About Virginia

Meet Virginia !! This sweet pup and her siblings were born here in the rescue to a dog that we took in from a shelter. She is currently 9 weeks old. Her mom appears to be a rat terrier mix. Mom is only 20 pounds full grown. We have no idea what dad was. We suspect he will be small to medium full grown. She will get vaccines, dewormed, spayed, and a microchip as part of her adoption. VIRGINIA- Black- 6 Pounds- Female-Virginia is very independent and adventurous. She loves being active and discovering what's happening around her. She also enjoys cuddling. As soon as you sit down on the floor, she's right there, ready to curl up on your lap. She's currently learning how to bark. She also loves playing and toys. She gives the best puppy kisses. *** Puppies are very young and their full personalities have not developed. They may change as they grow and become independent from each other *** Virginia loves other dogs and loves people. She is fine with children. She has no experience with cats, but is still young enough to learn and be trained around them. She has not started crate training as she is still with the mom. There will likely be some sleepless nights as she first adjusts to being apart from siblings in the new home and with crate training. Being so young she does not have much training yet. She will need her owners to help with learning leash walking, potty training, socialization and basic manners. Please do not adopt a puppy unless you're willing to put that work in. Virginia has not had any trouble sharing food treats and toys with humans or other dogs. She is a happy curious and fun pup. She loves to explore and play but is also sweet and cuddly. Really fun to have around with all her puppy antics and loving nature. So far she has a medium to high energy level. She will need lots of playtime and both mental and physical exercise every single day. Puppies not given proper exercise can display destructive behaviors and have difficulty with training and manners. How they turn out is largely up to how much effort and time your family puts into them now. They all have the potential to be wonderfully trained and well behaved dogs. Adopting a young puppy is a ton of work. They will have lots of potty accidents, chew things up etc. You will need to help them learn things like leash walking, crate training and basic manners. It can be a lot of work but the reward is a dog that fits well into your family's lifestyle if you invest proper time on training with them. Please carefully consider the time and effort a puppy requires before adopting. We do NOT adopt siblings into the same family. Before commenting on how sad etc, you feel that is please google 'littermate syndrome' so you can understand why we take this precaution. It is done in the best interest of the puppies. Vet and home checks required. Located in Hampton VA. (She will need to be adopted within a 1 hour drive radius) �'�%BC��%8FPlease message [email protected] or to see more photos and get a faster response message our Facebook Page directly with questions or to get an application �'�%BC��%8F
