I obtained her on Xmas eve when she was 5 weeks old. She is AMAZING & super smart. I recently got in a relationship with a man who does not like dogs so for her sake n mine I would much rather her be placed in a home where she is VERY very MUCH LOVED.

Story
His birthday is 1/19/19. He is a super lazy couch potato and will take up your entire bed if you let him. He will try to be a lap dog and sit in your chair next to you. He’s honestly one the best dogs I’ve ever had. He does amazing with the cats and 2 of my other dogs at home. He likes my baby too. I need to rehome him and his sister The Moo Bear unfortunately due to not enough time because of having a baby. But they do not have to be together and he could live in an apartment. I have 4 dogs and 3 cats including her and I need to downsize. I really don’t want to. I love them so much.

Story
She was born 1/19/19. She’s a very sweet and fun loving girl who loves to play chase. She needs a home, possibly by herself (with her brother) or with a cat. She’s great with my baby girl, even tries to play with her. I need to rehome her and her brother Wiggles the Piggles unfortunately due to not enough time because of having a baby. But they do not have to be together and she could live in an apartment. I have 4 dogs and 3 cats including her and I need to downsize. I really don’t want to. I love them so much. She’s a very strong protector so you’ll have to be careful with strangers, but she warms up very fast. I want her to have a good rest of her life and I feel that I can’t do that for her.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Touchdown for Team Aaron Pawdgers!  Looking to add a star player to your family? Aaron Pawdgers, a 6-year-old hound, is ready to tackle life with you and bring endless joy to your home! This sweet, goofy, and gentle guy has got all the right moves, whether it's following his nose to find a snack or hopping around in excitement when he sees his favorite people! Aaron is the kind of teammate you want on your side—loyal, affectionate, and always ready to play. He’s food motivated, which makes him an MVP for training, and he’s got a nose for finding success (or just the best-smelling dinner). His favorite times of day? Breakfast and dinner, of course! And while he’s not a fan of cold weather, Aaron stays active and loves a good run on the field (or in your backyard). Why Aaron’s the Top Draft Pick: Sweet and gentle: Aaron has been a total champ with people and dogs alike—no aggression here, just pure love. Food-fueled energy: He’s highly motivated by food, so teaching him manners is a breeze (especially when you use snacks as the playbook)! Active and playful: Aaron loves being on the move, but he’s also down for a couch touchdown after a fun day. Goofy personality: Aaron’s funny little hops when he’s excited will have you cracking up every time. Loves affection: He’s looking for a forever home with a lot of team spirit—someone who will shower him with love, attention, and a few belly rubs along the way! What Aaron Needs to Win: Patience and love: Aaron is ready to level up in his training, so a patient, loving owner who is willing to work with him on leash manners and potty routines will be key! A doggy sidekick or two: Aaron loves his canine teammates and would do best in a home with other dogs for companionship. A fenced yard: He’s ready to run the play and get some exercise in the backyard! No cats, please: He’s curious about cats but hasn’t quite figured out that they aren’t part of his team. A household with dogs or kids would be ideal! Fun Fact: Aaron is a nosey guy, and his curiosity often leads to funny and quirky moments you’ll have to see to believe! He’s also an expert at tearing up toys, especially if they’re fun to shred. And did we mention his hops? They’ll have you in stitches! Ready to Call the Play for Aaron? If you're ready to add an affectionate, goofy, and playful hound to your family, Aaron Pawdgers is ready to be your MVP! Whether you’re looking for a cuddly couch buddy or an active playmate, Aaron is here to score big in your life. Don't wait—this hound is touching down in your heart the moment you meet him!

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Kevin Pawstner – Beagle, Heartthrob, and Certified Scene-Stealer Looking for a pup with star power? Introducing Kevin Pawstner – a 2-year-old, 19 lb beagle with the heart of a hero and the zoomies of a firecracker! Found as a stray, this tenacious little guy is now stealing hearts in Northeast Florida. He recently stole the show on a local program, River City Live! Kevin is healthy, neutered, microchipped, and up to date on all vaccines—ready to leap into his next role as your loyal sidekick. He’s crate trained, mostly housebroken (occasional marking—he’s working on it!), and adores kids and most dogs. But sorry, no cats allowed in this action flick. He’s happy, energetic, and would crush agility or scent work. Just like his namesake Kevin Costner, he’s loyal, protective, and doesn’t take any guff—especially from dogs he doesn’t vibe with (cue dramatic growling scene). Adoption fee is $250. Home visits are required and non-negotiable. Adoptable through The London Sanctuary. Ready to add some blockbuster energy to your life?
