Story
Senior dog seeking a calm, adult-only home. Our beloved pup, who will be 10 on October 10th, has been with us since he was 5 weeks old. He’s a sweet, gentle dog who loves walks and cuddles but is becoming increasingly uncomfortable around our toddler. He has never bitten, but we know he needs a safer environment without kids. If you can offer a quiet, loving adult home, please reach out.

Story
Meet Bear, a striking, intelligent, and affectionate 5-year-old Australian Shepherd and German Shepherd mix who is ready to find a forever home where he can thrive. Bear is beautiful, smart, crate-trained, and full of energy. Bear has been raised around other dogs, including small breeds, and gets along well with them. He has excellent herding instincts and needs space to run, so a home with a fenced yard is ideal. Bear loves to play, is very loyal, and thrives with active owners who understand shepherd breeds. We’re rehoming him because we travel often now and want him to have the consistent love and attention he deserves. Although we are not asking for a rehoming fee, we ask for a proof of donation to any shelter of your choice for any amount. We’ll also be doing a background check to ensure he finds a safe, loving home. He’s an amazing dog and deserves the best.

Story
Neo is an approximately 3-year-old black lab mix that came to us from a high kill shelter in eastern Florida. Neo is the sweetest boy, with the normal lab personality (even though he is a little small for a lab). He loves all people and dogs and just wants to be your partner in crime! He appears to be housebroken, but we will know more as he settles into his foster home. He is getting neutered on 28 April 2026 and will be ready to go home after!

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Are you the type of person who wants a dog, but you're more of a cat person? Do we have the dog for you! Sweet sweet Belle is a one year chihuahua that entered into a high kill shelter and was absolutely petrified. She sat in a corner shaking. We were asked to come get her, and she has been with us a few days now and is just now starting to come out of her shell. She is extremely leery of people, but can be bribed with treats. She is going to need a patient adopter to teach her that people are not all that bad. Her adoption application can be found at www.mysaltydog.com. She is being spayed on 28 April 2026 and will be ready to go home after!

Story
Poor Blossom! Blossom is the sweetest 6-month-old puppy that you'll ever meet. She also unfortunately attacked by something, which led to her leg being amputated at the shelter. We could not let her recover there, so came in and got her out as quickly as possible. Despite what she has been through, she could not be sweeter. Everyone that meets her loves her and wants to take her home! While she gets along fine on 3 legs, Blossom is looking for a home that understands her challenges and is willing to work through them with her as she ages. Her adoption application is at www.mysaltydog.com and she is located in Brevard County, FL.
