Story
Kennedy is a unique and resilient pup who’s still figuring out how to trust. He’s had a rough start, but underneath his uncertainty is a dog who truly wants love—he just needs patience and the right approach. This guy is house-trained (no accidents here!) and crate-trained, settling in without complaint at night. He also does well in a playpen when left alone for short periods. He loves his toys, especially Nylabones and balls, but can be a little possessive with them. Kennedy enjoys being near his people - he follows them from room to room, wags his tail to show his feelings, and even gives kisses. He may ask for affection by bumping against you or jumping in your lap but then growl or nip when actually petted. Kennedy knows "come" and "sit", but treats (especially chicken!) help him stay engaged. He’s leash-reactive when it comes to putting it on or taking it off, especially around his neck, but once he’s walking, he does well - though 15 minutes is his max before he’s exhausted. He clearly has a history of being fed from the table and will wait at mealtime for a better offer- but don’t fall for it! Kennedy needs an experienced, patient adopter who understands that trust takes time. His ideal home is one where: He can continue learning boundaries in a structured environment, touch and handling are approached with patience and care, he has a predictable routine and a safe space to retreat when needed, and he’s allowed to bond at his own pace - on his terms PLEASE NOTE: All your current pets must be spayed/neutered, vaccinated and on heartworm prevention to adopt from Polka Dogz. We only adopt in Florida. All adoption fees go to help all the dogs in the rescue, some of which require extensive medical care. Thank you for caring for the greater good. Adoption fee is $150 and you can adopt me at www.polkadogz.org. ##2510665##

Story
At 13 years young, Douglas has perfected the art of enjoying life’s simple pleasures — and he’s hoping to find someone to share them with. This charming little Chihuahua mix may be a senior on paper, but don’t tell him that. Douglas still has plenty of pep in his step and absolutely lives for his daily walks. The moment you reach for the leash, his spunky personality shines through, ready for adventure and fresh air. When he’s not out exploring the world, you’ll find him soaking up sunshine like a tiny solar panel, happily stretched out in the warmest patch of light he can find. And when it’s time to relax? Douglas is a professional snuggler. He has a delightful ritual of circling and arranging his blanket just right before curling up into the coziest little ball you’ve ever seen. Sweet, curious, and incredibly devoted, Douglas is the kind of dog who becomes your constant companion. He’ll follow you from room to room, simply wanting to be near his person. Not clingy — just lovingly loyal. And when you do have to step out, he’s perfectly content holding down the fort at home like the good boy he is. Douglas doesn’t need much — just gentle walks, sunny spots, soft blankets, and someone to love. In return, he’ll give you unwavering companionship, quiet affection, and a heart full of gratitude. If you’re looking for a sweet, soulful little sidekick to share your days, Douglas is ready to follow you home. PLEASE NOTE: All your current pets must be spayed/neutered, vaccinated and on heartworm prevention to adopt from Polka Dogz. We only adopt in Florida.

Story
Zag is a beige on brown 16lb young man who would love to be found by the perfect home to let his friendship abound. He knows how to sit for treats, and takes the treats easily.  He's not a rush eater either.  While he enjoys being around the people, he also likes having personal space.  He enjoys a nice soft bed and a blanket in his crate so that he can have the personal space and doesnt mind too much when he's got to go in for the night.  He's still working on how to play with toys.  He's got a super chill vibe when he's lounging on the couch with you, and doesnt have to be the center of attention - but will let you know when it's his turn to be in the spotlight.  He likes to take long walks on the leash.  He's not a kisser, and isnt good with a lot of quick motions that are close to him.  Zag is good with other dogs.   PLEASE NOTE: All your current pets must be spayed/neutered, vaccinated and on heartworm prevention to adopt from Polka Dogz.
