Story
Moose is a 9-year-old GSP with a big personality and an even bigger heart. He absolutely loves people and is wonderful with kids—we have three young children and he’s always been gentle and trustworthy.He still has some energy for his age and loves to play ball and go on adventures then settle in for cuddles. Moose would do best as the only dog in the home, or with an experienced owner willing to manage introductions.We’re looking for a loving home where he can get attention, play in a big yard, and enjoy his golden years. This is a very hard decision for us, but we want the best life for Moose. We have a young growing family and travel a lot and aren't able to show him the love and attention he deserves anymore. We love Moose dearly and truly believe he will make someone incredibly happy for his remaining years.

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
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.

Story
Hi, my name is Kringle, and I came from a rough start, living outdoors on a property without ever knowing human touch. Everything changed for me in November when I arrived at FLUFF Animal Rescue. I was very scared and unsure, and while I allowed care for my basic needs. With time, patience, and kindness, I’ve started to come out of my shell. I now take treats from people, enjoy having calm, gentle company, and am beginning to accept slow, soft pets from those I trust. I also really enjoy spending time outside and playing. I’m still learning the basics—like leash walking and what it means to just be a dog—but I’m making steady progress. My ideal home is with someone who understands that I’m a work in progress. I’m not a cuddly dog right away, but I have so much potential. I need a patient, committed person who will give me the time, space, and guidance to continue building trust. A home that will support my journey with crate training, leash training, and confidence-building will help me continue to grow. I may take time, but I promise I’m worth it. Every step forward I take is something truly special, and I’m looking for someone who will celebrate those moments with me as I learn what it means to feel safe and loved. 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.

Story
I took this dog in for a friend who removed her from a situation where she lived outside with 20 other dogs. I got her in july of 2025. She has shown some unpredictable behavior with my son and her time is up with us. She is crate and house trained. She is good with dogs but she likes to play rough and climb all over them. I do not want any money but she should go to an owner experienced with working dog breeds or gsp specifically. She is good with my cat but does like to poke at him. She is a very sweet dog. She was scared of everything and had never been inside or on a leash or anything so she has come a long way, she just needs more work with someone who can handle/work with her and without small children. She is not spayed. She was born 11/2024. She is heartworm negative and on milbeguard prevention now. I just treated her for hookworms with meds from the vet. No microchip. She would come with her leash, collar, harness, muzzle, bowls, and her crate. vaccines up to date

Story
She was being neglected and abused by a friends father. She wouldnt even come up to me. Soon after we took her in we realized she was just scared and was very energetic and happy puppy . She is 1 year or under, shes not much of a barker. In a new home all I hope is people who are dedicated and responsible, and people who are able to love and play with her the way she deserves. She is playful, protective, obedient, sweet, elegant at times.

Story
Noah is a 2 1/2 year-old pitbull German shorthair pointer mix. He loves being outside sunbathing chasing lizards and loving his people. Noah can be destructive in the home and is very reactive with other dogs and recently just attacked another dog. He has lived his whole life with another boy dog in the home and he does well with him, but any stranger dogs he does not do well with he needs a lot of land, lots of love, and for somebody to be with him majority of the time. Noah loves engaging with people and is a big cuddle bug. Unfortunately, we do not have a lot of land to give Noah what he needs and he’s becoming too reactive for us to keep him. Noah can be reactive with food and resource guards. Noah will get excited about the same food that you give him every day twice a day and he will jump up and down for it Noah is very food motivated and we just about anything you give him when I’m chopping up lettuce he’ll even eat that. He enjoys ice cubes as well.
