Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. WARNING: You are about to fall in love with a dog built like a cartoon character. Meet Libby — aka “LB” aka Little Bigfoot Somewhere along the way, someone thought mixing a Border Collie with a Corgi would create a mini version… They were wrong. What they got instead is this absolutely iconic girl: ✨ 48 pounds of pure love ✨ Full-size body ✨ Short, stubby little legs ✨ 100% unforgettable And honestly? We wouldn’t change a thing. At 6 years old, Libby is that perfect sweet spot — past the chaos, all about the love. She’s: ✔️ House trained ✔️ Crate trained (but doesn’t even need it) ✔️ Spayed, microchipped, and fully vetted ✔️ A total affection magnet If your hand is anywhere near her… boop. She’ll bump it for pets like it’s her full-time job. ❤️ She has a decent amount of energy, but not over the top, and just wants to be near her people. The kind of dog that m becomes your shadow and your heart. Our amazing partners at PetSuites Bloomingdale will be helping us evaluate her dog social skills, but we’re expecting this girl to fit in just about anywhere. Libby isn’t just unique — she’s special. The kind of dog you don’t see every day… and the kind you never forget. ✨ Stay tuned as we learn more about LB ✨ But don’t wait too long… dogs like this don’t stay available Apply soon to adopt at 4luckydogs.org #AdoptLibby #LittleBigfoot #LowRiderLove #RescueDog #AdoptDontShop #4LuckyDogs #FloridaRescue #UniqueDogs #RescueDogs #ForeverHomeWanted Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.May 29, 2026, 4:46 pm

Story
Meet the shelter’s very own "Central Park" duo! Gloria, a spirited 2-year-old Husky/Shepherd mix, and Melman, a charmingly awkward 5-year-old Lab/Shepherd mix, are a package deal of goofiness just like their Madagascar namesakes. Whether they’re navigating the "wilds" of the play yard or just trying to figure out where their long legs are supposed to go when they sit, these two are guaranteed to keep you laughing with their quirky personalities and endearing clumsiness. Gloria brings that classic youthful energy and vocal Husky charm, while Melman provides the slightly more seasoned, "worried-but-happy" vibe that makes him so lovable. They balance each other out perfectly—where one goes, the other is sure to follow, usually with a wagging tail and a look of pure confusion about what’s happening next. They are a true pair of best friends who find comfort and confidence in being together, making them a ready-made family for anyone looking to double the love. If your home has enough room for two big hearts and a lot of goofy antics, Gloria and Melman are ready to "move it, move it" right into your life. They are looking for an adopter who appreciates the unique bond of a bonded pair and is ready for a lifetime of awkward cuddles and double the tail wags.

Story
Hi, I'm Buddy! 🐕 I’m a striking 4-year-old, 52 lb Blue Merle Australian Shepherd with a wiggle-butt that doesn't quit. I know I’m gorgeous, but I’m looking for someone who loves me for my brain and my breed, not just my stunning looks. I’ve been adopted and returned twice because people underestimate my herding drive, so I'm holding out for a true herding-breed savvy handler this time! I am a brilliant, athletic "workaholic" who needs a job. I already know my basic commands, but I need an adult-only home and a routine-oriented handler who can provide solid structure. The Real Talk: Like many Aussies, I am highly sensitive to movement and can get nervous or nippy when overstimulated. I need an adopter who strictly understands the 3-3-3 rule for rescue dogs, handles high-arousal behaviors with positive reinforcement, and knows how to redirect my energy onto appropriate toys. Once I warm up and know you're leading the way, I am incredibly affectionate, playful, and loyal. My adoption fee is $300. Ready to give a smart guy the structure he thrives on?

Story
Brownie is a 2 year old female! She is a lovable, full of energy, cuddly, and trainable pup. She is a very kind dog especially around young humans (pregnant women, infants, babies, and toddlers)! Absolutely loves other dogs and loves her occasional tennis ball. She loves to cuddle in close then when she feels like her tank is full she will go lay on the floor. She has been in training for a service animal for the past couple months, so she is house trained and crate trained perfectly. She has been working on leash training and medical response. So if you ever find yourself crying, she is there to lick your tears and cuddle! She is your perfect addition to your family!
