My story

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

Meet Tars — Our Lovable Gentle Giant!
Tars is a 4-year-old Great Dane mix with a heart as big as his paws. This handsome boy is full of love and personality — a true gentle giant who adores being close to his people. He knows his basic commands and is eager to please, especially when there are treats or cuddles involved!

Tars is an energetic pup who enjoys long walks and loves to gallop freely in the backyard. He would thrive in a home where he can stretch his legs and get plenty of playtime. While he does great on playdates with other dogs, Tars would be happiest as the only pet in the home — where he can soak up all the attention and affection he deserves.

He does experience a bit of separation anxiety, so he’d be perfect for someone who’s home often or ready to spoil him with extra love and comfort. Be warned — Tars is a bit of a bed hog, but you’ll find it hard to say no to his big, goofy grin and loving snuggles.

If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate companion who will fill your days with joy (and your couch with cuddles), Tars might just be your perfect match!

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Potential adopters must fill out an application and take part in an interview. This process helps us to make better matches between potential adopters and adoptable pets. It is provides the opportunity to educate a potential adopter on what to expect after he or she brings home a rescued pet. Once a potential adopter has been approved for adoption we require an adoption fee, which covers the spay or neuter and all age appropriate vaccines for cats, dogs, kittens and puppies. All of our animals are on monthly flea and tick preventative and all dogs and puppies are on monthly heartworm preventative. At the time of adoption we also require the adopter to sign a contract agreeing to provide a loving home with the appropriate vet care as well as food, water, and shelter. In the future, if for any reason the adopter can not keep the pet we require the pet to be returned to our care with the original adoption paperwork.

More about this rescue

We are a 501(c)(3) tax-deductible animal rescue organization whose mission is to save as many animals as possible. We work closely with Alachua County Animal Services to reduce euthanasias at the Alachua County shelter.



We adopt dogs and cats of all ages to good homes at the Gainesville Petsmart (Butler Plaza on Archer Rd, click for a map) every Saturday and Sunday. We have a great selection of adoptable animals, including puppies, adult dogs, small dogs, cats, and kittens. All of our animals have been started on vaccinations (depending on how long they have been with us, they may need further vaccinations after adoptions). All have been vet checked and treated for any notable illness. All dogs are heartworm negative and many have been through heartworm treatment in our program. Some of these animals may have special needs, all of which are discussed at time of adoption.



We often have specials on adult animal adoptions. Not that these animals have flaws, but they are slightly used and may not be perfect! These are adult animals looking for a permanent home and they have many different stories of their pasts and all deserve a second chance at the good life.
