Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Blue Tigger Needs a New Home Meet Blue Tigger, a 4½-year-old boy who is deeply loved by his family. Due to extenuating circumstances completely beyond their control, they are facing the heartbreaking reality of having to find him a new home. His owners are absolutely devastated. This is not a decision they ever wanted to make, but they are putting Blue's well-being first and desperately hoping someone will open their heart and home to him. Blue is a big, handsome boy weighing 92 pounds. He is neutered, up to date on vaccines, healthy, and full of love. His favorite things include blueberries, bananas, Milk-Bone treats, and snuggling up with his people at night. If you're looking for a loyal companion who wants nothing more than to love and be loved, Blue is your guy. Despite his size, Blue is a gentle soul. He is good with other dogs and has spent his life as a cherished family member. He doesn't understand why his world is changing, and our hearts break for him as he faces an uncertain future. Blue is approximately 40% German Shepherd and 40% American Bully, but more importantly, he is 100% devoted to his people. Blue is crate trained, potty trained. He walks well on a leash, although he's strong so he pulls a bit. Blue is a very smart boy. he's good with dogs and didn't mind our cat Slate at all. Right now, Blue needs a miracle. He needs a foster home or, even better, a forever family willing to give him the stability and love he deserves. Every day that passes is another day his family worries about what will happen to him. Please, if you can't foster or adopt, share this post far and wide. The right person may be just one share away from seeing Blue and changing his life forever. Let's help this beloved boy find the happy ending he deserves. Foster needed. Forever home needed.

Story

Male - 1 year - 65 lbs - Microchipped - Neutered - OHHi there! My name is Jace and I am a 1-year-old, 65 lb neutered male. I am already housetrained and crate-trained. I am currently crated when I am left home alone. I am a sweet boy with my foster parents, though it took me a while to warm up to them. I’ve spent most of my life in a kennel environment so living in a home with people was a new experience for me and I am very shy with new people. I have started seeking affection and enjoying pets from my foster parents and discovering how great it can be! I’ll need a patient, calm adopter to help me grow more comfortable around people. I love other animals and will require a confident canine sibling in my home to help show me the ropes! I have also been around cats without issue so could have kitty siblings also. I love toys and bones! Any kind of stuffy toy that I can gently carry around is great, and I will also play tug with other dogs with a rope! I ride well in the car and only pull slightly on lead. I take food gently and would love a family who will continue my socialization so that I can grow into my most confident self! I have been learning to come to my foster parents when they call my name and know what it means to be “time for bed”! I am a sweet boy who is ready to find my perfect adoptive family—could that be with you? Follow me on Facebook: #EchoDogJace2025 For more information, please contact adoptions@echodogs.org.

Please contact Echo Dogs (adoptions@echodogs.org) for more information about this pet.Male - 2 Years - 76 lbs - Microchipped - Neutered - FLBIO Hello! My name is Monty. I am housetrained and crate trained. Although I will not touch anything when you leave, I will try to follow you out the door. That’s why my foster mom crates me when she goes out. I love everyone I meet and really like all the attention I can get. I’ve met a lot of different dogs and I know how to play with them, even the smaller ones. I didn’t do so well with cats.I like playing with squeaky toys. I don’t know how to play fetch, maybe you could teach me. I like going for car rides. I know my basic commands. I like training and learning. After all, I am still a very young guy. I am extremely loyal. If I’m busy and you call me I will come. I just don’t really like when you leave.I would like a home that has a well settled canine companion and a good, structured routine. I like to know what to expect. I’d like to go on walks and adventures with some routine playtime. I just want to be loved and give you snuggles all day long. So do you want some snuggles from me?
