My story

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

Pepperoni’s journey began on the streets of Mexico, where he had to rely on quiet courage and instinct to find his way. Life wasn’t always easy for him, and as a result, he can be a bit tentative at first—watching, waiting, and making sure he’s safe. But once this handsome lab mix decides you’re a friend, his whole personality opens up like sunshine through the clouds.



Underneath his cautious exterior is one of the sweetest boys you’ll ever meet. Pepperoni becomes affectionate, playful, and genuinely joyful once he feels comfortable. He loves gentle pets, soft words, and all the attention you’re willing to give.



This sweet survivor has a lovely, mellow playfulness—he enjoys toys, loves exploring the world on his walks, and delights in simple moments of connection. His gentle spirit and kind eyes speak volumes about the loving companion he’s ready to be.



Pepperoni is looking for a patient, caring family who will give him the time he needs to trust and the love he deserves. In return, he’ll give you loyalty, quiet sweetness, and a bond that feels truly special.



PLEASE NOTE: All your current pets must be spayed/neutered, vaccinated and on heartworm prevention to adopt from Polka Dogz. We only adopt in Florida. All adoption fees go to help all the dogs in the rescue, some of which require extensive medical care. Thank you for caring for the greater good. Adoption fee is $200 and you can adopt me at www.polkadogz.org.

Additional adoption info

FIRST step is to fill out a pre adoption application (www.polkadogz.org). We check vet references, personal references and do home visits before adopting any pet. We also help match the right pet to the right home. All current pets in household must be spayed/neutered and on heartworm prevention (very important)
Adoption fees help us support all the dogs in our rescue, some of which cost thousands in medical bills. Thank you for caring about the greater good!

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

Typically, meet and greets are done after the application is approved and the home visit is completed. We also bring our dogs to the occasional event. You can track our events on our Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/polkadogz/.

More about this rescue

We strive to educate the public on responsible pet ownership. We rescue many dogs with heartworms, injuries nad those who have been victims of severe neglect and/or abuse. Maverick is a perfect example. He is paralyzed and we work daily with him to hopefully help him walk again.
