My story

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

It feels like I'm a super star! According to my friends at the shelter, I'm receiving love from around the globe. At the shelter, I get so much love that I cannot believe I can get any more.

Even though I've been here for a long time, I don't mind. Comfortable beds are my favorite thing, and I get to sleep in my favorite bed every day. I enjoy going for walks several times a day with my people. My favorite foster home has no other dogs, so I get all the attention I deserve. I even get car rides to see all the sights of Naples.

It is always a question about why I have been at the shelter so long. Well, for one thing, I do not like cats and they cannot be in my new home. I love my people, but new ones need to gain my trust. Getting to know me can take me a few times, because I can be a bit high maintenance with new people. Due to the difficulty I have making new friends, I prefer a quiet home where very few people visit. I also need a house to myself because although I can play with other dogs, I prefer to be alone in my own house.

Shyla's adoption fee has been graciously sponsored by one of her human friends.

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
