My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hello, Dolly! So, that's the name of a Broadway show but more immediately, my name, too.
I can't help but sing a line or two from the show but with a major change.
"It's so nice to have ME (not you) back where I belong." Yes, methinks I belong in my furever home with you.
I'd luv to go on a doggy date or sleepover so we can bond and get to know one another. Have kiddos? No prob. They can play with me before we chill on the couch, one of my fave places to relax.
I'm a 47-pound gal who's grasped basic commands but show me a toy and that'll accelerate my learning curve for additional manners. Spoiler alert: I have the rep for being a tad mouthy but that's just how I get when I'm excited.
So stop by soon and we can go into the yard and belt out some show tunes!

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

We hope you meet your four-legged love at SPCA Florida! Our goal is to help you find a companion that best suits your household. We have wonderful animals available and a great deal of information to share with you.

Adoption Process
When you arrive at the Adoption Center we invite you to take a look around and meet the animals. We encourage you and your family to spend time with each pet you are interested in to see which is the best fit. Our trained staff and volunteers are happy to answer questions about the animals and provide you with whatever background information we have regarding that pet. Please keep in mind we do not always know all of the adoptable animals’ history or background depending on how they arrived at SPCA Florida.

If you currently have a dog at home we recommend you bring him or her in to interact with your potential new dog.

When you find a pet you would like to adopt the next step is to fill out an Adoption Application, which will be reviewed with you by one of our trained counselors. The counselors will answer any questions you may have. If the pet is already sterilized he or she can go home the same day, otherwise the surgery is normally scheduled the next day and the pet can go home the day of surgery.

Adoption Fees
Adoption fees vary depending on species, breed and age. The fee includes:

•Spay/Neuter surgery for unsterilized pets
•Dogs are dewormed, tested for heartworms (if negative they receive a 30-day heartworm preventative; if positive a certificate for treatment paid for by the Guardian Angel Fund) and receive vaccinations for canine distemper, adenovirus type 2, parainfluenza, parvovirus and Rabies
•Cats are dewormed, tested for feline leukemia and feline aids and receive vaccinations for feline distemper, rhinotracheitis, calici virus and Rabies
•microchip
•SPCA ID tag
•Dog leash or cat carrier
•Educational material

Other supplies are available for purchase in our adoption center lobby.
