Story
Adoption fee is FULLY WAIVED thanks to an anonymous donor!! Free, non-binding application must be submitted to secure an appointment at www.gofar.dog under "Adopt”!Hi I'm Tahoe! I'm a very good boy who landed at an over-capacity county shelter thru no fault of my own. Thankfully, Guardians of Florida Animal Rescue pulled me from that shelter and gave me the medical and general care I needed to be ready for my forever home. I appear to be a pointer and/or cattle dog mix estimated at around 2 years old, and recently weighed in at just over 50 lbs. I am friendly with dogs and people at the rescue. My one lingering issue is that I tested heartworm-positive and am currently undergoing treatment using the "slow kill" method, which will have to be continued by my adopters by administering oral meds. My rescue will cover the expenses for those medications and retesting until I test negative, which will happen in due time.My adoption fee has been fully waived thanks to a generous sponsor! I am up to date on my vaccines, neutered, dewormed, and microchipped, and ready to find my new home! If you are interested in adopting me, please complete an application at www.gofar.dog under Adopt. If you encounter any issues with our website, please email adoptions@gofar.dog.If you have questions, email my rescue at adoptions@gofar.dog. If you'd like to experience all the love I have, and want to make me part of your family, please complete the adoption application by pasting this link into your browser: https://service.sheltermanager.com/asmservice?account=sm2546&method=online_form_html&formid=21

Story
Hi I'm Sherbert! I was part of an adorable group of 8 pups that were abandoned at the county shelter in great need of medical attention. We were taken in by Guardians of Florida Animal Rescue where I was adopted 2 years ago. Unfortunately, my owners could not take care of me anymore so I was returned to the rescue.I am now around 2 years 8 months old as of early December. I have a coat similiar to a retriever, but am a smaller size- weighing about 45lbs full grown. I am housetrained- we just need to communicate and establish a proper schedule. I have been non reactive with other dogs and don’t even mind the rescue cats, but please bring existing dogs to the meet and greet with you so we can meet before adopting. I walk great on leash and know my basic cues like sit/down/stay. And I like to play fetch and will even greet people with a handshake!My adoption fee is $450 and includes vet check, deworming, up to date shots, microchip and neuter (all done). If you are interested in adopting me, please complete an application at www.gofar.dog under "Adopt" at your earliest convenience.If you have questions, email my rescue at adoptions@gofar.dog.

Story
Hello, I'm Lorenzo! My family and I were turned in to a local county animal services because our owners couldn’t take care of us anymore. It was so loud and scary! Thankfully, we landed at Guardians of Florida Animal Rescue where we received all of the general and medical care we needed to be ready for our forever homes. My sibling Luca is also looking for home - we are so excited for our new chapter! I am around 14 weeks old as of the end of November and appear to be a full chihuahua (I don't have any of those papers humans like, so can't be guaranteed). I am small and it appears I will stay small- probably under 10lbs full grown. I am playful and sweet with everyone and everything I have met and have the most beautiful blue eyes. My $650.00 adoption fee includes vet exam, up to date vaccines, deworming and microchip -all already done. It also includes my neuter when I get a little older at one of my rescue's vets in Fort Myers, Port Charlotte, Naples or Orlando.
