Story
If you are interested in this dog PLEASE carefully read the bio on the dog below. If you are a match please submit an adoption application at WWW.GADR.ORG. Incomplete applications will not be processed. We reserve the right to deny any application that is deemed unfit or unsuitable for the dog. Please be aware that our animal adoptions are NOT on a first come- first serve basis. Our sole purpose is to find the best possible home for the dogs that fall under our care. Please be patient our rescue consists of all volunteers. Please don't be upset at us if you're not able to adopt. We do our best. We are now accepting applications for our sweet girl Daisy Mae. She has quite a story and has been through so much. We received an urgent plea from a county shelter to save her. Poor Daisy was a stray in a neighborhood for weeks and the saddest part is she was born with luxating patella's aka her knees were out of the joint. It was so painful to watch her even walk when we rescued her. The fact this scared dog was a stray with this deformity broke our heart. Fast forward to today our rescue paid to have very expensive surgery to repair her issue. Now her patella's are in place. Sometimes she does limp or hold her leg up. She probably will always have a limp or walk strange. Daisy is receiving physical therapy and that really helps. She can never jump on couches but she loves her pet beds. Daisy is nervous at first and is a typical chihuahua, fearful at first and then strongly protective and loving. Daisy loves to cuddle on our extra large pet bed we have. She is healthy and loves our foster dad dearly. We are looking for that special perfect family with a fenced in yard and love and empathy for our girl Daisy to give her a forever home. Daisy is estimated to be about 3 years old but we think she's younger. Daisy is a female tri color chihuahua mix. Daisy weighs about 12 lbs. She is spayed, up to date on all her shots, heartworm flea preventatives, dewormed and microchipped! Please only apply if you are willing to be patient and let her decompress. Daisy is the definition of perseverance and hope. We love her so much. Daisy's adoption donation is only 300.00! Are you the one for Daisy Mae? All adoptions include 30 days pet health insurance, dog food, harness, leash and lifetime training tips

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 $250 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.October 5, 2024, 11:14 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.

Story
This cute little man is Jonesy.  Jonesy is a 4-month-old purebred Chihuahua.  While he is not used to walking on a leash yet, he does love to explore the big world around him.  When Jonesy runs, it is like watching a bunny hop through the grass.  Jonesy adores being around people and being carried.  He would make a wonderful addition to any family.  Because he is so small, Jonesy would do best in a family with kids over the age of 10 who can understand that he needs to be handled gently.  Jonesy will need a family who can provide him with patience, understanding, time and love so he grows up to be the best pup he can be. Interested in a play date with Jonesy?  Please fill out an application to set up a meet and greet.

Meet this tiny little guy snuggles. He came to us from an awful situation. Someone heard him barking in a locked storage unit sitting in a crate. He came to us terrified. First night he kept his distance but by the next day he saw other dogs in his foster home getting love and decided he wanted attention too. He is now a Velcro dog that follows his foster everywhere. He loves going on walks, getting treats, playing with toys. He is a great watchdog. He lets me know if someone is at my door or a squirrel is in the yard. He is in a foster home in port richey. If you would like to meet this pup please go to RescueADog.org website and under the Adoption Application tab fill out the Jotform online adoption application.

Meet Copper! This sweet and adorable little boy is around 9 months old and currently weighs 14 pounds. We're not quite sure what breeds his mom and dad are but based on his current size and age, we don't think he will get too much bigger when he grows up. Copper and his brother were found scared and abandoned under a house, and a nice neighbor reached out to us for help. He is now with one of our amazing fosters and is settling in so nicely! His foster mom said he is SUPER sweet and curious and happy as can be now. If you are interested in hearing more about Copper, please be sure to include your phone number when you inquire. Inquiries in the Tampa Bay surrounding area only please.

These pups are in Tampa, Florida too!
