Meet 2412-0375 BJ

BJ is not new to the shelter environment. From what I understand, he has been in and out of the shelter a few times as a stray but always reclaimed. No such luck this time. Let's go ahead and start with the obvious...we are looking for a new family who is ready, willing and able to keep this young and adventurous boy in a home or yard and not give him the ability to escape and roam free.  He is definitely full of life.  He loves to run and he loves to play but mostly he seems to want to be at your side where he can get some yummy treats!  BJ will jump on you if you don't entertain him, he's a bit demanding, yes.  With his pushy attitude, BJ will need some patience and attention. Some daily training will also be super helpful to help him curb those puppy-like behaviors of jumping and grabbing and mouthiness.  BJ will likely respond really well to training as he seems very into his humans. This will also help form that bond you will have forever. BJ is currently in a back kennel so if you don't see him, please just ask.

Adoption Process
1.Persons interested in adopting an animal are encouraged to visit the Care & Adoption Center. Some animals can go home right away, where others must be held for a few days before they can be released. Available adoptable animals are publicly viewable during our normal business hours. 2.All citizens regardless of City of residence are welcome to adopt spayed or neutered dogs and cats from the Animal Care & Adoption Center. All dogs and cats available for adoption through the shelter will be spayed or neutered prior to adopter possession. 3.All dogs and cats adopted from our Care & Adoption Center are given their vaccinations including rabies vaccination. Dogs are heartworm tested and cats are tested for FIV/Feline Leukemia. It is recommended that all adopters have their new pet examined by a licensed veterinarian within 10 days of adoption. Routine health care for the life of your pet is very important. It is vitally important for adopters to locate a veterinarian/veterinary establishment for continued care. Adopters can visit​​ the Department of Health Professions website to assist in locating a licensed veterinarian. Virginia Beach Animal Care and Adoption Center takes the adoption of a pet very seriously and wants to help adopters and the new pet make a smooth transition into the home. If you are considering pet adoption, we encourage you to ask questions of our staff in order to make the best decision for your family. Pet ownership is a life-long responsibility. 4.Persons who reside in Virginia Beach are required to purchase a Virginia Beach City License at the time of adoption. 5.In order to adopt, interested adopters will complete a species specific adoption questionnaire/application and all dogs and cats already owned by the potential adopter are required to be current on rabies vaccines and City license (if applicable in the City of residence) at the time of adoption from the VBACAC. 6.Persons who reside in a rental property are required to show proof that the animal being adopted is permitted at residence. 7.Persons with a prior conviction of animal cruelty, failure to provide adequate care, or domestic violence related offenses will not be permitted to adopt from the VBACAC.
