My story

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

Lumi & Casper have been with us for about a month after being dumped in a forest and trapped by park rangers. Lumi was still full of milk, clearly separated from her puppies. Casper appears to be her identical twin and constant comfort.

These two are adorable 1-year-old Parsons Jack Russell Terrier mixes, weighing about 16–20 lbs. They are very scared of people and will need time, patience, and a gentle home — but they will come around.

Casper is playful and eager to trust, with so much potential. Lumi is more fearful and relies heavily on him, following his lead and avoiding human touch for now. Together, they build confidence little by little. Recently, they’ve discovered toys and absolutely love them, which has been a joy to watch. They also adore the female Jack Russell in their foster home.
Because of holiday travel, they’ve been bounced between short-term fosters and boarding and desperately need a stable, quiet place to land.

Their ideal home:
• Adult-only, calm household
• Secure, solid 5–6’ fenced yard
• No children or teens (quick movements and doors are too risky)
• Fine with 1–2 small dogs their size or smaller — or just each other

They are crate trained, house trained, and feel safest in their crates. While they aren’t comfortable with hands yet and must stay leashed outside, they follow their people indoors, watch closely, and are wonderfully curious. Trust will come with consistency and kindness.

If you’re within an hour of Tampa or Sarasota and can help, please apply to foster:

Adoption: www.love4pawsfl.org/adopt

They can be adopted anywhere in Florida, but a foster home must be near us. They are available for FOSTER or ADOPTION. They are currently in Land O Lakes and are bonded/must stay together.

More about this rescue

We are a non-breed specific dog rescue group, although we do tend to take in mostly large and extra-large breeds, and especially those in the hunting / sporting groups.

Love for Paws exists to protect and advocate for dogs in our community through responsible adoption, the donation of supplies and veterinary care to those in need, by assisting in the effort to limit the overpopulation of these animals and by promoting kindness and healthy opportunity for life.
