Keevah Brown

March, 2013 - November 24th 2014

Jessica went to the shelter one day, with no intentions of getting a new pet, and by the time she left, she knew Keevah was meant to be part of her family.

Keevah didn't really like toys but she loved her pineapple shaped bed. Keevah also loved to climb, cuddle and snack.

Jessica says it’s hard to choose a favorite memory when they were all amazing; however she always loved it, when Keevah would curl up on my chest.

Charlie Young

Born in Missouri in 2003; Charlie’s early years are unclear until he was adopted by the Young family in November, 2005.

Charlie instantly won the hearts of his new family. He would sit and shake hands on command. Charlie’s favorite toy was a rawhide bone.

Charlie is survived by his human parents, Guy and Alice Young, his human brothers and sisters, Jon, Wendi, Ian and Ryan, Dean and Beth Fowler; his Aunt Rachel, and many dear friends.

Beldachs’ Oliver O’Keeffe (“Ollie”)

Born April 19, 2004 in Berryville, VA, Ollie is one of 7 Longhaired Dachshunds (4 boys and 3 girls) born to CH. Merritudox OC Dandy Reveur (“Danny”) and CH. Beldachs’ Meri Amour d’Ami (“MiMi”). Gary and Connie Fisher whelped the litter and raised Ollie from birth.

Ollie was happy about everything he did (except being the show ring!) He loved to play in the yard, use the agility equipment, hunt or play with any stuffed toy available! Sticking out his tongue and smiling was Ollie’s special trick, as well as standing on his rear two legs for cookies.

Tristia Moyers

Born December 12, 2012 in Winchester, VA and immediately won Theresa’s heart. It was love at first sight! Tristia was born at the Moyers neighbors’ home. Theresa couldn’t wait to bring Tristia home, finally at 5 weeks she did. From the beginning Tristia, nicknamed Poo, was the most loving and caring little girl.

Nico Harrison

Spring of 1996, a cat was dropped off at the Harrison home; soon after, kittens arrived. Trish Harrison picked one special kitten out of the litter as her own and named him, Nico.

Nico was born in Cross Junction, VA in April, 1996. She was such a timid little girl. Trish remembers how scared she was when she brought her inside. She said Nico would hide under the bed; finally, one night, she jumped on the bed and slept with her.

Violet Gunterina Carr

Violet was born in Youngstown, OH on December 15, 2002. She was soon adopted by Travis Carr from the breeder.

Violet enjoyed long walks and riding in the car. She always looked forward to visiting her grandparents and their three Jack Russell Terriers. Violet would sit, speak and jump on command. And she loved her favorite toy, a long colorful worm; as well as eating everything, including lunch boxes and chocolate.

Spot "Poodie" Evans

Spot was born August 11, 1999 at the home of John and Victoria McInturff in Mountain Falls, Frederick County, VA. Lisa noticed an ad in the newspaper, “puppies” and called. She fell in love with Spot immediately and home with her she went!

Sweetie Hodnett

It is always hard to say goodbye to a beloved family member, which is exactly what Sweetie was – and more! We will never forget the day she came into our lives and into her FOREVER home 10 years ago. We found Sweetie wandering at our apartment complex and immediately fell in love with her; like any responsible pet parents we put up signs so she could reunite with her family. Little did we know that she would escape and end up with us for a second time.

Tiny Byrd

9/17/99 – 6/7/14

When Ashley Byrd’s babysitter told her she was moving and had to take Tiny to the pound because she was unable to take her with her; Ashley said, “I’m taking her!” And so she did; loving Tiny for the next 15 years.

Tiny’s favorite things were playing fetch and belly rubs. She enjoyed her favorite toy, which happened to be a rubber flea. And Tiny could play dead on demand!
