Mixed Breed Dogs Available for Adoption in Roanoke, Virginia

Meet Skipper! Skipper is 7 years old and one of 16 dogs who recently made the journey to us from Puerto Rico in search of a brighter future.

From the Vieques Humane Society: This golden boy is as mellow as they come. He loves to lounge around for most of the day, especially after enjoying his walks. Skipper appreciates his quiet time curled up in
his bed and does well with other dogs. He’s house trained and absolutely loves belly
scratches.

Skipper is simply looking for someone to share his golden years with—relaxing, unwinding, and enjoying the simple things in life together. His owner unexpectedly had to leave the island and, heartbreakingly, couldn’t take him along. Now Skipper is ready for a new home where he can settle in and be loved.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
