Interested in adopting a pet — or just taking a peek at some cuddly canines? There are dozens of endearing dogs up for adoption at animal shelters in and around Virginia Beach.
Animal shelters work hard to care for unhoused pets and connect them to loving homes. Hoodline used data from Petfinder to power this roundup of dogs currently available for adoption.
(Details like pet availability, training, vaccinations and other features are based on data provided by Petfinder and may be subject to change; contact the shelter for the latest information.)

Grizzly grumbles and backtalks a lot but, if you call him on his bluff, he just gives up. This boy is all tough for show and a mushy lap dog on the inside!
Orihime, Akita
Orihime is a lovable female Akita dog currently housed at Rakki-Inu Akita Rescue. Orihime will get along great with your other dogs. She's mastered her house-training etiquette. She has all of her shots, and she's spayed. Notes from Orihime's caretakers: Apply to adopt Orihime today at Petfinder.
Orihime, or Hime, came to us from a family that could no longer care for her. They had reported some aggression with her, but we have not seen any. We did, however, notice that she moved oddly when having fun in the yard. When we took her to the vet, we discovered that her knees and one hip are congenitally bad. On her pain medication, she is a normal, happy puppy.

She is already house-trained. Rayleigh is already spayed, and she has all her shots. Rayleigh's current caretakers say: Read more about Rayleigh on Petfinder.
Rayleigh is super sweet with people but would prefer a home where she can be the only pet.

He has slowly opened up and is super sweet and fun! He loves other dogs and has enjoyed having teenage children in the home.
