Story
Appa is a 5 year old German Shepherd mix that my husband and I got in 2021 as a puppy. Our 1 year old child has severe allergies and our only option is to rehome. We also had to rehome our cat and our oldest dog (who is 9). Appa is great with kids and other animals. She is an anxious girl and visits a routine vet and sees a behavior specialist to help with her anxiety. She is currently on some medications to help her be her best self with the goal to reduce to one medication! She is currently in a foster situation as she needed to be re-located ASAP for our daughter’s health.

Story
Due to an unavoidable change in housing/lifestyle, I am seeking a loving family who can give her the time and attention she deserves. Clover is a sweet, devoted companion who thrives most when she has a close, one-on-one bond. She is searching for a home with a single woman who lives an active lifestyle and has plenty of quality time to dedicate to her. She thrives on quiet cuddle sessions / daily outdoor walks / lounging in sunny spots around the house and has a gentle, sweet personality once she feels comfortable. Finding the right home for Clover is our top priority. If you think your lifestyle and home would be a natural fit for her, please fill out an adoption application and we can go from there!

Story
Mel is the best dog I’ve ever owned or lived with (out of 10 other breeds throughout my life). He relaxes and sleeps when u relax, and has endless energy when needed (he has chased me on my scooter off leash for miles every day). He has a little shyness towards new people and is a little shaken, but this quality makes him perfect for off leash once he gets to know and love u. He won’t approach other people or children off leash but sometimes if he sees another dog having fun u have to call him to prevent interaction. He is extremely smart and affectionate, and just the perfect family dog all around. He may require a little space his first day in a new home but he will quickly become everyone’s best friend after that. Everyone I know has fallen in love with this guy and he has virtually no bad habits, he would be a wonderful addition to any home and deserves a better life then what I can offer him right now. I am an OTR truck driver and travel/work excessive hourso

Story
Hello,This is Rocko who was rescued from a shelter in South Florida. He is now 8 years old! He loves long walks and sometimes still takes off running…is very food motivated, loving and affectionate! He’s also independent and will just chill out by himself under the bed. I need to re-home this little guy due personal circumstances. Health wise he has always been healthy. He does have canine dry eye which is mitigated with gentile drops twice a day. The vet suggested surgery, but I opted out. Rocko needs a loving home and is a great companion. If you like to be outside and take long walks this little guy is the right fit. Please research Miniature Pinschers! They are the king of toy dogs for a reason. I ask that you be kind, as this is a difficult process. Thank you!
