Story
MAXX & ME PET RESCUE adoptable dogs SIDNEY bka “Sid” Our precious boy was born blind. Since he’s never known a different life, this “ailment” hasn’t affected him much at all. He embodies the “handi-capable” moniker. Sid is also a bit of a “close talker”. He doesn’t know personal space / boundaries because… well… he can’t SEE! Sid moves through life with reckless abandon. His throttle is stuck towards rabbit mode and like a bumper car, he just glances off things and keeps moving forward! Happy go lucky!         Sid is potty trained, very loving, and wants nothing more to be a companion animal to his humans. He hates being alone, crates are a big no, and while he’s dog-friendly, it’s important the other dogs in a potential home be the sort that would be ok with him bumping into them routinely.               Sid is about 12 pounds, HW-, UTD, neutered, and ready to interview forever families. Sid doesn’t let being blind stop him from enjoying life and we hope to find a family who agrees, it’s not big thing!                         Sid especially finds tremendous comfort when allowed to snuggle with his people so if you’re looking for a constant companion, Sid may be the dog for you!         Sid will be fully vaccinated, Neutered and microchipped prior to adoption. Adoption donation is $250   Maxx & Me is an all volunteer, all foster home rescue and do not have a shelter. Please allow at least 48 hours for applications to be processed (missing information may slow the process, so please take your time and be thoughtful in your answers). We place dogs based on best home for each dog and not order of applications received. Email us at maxxandmerescue@gmail.com for updates and questions. Thank you for choosing rescue.

Story
Look at me! I am Elsa I am a Chihuahua mix looking for my forever home.  I am about 7 years old, I am sweet, funny, curious. I can be a bit of a Diva too...When I was first brought into the rescue my much bigger foster brother was playing a little too rough and ran me over. I was rushed to emergency where they thought I would never walk again. After several acupuncture sessions. I am now walking AND running I may add, although I may have an accident in the house once in awhile and have some quirks but I am lucky to be running around with my own legs! I enjoy playing with other dogs in open spaces, as long as I am in charge. (I told you I was a Diva) . Inside the home I like to be your one and only and do not like others trying to get your attention. I am part Chihuahua after all, so a home that understands and accepts my behavior is a must. I am tiny but feisty, and would prefer a home with just calm females as well as a fenced in yard, so I can run around. Elsa's adoption fee is $250 she is spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped. To meet Elsa fill out an adoption application at www.pawprinthearts.com. Please NOTE: PPH does not adopt to homes farther than a 1 hour drive from Tampa, FL.April 29, 2024, 6:42 am

Story
Meet Maui, a 5-6 year old 9 lb. Chihuahua/Terrier mix looking for his forever home. Maui does great with other dogs however he gets protective of his owners when he is on a leash. Maui is also cat friendly. Maui would do best in a home with older children. Maui is very loving and just wants to be near you all day, if you are on the couch he wants to be next to you or in your lap. Maui is full of energy and loves to play and be chased with his toys but he is also a good snuggle partner for a nap on the couch or a good partner to watch a movie with. Maui loves to go for walks and lay in the sun and he also enjoys a good car ride.There's not much that Maui does not enjoy doing as long as he is with you. Maui does suffer from some anxiety and his adopter will need to be home often and willing to help him work through his anxiety.Maui's adoption fee is $350 and includes his spay, rabies, DHPP, and microchip. To meet Maui fill out an adoption application at www.pawprinthearts.com.Please NOTE: Disclaimer: Pawprint Hearts (PPH) has posted this animal as a courtesy to its owner in their effort to find a new home for their pet. Neither the health or temperament of the animal is known to us. All information, responsibility, and liability for this pet is that of the current owner.April 29, 2024, 6:42 am

Story
ADOPT ME Kima is doing really well in foster care. She is spayed and UTD on vetting. She loves spending time with her foster mom's other small dogs, and she loves to get attention. We have not seen any aggression from her at all, but she does like to boss around one of her foster siblings (but is very submissive to the one dog who doesn't like her shenanigans).  Kima is mostly good with the cats, but if they start to run, she will chase them. We are working on leash training and potty training. Right now she is still extremely terrified of the leash. She would do best in a home with at least one more small dog. After living her whole life in a pen with 35 other dogs, she seems to really appreciate the company of other dogs. ‍  She is estimated to be around 2 years old and she is around 8 lbs. Since this is the first time she has lived inside, she is exploring everything, and does like to chew up things she gets (and she gets everything!). Someone who enjoys a happy little dog with puppy energy would be perfect for Kima. If you’re interested in adopting Kima, please fill out an application at animalluvrs.org. All of our adoptable rescues have a clean bill of health (unless otherwise stated), are spayed/neutered, vaccinated (age-appropriately), tested (FeLV/FIV for cats, HW for dogs over 6 months of age), current on flea and heartworm prevention and microchipped. This is all included in their adoption fee that goes in as a donation to help us cover their medical costs and continue to help other animals in need. Any questions, concerns and suggestions, please feel free to contact us at ALDR@animalluvrs.org. ##1960017##

Story
Meet Woody! This handsome little boy ended up in a shelter after losing his parents, so we took him into our rescue and found an amazing foster for him. In the time that Woody has been with his foster mom, his personality is coming out so nicely. Woody does great with his canine foster sister and his foster kitty siblings. He loves running around playing and is slowly learning to play with his squeaky toys (we think his sister is teaching him that). Woody loves going for walks and is a happy, easy going little guy. If you are interested in hearing more about Woody, please include your phone number when you inquire so we can give you a call to tell you more about him.
