Story
Scout is a sweet, cuddly 8-year-old mixed-breed rescue looking for a new home. As our family has grown with a 1- and 4-year-old, we’ve realized we can’t give Scout the time, space, and attention he deserves. He would do best in a home with older kids and is not a good fit for an apartment. Scout is happiest curled up close; he loves laying in your lap, resting his head on you, and soaking up endless head and butt scratches. He’s a laid-back companion who enjoys sleeping most of the day, going on a long afternoon walk, and playing fetch during his evening zoomies. He knows all his basic commands and walks well on a leash, though he is leash-reactive around other dogs, so a home with a yard (rather than an apartment) would suit him best.

Story
Rehoming this sweet girl because of my busy schedule. She is a Rottweiler however the vet said she may be mixed with something. I got a puppy for the wrong reasons thinking I could take care of her even though I work 40 hour weeks. This absolutely hurts me but it is wrong to keep her. She is completely up-to-date on shots and vaccines. Just got everything today. 01/20/2026. She is 11 weeks old today as well. She is also leash trained almost potty trained and knows basic commands and has also started training classes and is very smart. I need her out by this week somebody please take her. there is a fee because I did pay 2600 for her.

Story
We adopted and got provided professional training for her. She is exceptionally well-mannered, obedient, and gentle, with no destructive habits. She responds reliably to basic and advanced commands, walks off-leash, and recalls instantly. Wonderful with children, she adores other dogs and delights in daily walks. We seek a loving, active home ideally with another dog for the companionship and engagement she thrives on.

Story
Meet Theodore, aka “Mr. Sweetie,” is a friendly, affectionate 5 year old dog who truly loves people. He’s well-mannered, basic command trained (sit, paw, down, stay), even enjoys showing skills by catching treats mid-air. Theo thrives on attention and cuddles and makes an excellent companion whenever you may need comfort. A backyard would be a dream for him, he loves sunbathing and outdoor time, he even enjoys the pool and beach but he’s just as happy relaxing on the couch during a quiet night in. He does great with kids, enjoys car rides, loves his stuffy toys. With professional guidance from an experienced trainer, he has the potential to be successfully socialized with other dogs as he had not gotten a chance to since time in the shelter. Theo is in need of stability in a home and some time well spent bonding. He comes with plenty of toys, accessories and food. He is approved and comes with documentation for apartments/housing.

Story
Meet Obi @ Humane Society Clearwater A Sweet, Smiling Gentleman, 70lb blue nose pit bull with a chubby, cuddly face and a mellowed-out vibe. My foster mom says I’m a “starfish” because sprawling out on my stomach is my signature move—and honestly, she’s not wrong. I’m a kind-hearted, affectionate boy who lives for the good things in life: food, attention, walks, and especially car rides. I’m excellent in the car and love people-watching—beach trips? Yes please. Why Obi is impossible not to love: Sweet, gentle, and people-obsessed every human makes my tail wag Smart and eager to learn—I pick things up quickly and try my best to follow the rules. Playful in a fun, respectful way sometimes I just can’t resist a little mischief. Loves gifts and shows appreciation with the cutest smiles—even in my sleep. Loyal and affectionate—I just want a buddy to share life with. Obi would thrive with someone looking for a best friend + his heart is as big as his smile, Obi is ready to meet you.

Story
**Please read before sending an application**Chance is a loving dog but needs a parent to give him a lot of attention. As far as we know he could be good with other dogs & cats. We have tried meet & greets and he just barks. I would not recommend young children, we have a 3 year old great grandson and he is so strong, kids are quick and he jumps, not meaning too, just trying to play too. Chance is not neutered! As this could be a reason for many things. He does have allergies, or nervous anxiety inching. We just cannot afford medications for him. We also live in a 55 older community & it is hard with the leash law to allow him to run as he should be able to, we take him to the dog park when able. He needs a fenced yard to run and play. He is crate trained, house and lease trained. Chance is still young and could be the best fur baby. He is loving, loyal, a handsome boy and loves attention, We took him in to adopt from a friend. As he grew we couldn't keep up with his needs as needed
