Story

Hi, I'm Flynn — and honestly, my story started a little rough. I was found running loose on the streets of Jacksonville with no chip, no ID, and no one coming to claim me. But here's the thing about me: I land on my feet. Or, well, all four paws. It took me a beat to trust my foster family, but once I did? Completely smitten. I'm a leashed-walk enjoyer, an other-dog tolerator, and a genuinely sweet boy who just needed someone to give him a chance. That someone might be you. My Ideal Home I'm good with other dogs and do well with both men and women. I just need a family that's patient with me during the "getting to know you" phase — I'm a little shy at first, but I warm up fast and I'm worth the wait. A Few Important Things to Know Heart murmur: A heart murmur was detected during my intake exam. It hasn't slowed me down, but my forever family should be prepared for regular vet monitoring and the possibility of future cardiac care. A vet visit shortly after adoption is a must. Fatty tumor: There's a benign fatty lump on my back leg — common and not currently a concern, but worth keeping an eye on with your vet. Working on my figure: I came in a little fluffy. A healthy diet and those leashed walks I love should help me get to my ideal weight over time. What I Bring to the Table Someone caught me running loose, someone drove to get me, someone opened their home to me — and I rewarded every single one of them with sweetness. That's just who I am. I was a little nervous at first, sure. But give me a minute and I will show you exactly who Flynn is: a gentle, loving, good-with-dogs boy who just wants a soft place to land. Permanently this time. If you know I'm your forever pup, fill out an adoption application at daretorescue.org/adoption-application — and don't forget to put my name on your application! Can't adopt but want to help?

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Needs special attention, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

This is Luna. She is a 9-year-old Dachshund/Chihuahua/Yorkie mix with the sweetest little heart. Luna is truly a love bug. She loves to cuddle, be close to her people, and spend her days soaking up affection. She is house trained and would make a wonderful companion for someone looking for a loyal, gentle, snuggly girl. Luna does have a low thyroid condition, so she will need a home that is able to provide her with the special care and attention she requires. Unfortunately, due to changes happening in my life, I no longer have the capacity to care for her in the way she deserves. This decision has not been easy, and my biggest priority is finding Luna a loving home where she will be cared for, cherished, and given the time and attention she needs. Please reach out if you or someone you know may be able to give Luna the safe and loving home she deserves.

Story

Milo, 2 yrs old (01/06/24), born in NY, he’s neutered, but as a first time dog mom I didn’t know how important it is to socialize him, and being that I am in school and working, I cannot have him the majority of the time in the crate, I find it so sad. He loves to play catch, he learned “sit” and “stay”. We take long walks, the pulling occurred when he sees a cat or another dog, wants to charge at them. With ppl he is very protective, so we try not to be near other humans.He needs a family with a yard, he loves to run, he needs someone with more time than me, to be able to keep up with his training. He hasn’t bitten anyone, but I haven’t given him the space or time to be able to mingle either. I love this dog so much! He is the sweetest most loyal dog I’ve ever met. It crushes my heart to give him up, but I cannot afford boarding nor want to leave him in a cage so many hours. Please, if u have time and space, and most importantly a loving heart…reach out to us. Thank you

Ace has been a member of our family for five years. We got him from the shelter. He is an extremely loving dog. He does have separation anxiety, and he whines whenever I or the kids leave the house. He’s the best dog I’ve ever had, though. He’s very sweet and we’ll lay in bed with you all day if you let him.
