PLEASE READ THE ANIMAL’S PROFILE AND ALL NOTES BELOW BEFORE APPLYING! **Hi… I’m Girlie Girl 🐾** I’m a 10-year-old Collie mix, and if there’s one thing you should know about me, it’s this: I just want to be *your* dog. I’m what they call a “Velcro dog.” That means wherever you go… I go too. Walking to the kitchen? I’ll be right there. Cooking dinner? I’d love a cozy bed nearby so I can watch you and smell all your delicious creations. Relaxing on the couch? I’ll be at your feet, looking up at you with my big eyes full of love. Working from home? Knitting me a sweater? Having a quiet cocktail hour? Perfect. I’ll just be here, keeping you company. I don’t know how to jump on the couch (no one ever taught me), but that’s okay — I’m happiest laying close by, getting head scratches and being near my person. I check in on you around the house just to make sure you’re still there. You are very important to me. I’m sweet, loyal, a little shy at first, and sometimes a bit nervous while I’m still learning how this whole “safe forever home” thing works. I handle loud noises well, but I’m still figuring out that when the leash comes out, it doesn’t mean I’m going somewhere scary. I’m learning that I’m safe now. I’m crate trained, house trained, and I’m working really hard on potty routines. If you take me out consistently, I catch on fast! I’m also practicing “come” and “sit.” Treats are a new concept for me, but I’m starting to understand they’re pretty great. I get along well with other dogs — big or small — and I’d really love a dog sibling to help show me the ropes. I’m respectful of older cats, too. Kids over 10 are okay, but I may run off if they approach too quickly. I do best with calm energy. Sometimes I drink water like I’ve just crossed a desert. I’m not sure why — maybe I didn’t always have enough before. My foster is helping me slow down, and I’m doing better every day. I’m eating well, I’ve started doing little happy jumps, and I’m even discovering how fun it is to run. I think my playful side is just beginning to bloom. My dream home is quiet and cozy. Maybe with an older couple, a single person, someone who works from home, or someone retired. I seem to feel especially safe with women — maybe it’s the softer voice. I don’t need a huge yard, but I would love a backyard to explore a little before coming back inside (because let’s be honest, I’d rather be wherever you are). What do I need most? • A dog sibling • A calm home with adults or kids 10+ • A yard to stretch my legs More than anything, I need someone patient. Someone who will show me that this is my home, that I’m staying, and that I can finally relax. Teach me how to chill. Remind me I’m safe. Let me follow you around and love you with my whole heart. I might love water a little too much… But I promise I will love you even more. 💛 Adoption FEE: $150 which includes her spay, microchip, and vaccines. It is also a donation to go directly back to us to help us continue to rescue more animals.

Story
Ember is a petite border collie with the most loyal heart. She's a total velcro dog who follows her foster mom everywhere and just wants to be by your side. She absolutely loves her daily walks, car rides, meeting new people and at night she settles down quietly in her bed (or yours if you let her!). Ember is not your typical anxious high-energy border collie. She's got a calmer, gentler vibe while still being an active, happy girl. She's just learning what toys are and how to play with them, which is pretty adorable to watch. She walks beautifully on leash, sits on command and gets along well with other dogs and even cats (she just ignores them). She loves kids and gets along really well those that are dog savvy and respect boundaries. She'll need an owner who understands how much these dogs love their people.

These pups are in Tampa, Florida too!

Story
PLEASE READ THE ANIMAL’S PROFILE AND ALL NOTES BELOW BEFORE APPLYING! 👑 Greetings, I am Mary — Queen of Adventure. 👑 Like the Scottish queen I was named after, I am brave, strong-minded, and very confident. At just 8 weeks old, I’m already showing my royal personality as a clever little Blue Heeler pup who is ready to explore the world and rule my kingdom (lovingly, of course). I am an energetic and playful girl who absolutely loves games and adventure. Playing with my sisters is great fun, but honestly… I’m always ready to start a new game of my own. I’m curious about everything around me, which sometimes means I hear the word “no” when I investigate things like baseboards or furniture. I’m learning, though! A queen must understand the rules of her kingdom eventually. I’m already showing how smart I am—I know sit, down, and stay, and I’m crate trained too. I’m doing really well with my washable pee pads (about 95% of the time!), and I’m practicing with a leash indoors while I prepare for my royal outdoor adventures. I get along well with big dogs, small dogs, and older children, and I bring a lot of fun and excitement wherever I go. My ideal home would be one that enjoys an active, playful, intelligent puppy and is ready to keep teaching me new things as I grow. With the right guidance, I’ll become a loyal and amazing companion. If you’re looking for a confident, smart, playful pup with a big personality, I may be the little queen your home has been waiting for. Royal kisses and playful paws, Queen Mary 🐾👑 Adoption FEE: $650 which includes her spay, microchip, and vaccines.

Story
PLEASE READ THE ANIMAL’S PROFILE AND ALL NOTES BELOW BEFORE APPLYING! Hi… I’m Napoli 🍕🐾 I’m just a tiny baby (only 7 weeks old!), but I’ve already mastered something very important… being the ultimate cuddle bug 💚 I’m a sweet little Red Heeler–Doberman mix with a BIG heart. I love to play, explore, and hang out with other dogs (big or small!), but my absolute favorite thing in the whole world is being close to my people. The second you sit down, I’ll climb right into your lap like I belong there… because I do 🥹 I’m super loving, friendly, and confident, and I adore attention. Kisses? Yes please. Snuggles? Always. I’m usually the first one of my siblings to get sleepy and curl up for a nap—preferably on you 💕 Since I’m still just a baby, I’m learning everything! I’m working on potty training, basic manners, and figuring out what I’m allowed to chew (hint: not your shoes 😅). I’ll need a patient family who will guide me as I grow, but I promise I’m eager to learn and ready to be the best boy. I don’t love being alone for too long—I might cry or howl a little because I miss you. I just really love company! Because of that, I’d do AMAZING in a home with another dog to play with and cuddle up to 🐶 My dream home would be: * A family who’s around often and loves to cuddle * A doggy sibling (I’d love a best friend!) * A home ready for puppy training and lots of love * A yard or space where I can safely grow and play as I get bigger If you’re looking for a loyal little shadow who will follow you everywhere, fall asleep in your lap, and love you with his whole tiny heart… I might just be your perfect match 🍕💚 Can’t wait to snuggle you, Napoli 🐾 Adoption FEE: $600 which includes his neuter, microchip, and vaccines.
