Story
Hen is a lovely girl that was in a confiscation situation. We have had her in the rescue for now 2 year!!! She has come a LONG way and is doing great!!! She LOVES other dogs, plays well with them and once she knows you she is super affectionate. I think she will always have a cautious streak in her, from her past, but she is brave and manages to overcome her blocks!! It took us three months for her to come out of her crate and come willingly to us. Now once she knows you she wants to be with you all the time! She is so much better about being picked up, we practice that at home all the time, she does tolerate it. Totally housebroke, crate trained and yes we are still working on the leash. But it is only going forward. She is a funny girl. Loves to play with toys, and does zoomies in the yard. Rides well in the car in the front seat. She tolerates the vet and just goes limp in situations she is uncomfortable in. With more exposure, socialization and group classes she will only improve. She is a project dog, but will give you her whole heart and soul. Will eventually make a great companion dog, right now she prefers the comfort of her home environ, with added dashes of the new world! Will need a fenced yard, and most importantly another kind playful dog to hang with and be her best friend! She loves to run and would eventually make an awesome agility dog, She has been started in scentwork and does seem to like it. Scent work is very good for confidence building. She has been to classes, not as a participant but hanging out to get exposure. Eventually she will make it into class, she is doing so much better than before!! Fostered in Bradenton. Will need an adopter or anotehr long term foster who has knowledge of dog behaviour, and lots of patience and love.. This girl only wants to please, and with your help can conquer all those past fears. Make her future a safe and beautiful place!!! Its time to get her into another home with different people and experiences!! Can you help her????

Story
This lil 14 pd chi mix came from a hoarding situation on the east coast of Florida. She is unsocialized, needs a quiet home, is not aggressive to people. She just needs time. allowing for decompression is very important. Right now an airline crate is her safe space. She has made no attempt to bite just wants to be as small as possible. Fostered in Bradenton. Someone who has experience with hoarding dogs, fearful dogs will be good for this girl. Must have a fenced yard, and another calm dog, not in your face type of dog. We have made some progress 3/7!! Brown is taking food from my hand and will approach you for more!!! She is intimidated by other dogs that are in her face and will stay on the outer circle. Once you have her alone she will approach and take food and actually allow petting. She needs a lot more one on one. She has a habit of spinning in the crate when being fed. Not so concerned about that, it should go away in time. it does not prevent her from eating and she has a good appetite!! Brown needs a very patient foster maybe one other dog. She does crate well prefers an airline crate, She is housebroken and uses a dog door! She needs to learn to walk on lead, get used to being touched, and to trust people. She is a special needs and a project dog. I know there are not many of you out there, but inside this lil gal is a gem of a dog once you win her over. Currently fostered in Bradenton. The trip to the vets was good!! We were able to hold her, pet her , get a collar on her. With time and a lot more of touching and petting she will be fine!! She doesnt like a lot of dogs around her so she would do so much better in a home with less dogs, and come around much faster!! She is a happy joyous soul, we would really love to see her blossom in that special home!!

Story
🧡 Meet Lucy – A Tender-Hearted Survivor Looking for Love 🧡 Lucy is a 3-year-old spayed female who was rescued from a severe hoarding situation along with over 30 other dogs. She's gentle, quiet, and incredibly resilient despite everything she’s been through. This sweet girl is not leash-trained yet, but she is pad trained and very gentle when hand-fed. She's learning to eat from a bowl and starting to explore life outside her comfort zone. Lucy enjoys being held and seems to find comfort in gentle lap time and petting — her favorite spot is a soft dog bed in a quiet corner. Lucy is not aggressive and has never growled or snapped, even under stress. She’s shy and will need someone with patience and experience with unsocialized or hoarded dogs to help her continue her journey to healing. What Lucy Needs in a Home: A calm, quiet household (no young children, please) A fenced yard with a smaller, secure potty area Another kind and confident dog to help her learn the ropes A person or family with patience, love, and a gentle routine Lucy is currently being housed with her friend Ethel, and they have begun to be separated to encourage independence. This is a special girl who didn’t ask for the circumstances she came from — but she deserves the very best going forward. If you’re ready to open your heart to a dog who will reward your patience with quiet loyalty and love, Lucy is ready to begin her new chapter. 📍 Located in Bradenton, FL 📩 Apply to adopt at ewenityfarmsbch.com

Meet Lilly! This little Chihuahua is wonderful. She is shy at first but warms up quickly and turns into a total sweetheart. She LOVES to play fetch. She would also make a wonderful little sport dog for someone looking. She is incredibly dog friendly to dogs of all sizes however will correct a dog if they get to 'up in her bubble'. Lilly is kid (of all ages) and cat friendly. She would do best in a home that has moderate to high activity level.

The fee also covers all vet bills during this time to ensure his/her health is improved or maintained and provides you with assurance that this dog has been well cared for while in our possession and evaluated to meet your home's needs. Included in this fee is also life- long group training support provided by PLAY! K9 Academy located in Bradenton, FL as well as Life time microchip registration. When you adopt from a local shelter, you may not receive any medical history for this dog nor will you receive any behavioral history.

Story
Casper + Lumi ♥️ Casper and Lumi aren’t your “easy” dogs—and that’s important to be upfront about. They’ve been in foster care since November 2025 after a month-long stay at Hernando County Animal Services, and heartbreakingly, they’ve received zero applications. They didn’t come from a life where people were kind, predictable, or safe—and it shows. They’re still learning what it means to trust, to relax, and to simply be dogs in a home. But here’s the part that matters… they try. Every single day, they try. The moment they see their person, it’s pure excitement—tails wagging, bodies wiggling, with Lumi adding her own happy little soundtrack. It’s one of the few times their guard drops without hesitation. Casper is the braver of the two and often leads the way, while Lumi is still finding her confidence. Right now, she’s most comfortable being touched in her crate and may press herself into the corner, but she has her own sweet quirks—like gently “booping” toes when someone is lying down. She has made beautiful progress and will happily sit near her person on the couch, as long as she’s allowed to come on her own terms. Both are incredibly food-motivated, which has been key in building trust. They’re not destructive, enjoy toys and chew bones, and are mostly house trained. Most importantly—they love each other deeply. Casper and Lumi are a truly bonded pair and must be adopted together. They also do wonderfully with other dogs and especially enjoy the company of calm, confident pups who help them feel safe and understood. At just 2 years old, they still have so much life and love ahead of them. Their ideal home will include: ✔️ A secure fenced yard (5 ft minimum) ✔️ A calm, patient environment without small children ✔️ A committed adopter who understands that trust takes time—but is incredibly rewarding They’re not for everyone. But they will be everything to the right person. 📍 Located in the Tampa area 💲 Adoption fee: $200 for the pair 👉 Apply here: www.love4pawsfl.org/adopt If you think you might be the right fit, we would love to hear from you.
