looking very tiny and scared in a big run at a local shelter. I am happy as a clam now and looking for a home that can handle my exuberance for life.

Hi, my name is Ramona and I am part of a litter of all girls. We are outgoing, social pups. We will be about 50-60 pounds fully grown and will need a fenced yard. We are happy, feisty, fun loving pups who have shown no fear of new things.

Watch out if I'm up high because yes, I will jump!! I like to follow my foster mom all around and I like to learn new tricks. I do get a little lonely in my crate if I'm by myself. I'd much rather be sleeping with you. And, if you're real careful, I promise I'll housebreak real fast. I'm the adventurous one. If I were human, I'd probably be a sky diver.

Hi, my name is Willey and I am a very affectionate dog that loves to cuddle and snuggle, and give lots of kisses. I get along extremely well with cats (in fact he cuddles with his foster cat) and other dogs. I am not an alpha dog, and am very laid back, and will not upset the routine or order of existing pets. I am also very tolerant and sweet with young, spirited children! I am exceptionally well trained on the leash, and I love to be taken running, and on long walks. I also love to ride in the car, but what dog doesn't?!

I am house trained, I need to be crated when left home alone - I still have a little separation anxiety. I also don't really like bad thunder storms and I tend to get anxious and frets - just give me a little extra TLC and I am fine. I love to stay close to my humans and will make a wonderful companion for anyone lucky enough to adopt him. My foster home thinks I am such a joy to have.

Hi, my name is Toby and I am a year old (10/2009) neutered lab/pit bull mix weighing around 55 pounds. I'm a friendly, energetic boy, and I still act very much like a puppy. My former owners left me chained up in their back yard after they moved out, and they never came back for me...!! I was so scared, and I didn't have any food, until a very nice lady came and found me. I had cut my nose very badly on some wire, so she took me to the vet and he had to re-attach my nose....!! I have some scars, but my nose is all healed up now and doesn't hurt anymore.

The nice lady could not keep me because pit bulls and pit bull mixes are not allowed where she lives, so she contacted some rescues for help. My foster dad drove all the way to Tennessee to get me, and then he took me back to Richmond. After I came to my foster home, the vet found out that I had heartworms, but now I've finished my heartworm treatment and I'm all better.

I love people a lot, and I'm very good with older children. I like to play with my ball in the yard, and I love playing in the water. I do get excited when I see other dogs and cats, because my foster mom thinks I wasn't socialized very well with other animals when I was younger. My foster family is working on getting me used to other animals, and I'm improving every day, but right now I would really do best as an only pet. I'm very smart, and I'm learning how to walk on a leash, and "sit" for treats. I'm also neutered, housebroken, crate-trained, and current on all my vaccinations. I had a rough start in life, but now I'm doing great, and I know there's a home somewhere that's just right for me.
