Story
Natia is a beautiful, happy young pup from Miami Dade Animal Shelter. Natia loves other dogs and people. Natia has shown no aggression with food, toys, treats or anything else. She’s house trained and enjoys her kennel. She’s a joy to be around! I rescued her from the shelter because she suffered frequent URI’s which prevented her from being able to be on the adoption floor. She’s a wonderful dog ready for her forever family! Since fostering, Natia has moved from Florida to Minnesota with us and she adores her K9 sisters and brother!

Story
Very loving boy. will need a fenced yard and tight known escape artist. Very gentle dog with humans and pets great temperament. He also has a sister named Raven who is the same. Very smart dogs and would hate to separate them. If you would be willing to consider a pair I would feel better about rehoming as this breaks my heart.

Story
This is Nebula, she is 3. She is housed trained, crate trained, loves toys, very vocal, she knows sit, focus, touch, leave it, drop it, wait, stay, spin, down, crawl. We have birds so she is used to them they all tease each other, never been with a cat, very interested in reptiles, and our bunny. When we got her we ere told she is not good with small animals at all. She would be best as an only dog. If you are serious in taking her I would like to have a meet up to make sure it works before just giving her to you. She has a 48 in crate, collars, leashes, harness, bed, bowls, clothes and toys! Let me know if you are interested or have any questions!

Story
Hello, I want to introduce you to Blu! She is a four-year-old Doberman who has been with her current family since she was 13 weeks old. We are in the very unfortunate situation of having to rehome our girl because of an allergy our 2-year-old daughter has developed with Blu's hair that is rather severe. Additionally, Blu has become overly protective of my wife and has growled at our daughter as well. Blu is a very sweet dog and loves HARD. She is a great guard dog and attaches to HER people. She loves to run and get outdoors, even in the hot Florida sun. She does need an experienced owner as she gets anxiety around other people until she builds trust and comfort. That anxiety comes out in the way of barking at strangers, especially in her house, which can be intimidating given her breed. She should be adopted by a family with only adults in the house. She's great at her daycare, but it did take her sometime to adjust to being with other dogs. Please ask us any questions!

Story
I rescued Blu about 9 months ago while on vacation and fell in love with him instantly. He’s estimated to be around 2 years old and is the sweetest, gentlest dog you could ask for. Blu loves people, enjoys playing with other dogs, and is an amazing cuddle buddy. He matches your energy—whether it’s an adventurous day at the park or a relaxing day on the couch, he’s happy just being with you. Blu is mostly house trained. If left alone for long periods, he may occasionally have an accident or find something to chew, so he’d do best with someone who has the time to continue working with him and provide plenty of toys and attention. This has been an incredibly difficult decision, but due to recent life changes, moving, and working long hours, I know he deserves more time and companionship than I can give him. I’m looking for a loving, permanent home where he’ll be treated like family and receive all the love he deserves.
