About this Dog

Bogey, age 3, 60 pounds, pit bull/boxer Bogey is in danger of being euthanized if a placement can not be found for him by November 5th. I have contacted 18 rescues so far with no luck. Bogey needs help! He is a handsome big goofy three year old pitbull/boxer mix. He is great with people, affectionate and silly. Bogey and smart and eager to please. He knows how to sit and shake and walks well on a leash. He is not good with other animals. He did live with a lab in his former home but seems reactive when he goes past dogs at the shelter. He has not been tested with children but given how much he likes people, he may be good with them. Older children would likely be best because he is a big boy. Bogey came to the Fluvanna SPCA in Troy, VA. because he allegedly killed a cat and was a problem with livestock. It seems that he was allowed to run at large. His owner was taken to court. The court awarded custody of him to our shelter with the stipulation that he had to be placed somewhere outside of Virginia. He also can not be transferred to any states contiguous to VA. This shows just how prevalent breed discrimination is. He had an incident 2 weeks ago. One of the staff was taking him out for a walk. Bogey became very upset with the pit bull in the kennel near him. He redirected and bit the staff member on the leg. He realized right away that he had made a mistake. Bogey is not a bad dog. He needs to get out of the shelter and find a place that will help him find a happy home. Bogey is healthy and up to date on all of his vaccinations. He is not neutered. Once we have a solid commitment for placement, we will have him neutered. We can not warehouse him as he has no chance for a placement here. We want to find some place he can go where he will be safe, loved and cared for. Any help you can give us would be greatly appreciated. Bogey deserves a chance! Thanks so much! I look forward to hearing from you- Time is of the essence! Pam VanDerbeek Fluvanna SPCA Board Member/Volunteer 434 981-4933 434 973-5852 Shelter 434 591-0123 [email protected] 4 Attachments

Adopt Bogey and Receive Dogecoin

Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Bogey's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised. Dogecoin is digital currency that can be exchanged for cash, traded, or held as an investment (see the "What is Dogecoin" section below).

How will Bogey receive the Dogecoin?


The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the Dogecoin. If you adopted the Bogey, thank you for providing a home and a loving family! Please begin the process of claiming Bogey's Dogecoin here.


For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the Dogecoin by submitting the necessary information.


The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the Dogecoin. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Bogey was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Bogey’s Dogecoin balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.




What is Dogecoin?

Learn more about it on youtube or at dogecoin.com.




What happens to unclaimed funds?


We want the Bogey’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Bogey’s balance will remain in our general Dogecoin fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
