Story
Zeke is such an amazing dog - we adopted him from a shelter 2 years ago in Minnesota and he has been such a wonderful member of our family since then as we moved down to Florida. He is about 5 years old.  Zeke is mostly black lab but is smaller than most labs - shorter and weighs about 50 pounds.  He is such a calm and gentle soul. He is quiet as a mouse, never barks, has never had an accident inside the home, loves to walk and get outside but is also content to be a couch potato and relax. He gets along great with other animals - he doesn't seem to have an aggressive bone in his body. We have two young girls and he has been an amazing 'little brother' to them - always playful yet so gentle. Zero incidents with aggression. We are looking for a new home for Zeke because our living situation has changed and we regrettably cannot afford Zeke the time and attention that he deserves at this time, so we have hope he can find a new home that will love this guy as much as we do.

Story
Emergency rehoming. Moose is a sweet, sleep old man who will spend his time cuddled up next to you. He loves his toys and to romp around but prefers to spend most of his time in bed in his old age. He does need patience and guidance , but he has been the love of my life and will definitely be for his next family. I never expected to get sick at 26 and no longer be physically able to care for him. It breaks my heart beyond words. But i want and have been told that the best thing for him is to find him a family that can give him loving last years, even if that can no longer be me

Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Hannibal is a 4-year-old male, blue-nose pit bull. (08/2020) He was rescued from a fence in Georgia and is currently in Florida with us now. Hannibal has always been a great listener, he does commands like lay, sit, paw or shake(either paw), gentle, kiss, and if you say I love you in the right way he howls trying to say it back to you. We think he would be best for a household without kids, and not a lot of other dog competition, (he has a French Bulldog brother currently), they play a bit ruff together, but its all love. Hannibal is 85lbs and likes to play & will make someone a great soul mate, or best buddy, he is very loyal to his human. We wish circumstances were different, but we can't keep him, we have to move and he deserves the best, and we want to find him a good forever home.
