Story
Shadow is a sweet, resilient soul who has endured more than most dogs should in his five years of life. Rescued from the streets of Puerto Rico, he found his way to Tampa Bay and was given the gift of a loving home. But after a cross-country move triggered severe anxiety, Shadow was surrendered—his little heart broken once again. For a while, things looked brighter. Shadow was adopted by another family and started to find comfort again. But when his vision began 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 heartbreak yet again. We soon discovered that Shadow has a thyroid condition. With medication, a healthy diet, and proper care, he’s already improving and showing glimpses of the happy, playful pup he truly is. His vision loss may even be connected to this condition, and he’s undergoing further evaluation to give him the best chance possible. Through it all—every setback, every loss—Shadow has remained the same at his core: a love bug who just wants to be close to his people. He deserves a calm, patient home where he can continue healing, feel safe, and finally be cherished for the incredible companion he is. Shadow has been failed too many times, but we believe his forever family is out there. Please, help us find them. Share his story. Open your heart. Let’s give this brave boy the soft landing he has always deserved.   ##2177020##

Story
Kris came to FLUFF in early December from the Florida/Georgia line after spending her life as a stray. She and several other dogs were cared for by a kind Good Samaritan who made sure they had food, water, and what shelter he could provide. When he sadly passed away, a group of compassionate people stepped in to ensure these pups were safe and ultimately placed with rescues where they could have a chance at forever homes. Until coming to FLUFF, Kris had likely never been handled, and the comforts of a domesticated life are still new and sometimes scary for her. With time and patience in her foster home, she has begun to blossom. She absolutely adores her furry siblings, has discovered that soft couches and cozy beds are actually pretty wonderful, and is learning that sitting quietly near her humans can be a nice thing, too. Kris is still unsure about leashes and too much petting or affection, and that’s okay—she’s learning at her own pace. She will need a calm, patient home with another confident, friendly dog to help guide her and show her the ropes. Her ideal human understands that trust takes time and is happy to let Kris simply be part of the family from a distance at first, with no pressure or expectations. Kris may never be a fully “typical” dog—and that’s perfectly okay. What she offers is something just as special: a gentle soul who deserves safety, kindness, and the chance to live life on her own terms, surrounded by love. https://www.fluffanimalrescue.org/adoption-application My adoption fee includes my sterilization, microchip and registration, all core vaccines to date, dewormer and 1st month's Flea and Heartworm Preventatives. Thanks for considering adoption! *Information deemed reliable, but not guarenteed* ##2590256##

Story
This beautiful German Shorthaired Pointer was purchased from an AKC breeder in Mississippi in April 2022 and will be 4 years old in February 2026. She is a stunning example of her breed—smart, athletic, and very loving. She is friendly with people, affectionate, and highly intelligent. She is fully potty trained, crate trained, and knows verbal commands. She is a high-energy dog and thrives with lots of exercise and space. A home with land and/or other dogs to play with is strongly recommended, as she loves to run and burn off energy. With the right environment, she is an amazing, loyal companion. Best suited for an active owner familiar with high-energy breeds.

These pups are in Tampa, Florida too!

Story
Victoria is a beautiful one-year-old Dalmatian with a gentle soul and a heart full of untapped love. She’s searching for a forever home that understands that trust takes time and that patience can change everything. Victoria is a shy, fearful girl who needs a calm, kind environment to truly shine. Soft voices, slow movements, and consistent love help her feel safe, and once she does, her walls begin to come down. When she trusts you, her bond is incredibly special. You can see her curiosity peek through, her tail start to wag a little more, and her personality slowly bloom. She would do best in a quieter home with a securely fenced yard where she can feel protected and learn to enjoy the world at her own pace. Victoria can be an only dog or live with another calm, friendly pup, as long as introductions are slow and respectful. This sweet girl has so much potential and so much love to give. She just needs someone willing to meet her where she is and walk beside her as she continues to blossom. If you’re the kind of person who believes in second chances, gentle growth, and the magic of earning a dog’s trust, Victoria might be your perfect match. ##2546418##
