But June's story is also one of heartbreak. As the days turn into months, her hopes of finding a forever home dwindle. She's a photogenic pup who dreams of posing in her own family photos, but for now, she's stuck in a shelter. #spca #petadoption #adoptme #dogsky

This fun-loving girl LOVES being active! She's a natural-born explorer who'd thrive on hikes, playing with toys, and riding shotgun in the car. June's a fast learner, too – she picks up hand signals with ease and is eager to please. #adoptdontshop #dogsky #adoptme #virginia #deafdog

Although he's learning, Gus will need to continue learning leash and obedience manners. Gus does have issues with barriers. Please take the time to ask to meet him outside the run!

Meet him outside the run, and you'll fall in love for Valentine's Day with his goofy, happy personality.

Wall-E can be intimidating behind the barrier, but trust us, he's different outside the run! The only way Wall-E can express his frustration at being cooped up for so long is through his behavior.

88 days and counting...Wall-E is still looking for his Valentine. He is an (almost) 2-year-old mixed breed dog with loads of energy who loves to be outside.

Amos got to experience his first Doggie Day Out, and boy, did he surpass our expectations and enjoy himself immensely! Amos may act very scary here at the SPCA, but he is really just making himself look big and bad because he is a timid boy at heart. #adoptdontshop #dogsofbluesky #dogsky
