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.

Story
Hi my name is Lady - I'm a very sweet and adorable girl estimated at around 2 years old and last weighing in at around 30 lbs. I landed at the county shelter with my very young puppies. It was a very scary time as we all caught an upper respiratory infection and needed to get to the ER fast for medical attention. Thankfully Guardians of Florida Animal Rescue answered the urgent plea to help my little family, rushed us to the ER and I and my 3 surviving puppies were saved! We are all healthy and happy and ready for our forever homes now! My breed is a bit of a mystery - I could have some Carolina dog in me and I also resemble a smaller shepherd. Not sure, but whatever my mix is it's a good one!My $250 adoption fee includes all of the care I needed to get healthy, vet exam, up to date vaccines, spay, heartworm test (negative), deworming and microchip. If you are interested in adopting me, please complete a free, non-binding application at www.gofar.dog under Adopt.If you have questions, email my rescue at adoptions@gofar.dog.

Story
Hi I'm Cantiflas! I'm a little 16lb scruffy guy estimated at 2-3 years old who was abandoned and found trying to survive on my own. I was in ruff condition and very scared, but over the past several months I have learned to trust humans and came out of my shell thanks to a wonderful foster family. I have been in foster now for the last month and here’s what my foster parents say “ Cantiflas is perfect in the house and has completely adapted to the environment. He gets along well with other dogs and even likes playing with the cat! He is skittish when meeting new people, but warms up fairly quickly.”My rescue can't be sure of my breed, but I look to be a border terrier/schnauzer mix, best guess. I have received all of the general and medical care I needed to now be ready for my forever home. 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 $350.00 adoption fee includes vet check, up to date vaccines, neuter, heartworm meds until a negative test result, microchip and deworming, all already done. If you are interested in adopting me, please go to www.gofar.dog and complete an adoption application.If you have questions, email my rescue at adoptions@gofar.dog.

Story
Hi I'm Benito! I'm a very sweet, good boy estimated at about a year old and weighing around 45 lbs. I endured a painful past in my short life. I was found lying in a field after being attacked by other animals and needed emergency surgery to piece my ear back together. That is all behind me now and I'm a happy, playful boy now! I am friendly with dogs and people at the rescue and quickly became a volunteer and staff favorite! 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.

Story
Hi my name is Ophelia - I'm a very sweet and adorable puppy! I'm estimated at 10 weeks old as of the end of December and weighing in at 10 lbs. I landed at the county shelter with my mama Lady and my littermates as a very young puppy. It was a very scary time as we all caught an upper respiratory infection and needed to get to the ER fast for medical attention. Thankfully Guardians of Florida Animal Rescue answered the urgent plea to help my little family and rushed me, my mama and my remaining 2 littermates Flower and Shadow to the ER to save our lives! We are all healthy and happy and ready for our forever homes now! My breed is a bit of a mystery - mama looks like a mini shepherd and/or Carolina dog at 30 lbs and we don't know who our daddy is. My rescue sees dutch shepherd and min pin as possibilities in my mix. Whatever my mix is, it's a good one! My $450 adoption fee includes all of the care I needed to get healthy, vet exam, up to date vaccines, spay, deworming and microchip.
