unless he's owned a dog. He can show you more honest affection with the flick of his tail than a man can gather through a lifetime of handshakes." -- Gene Hill, The Dog Man |

Beacher is about 2 years old and weighs about 35 pounds. A lady found him during a bitterly cold period with bloody paws and in desperate need of care. Several weeks later, he is healthy and fattened up. He is a very sweet and cuddly beagle who loves to be picked up and loved on.
Beacher is gentle and good with kids, as well as with other dogs. He is free to roam in the house while his foster mom is at work, and is housetrained and not destructive. Some type of fenced yard is preferred because he doesn't like to do his "business" while on a leash! Beacher is not a big barker and is one cuddly beagle. Perhaps he is the perfect family pet you have been looking for?

Chloe is a sweet girl who is about 1 year old and is a couple of pounds underweight at 8 pounds. She is a mix of miniature Manchester Terrier and Min-Pin.
Her previous owner didn't have much time for her, so Chloe is enjoying her walks and exploring all the new sights and smells. She enjoys playing with the other dogs in her foster home, and is a little shy with people until she gets to know you. She also likes to relax on the couch in the evenings.

Diesel is a young male boxer, about 1-2 years old, approximately 50 pounds. He's very friendly and seems to be comfortable indoors, but you should assume the responsibility for house training. He is not accustomed to a crate but is ok with it and is getting used to it in his foster home without any problems.
You can contact Diesel's foster home (near Charlottesville) at vadogrescue@aol.com.

This dog is being posted here as a courtesy for his owner.
Jack is a 7 year old, 85 pound, neutered male Newfoundland mix. We are having to find Jack a new home because he has anxiety issues around small children and some other animals. He is a very loving and kind dog but needs the right person to bond with who can give him lots of TLC. Jack loves to be outside and would make a wonderful companion in a home with no small children or other animals. If interested in adopting Jack, please contact us at lmangiaracina@k12albemarle.org or mullinex@k12albemarle.org This dog is not part of Animal Connections and is not being adopted through Animal Connections. The contact listed is for the owners and there is no relationship with or connection to Animal Connections, Inc. All of our pets are fostered in homes in and around the Charlottesville, Va area. Adoption fee is $175 which includes all vaccines, heartworm test and spay/neuter.

| Miss Bea is a spunky little black and tan dachshund mix with brown brindle highlights. Like most doxies, she loves to cuddle and be petted.
Bea is eager to please her family and loves playing with the children in her foster home. She does not mind the other small breed dogs but is intimated by the rotti/doberman who wants to play. She has made herself at home on the back of the sofa in her foster home but is eager to find a family of her own. Miss Bea acts like a typical dachshund so it may be helpful if her adoptive family is familiar with the breed. She needs to go to a home with another dog for company, and a fenced yard would be preferable so she can zoom around with her dog sibling(s).

| Teddy Bee is a 4 year old black and white Chihuahua who is an absolute doll. Shortly after being rescued she gave birth to 3 cute little puppies on Nov 30. The father was likely another small Chihuahua that was turned into the shelter with her (already adopted).
Teddy Bee is a smart dog, is housetrained, and very polite inside. She learned what "go to your bed" meant after only a few days in her foster home. She walks like a pro on the leash and even follows her foster mom off-leash. Small children scare little Teddy Bee, so she will do better in a home of adults or teen children only If you are interested in adopting Teddy Bee, a visit can be arranged now, although you would have to wait until the puppies are weaned before taking her home. All of our pets are fostered in homes in and around the Charlottesville, Va area. Adoption fee is $175 which includes all vaccines, heartworm test and spay/neuter.

| Teddy Pup Pup is a beagle mix of some sort, who is probably about a year old. He is a little shy but is a scrappy fellow who can hold his own with the big dogs in his foster home.
Adoption fee is $175 which includes all vaccines, heartworm test and spay/neuter.

| Brady is a 5 month old Rottweiler mix. He's a typical rottie pup, very outgoing and friendly, very playful. Brady can be protective of his food, but he eats with other dogs without difficulty. Fenced yard required. Brady will use a crate, but at this age I can't say that he's housetrained. He loves playing with other dogs. You can contact Brady's foster home at vadogrescue@aol.com
Adoption fee is $175 which includes all vaccines, heartworm test and spay/neuter.

Spice is a sweet 2 year old red purebred miniature poodle who weighs 12-13 pounds. She was used as a backyard breeder until her owner got ill and turned her in to the shelter. She is very shy and not used to being indoors or around people.
Her foster mom says Spice is a very easy dog to take care of. Spice would love to stay on her bed all day long because that is where she feels safe. She will wag her tail on occasion, and gets along with other dogs, although she doesn't play with them. Her adopter should be experienced in working with shy dogs and help Spice become used to the life of an indoor pet rather than caged breeder.
