Story
Hi, I'm Molly! I'll be 16 this November, and I'm not slowing down. I still get my half-mile walk on a leash, I still go after a squeaky toy like it owes me money, and I still believe baby carrots are the best snack ever made. Between all that, I take several well-earned naps a day, because a lady should be well rested. I don't hear much these days, so I don't worry about thunder, doorbells, or the vacuum. I just carry on with my day, and I'd love to do it next to you. My Ideal Home A calm, patient home with someone who thinks seniors are the best thing going. I get along with other dogs, cats, older kids, and women. I'm house-trained and crate-trained, so I already know how this works. A Few Important Things to Know Hearing: I seem to be deaf. I won't come when you call me, so I need to be on a leash or in a securely fenced yard at all times. I respond well to hand signals and eye contact. Please wake me with a gentle touch or by stomping on the floor so the vibration reaches me. I might startle if someone walks up behind me. Senior care: At almost 16, I'll need regular vet checkups and someone ready for the extra care that comes with my age. Older children only: Young kids can be a lot for a girl my age, and I can't hear them coming. Older children who know how to be gentle are a better fit. What I Bring to the Table I spent my whole life with one person. When she had to move into a nursing home, I came to DARE. I've only known love, and I'm ready to be someone's girl again. I'm sturdy, active, and easy to live with, and I know how to show up for my person. If you want a sweet, low-drama companion with plenty of life (and plenty of squeaker-hunting) left in her, I'm waiting for you.

Story
Hi, I'm George! I'm about 2 years old, sleek and black, and I'm a loyal guy. My favorite place is wherever you are. Errands, walks, the couch: if you're going, I'm going. I love leashed walks, I take my squeaky toys very seriously, and at bedtime I'd like to sleep in bed with my person, please. (I'll also sleep in a crate without complaining. I'm flexible like that.) I'm also on volunteer security duty. If someone comes to the porch or the back door, I'll make sure you know about it. My Ideal Home An active home that likes to bring me along. I'm good with other dogs, older children, men, and women. I'd love someone who enjoys daily walks and wants a shadow who follows them everywhere. A Few Important Things to Know Energy level: I'm young and have plenty of energy. I do best with daily walks and playtime, not a mostly sedentary home. Alert barker: I announce visitors at the front and back doors. Some people love having a built-in doorbell. Others may want to work on it with me. What I Bring to the Table I'm sweet, adaptable, and devoted. Once I'm yours, I'm all in. My first person loved me very much, and I lost her recently. I'm ready to give all that loyalty to someone new. If you want a buddy who'll walk with you, ride with you, sleep next to you, and keep an eye on the doors, I'm your guy.

Story
Meet Mara (red) & Emily (black & tan); aka Ginger & MaryAnn, lol.  These bonded sisters are 12 years old & the sweetest pair ever!  They are on the smaller size, weighing in at about 11 pounds each, are up-to-date on their shots & are spayed. Both are potty trained as long as taken out regularly.  They are crate trained & sleep the night thru together.  They get along with other small dogs, not sure about cats or large dogs.  Both are a little shy at first, but warm up to new people very quickly.  Mara & Emily do well on a leash and enjoy lizard hunting in the backyard or sitting in the sun like most doxies. Mara is a bit more special needs and has IVDD, so she gets a monthly Librella injection at the vet which keeps her mobile.  She gets around on her own & does not need any help pottying.  Mara doesn’t do stairs but has learned to use a dog ramp to get to her favorite spot on the couch. They both had horrible dental disease, so DARE recently had dentals done; Emily lost all her teeth & Mara still has about 4 remaining.  Therefore, they are on soft foods. They love snuggling together when they are not snuggling on the coach with their person.  These two gals are very low key & easy going girls who would do best in a quiet home. Mara & Emily MUST stay together & are being fostered in Orlando but travel very well in a car.  If you think these two would make a good addition to your family, please fill out an adoption application & put their names on it. ♥ If you know I'm your forever pup, fill out an adoption application at daretorescue.org/adoption-application — and don't forget to put my name on your application!

Story
Hi, I'm Charlie — I've come out of my shell since arriving at DARE. I've got a great appetite, and I wake up every morning happy and bouncy, ready to run with the pack, chase squirrels, water the field, and investigate every tortoise hole I can find. Not bad for a 13-year-old, if I do say so myself. My Ideal Home Good with kids, cats, small dogs, and everyone in the house — but I do best as an only dog or with small dog/cat companions only, since I'm not great with big dogs. I love sleeping in bed with my people (or in my crate, if that's the house rule), and I'm house-trained, crate-trained, and up for leashed walks with plenty of sniffing. A Few Important Things to Know - Not a fan of big dogs: I do best as the only dog, or alongside small dogs and cats. Big dogs aren't my thing. - Thunderstorm anxiety: Storms make me nervous — a calm, comforting space during bad weather goes a long way with me. What I Bring to the Table I've got morning energy, a zest for squirrel-chasing, and a curiosity about the world that most pups half my age would envy. I'm sweet, I listen well, and I'd be forever grateful to the person who gives me a soft (and adventurous) place to land for my golden years.

Story
Weighing just 20 lbs, King is a 3-year-old mix of Dachshund- Pembroke Welsh Corgi– Min Pin with a big personality packed into his small frame. True to his name, he carries himself with a confident little strut, as if he knows he rules the house—and honestly, he probably does. With his low-to-the-ground build and expressive face, King is equal parts charming and entertaining. He’s got that classic mix of Corgi intelligence and Dachshund curiosity, which means he’s always alert, always interested, and sometimes just a little bit mischievous. Whether he’s exploring every corner of the yard or keeping an eye on his surroundings like a tiny watchdog, he takes his role seriously—but never without a playful twist. King loves being around his people and has a loyal, affectionate nature. He enjoys playtime, short adventures, and then settling in close for some quality relaxation. At 3 years old, he’s right in his prime—energetic, smart, and full of character. He's done well with other dogs, but he is not a fan of cats. Small in size but big in presence, King brings a fun, lively energy wherever he goes, along with plenty of love and a touch of royal attitude. If you are interested in learning more about this dog, please complete an application by visiting http://www.floridaurgentrescue.com/adopt.

Story
This sweet 5-year-old boy has been part of my family since he was just 6 weeks old. He has grown up in a loving home alongside a toy poodle and has enjoyed many playdates with dogs of all sizes, including a Pit Bulland German Shepherd. He has never bitten another person or animal.He can be a little skittish at first and tends to be skeptical of new things, but with a little reassurance, he warms up. He is well-trained, eager to please, and he understands exactly what’s expected of him. He knows several tricks and truly enjoys making his people happy.He is fully house-trained, loves going on walks (though they aren’t a must), and is happy to either jump around and play or lounge in bed all day.He would thrive in a loving home, without small children, where he can feel safe and secure.
