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.

FREEPORT, FL
Size

Details
Good with dogs, Good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Meet Fred, great with cats, dogs, and small animals. At 10 years, he has finally lost that Jack Russell energy and is happy to relax on the porch. He obviously had a rough life before he came to Alaqua as xrays show a healed broken femur and fibula. He has a few other conditions to be managed but I think once you meet him, you will feel it is worth it. He's a sweet older dog and would love his own soft bed (or lap) to spend his retirement years.

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Howie and Herold are in a wonderful foster home. This is what their foster family report: Howie and Herold got groomed today by a mobile groomer. She was amazing and they both were so well behaved. They look amazing! Howie is hard of hearing so his brother Herold helps him when we announce dinner time, and when its time for walks (which they both enjoy. ) Herold doesn't have good vision so his brother Howie leads the way. They don't love being in crates so they have free reign of the house and do very well. Howie is not a fan if sleeping alone so we created a pillow barrier to perfect him from falling off, he sleeps like a baby. These two pups are very bonded so they need a home that both are welcome.

Her past is in the past and she is ready to move on to bigger and better things!
