Story
🐾 Meet Aiko: Professional Couch Acrobat & Nature Explorer 🐾 Aiko is a 7-year-old black and white terrier mix with a heart as big as her smile. Shes beautifully trained and happiest when running free on off-leash walks in the woods, but shes just as content curled upside down on the couch, snoring like she doesnt have a care in the world. Aiko is wonderful with cats and adores people, but she needs to be the only dog in the home so she can soak up all the love and attention she craves. Letting her go is not easy;she deserves a home where she can be the center of someones world, a best friend, a hiking partner, and a snuggle bug rolled into one. If your heart is open to giving Aiko the forever home she deserves, please reach out. Shes ready to give her whole heart to someone who will love her as much as she loves them. 💙🐶 Highly trained ✅ Great with cats ✅ Other dogs ❌ (lts me or them, human; Aiko) Shes a one-dog show, and shed love to make your home her stage.

Phoenix

Plott Hound

Female, 2 yrs 7 mos
FREEPORT, FL
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Phoenix is affectionate, incredibly smart and highly observant, quickly picking up on human body language and responding well to cues. While she can be a bit mouthy, she never bites down, making her best suited for a home with older teens or adults. She already knows “sit” and “lay down”. Food-motivated and eager to please, she responds wonderfully to treats during training. On walks, she’s a dream—obedient, focused, and always looking to her handler for direction. High-energy and full of enthusiasm, she thrives on both mental and physical stimulation. She loves to chew and use her teeth appropriately with enrichment toys, but she can struggle to settle without activity or reassurance, benefiting from a calm and confident human presence. She’d do best in an active home committed to ongoing training and engagement.

Redwood

Mixed Breed (Medium) Pointer

Male, 11 yrs 2 mos
FREEPORT, FL
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Redwood is a sweet senior with a big personality and an even bigger heart! He’s mostly housetrained as long as he gets his morning outing on time. A true social butterfly, he loves being around people and making new friends — though his hearing isn’t what it used to be, so he tends to “talk” a little louder than most. This charming old man adores soft beds, cozy toys, and especially his beloved squeaky toys. Redwood is ready to bring warmth, laughter, and love to a home that appreciates the joy of a golden-hearted senior pup.

Story
Meet Maizy, a big-hearted single lady searching for a family to call her own. She’s incredibly affectionate and needs to be within sight of her person at all times—she just loves being close! Maizy is housetrained, great with other dogs, and adores people, though she sometimes forgets her size when showing affection. She’s a gentle guardian who only barks when there’s a real reason to. While crates aren’t her thing (she’s made that very clear), Maizy does well when left alone—she doesn’t chew or destroy anything, though her pacing might rearrange a bit of furniture. Loyal, loving, and full of personality, Maizy is ready to fill her forever home with devotion and companionship.
