Details

Good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained,

Story

This dog was found as a stray and has been in my care for several weeks. He’s about 1 year old according to the vet and was 51 pounds when I first found him. He was severely under weight with ribs showing.He had hookworms as well, but has taken deworming medicine and is doing great. He was vaccinated at the vet and is just in need of a booster shot and neutering(if that’s wanted by potential new companion)He is a friendly and affectionate dog who enjoys attention and wants to be around people. He has a lot of energy and is still learning appropriate behavior. Because of his young age and unknown background, he needs continued training and consistency. He has learned quickly though and should do great with someone familiar with dog training. My hope is that he finds a home with someone who has the time and experience to continue his training and help him become a wonderful companion.

Story

Meet Gigi 🐾 Gigi is a 7-year-old Husky mix with a soft heart and a gentle spirit. Though she can appear a bit intimidating at first because of her looks, she is truly very sweet, calm, and affectionate once she feels comfortable. Gigi is naturally a little shy and tends to observe before jumping in, but her loving nature shines through quickly. She has been with our family since she was young and, like her brother Archie, has traveled with us through several military moves. Gigi is fully house-trained, up to date on all vaccinations, and has no known health issues. She does well with children and other dogs. Gigi is deeply bonded to her brother Archie and looks to him for guidance—he leads, and she happily follows. They have spent their entire lives together and share a special connection, so a home that could keep them together would be ideal. Gigi would thrive in a patient, loving home where she can feel safe, supported, and continue to grow in confidence alongside her brother.

Meet Archie 🐾 Archie is an 8-year-old Lab mix with a gentle soul and a loyal heart. He has been part of our family since he was just 8 weeks old and has grown up alongside us through several military moves, making him wonderfully adaptable and well-traveled. He is fully house-trained, up to date on all vaccinations, and has no known health issues. Archie does great with children and gets along well with other dogs. He’s calm, affectionate, and loves being close to his people. Archie is especially bonded to his sister, Gigi, and they have spent their lives together, so a home that could welcome them both would be ideal. He would thrive in a loving, stable home where he can continue to enjoy companionship, routine, and plenty of affection. Archie is ready to bring loyalty, comfort, and quiet joy to his next forever home.

Ahsoka

Golden Retriever German Shepherd Dog

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Located in Fleming Island, FL, Ahsoka is a laid back, sweet girl. She looks intimidating but is a big softy. She is 1/2 Golden Retriever, 1/4 GSD and 1/4 Husky. She has been raised around cats, a smaller dog, babies, and small children. We had to downsize our yard and she seems bored even though we are home all day long. She lays around all day. She is very well behaved and barely barks. She would make a perfect companion for someone with more love and attention to spare. She loves water and loves to play when given the chance. I think she would thrive with someone who had the time and resources to do fun things with her.

Good with kids, Not good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Hi! I'm Bulba (short for Bulbasaur), a 17 lb., 10-year-old purebred rat terrier, and my current family says I am both classically handsome and an incredibly smart boy. I know all my basic manners, plus some awesome tricks—I can spin, dance, and even jump through hoops! I used to be an "only child" who went on every hiking trip, vacation, and patio outing. Lately, my home has gotten very loud and busy with two human toddlers. Even though I am very gentle with them, the noise makes a sensitive guy like me pretty nervous. I've even had a few potty accidents because of the stress. (A shockingly rare thing for me.) So I'm ready to find a peaceful, adult-only or low-traffic home where I can be the center of attention again. I am wary of strangers and don't care for other dogs, so I really need an understanding adopter who will protect my boundaries and let me bond at my own pace. Once I know you, I will fill your life with loyalty, accompany you on fun hikes and excursions, and provide endless lap cuddles. Could you be my perfect match?
