Story
Meet Pilot, a striking and highly trained Belgian Malinois with a whole lot of heart and an even bigger desire to be by your side. This brilliant girl has all the qualities Malinois lovers cherish—sharp intelligence, eagerness to please, and a bond-with-her-human energy that’s truly unmatched. Pilot is fantastic with people and absolutely thrives on attention, structure, and shared activity. Whether she’s showing off her training, going for a long walk, or relaxing at your feet after a busy day, Pilot is happiest when she’s part of your world and working as a team. Pilot does need to be the only animal in the home, as she doesn’t get along with other pets. But what she offers in return is unwavering loyalty, affection, and dedication to her person. If you’re looking for a well-trained, loving, and exceptionally smart companion who will stay right by your side through every adventure, Pilot is ready to take the lead—and fly home with you.

Carter

Boxer Mutt

Male, Adult
North Port, FL
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Carter is a sweet, lovable, and fun dog. He is very calm if you give him time to play and run around. He is now 6 years old, but he has a young soul and needs someone who will be able to give him time, love, and lots of cuddles. He does pull on a leash, so some training would be required to get rid of that behavior. Carter has a strong prey drive so he CANNOT be in a home with small animals or infants, but small dogs and kids who can crawl/walk are fine. I do not know if this behavior can be trained out of him. He tends to struggle with separation anxiety so chew toys are ideal, I can provide some. Ultimately, he is a very good and lovable dog, our schedules are just to busy to give him the life he deserves.

Bertha

Rottweiler

Female, Adult
North Port, FL
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Not good with cats, Needs special attention, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
This is Bertha. She is 3 years old. She has hip displasia and arthritis in her knees. Right now she isn’t in any kind of pain but her quality of life is expected to worsen with her condition. To create longevity in her health, it’s best to get her on a nutritional diet supporting joint & bone health. But when I say this doesn’t affect her in the slightest I mean it. She likes to play just like any other dog. So, it would be up to you to limit her physical activities & duration because she will push herself beyond what her body can do. This girl is full of love and does very well with other dogs. She is so affectionate and sweet! She is completely house/crate trained (I will happily give you her orthopedic dog bed, crate and toys!) and she even knows a few tricks! There’s something special about Bertha. Her personality is one of a kind you’ll find yourself laughing at the little things she does. Please apply to meet her & see for yourself !
