Story
ADOPTION APPLICATION: https://ufarescue.org/adoption-application My adoption fee is sponsored. Warrior  was found back in December on the side of a highway, very skinny, and dragging himself to the bushes. Unfortunately this guy had suffered a lot, and it is unknown what have caused the fracture on his back. He was tested positive for heartworm and thankfully we have done the complete treatment already. He is now finally neutered, cured, vaccinated, microchipped and all set to find a wonderful family to make him forget all the nightmare he had to endure in life. Warrior needs someone to teach him love! Someone that walk him at least 2 to 3 times a day on his wheelchair, and he can smell the flowers…He need to find love! Warrior would do better in a home where he is the only child, and only with adults. Since he cannot walk, makes him to be frustrated when there is too much noise, or other animals running around. A chance is all he needs. Shelter has become a sad and depressing place for him to be. ADOPTION APPLICATION: https://ufarescue.org/adoption-application May 9, 2024, 2:38 pm

Story
ADOPTION APPLICATION: https://ufarescue.org/adoption-application Kit Kat  It’s such a big bear! He is four years old, loves belly rubs and his favorite time is to walk outside and run with a ball. He is potty trained and is being trained with other dogs around, as he wants the full attention when is with you. KitKat’s best family is a home with adults that will be committed to provide him with exercises, continue to enrich his training skills being learned such as basic commands. He loves to learn! Basically someone that knows how to get a dog’s attention with a voice command and in a respectful way. He is a big cuddly guy and loves blankets. KitKat’s past is unknown before becoming a shelter resident, and he has shown fear inside the kennel, but never outside. Meaning he could have been abused while inside one. A good Samaritan found him on the side of the road, probably abandoned. Unfortunately his dogs didn’t get along, and in tears he surrendered KitKat to the shelter where he has been since October 2023.   ADOPTION APPLICATION: https://ufarescue.org/adoption-application May 9, 2024, 2:38 pm

Story
ADOPTION APPLICATION: https://ufarescue.org/adoption-application Mika is an absolute adorable female dog born on May 2022. Not only is she incredibly sweet, but she has all of her commands. She’s potty trained she gets along with cats, dogs and children. She walks on a leash, incredibly sweet. She loves car rides. She is the perfect dog. She loves to play she’ll play fetch and tug-of-war, and then she’ll cuddle with you. She would make an excellent family dog. We know Mika’s history as she started out in our Rescue as a puppy. She was adopted out to a lovely family, who was only given love, but unfortunately the owner is going into the military, and cannot take the dog with her. If you are looking for an incredibly special, wonderful, easy-going dog who is fully trained look no further!!! ADOPTION APPLICATION: https://ufarescue.org/adoption-application May 9, 2024, 2:38 pm
