My story

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

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

Meet Duke –  Ready for His Next Chapter

Formerly known as Thunder, Duke was originally adopted from Pet Rescue by Judy five years ago. Life was good with his loving family — until unexpected health issues meant they had to make the heartbreaking decision to return him to us. Now, Duke is once again looking for a forever home where he can continue being the loyal, affectionate dog he’s always been.

  

About Duke:

  •   Housebroken and crate trained – he knows the rules and loves routine.
  • MUST be the ONLY dog in the home
  • Stong on leash,  — he’ll need an owner who can confidently handle his size.
  • A playful pup at heart, he enjoys daily walks, yard time, and being part of the action.
  • Currently managing a thyroid condition — all it takes is a simple medication (just two tablets a day) to keep him healthy and feeling his best.
  • On a weight-loss journey, and doing great having lost approximately 30 pounds he is just a little under 100 lbs now.  Duke  will need a dedicated adopter who can help keep him active and on track.

  

Due to his size and his limited time with children we are recommending an adult only home or one with older teens.

Go meet their pets

Although many of our pets are cared for at our facility in Sanford, many others are in private foster homes. To arrange a meet, it is best to first complete an online adoption application so that we can set up a meeting. You can access complete information on our pets plus the adoption application on our website, www.petrescuebyjudy.com. Meets and Adoptions are held at our Sanford Adoption Center.

More about this rescue

We are a private, non-profit rescue located in Sanford, Florida, dedicated to the rescue cats and dogs. Many of them come to us with medical needs. They are doctored to the best of our ability and resources.

Our most urgent goal is to rescue animals that are abandoned or in distress, update their vaccines, and find good new homes for them. But we attempt to be more proactive than that. It is our heartfelt desire to prevent any animal from the need to be "rescued." With that vision in mind, we take a three-prong approach through the education of pet owners and the general public about:
- proper care of animals, including correct diet of good quality food, fresh clean water, daily exercise, and lots of love
- spaying and neutering companion animals (dogs and cats) in order to prevent euthanasia and over-population
- low-cost spay/neuter clinics and wellness centers in their local community
