Story
Hi there. We found our sweet Rocco at my husbands job. There was a mama and about 8 puppies. We decided to take one. A boy we named him Rocco. We got him his first set of shots and had to get him dewormed. We have had him about a year. He is so smart, he is sweet, he is great with my kids and our other 2 dogs. But he is still so young and full of life with that being said with our jobs and our kids in sports we are just not home enough for him. We feel awful that we can’t spend the time we want with him. It breaks my heart but we can’t keep him. It’s not fair to him. I really hope we can find a good home for him to go too. Again he is so good with kids and other dogs. He is house trained and easy to train with commands.

Story
Very sweet and loving pitbull looking for a new home! I am fixing to have a baby within the next 2 weeks and really need to rehome her. Her name is Kai, she is great with children and other animals (cats and dogs). The vet says she is around 3 years old. She is 74lbs. She is spayed , microchipped, and just received her rabies shot for this year. Free, honestly just need to rehome her before newborn arrives. Please feel free to ask any questions about her that you may have.

Story
Coco just turned nine (9) years old on January 1st. I purchased her from Petland when she was 4 months old for my daughter’s 10th birthday. My daughter graduated high school and is now in college. I work 10 hour shifts so Coco is home alone for long periods of time and it’s not fair. She is house trained and listens well. Coco loves to play with the ball and needs someone who is a home body because she doesn’t like being alone.

English Bulldog

Palmetto, FL
Size

Story
Daisy is a 6 year old lilac tri-color English Bulldog and weighs in at about 62 pounds. She loves attention of any kind. She is very sweet and just wants to be with her person, whether that is sitting next to you, sitting on your lap or sleeping with you. She likes chewing toys, playing fetch, getting treats, going for short walks and nap time. She will jump up on people when excited, so little children must be warned of this. She is in good health and has no allergies. Daisy grew up with another dog in the home but we feel like she would be better as a single dog because she needs to have all the attention all the time. She has been house-trained and crate trained. Bulldogs are a lot of work and their care is not inexpensive. An experienced bulldog owner or good knowledge of the breed would be needed. Daisy is a pure bred and she comes with her papers.

Story
Callie was a rescue from Jacksonville human society. She is legitimately the sweetest kindest dog I have had the honor of taking care of. She is amazing with kids, people, and other dogs. She loves the dog park and listens to sit come and lay down. She is seriously my whole world but unfortunately with a new job opportunity I am unable to care for her the way she needs now and in the future. This job requires me to be on the road with little to no advance on when or where. This’ll be one of the hardest goodbyes of my life but would make it so much easier if I can find her a loving home. Thank you to anyone considering her and if you are able to take the right care of her she will be the best dog you’ll ever own.

Story
This beautiful girl needs a loving forever home. She was rescued from a bad situation. She ended up being pregnant with one pup. She loves cuddles and lots of affection. She has shown signs of aggression towards other dogs and cats. Vet said that may be due to her protecting her young. Thats still to be determined. She needs to know what it is like to be apart of a family. I can not keep her. I have two dogs of my own and everyone does not play well together. Keeping everyone separated and happy is a full time job and Im exhausted. I really want to find her a caring home. I DO NOT want to have to be forced to take her to a shelter. All the no kills are full🥹 Please adopt this precious girl and give her the life she deserves🙏🏻💕
