- The Virginian-Pilot has created a new holiday tradition, “The 12 Strays of Christmas,” that will feature an adoptable pet each day until Dec. 21. Not all of the animals are strays; some might have been relinquished by their owners. They are all adorable, however, and ready for permanent homes.
Diamond lights up when you approach her cage. She wants out; she wants the freedom back; she wants to be part of a family again. She is between 1 and 5 years old, house-trained and great on a leash. She is a snuggler and most likely would prefer being the only dog in the home for a while. She is spayed.

Granola should not be judged by her cover, literally. Where her fur should be beautiful and black and bright, it is on the other hand, dull, missing and messy. Her little 50-pound body has pink and red spots almost to the point of raw. Her appearance has been improving since she was put on meds, and her missing fur has no damper on her personality. She is friendly and loves to play. Granola seems to be used to having humans near her. She is estimated to be 1 to 5 years old.

- T.T. was a gift to a girl with an autoimmune disease, but a pet was too much for the family to cope with. T.T. loves the outdoors, is good about using a scratching pad and loves playing with string toys. He will jump in your lap but does not like to be cuddled for long. He is 9 years old and a sweet fellow, but he takes some time to adjust to other cats and may not do well in close quarters. He would do well in a family that does not have small children, his owners said. He is considered a "senior" cat, and seniors are always free to seniors on Wednesdays.

Shamrock is said to be house-trained and good with other dogs. He knows his basic commands. He adores a game of fetch, although he may keep the ball for himself once he fetches it.

- Description
- Luna was at the Virginia Beach Animal Care & Adoption Center four years ago. She was 3 at the time and was adopted by a family that had several children; the environment was great because the playful and energetic Luna loves kids. The family, however, had to bring her back due to financial reasons.
Luna is house-trained, loves snuggling in bed and gets along well with cats, and some dogs. Some mornings the staff arrive and find Luna her in other dogs’ cages; she jumps over the cage wall when she is lonely.
But she was bitten by a dog when she was with her family and does not trust all canines. The shelter suggests bringing in other family dogs to meet Luna to see how they interact.
Otherwise, the 65-pound pit bull terrier mix should be considered an only dog, and needs a family that can provide her with daily exercise and love. She pulls at her leash but that’s in the shelter. It is believed that may subside once she finds a home.

- Description
- Zinnia has come a long way since The Cat Corner took her and her three kittens from an open-intake shelter.
She was a good mother to her litter, but she became depressed for a short period and stopped producing milk and eating. After being given love and attention while in foster care, she was able to better care for her babies, which have all been adopted.
Zinnia, now 5, has been at the center since April 2016.
Zinnia is finally showing her affectionate side, though it will take a bit of time for her to warm up to new people. Once she does, she chirps to get attention and arches her back as if to say, “Come and scratch me.”
Zinnia likes perching in a cat tree and watching birds outdoors. She is good with other cats and handles mild-mannered puppies well. Zinnia would do best in a home with older children because she can be shy around loud noises.
