Carma & Tino

Our adoptable bonded senior pair Carma (silly girl on the floor) and Tino are still on the search for their forever home. These two have been in our care going on almost six months and although they get daily walks together, what they really would like is a nice bed to curl up on together. Carma is turning 12 this year and Tino is approximately 9-10. They arrived together as strays and sadly no one came forward to claim them. Both are fixed so there are no adoption restrictions. Tino is a social butterfly, who seems to get along with any dog friend he meets. Carma usually does well with calmer, mostly male pups but as Tino is the yin to her yang, who can blame her? Both have been introduced to cats and although were curious, did not seem particularly phased. They have met children here at the shelter and did great. These two are peas in a pod and do great together on walks. Tino can be possessive with his toys and Carma does not like to share food (taking treats is not an issue) so playtimes should be monitored if toys are involved. These two definitely do not act their ages and senior pups make phenomenal pets. Please come meet this dynamic duo and give them the home they so rightfully deserve. Adoptions are conducted on a first-come, first-served basis and both Carma and Toni’s adoption fees have been waived. Adoptions conclude half an hour before closing and potential adopters should be prepared to provide a picture ID and/or proof of residency if the ID does not depict the current address. We are located at 26 Frosty Lane, Stafford, VA 22554 and are open from 11AM-5:30PM Monday through Friday, and 9:30AM-4Pm on Saturdays. Please share to help us find these two their forever family!

🚨 Special Boy Looking for a Special Home 🚨 Meet Kimbo, the gentle giant with a heart as big as his head! ❤️ This approximately 5-year-old sweetheart came to us earlier this month as an owner surrender, and we knew right away that something was a little different about him. A trip to the vet confirmed our suspicions—our best guess is that Kimbo suffered a stroke when he was younger, possibly due to complications from anesthesia during his (less-than-professionally-done) ear crop. Because of this, Kimbo has some nerve and reflex issues on his right side. You might notice his adorable little tongue always hanging out, or how he leans on walls and people for support—especially when he sneezes or shakes his head. But don’t let that fool you—Kimbo is a lovebug of epic proportions and just wants to be someone’s oversized lap dog. 🐶💙 🐾 Kimbo has done well with other dogs, though he’s not overly playful. He’d do best with a calm companion who won’t roughhouse too much (his balance isn’t great, and let’s be honest, no one wants to be body-slammed unexpectedly). A meet-and-greet is required to ensure a good match! Due to Kimbo not being neutered yet, adoption location restrictions will apply. 💙 If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate pup who just needs a little extra support (literally), Kimbo might be your guy! Come meet him today at Stafford County Animal Shelter—we’re open 11:00 AM - 5:30 PM. 📍 26 Frosty Lane, Stafford, VA 22554 ☎️ (540) 658-7387 Give Kimbo the forever home he deserves! 🏡🐾 #adoptkimbo #specialdogspecialhome #staffordcountyanimalshelter #adoptdontshop

Ti o & Carma

💔 150 Days and Counting... 💔 Today marks a heartbreaking milestone at Stafford County Animal Shelter. Tino and Carma, our dynamic duo, have now been with us for 150 days. 150 days of waiting. 150 days of hoping. 150 days of wondering why no one has come for them. We’ve posted about them several times, yet when people visit, no one asks to meet these two. And honestly? We’re dumbfounded. Tino and Carma are amazing. They’re goofy, loving, and full of personality—everything you could want in a pair of best friends. Our hearts ache for them with each passing day. They don’t deserve to spend another night in a shelter. They deserve a couch, warm cuddles, and someone to call their own. Could that someone be you? Tino is a neutered 9-year-old boy with a playful spirit, and Carma is a spayed 11-year-old girl with a heart of gold. They’re bonded, which means they’re looking for a home together—and trust us, two is better than one! Let’s make today the day their wait ends. Let’s make day 150 their last day in a shelter. Are you the one who can give these lovable goofs the forever home they’ve been dreaming of? 📍 Come meet them today at Stafford County Animal Shelter. They’re ready to fill your life with love. ❤️
