With Cora you get more to love. She has occasional seizures but just needs to be soothed and held till it passes. Her most favorite things are lap sitting, eating, and going to bed. A great and loving companion who thrives on lots of love. She can sit and speak on command. If you are still she wants to have body contact.

Story
Samson has been my best friend since 2021. He is truly the sweetest boy in the entire world with so much energy! He is friendly, good with other dogs, and so cuddly. He is house trained, and crate trained. He loves to play fetch and tug-of-war. The only reason we are looking into rehoming him is because our family situation is changing and I won’t be able to give him the attention he deserves. He does absolutely great with older kids!If anyone is interested in taking him in, I am willing to provide his crate, all of his toys, his slow feeder bowl, his training collar, his harness and leash for walks. I just want him to go to a home that is gonna love him as much as I have.

Lakeland, FL
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Meet the shelter’s very own "Central Park" duo! Gloria, a spirited 2-year-old Husky/Shepherd mix, and Melman, a charmingly awkward 5-year-old Lab/Shepherd mix, are a package deal of goofiness just like their Madagascar namesakes. Whether they’re navigating the "wilds" of the play yard or just trying to figure out where their long legs are supposed to go when they sit, these two are guaranteed to keep you laughing with their quirky personalities and endearing clumsiness. Gloria brings that classic youthful energy and vocal Husky charm, while Melman provides the slightly more seasoned, "worried-but-happy" vibe that makes him so lovable. They balance each other out perfectly—where one goes, the other is sure to follow, usually with a wagging tail and a look of pure confusion about what’s happening next. They are a true pair of best friends who find comfort and confidence in being together, making them a ready-made family for anyone looking to double the love. If your home has enough room for two big hearts and a lot of goofy antics, Gloria and Melman are ready to "move it, move it" right into your life. They are looking for an adopter who appreciates the unique bond of a bonded pair and is ready for a lifetime of awkward cuddles and double the tail wags.

Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
This pet is is heartworm positive, but don't let that break your heart! We have a treatment plan ready to go and we are covering 100% of the costs at our facility. You bring the belly rubs, and we’ll handle the rest. EXERCISE NEEDS: Daily Workout EASE OF TRAINING: Eager FRIENDLINESS WITH PEOPLE: Outgoing PLAYFULNESS: Semi-Pro FRIENDLINESS WITH DOGS: Tolerant LEASH MANNERS: Pulls Sometimes Meet Sasha, a one-year-old Lab/Shepherd mix who is so incredibly sweet she probably should have been named "Sugar." This gentle "wiggle butt" originally came to us from Animal Control and is still searching for that perfect match. Sasha is looking for a "furever" family that truly understands the heart of a young dog—one who recognizes that she isn't just a pet, but a partner who craves mental stimulus, physical enrichment, and lots of love. Sasha is a top-tier cuddlebug who loves to lean her whole weight into you for a hug, making her a star Doggy Date candidate. She is a dream on a leash, knows her basic commands, and is likely house-trained. When she’s not busy being a lap dog, she’s a total toy enthusiast—whether it’s a durable hard toy, a fuzzy soft friend, or a classic tennis ball, she is highly toy-motivated and ready to play. If you have the time to keep her smart mind busy and her heart full of affection, Sasha will reward you with a lifetime of sweetness.
