About Ukulele

Click apply and let the tail-wagging begin! Ukulele has been patiently waiting for three years and is ready to find his forever couch. When he first arrived at animal control, life was overwhelming and stressful for him, but thanks to dedicated trainers and wonderful foster homes, Ukulele has truly blossomed. In his foster home, he's discovered the joy of lounging on the sofa, playful toys, and calm walks—the little things that make a dog's world complete. With a quieter environment and patient companions, his confidence has grown. He adores romping in a fenced yard where he feels safe and loves his crate as a cozy retreat. Ukulele is great with dogs, cats, and even children, though he’ll appreciate kids who respect his sensitivity and give him time to settle in. He thrives as part of a dog pack and is happiest when surrounded by canine friends. This shy, goofy foxhound is a testament to the power of patience—he might take time to open up, but he's well worth every moment. Available for adoption throughout the US and Canada, with transport provided at no extra cost. Currently in Urbanna, VA, he’s hoping his next adventure is with you. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.

About Foxhound Dogs

Foxhounds are athletic, friendly scent hounds bred for pack hunting. They are social, easygoing, and gentle, with incredible stamina and a keen sense of smell. Their lean, muscular build and musical voice reflect generations of selective breeding for the hunt.

Adopting a Foxhound brings a sweet-natured, social companion into your family. They thrive with other dogs and are gentle with children. Their pack mentality means they prefer company and do best in homes where they are not left alone for long periods.

Adopting in Chesapeake, VA

Chesapeake's scenic waterways and family-friendly neighborhoods make it an ideal city for pet adoption. Local shelters in the Hampton Roads area have many wonderful animals ready for their forever homes in this nature-rich community.

Local Climate & Pet Care

Winter

32°F to 50°F

Dec – Feb

Mild winters with occasional nor’easters that can bring rain, sleet, or wet snow. Most days are comfortable for regular outdoor routines along Chesapeake’s waterways. The mild, humid climate supports year-round flea and tick activity, so maintain prevention treatments through winter.

Spring

42°F to 72°F

Mar – May

Warming temperatures and blooming landscapes make spring ideal for exploring the Great Dismal Swamp trails with your pet. Pollen is heavy in the Hampton Roads area, so rinse your pet’s coat after outdoor time. Mosquitoes emerge early due to the many waterways, so start repellent routines.

Summer

68°F to 88°F

Jun – Aug

Hot and humid with frequent afternoon thunderstorms. Schedule walks for early morning and seek shaded routes near the waterways. The high humidity increases the risk of heat exhaustion, so carry water and watch for heavy panting. Flea, tick, and mosquito prevention is critical this time of year.
