Story
Trip is a very loving and playful dog. He was mostly raised on a farm home with another dog & lots of space to roam and run, unfortunately we have moved into an apartment the past year or so and I think it’s affecting him. He been slightly snappy. Has been aggressive towards other dogs and barks and people, doesn’t get along with other dogs when there are toys or food around. Not sure why but it’s becoming more and more of a habit. He protects the house for sure don’t get me wrong but because I live in an apartment it’s becoming a little too much. It hurts to have to give him up but I think it’s best for both of us. I would love for him to go into a loving home, he’s very much an adventures dog, I would have him roam acres and I can just call him and he appears.. he’s very good at that. He loves to run and protect. If anyone feels like they can handle it please reach out.

Story
*****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

Golden Retriever Poodle (Standard)

Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Story
🎀 Quinn 🎀 This sweet red Goldendoodle was surrendered to us by a breeder after spending the first half of her life in an outdoor kennel. At first, she was absolutely terrified—she had no idea how to walk on a leash and had likely never lived in a home before. Since then, she has blossomed into a happy, affectionate girl with a whole lot of personality 💕 Have you ever had a dog who smiles? 😄 If you say “Quinnniiieeee!!!” really obnoxiously, she will wiggle and smile at you with her teeth 😂 It’s very affectionate and she does it when she’s excited to see her foster mom or when she doesn’t want to come inside, lol. At home, Quinn is playful, loving, calm, and very well behaved. She LOVES chasing the other dogs in the yard and is happiest when she’s with her pack. You’ll usually find her sleeping glued to another dog, but if you get up in the middle of the night, you’ll hear her tail beating as she hopes you’ll come love on her 🩷 She may even greet you at your side of the bed with a kiss. Once Quinn bonds with you, she bonds deeply—she will follow her person from room to room and just wants to be near the human she trusts. She absolutely adores her foster mama. While Quinn is wonderful at home, she is still very scared out in the world. She is extremely shy at first and slow to trust new people and new environments. She is submissive, gentle, and wouldn’t hurt a fly—but new situations can be overwhelming for her. In public, Quinn can be “flighty,” so she wears an escape-proof harness as she will try to back out if frightened. Because Quinn is very settled into her foster home, she will need a very patient, understanding adopter who is willing to meet with her a few times prior to adoption to help build trust and allow her to adjust at her own pace. She’s not a dog who can just be adopted on the first visit. Quinn also has a manageable medical need. She eats Royal Canin Low Fat Gastrointestinal food, takes generic Pepcid twice daily, and receives daily probiotics (purina fortiflora). She experiences acid reflux related to some tracheal irritation that occurred during intubation for her spay surgery. She has been fully evaluated at the UF Small Animal Hospital in Gainesville, and no further treatment is needed—her condition is well managed with her current routine. MUST HAVES: Quinn must have another dog that will play with her, a fenced yard, and a calm, adult-only home (no kids). She would love to join a pack, but one compatible canine best friend could be just fine if she clicks. She is a very sensitive girl and will absolutely let us know where she feels safe and happy 🙂 *This is a very transparent bio, but we don't mean for it to sound scary. She's an awesome, playful, easy dog to care for at home. Quinn is about 50 lbs and 5.5 years old. She’s spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and heartworm negative. She is located in Odessa (Tampa area), and her adoption fee is $300. ➡️ www.love4pawsfl.org/adopt

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Hi, I’m Poochie. I’m almost 2 years old, fluffy, sweet, and full of love—and I’ve been waiting for my forever home for almost a year now. Some people see that I’m blind and keep scrolling. But what they don’t see is how quickly I learn my surroundings, how confidently I walk beside my people, or how happy I am just being close to the ones I love. I don’t need eyes to find my way into your heart—I just need a chance. I love going for walks, soaking up outdoor adventures, and cuddling after a long day. My foster family even took me camping, and I did great! I may not see the world, but I experience it with my whole heart. I do best as the only dog so I can feel safe and secure, and I’m wonderful with older kids who understand how I move through life.  It would be nice for me to have a fenced yard so I could run like the wind, but I could also settle for lots of walks with my family. I think I am pretty smart, I know "sit" and "shake". I love car rides and I sleep through the night.  I am the perfect medium size, the humans tell me I weigh 50lbs. I’m crate trained, spayed, up to date on my vaccines, and I occasionally need eye drops—nothing scary, I promise. What I really need is someone patient, kind, and ready to love a dog who will give them everything she has in return. I’ve waited so long. I’m still here. And I’m still hoping that someone out there will finally choose me. Love, PoochieVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.January 20, 2026, 7:23 pm
