Gender: Female
ID:

Notes: Meet Nelly: This gorgeous girl was turned in by her owner into a kill shelter. How could anyone abandon a cutie pie like this?? Miss Nelly is a pekingese/shih tzu mix and is a major sweetheart. She loves to be where her humans are and is very quiet. She is 9 or 10 years young. She gets along fine with cats and dogs. She needs to be in a home with adults only. Nelly had a bladder stone when we first brought her home and had that removed. There is a possibility that one may return. We are feeding her a special diet to help reduce the chance. Nelly has lots of personality and will make someone the best companion. Please call her foster mom Diane at 804-752-2814 today.

poodle: cotton

Poodle Mix

Size: Small
Age: Senior
Gender: Male
ID:

Notes: Meet sweet Cotton…this baby is approx. 10 years young and still has lots of love to give. He was rescued from the Louisa pound and was found as a stray. He was groomed at the time he came into the pound, so he had to have been someone’s pet. When he came into the pound, he had a wound on his shoulder – the pound thinks he was attacked by an animal while he was out there alone. The wound has completely healed and his fur is growing back in nicely. He also has a fatty tumor on his belly that is completely harmless and will be removed shortly. Cotton is a very loving dog who is housetrained and would make a great companion. He gets along well with cats and dogs. He is neutered, current on shots and heartworm free. Please call his foster mom Diane @ 752-2814 and meet Cotton soon.

retriever: breed

A retriever is a type of gun dog that retrieves game for a hunter. Generally gundogs are divided into three major classifications: retrievers, flushing spaniels, and pointing breeds. Retrievers were bred primarily to retrieve birds or other prey and return them to the hunter without damage. Although spaniels and some pointing breeds routinely retrieve game, and many retrievers are skilled in finding game, retrievers are distinguished in that non-slip retrieval is their primary function. As a result, retriever breeds are bred for soft mouths and a great willingness to please, learn, and obey. A soft mouth refers to the willingness of the dog to carry game without damaging it. “Hard mouth” is a serious fault in a hunting dog and is one that is very difficult to correct. A hard-mouthed dog renders game unpresentable or at worst inedible.
The retriever’s willingness to please and trainability have made retrievers such as the Labrador Retriever and Golden Retriever popular as assistance dogs.

yorkshire terrier: breed

The Yorkshire Terrier, (often called simply the Yorkie), is a breed of small dog in the toy category. The long-haired terrier is known for its playful demeanor and distinctive blue and tan coat. Yorkies can be very small, usually weighing between 5 and 7 pounds (2.5 to 3.5 kilograms). Based on registrations, Yorkshire Terriers became the #2 most popular dog breed in the United States in 2006 according to the American Kennel Club, trailing only the Labrador Retriever.

The Yorkshire Terrier breed standard specifies that the dog should have a compact build and hold itself in an upright manner, conveying a confident and self-assured demeanor (a reflection of its temperament). The Yorkie’s appearance should be one of spirit, intelligence and vigor. In dog shows, a Yorkie that appears sullen or lifeless will be penalized.[ Underneath the Yorkie’s silky coat, its body is athletic and sturdy, designed for an active life. When trotting about, the Yorkie has a free, jaunty gait, with both head and tail held high. For Yorkies, toy stature does not mean frail or fragile
