Story
Hello, I'm Cabbage Patch! I originally came to Marion County Animal Services along with my 6 puppies as an owner surrender. Unfortunately, after my puppies were old enough to get adopted, I developed a pretty severe case of mastitis, pneumonia, and esophageal strictures. Through all of that I never gave up! Now, I'm doing so much better and am ready to finally be adopted myself. I love people and am affectionate, sweet, and goofy. One of my doctors fostered me throughout my health journey and learned a lot about me. I love chasing balls, going on walks, and most of all getting snuggles.

Story
Meet ChiliChili is a sweet and sensitive dog who can be nervous when meeting new people, but once given time to feel comfortable, he begins to show his gentle and affectionate side. When approached slowly with soft conversation and treats, Chili gradually gains confidence and has allowed gentle pets. He responds well to a calm, patient handler and does best when given the opportunity to take things at his own pace.Chili would thrive with an adopter who understands shy dogs and can provide a calm, secure environment where he can decompress and gain confidence. He will need a securely fenced environment and continued positive, patient guidance as he learns to feel safe and comfortable.Because of his history with horses and chickens, Chili will need a placement with no access to livestock or small animals.Chili may not be the dog who runs up to you on day one, but give him patience, kindness, and a little time, and you may just earn the trust of a very special dog. He deserves someone willing to see the sweet dog underneath his nervousness and give him the chance to blossom.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Dina grew up in the rescue and is  housetrained. She picks up commands quickly, we are still in the process of haing her be comfortable in a harness and on a walk.     She loves to chew on toys, with some standing up to her better than others, but plush ones don’t stand a chance. She’s very active and needs another dog to play with. While she can be bossy, she backs down if the other dog asserts itself. Dina loves playing tag and is quite good at it.    She obeys when using hand signals, respects a water bottle, and has learned not to beg at the table. She hasn’t been around children, and it’s unclear if she’s ever even seen one. She is very loyal to her person, she loves to cuddle up to you and get attention or she will just hang out on the couch to watch tv.While leash training is a work in progress, Dina would thrive in a foster or foster-to-adopt home..  If you are seeking a dog to welcome into your family,  we invite you to consider her. While she may need time to feel comfortable with new people, her loving heart ensures she does not stay distant for long. Another dog in the home is requiredA fenced yard is requirement.She is a foster to adopt.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Tuck is still very shy around strangers, but once he gets to know them, he improves. He will need time to adjust to a new home and requires a household without children. He is housetrained and has learned not to beg at the table. No matter who is eating or where, he won’t approach unless invited. He has a big dog bark and will alert you when strangers are near. Once he trusts you, he’s incredibly loving and just wants affection—belly rubs are his favorite. He is also a talker and a groaner. All these characteristocs make him an adorable boy. He’s still resistant to the leash, but we believe he will thrive with the right foster family. Fenced yard is required and another dog is a must. Foster to adopt home and will be neutered before adoption.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.September 27, 2026, 4:34 am

Story
This is sunny! He is a Dutch shepherd I adopted from the shelter a few years ago, I adopted him with the intent that if he wasn’t the right fit for my home I would find a better home. He did not do well in the shelter and would pace in circles! He does well with some dogs but doesn’t get along with any intact males! Which is one of the reasons I’m rehoming him and he also needs to be with someone was has the time as he is a lot of dog! I have three working dogs and he is the most high strung and stubborn one. He still runs circle I don’t think that will ever change. He was definitely a dog that shouldn’t been in the shelter. He should not be in a home with kids or cats. Older kids or kids who know dogs boundaries would be okay! He doesn’t do well with cats but with someone who has experience with these type of dogs would also be fine! I have cats myself he has chased them and barks at them in his crate. He is also crate trained and he does have some allergies!

These pups are in Ocala, Florida too!

Hey, I'm Meek! I am a sweet boy that loves to get attention from people. I was surrendered by my owner because they didn't have a lot of time for me and I was just a little high energy for the child in the house. I would do great in a home where I could go on walks and play as a good outlet for that energy, 'cause after that I'm sure I would settle down better! I love toys, being silly, and can't wait to meet you!

Story
Hi! We are the Bread Puppies! Our mom, named Bakery, was surrendered to MCAS with us when we were really little. She raised us well and now we're in foster homes learning how to be great puppies! Mom is a beagle-ish/houndy mix who weighs about 50 lbs, we never met our dad but we are pretty hefty pups. We will probably be about 50-60 lbs at full grown. We're not sure what breeds we are either, definitely mixed breeds, through and through! Some of us look like hounds and some of us kind of resemble shepherd mixes, we're not really sure. But what we do know is that we are adorable and full of love that we are ready to share!

Story
Hello I'm Chester 💚 I'll be honest- I can be cautious when meeting new people. Life hasn't always been easy for me, so I just need a bit of time to feel safe. But once I trust you, I'm incredibly loyal and loving. I have great manners, walks nicely on a leash, and I love toys! I'm also housetrained and super food-motivated, which helps me keep learning and growing. I'd do best in a calm, adult-only home where I can be your one and only pet. I don't need a lot- I just need someone patient, kind, and willing to let me come out of my shell at my own pace.
