Story
Hi, I’m Journey They say every dog has a story—and mine almost ended too soon. I was in a crowded shelter with very little time left, not because I did anything wrong, but simply because there wasn’t enough space. Then someone saw me—really saw me—and gave me the second chance I didn’t know I’d get. Now I’m safe, loved, and ready to find a forever home where I can truly belong. I’m about a year-and-a-half old, with striking blue eyes that people always stop to admire. I’m crate trained and housebroken, though if I’m moving into a new place, I might need a few extra breaks at first—new routines and spaces can take a little getting used to. I walk beautifully on a leash, and when I feel unsure or nervous, I’m great at listening and taking gentle redirection. When I meet other dogs on leash, I do really well. Inside the home, though, I can get a bit protective of my space, so I’d probably do best as your one and only, or maybe with a very calm and kind dog who helps me feel at ease. I just want to feel safe. My foster says I’m incredibly attentive and loving. I notice everything and love to stay close. I respond best to soft, gentle voices, and I really try hard to please. I’ve got a silly side too—they say I remind them of Scooby-Doo, and honestly, I kind of agree. When I want to connect, I’ll gently place my paw on your arm, like I’m saying, “I’m here, and I’ve got you.” It’s my little way of showing love. I’m okay with kids, especially if they’re quiet and kind. Sudden noises or loud voices can still scare me, and I’m working on being brave around things like passing cars. Sometimes I’ll jump up when I’m excited or nervous, so if that’s not your thing, I understand—just know I’m learning and trying my best every day. I’ve come so far already, and I’m proud of how hard I’m working. My foster is proud of me too. I just want a calm, patient home where I can keep growing and discovering how safe and beautiful life can be. And when I get a little scared? Well... sometimes I jump into your arms like Scooby-Doo. I’ve got a big heart that’s learning to be brave—one paw at a time.

Story
Apply to Adopt Me! Foster, Foster-to-Adopt, or Adopter Needed for Gouda.   Who couldn’t use a little more sunshine and happiness in their life? Gouda is an approx.10yo German Shepherd Dog ready for her retirement home. This sweet lady smiles with her eyes. Not only is she gorgeous, but our girl is a total sweetheart. Lil Rascals pulled her from the shelter as an owner surrender right before her euthanasia date. Those years of neglect are behind her and now she’s so ready for you to provide the love. She is so tail-waggy. Calm, quiet, housebroken and easy to take care of. She could stand to gain a little weight, and is currently around 56 pounds. She eats really well, but needs soft food (she’s been on a combo of soaked senior kibble and canned food, plus soft treats) because of her dental disease, which she is undergoing surgery for this week. She is perfectly crate trained and sleeps quietly through the night (and lots of naps during the day too). She will be happy to lay near you for Netflix and chill time. She seems dog friendly with larger dogs with slow introductions. She hasn’t been around small children but would probably be fine with respectful ones. She’s great with the teenager in her foster home. She moves a little slow, has arthritis in her hips and spine typical to the age and breed, and takes daily supplements. Single story living is necessary as stairs are difficult for her to maneuver. She does not need a fenced yard, but does like to sniff outside and come in pretty quickly, so a yard is required. Slow and short walks are best for her. We really can’t overstate how easy she is to take care of. Her foster mom gave her a bath with the water hose on a warm day and she loved it. She loved the water and being scrubbed. She’s super soft but definitely sheds and should be brushed regularly. She also might enjoy a swimming pool. She put her front paws on the top step before her foster intervened as it was much too cold, an she may need help getting out! If you live in the Central Florida/Orlando area and think you may have the perfect home for this special senior, please complete an application and tell us more about your family.

Story
Sasha is being fostered in PA. Sasha needs to be an only dog. She does not like active dogs Sasha can ONLY be adopted to a home with older children or all adults. Sasha is NOT good with cats. Sasha is spayed. Christmas time is here, soon a new year will dawn, and I’m still patiently waiting for my furever home and that special family to give me lots of love and belly rubs. I enjoy walks and will do OK without a fenced yard if you take me out on walking adventures. If you have a fenced yard I will run and play with you. I just enjoy the company of peeps. I don’t care to be with other dogs, just be by myself with my humans. I am a good girl in the house…unless you leave tasty morsels of food on the counter. Then I may just have to help myself! I know Sit, Down, am learning Wait, but I don’t really want to wait, hee hee. I also do pretty well on a leash. I’m still working on some other things like no jumping up on my peeps. I just want to greet and say Hi and give kisses and hugs to my peeps. BDRA has voted against the use of electrical fencing effective immediately.

Story
Bailey is a beautiful, active, working drive 4 year old German Shepherd mix. She is housebroken and gets along well with children, dogs and cats. She is very active and can play rough sometimes, so older kids who are comfortable with big, rowdy dogs would be best. She is very dog friendly but again very active and loves to play, so she would probably be too much for tiny, older, frail dogs who prefer a calmer companion - an active playmate that loves to rough house would be ideal. Bailey needs an active adopter with prior active breed experience that is ready to provide training and exercise outlets. She is a wonderful girl who will thrive with training and activity.  Adoption fee: $150 Bailey is spayed and current on all vaccines. Her adoption fee includes free dog training support and group classes, 30 days of free pet insurance through MetLife and a free bath and nail trim from Scenthound. All of our dogs live in foster families and adoptions are by appointment. Please fill out an application so we can get to know you better or call our office at 407-270-7074 for more information. ##2640962##
