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. ✔️ 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 65-70lbs now, 2 years old, spayed, vaccinated, microchipped and heartworm negative. ➡️ Application: www.love4pawsfl.org/adopt

Story
Hi I'm Sherbert! I was part of an adorable group of 8 pups that were abandoned at the county shelter in great need of medical attention. We were taken in by Guardians of Florida Animal Rescue where I was adopted 2 years ago. Unfortunately, my owners could not take care of me anymore so I was returned to the rescue.I am now around 2 years 8 months old as of early December. I have a coat similiar to a retriever, but am a smaller size- weighing about 45lbs full grown. I am housetrained- we just need to communicate and establish a proper schedule. I have been non reactive with other dogs and don’t even mind the rescue cats, but please bring existing dogs to the meet and greet with you so we can meet before adopting.My adoption fee is $450 and includes vet check, deworming, up to date shots, microchip and neuter (all done). If you are interested in adopting me, please complete an application at www.gofar.dog under "Adopt" at your earliest convenience.If you have questions, email my rescue at adoptions@gofar.dog. If you'd like to experience all the love I have, and want to make me part of your family, please complete the adoption application by pasting this link into your browser: https://service.sheltermanager.com/asmservice?account=sm2546&method=online_form_html&formid=21

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
