Story
Shadow is a sweet, resilient five year old boy who has endured more than any dog should. He was rescued from the streets of Puerto Rico and brought to Tampa Bay, where he finally experienced the comfort of a loving home. But after a crosscountry move triggered severe anxiety, he was surrendered, leaving his heart broken once again. For a moment, things seemed to turn around. Shadow was adopted by another family and began to settle in. But when his vision started to fade, his family chose not to seek answers and returned him to us. He came back overweight, with swollen ankles, and carrying the weight of yet another loss. We soon learned that Shadow has a thyroid condition. With medication, a healthy diet, and proper care, he is already improving and showing glimpses of the happy, playful pup he truly is. His vision changes may even be connected to this condition, and he is undergoing further evaluation to give him the best chance possible. Through every setback, Shadow has remained the same at his core: a loving, affectionate dog who simply wants to be close to his people. He deserves a calm, patient home where he can continue healing and finally be cherished for the incredible companion he is. Shadow has been let down too many times, but we believe his forever family is out there. Please help us find them. Share his story. Open your heart. This brave boy deserves the soft landing he has always needed.         ##2177020##

Story
Calling all our pointer lovers! How about a pocket pointer?! Our sweet German Shorthaired Pointer momma Hattie found herself at a very rural county shelter where, after nearly two months, she was given a euthanasia deadline. We are so thankful we were told about her, and we jumped at the opportunity to save her life! Hattie is estimated to be between 2-4 years old and was definitely a mother at some point in her life. She is the ultimate pocket pointer - a shorty weighing just under 40lbs. She is underweight and although she has gained some since she’s been with us, she still could use another 5lbs or so. Hattie is house trained and crate trained, but we don’t think she’d ever been on a leash before she joined the FSDA family. Thankfully she’s small, but she definitely needs an adopter willing to work with her on leash manners. She is great with other dogs, but cats and other small animals are a hard no for her. She has a very typical GSP prey drive and loves to hunt the rabbits in her foster family’s backyard, and when she is in hunt mode she has a tendency to turn her ears off. Hattie loves people and is a true Velcro GSP, so any potential adopters need to be prepared to have a shadow everywhere they go. Hattie is spayed, microchipped, up to date on vaccines and ready to go home. She is fostered in Charlotte County, Florida and her adoption fee is $400. If you think Hattie is the right Velcro addition to your family, please send us an adoption application at the link below or email us at info@flsportingdogalliance.org for more info! https://www.flsportingdogalliance.org/dog-adoption
