Story
  Meet Sydney! This sweet, happy, and outgoing pup is about 9 weeks old and full of playful energy! Sydney is just starting her vetting and will be ready for her forever home next month!   We expect her to be 15 pounds or less when fully grown. She’s still a baby, so she’s working on potty training and crate training, but she’s eager to learn and loves attention. Sydney is looking for a loving home that will give her the happily ever after she deserves. Could that be you?   ##2384092##

Story
How could we describe Charlie: Perfect, Perfect and Perfect. No issue with cats, people and dogs!!!!!! A little note from Charlie's foster mom Deborah: As Charlie’s foster mom he is a very sweet & loving boy. He is adorable, well trained and enjoys life. He is happy to be in my lap getting loved on and loves play time with my two big dogs. He is potty trained and does all his business outside. He loves his crate and will nap there during the day and sleep there at night. We are working on basic commands at the moment. Charlie is a smart boy and he will be a joy for any home that wants a forever child to shower with love. If I didn’t already have 2 doggies he would be a keeper. Don’t miss out on this cute adorable bundle of joy!!! Charlie Brown is 6 months old- We do believe he is around 12LBS right now and thought he is a mix between a Jack and a Beagle. Cute mix. He is neutered and up to date on all his shots. Part of his adoption fee will help Solomon who is going for his ACL repair. He was found and brought to the shelter. We do have him now in our Rescue and are dedicated to save his leg. If you can't adopt but sill want to help Solomon please email us at pets@findahomegiveahome.com and we can share some of the pictures. We do not adopt out of state unless you have a second home in Florida- We do not adopt to family with young children and if you are a senior please consider adopting a more mature dog. Thanks for your understanding.

Story
Mocha is 100% purebred! She was adopted at the price of 2,100. She is very sweet and energetic! This dog bred requires a lot of time and energy! She has been raised with big dogs and is good with playing! *She is protective of her food with other animals, but if you take it or give her food she won’t attack you! I am moving to college and need her to have a good home! I am sad to see her go, she is such an amazing dog to have! I also have to add that she is so pretty and adorable!!!

Story
June, also known as Junebug or June Carter Cash, is an 8-year-old Boston terrier. She has spent the majority of her life as a breeding dog living in a kennel. It didn't take her long at all to appreciate the finer things in life, though. June has a surprising amount of energy for her age. Her favorite things to do are to hoard all the toys in the house and to play with her foster sister. She is on a mission to eradicate the entire yard of sticks. It's not a fast process, but she's committed to it. June knows how to use a dog door and she is house trained. She does well in her crate during the day as long as she's given a little food motivation to go inside. June loves everyone she meets, but she does get a little over excited and tends to jump when her people first get home or when meeting new friends, so she is not recommended in a home with small children or anyone with mobility issues. June requires a securely fenced yard, as she loves to explore but does not have great recall yet. June does ok with calm cats but if they run she will chase them. She does request a home that allows her on the furniture, and we agree that after 8 years in a kennel she deserves that. She also requests lots of fluffy blankets. Included in each adoption: age appropriate shots, microchip, and spay/neuter surgery. Prior to meeting or adopting any of our wonderful animals, we ask that you please fill out our online application: https://form.jotform.com/223268341300041 We are a 100% volunteer organization and have to work other jobs to pay the bills. Please give us up to 48 hours to respond. Submission of an adoption application does not obligate you to adopt nor does it guarantee approval. We look forward to hearing from you. We are located in Pensacola, Fl. Local applications considered first, but will consider out of state applications if transport can be arranged. Please note all animals in the home must be altered, up to date on vaccines, and be on heartworm prevention. We understand there are some special cases and will take those into consideration.May 5, 2025, 9:54 pm
