Howdy Partner! Looking for a bunkmate? Well city-slicker it's your lucky day cuz I am too! They call me "Cowboy" and I am da stuff real Cowboy movies are made from. I am gritty and tough-looking and, if I may add, devilishly handsome. I am da "John Wayne" of my breed. Now, calm down, before you say "yes", let me tell you about some of MY rules as a new bunkmate: I DONT: Drive, so you will have to drive me to all da dog parks, to da doctors and to all da special fun places. Work, so expect to see me on da couch watching TV or sleeping while you're paying da bills. Cook, so I will expect my chow rustled up and served to me daily. Clean, so if accidently make any messes, you be expected to clean up after me wid no yapping. And finally, I don't particularly like other yappers/dogs and small Hoomans/kids, so I will expect to be da only furball in your life and bunkhouse. (Hey, most cowboys ARE loners) I Will: Pull you all over da yard during walkies if you're not a strong and experienced Hooman. I am a very strong Cowboy! Play wid you in the back yard all day if you toss dat round plastic thingy in da air, dat is my favorite thing to do. I will love you unconditionally as only a dog can do, I will protect you wid all I have and be your forever side-kick; ready to roll when you are. So, what do you think? You want a real "Cowboy" in your life? Come down, bring your posse and rescue me. I will be waiting wid my saddlebag and my chow bowl to ride off into the sunset wid you. Adios and will see you soon Partner!

Blakey

Chihuahua Mixed Breed (Small)

Male, 5 yrs 7 mos

Port Charlotte, FL

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Blakey is a small black Chihuahua mix with a big personality and an even bigger heart — once you've earned his trust. He's goofy, affectionate, and absolutely devoted to his person, which makes him a truly wonderful companion for the right home. Blakey loves lap time, leashed walks, and making you laugh with his silly antics. He's a loyal little guy who will happily stick by your side and soak up every moment of your attention. That devotion also means he takes his role as your protector very seriously — he can be vocal and is known to resource guard his bed, so he'll need a patient adopter who understands small dog behavior and can work with him using positive, consistent guidance. Even once Blakey loves you, he'll always be honest about how he's feeling. If something bothers him, he won't hesitate to let you know — through his voice or a warning nip. He communicates clearly and on his own terms, and an adopter who respects those signals and responds with patience rather than force will get the very best out of him. Blakey isn't the type to warm up instantly — he needs time to feel comfortable in a new environment, and that's completely okay. With the right person, he blossoms into the sweet, funny, loving dog he truly is. If you have experience with small dogs and the patience to let him settle in on his own terms, Blakey just might be your new best friend.

Penny

Mixed Breed (Medium)

Female, 7 yrs

Port Charlotte, FL

Size

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

Details

Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Meet Penny 🐶 Penny is a 6-year-old girl who is fully house-trained and looking for a calm, committed home where she can be the center of attention. She prefers to be the only pet and does best when she doesn’t have to share her space. In kennel settings, Penny struggles with barrier reactivity and can come across as intense at first — lots of barking and growling — but this is all fear-based. Given time, patience, and a gentle approach, Penny completely transforms. Once she warms up, she is incredibly affectionate, loyal, and deeply devoted to her person. She is very treat-motivated and eager to please. Treats are the quickest way to her heart — one moment she’s unsure, the next she’s sitting politely with the softest puppy eyes you’ve ever seen. She also loves a good butt scratch once she’s comfortable. Penny is looking for someone willing to go slow, earn her trust, and see past first impressions. For the person who puts in the effort, Penny will be an unbelievably sweet and loving companion.
