Story
Stella is a female dog seeking a new home with an experienced, adult-only owner—no children, dogs, or cats. She is loyal, intelligent, and builds strong bonds with her person. Stella is house-trained and thrives in a calm, stable environment, where she can be affectionate and relaxed.However, Stella has displayed aggression toward other dogs and has bitten a person in the past, becoming reactive in certain situations. For this reason, she must be the only pet and needs an owner experienced in dog behavior. Stella benefits most from clear boundaries, a consistent routine, and secure handling, especially leash control.Her ideal adopter understands behavioral challenges and is committed to ongoing training and safety management. With the right support, Stella is a truly amazing and loving companion.

Introducing Kevin Pawstner – a 3-year-old, 26 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, housebroken, and adores kids and most dogs. He is particular about his dog friends. 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. Fostered in Baker County, Florida. Ready to add some blockbuster energy to your life? Kevin Pawstner is ready for his forever home – could it be yours?Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.July 8, 2026, 3:41 am

Story
Meet Lexi - Speed, Smarts & a Whole Lot of Heart! If you blink, you might miss her… because Lexi is quite possibly the fastest dog at the sanctuary This beautiful black-and-white girl is a stunning mix of brains and athleticism. We suspect a blend of terrier and herding breeds (we think Rat Terrier / Border Collie vibes, maybe even a touch of Staffordshire), which makes her incredibly sharp, alert, and full of personality. Lexi is a true hunter at heart, curious about everything, always tuned in, always thinking. She would absolutely thrive with an active person or family who enjoys walks, playtime, and giving her little “jobs” to do. What makes Lexi special: • Lightning fast and super athletic • Very intelligent and quick to learn • Loyal and deeply connected once she bonds • Playful, curious, and full of life • Around 50 lbs of pure energy and love She’s the kind of dog who will keep you moving, keep you smiling, and keep you on your toes in the best possible way. And when the day winds down? That same energetic girl turns into a companion who just wants to be near her person. Ideal home: Lexi would do best with someone who understands active, intelligent dogs - someone who will give her structure, exercise, and engagement. She can be a couch potato also, she loves to snuggle with you and watch a movie. If you’re looking for a dog with personality, brains, and a spark that makes every day a little more exciting - Lexi might be your girl.

Meet Shadow - A Gentle Soul with a Heart Ready to Serve PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE POST BEFORE APPLYING. Some puppies are born to play. Others are born to make a difference. Shadow is an almost 6-month-old English Cream Golden Retriever whose calm, gentle nature makes him a good candidate for an Emotional Support Animal (ESA) or Psychiatric Service Dog (PSD). About Shadow: • House trained and well-mannered • Gentle, calm, and incredibly affectionate • Friendly with dogs, cats, and other animals • Intelligent and eager to learn • Loves being outdoors and exploring • Attentive and naturally focused on his handler • Crate trained and ready for family life Shadow has the best of both worlds. He's still a puppy, so he absolutely enjoys his silly moments! He loves racing around the yard, showing off joyful zoomies, and can even do an impressive 180-degree turns in the air when he's especially excited. Watching him play is guaranteed to make you smile. But when playtime is over, Shadow settles beautifully. He becomes calm, focused, and ready to learn. He genuinely enjoys having a job and thrives on working alongside people. Whether you're hiking a trail, relaxing on the porch, or simply spending time together at home, Shadow wants nothing more than to be by your side. He's looking for a family who will appreciate not only his playful puppy spirit, but also the remarkable companion he's growing into. If you're searching for a loyal best friend, a future therapy or service dog prospect, or simply one of the kindest Golden Retrievers you'll ever meet, Shadow may be exactly who you've been waiting for. 🐾 Available through Purple Passion Animal Sanctuary https://adopt.cuddly.com/form/3212062268 📹 A home video tour is required as part of our adoption process to help us ensure every puppy is placed in a safe and loving forever home.

Story
Open to sanctuary optionsNEED TO REHOME ASAP Experienced with dog behavior recommencedI am looking to rehome Zeus to someone preferably with a house and yard. He enjoys playing with other dogs, exploring outside or simply cuddling on the couch with a fuzzy blanket. Even tho he comes with a little extra care instructions for his itchy allergies, he loves his oatmeal bath time. I’ve been his mommy for 6 years but after life took an unexpected turn I’m not able to afford to take him where I’m moving.Zeus turned 8 this year so he just needs somewhere he can wind down in peace. He requires a little extra patience when it comes to walks or going to the vet, but he’ll make it up to you with extra cuddles and just being goofy.

Story
PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE BIO. AN APPLICATION IS REQUIRED. Hi Everyone! I’m Willow ❤️🐾 I am a Catahoula Leopard Dog from a working line. I am a beautiful, red and white color,with striking blue eyes, as you can see in my pictures. I am also deaf, and because I am deaf, the people who had my mom and dad couldn’t use me to work, so they were going to shoot me!!! I was just a baby and I knew I could be a great dog one day. I didn’t know why they didn’t want me. Thankfully, my foster mom heard about what was happening and took me away from those people and has been helping to raise me and keep me safe and happy. I am full of puppy energy and I love to play. I have a foster brother who keeps me on my toes and my older foster sister who would be happy with a little less of my energy. I have been around different dogs and a cat and I love them all. 😉Cuddles and affection are my favorite way to relax. I may be deaf, but don’t let that fool you— I am really smart, adaptable, and ready to learn with a patient, loving family who will help me thrive. My foster mom said that a lot of dogs don’t listen well, and have something called selective hearing and people can train them, so hopefully they will train me too! My foster mom says that we would love to find someone with experience training and it would be amazing if someone has experience with training deaf dogs. She says that it’s OK as long as they are the right people and that we have a trainer that can help the right family. My birthday is January 10, 2026, so I am almost 5 months old and I already weigh 28 lbs. I think I am going to grow up to be big and strong like my foster brother. I can’t wait to find my forever home so that I can be the dog I am meant to be! I’m so happy that my foster mom gave me a chance. I am spayed, current on vaccines, microchipped and current on flea and heartworm preventative. Please email petadopt@hotmail.com for an application for me. Thank you for reading about me!
