Story

EXERCISE NEEDS: Daily Workout EASE OF TRAINING: Eager FRIENDLINESS WITH PEOPLE: Loves Everyone PLAYFULNESS: Party Animal FRIENDLINESS WITH DOGS: Selective LEASH MANNERS: Pulls Sometimes Meet Worcestershire Sauce (Worcester, for short!), a small, spunky, and totally goofy bully mix who is ready to spice up your life! This energetic boy is pure fun, famous for his irresistible wiggle butt and high enthusiasm for everything. He is highly food and toy motivated, making training a blast, and he already knows his basic commands! Worcester is good on the leash, perfect for adventures. What you need to know about Worcester: High Energy: He will need an active owner who can provide plenty of physical and mental exercise. Dog Selective: He should meet any resident dogs before adoption to ensure compatibility. He may do best as the only dog in the home. Safety First: Worcester is a door/gate rusher, so secure entryways and consistent training will be essential to keep him safe. Training Potential: He is super smart and eager to learn (and eat!), making him an excellent candidate for continued training. He is also possibly house-trained! If you are looking for a compact, goofy, high-drive companion, come meet the one and only Worcestershire Sauce!

Story

EXERCISE NEEDS: Daily Workout EASE OF TRAINING: Eager FRIENDLINESS WITH PEOPLE: Outgoing PLAYFULNESS: Semi-Pro FRIENDLINESS WITH DOGS: Social LEASH MANNERS: Pulls Sometimes Searching for Vault Hunters? Tiny Tina & Krieg are Ready to Deploy! In the world of shelter dogs, these two are Legendary Tier loot. Tiny Tina is a pint-sized powerhouse. She’s got the "Short Fuse" of a Boston/Bulldog mix—meaning she’s full of beans and sass! She is the boss of the duo and will defend her brother Krieg with everything she’s got. She’s a "people-person" through and through, though she prefers to keep her dog-friend circle limited to her brother. Krieg is a 2-year-old Bully mix who is essentially a giant marshmallow in a tough-guy suit. He lives for "Inner Peace" (naps with Tina) and "Frenzy" (actually just lust for treats and kisses). He is the ultimate "Emotional Support Big Brother." The Bond: They are a bonded pair who share everything: toys, snacks, and most importantly, the same bed. Seeing this big Bully mix and tiny Boston mix curled up together is enough to make any Vault Hunter’s heart melt.

Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

EXERCISE NEEDS: Daily Workout EASE OF TRAINING: Teacher’s Pet FRIENDLINESS WITH PEOPLE: Loves Everyone PLAYFULNESS: Semi-Pro FRIENDLINESS WITH DOGS: Social LEASH MANNERS: Pulls Sometimes Veni, Vidi, Vici! (I Came, I Saw, I Conquered Your Heart!) All hail Droolius Caesar! While his name might suggest a mighty emperor, this 4-year-old Lab mix is actually the gentlest soul in the kingdom. Droolius is the 'Perfect Package' you’ve been searching for. He has mastered the art of the leash and is a world-class fetch enthusiast. While he is a brave conqueror of tennis balls, he prefers a quiet, mature palace. The high energy and unpredictable 'small humans' of the kingdom can be a bit much for his sophisticated tastes, so he’s looking for a home with older children or adults only. If you’re looking for a dog who is already a 'good boy' through and through, Caesar is ready to rule your heart from the comfort of a soft sofa.

Skittles

Labrador Retriever American Bulldog

Female, 1 yr

Lakeland, FL

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

EXERCISE NEEDS: Daily Workout EASE OF TRAINING: Eager FRIENDLINESS WITH PEOPLE: Loves Everyone PLAYFULNESS: Semi-Pro FRIENDLINESS WITH DOGS: Selective LEASH MANNERS: Pulls Sometimes Meet Skittles, a one-year-old, 30-pound wiggle-butt dynamo who is ready to burst into your life with a kaleidoscope of energy. This high-octane girl is the definition of "toy motivated"—if there’s a ball or a squeaker involved, you’ll have her undivided attention and a front-row seat to her impressive athleticism. While she’s a total pro on the leash, she is young so Skittles is looking for a partner who can provide the consistent training she needs to reach her full potential. Skittles wears her history on her sleeve—or rather, her face and legs. The scars she carries suggest a tough past that explains why she can be choosy about her canine friends; she’s just looking for a space where she feels safe and protected. Once she knows she’s secure, her "tough girl" exterior melts away to reveal a world-class cuddlebug. Whether she’s zooming through the yard or curled up against you after a long day, Skittles is a resilient soul who just wants a soft place to land.

Moose

Shepherd (Unknown Type)

Male, 1 yr 1 mo

Lakeland, FL

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

EXERCISE NEEDS: Marathoner EASE OF TRAINING: Willing FRIENDLINESS WITH PEOPLE: Loves Everyone PLAYFULNESS: Party Animal FRIENDLINESS WITH DOGS: Tolerant LEASH MANNERS: Mush! If you’ve ever wanted to be hugged by a Shepherd-shaped cloud with the grace of a baby giraffe, meet Moose! At 1 year old, Moose is still very much a puppy—he just forgot to stop growing. Moose doesn't just play; he invests in it. He is a world-class body-slammer and a professional hugger who hasn't quite realized that he's no longer five pounds. He is the definition of "happy-go-lucky"—he’s having so much fun that he sometimes forgets things like gravity and personal space! He’s looking for an active family who doesn’t mind a bit of "collateral damage" in the form of happy tail-wags and enthusiastic jumps. Because of his size and "full-contact" play style, he is looking for a home with a patient leader who is excited about training. He’s incredibly smart and eager to please; he just needs someone to show him how to channel that Shepherd brain. Once he gets those big zoomies out of his system, he transforms into the sweetest, most loyal cuddle bug you’ve ever met.

Story

EXERCISE NEEDS: Now and Then EASE OF TRAINING: Capable FRIENDLINESS WITH PEOPLE: Outgoing PLAYFULNESS: Amateur FRIENDLINESS WITH DOGS: Social LEASH MANNERS: Almost Never Pulls Meet Chico, a charming 2-year-old Chihuahua with a heart twice the size of his tiny body. This little guy is the ultimate "people person"—if there’s a lap available, he’s already claiming it as his throne. Chico is a professional cuddler and a playful spirit who finds joy in every squeaky toy and friendly face he meets. While he’s currently a bit "extra to love," he’s looking for a dedicated partner to help him on his fitness journey; he’s a big fan of snacks, so he'll need a human who can swap the high-calorie treats for some healthy greens and plenty of playtime. Chico is looking for a forever home where he can truly settle in, and he’d be even happier if he could bring his best friend along!
