*****PLEASE READ ENTIRELY BEFORE APPLYING***** Our very special, Millie 🩷 This sweet English Cream Golden Retriever is looking for a special, experienced home. She is NOT a "normal golden retriever" that you can take everywhere with you. Please read. Last fall, Millie was dumped in the woods, most likely by a breeder and very unsocialized. For 2+ months, experienced dog trappers tried to catch Millie and she just evaded everything. She survived both hurricanes alone in the woods and without any shelter 💔 Thankfully, she eventually got stuck in someone’s yard and was able to be captured in November - it was a miracle! This poor girl was full of fleas, ticks and heartworm positive. She has now been in a foster home since, was spayed and completed heartworm treatment! ❤️‍🩹 Millie LOVES dogs and can’t spend one minute without them. You can always find her glued to another dog or blending into a pack hoping that she’s invisible to humans. There isn’t one single dog that Millie wouldn’t like and she would actually love doggy daycare. She is very playful with other dogs and is truly a wonderful girl who is house trained, crate trained, very food motivated, very submissive and would never do a thing wrong. However, she wants nothing to do with humans. She doesn't want to be near you, is fearful when you approach or corner her and the slightest noise can send her into a complete panic. So, we are looking for a savvy home. Someone very experienced and someone who "gets it" and will follow our instructions to a T with keeping her safe. If she escapes, she will likely never be caught. Basic criteria: ✔️ She ideally needs a home with 2+ large dogs. She's most comfortable in a pack and we don't feel that one dog will be enough for her. However, if you are a very secure, helicopter dog parent with just 1 dog, please reach out. She needs a playful bestie though. ✔️ She would likely be cat friendly ✔️ Must have a securely 6ft fenced yard. She can jump a shorter fence. ✔️ No children or frequently visiting kids Most important criteria: ✔️ Someone who NEVER lets their dog off leash, never uses retractable leashes and whose dog never slips out the front door. We need a paranoid helicopter parent who doesn't think it's safe to let their dog run out the front door off leash or be off leash anywhere at all. She is not for a first time dog owner. She needs to stay as close to Tampa as possible, but no more than an hour away. If you feel that you could be a potential forever home for her, please complete an application and email us with a little more about you at info@love4pawsfl.org. Millie is in Odessa (Tampa) and her adoption fee is $400. She is about 60lbs, 2 years old, spayed, vaccinated, microchipped and heartworm negative. ➡️ Application: www.love4pawsfl.org/adopt

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Rocky, a stunning 3-year-old Golden Retriever with a big personality and even bigger potential! Weighing 75 pounds, Rocky is a high-energy boy looking for an active, dog-savvy family to help him grow into the amazing companion we know he can be. He thrives on attention and activity, so a securely fenced yard and plenty of time for play and exercise are an absolute must. Rocky is currently in a boarding facility, where he’s been working with a trainer. His trainer says he seems to be pretty easygoing with different kinds of people, but he does need an assertive, experienced handler for walks, as he is extremely strong and could pull someone off their feet if not managed properly. Rocky is still learning his manners so he’ll need consistent training and patient guidance to understand boundaries and expectations. He’s shown friendly interest in the daycare dogs he sees through the fence, particularly those who are not intact, but he has not yet been tested with other dogs or cats, so any introductions should be done slowly and carefully. We are not recommending a home with children at this time, as we have no history of him living with kids and he could accidentally knock them over. Rocky is also heartworm positive and cannot be neutered until he completes treatment, making a foster or foster-to-adopt home the ideal environment for him right now. With structure, consistent training, and lots of love, Rocky is ready to become the well-mannered, loyal, and fun Golden we know he can be. If you’re ready to help this energetic boy thrive, apply today!Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.October 31, 2025, 12:06 am

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Poochie – Our Brave, Fluffy Ray of Sunshine &#226&#152&#128&#239&#184&#143 Poochie is a sweet-as-sugar Goldendoodle with a heart full of love and a spirit that lights up the room—even though she can’t see it. This beautiful girl is blind, but don’t let that fool you—she navigates life with grace, confidence, and a tail that never stops wagging. At around 1 ½ years old and weighing 48lbs, Poochie has already captured the hearts of everyone at the rescue with her gentle soul and courageous heart. She loves cuddles, soft voices, and belly rubs, and she quickly bonds with kind humans who give her time and patience. She might bump into a few things at first, but give her a consistent layout and a little love, and she’ll map your heart (and your home) in no time. One of Poochie’s absolute favorite things in the world? Running in the yard! She comes alive with joy when she can safely zoom around and stretch her legs. Because of this, a securely fenced yard is a must—not only for her safety, but to give her the freedom she loves and deserves. Poochie is great with calm, friendly dogs and cats, making her a wonderful addition to a multi-pet household. Her pet companions should be patient with her occasional accidental bumps and understand that she can’t see visual dog cues. She would thrive in a peaceful, understanding home with people who embrace her special needs and celebrate her playful, expressive personality. She is house-trained, crate trained, spayed, up to date on all vaccines, and ready to find a forever home where she can feel safe, loved, and cherished for the incredible pup she is. She does take daily eye drops for lubrication. &#226&#156&#168 Ready to meet your most loyal (and chatty) cuddle buddy? Poochie is waiting—eyes closed, heart open.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.September 25, 2025, 9:52 pm
