Story
Meet Twinkle, the 3-year-old, 43-pound sparkler who’s ready to light up your life! This shy and sweet girl is ready to leave her traumatic past behind her and find her forever human to show her what love, patience and kindness is. Twinkle is incredibly sweet with people she trusts, always ready to shower you with affection and brighten your day. Sweet Twinkle has been living with our dog trainer since September 1, 2025. She's crate trained, walks politely on a leash, rides beautifully in the car and LOVES people she trusts! She's discovered that living inside is wonderful and has enjoyed living in a family environment (rather than outside or in a crowded kennel). She's also found that toys are super fun to play with! Twinkle was rescued from life on a heavy chain, living outside without access to food, water or reasonable shelter. Her previous owner was arrested on animal cruelty charges. Although we don't know for sure what Twinkle endured we do know that she'll need her new owner to understand that she'll take a little time to get used to her new home and be patient with her.

Huckleberry

Labrador Retriever Coonhound

Male, 11 mos
Melbourne, FL
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
When Huckleberry first came into rescue, he wanted nothing to do with the world around him. He was scared, shut down, and unsure if people could be trusted. Watching him slowly come out of his shell has been one of the most rewarding journeys. Today, Huck is a sweet, gentle boy who has discovered just how much fun life can be. His favorite thing in the world? Other dogs. They give him confidence, help him feel safe, and bring out his playful, goofy side. He loves having a canine friend to wrestle with in the yard, chase around, or simply curl up next to for a nap. Huck is still a little shy when meeting new people, but don't let that fool you. Give him a little patience, a few treats, and a calm environment, and he'll be asking for pets before you know it. Once he trusts you, you'll have a loyal companion who quietly adores his people. Huck is about 11 months old, weighs around 50 pounds, and is ready to find a family that will continue showing him that the world isn't such a scary place after all. A friendly, confident dog in his new home would be a huge bonus for Huck and would help him continue building his confidence, but he doesn't need to have a specific dog as his forever companion. If you're looking for a kind-hearted boy who just needs someone to believe in him, Huck is waiting to meet you. ❤️

Story
When Finn first came into rescue, he wanted nothing to do with the world around him. He was scared, shut down, and unsure if people could be trusted. Watching him slowly come out of his shell has been one of the most rewarding journeys. Today, Finn is a sweet, gentle boy who has discovered just how much fun life can be. His favorite thing in the world? Other dogs. They give him confidence, help him feel safe, and bring out his playful, goofy side. His best friend is his brother, Huckleberry, and the two are rarely far apart. Whether they're wrestling in the yard or napping side by side, they're happiest together. Finn is still a little shy when meeting new people, but don't let that fool you. Give him a little patience, a few treats, and a calm environment, and he'll be asking for pets before you know it. Once he trusts you, you'll have a loyal companion who quietly adores his people. Finn is about 11 months old, weighs around 50 pounds, and is ready to find a family that will continue showing him that the world isn't such a scary place after all. While we'd absolutely love to see Finn and Huckleberry adopted together, it's not a requirement. Finn would thrive in any home with another friendly, confident dog to help him continue building his confidence. If you're looking for a kind-hearted pup who just needs someone to believe in him, Finn is waiting to meet you.

Story
Meet Sallie! Somehow, this sweet girl found herself on the euthanasia list at a shelter that euthanizes for space. At just 6 months old, Sallie had barely had a chance to experience life before her life was at risk simply because the shelter was full. Thankfully, Sallie got her second chance, and she’s proving what a wonderful girl she is. She’s about 30 pounds and appears to be a Lab/terrier mix. She’s young, sweet, well-behaved, and absolutely loves children. Sallie is also great with the dogs in her foster home and has done wonderfully around the farm animals. She’s the kind of girl who just wants to be included and loved, and she’s ready to find a family who will give her all the love she deserves.
