Story
🐾❤️ MEET VIGGO — A GENTLE GIANT FIGHTING FOR HIS SECOND CHANCE ❤️🐾 Viggo is a beautiful Great Dane who recently joined the Maxx & Me family after arriving at Hillsborough County Pet Resource Center in heartbreaking condition. He was severely emaciated, anemic, suffering from infected ears, and tested high heartworm positive. At one point, Viggo became so critically ill that he needed a blood transfusion and came dangerously close to losing his life. His body tells the story of prolonged neglect. His lower front teeth are broken, reportedly from eating rocks, and his right ear bears scars from a previous hematoma caused by severe head shaking. Despite everything he has endured, Viggo is still here—and he is still fighting. Thankfully, we also received some encouraging news. His radiology report showed no signs of cancer in his lungs or injured toe. The changes seen in his lungs are believed to be connected to his heartworm disease, and the issue with his toe appears to be from an old injury. After so much uncertainty, we are incredibly grateful for this bit of good news. Viggo is now safe with his foster, Sharon, who stepped up without hesitation to get him out of the shelter and directly to North Bay Animal Hospital. Sharon is a longtime Maxx & Me adopter and has opened her heart and home once again to a dog in desperate need. We are so thankful for her. Viggo’s road to recovery will be long. He needs continued veterinary care, proper nutrition, treatment for his heartworms, and time to regain his strength. Most of all, he needs to learn that he will never again have to struggle simply to survive. We will share more about Viggo’s personality as he settles into his foster home, along with the freedom photos everyone is waiting to see. For now, he is resting, receiving care, and finally surrounded by people who believe his life is worth saving. Viggo needs our entire village. ❤️ Donations will help cover his emergency care, testing, heartworm treatment, medications, food, and ongoing recovery. 🏡 A committed foster or future adopter will eventually give this gentle giant the safe and loving life he has always deserved. 📣 Sharing Viggo’s story helps us reach the people who can make that future possible. Viggo has already survived more than any dog should. Now it is our turn to show him that his hardest days are behind him. Welcome to Maxx & Me, sweet Viggo. You are safe now. 🐾

Story
We adopted Aamco in January 2025 after he was thrown out of a moving vehicle on Dale Mabry. He has been a good and loving dog and has been great with my kids. We think he is 2 1/2 or 3 but we are not sure. He is a big dog and requires a lot of space and attention which unfortunately I can not provide for him. He is a very sweet dog and I want him to have what he needs.

Story
🐾 Meet Dana the Dane 💛 Hi there… I’m Dana, a proud momma of 14 Dane mix puppies (yes, 14!). I’ve spent my time raising my babies, and now that they’re finding their forever homes, it’s finally my turn to find one too. My past is a bit of a mystery, but the kind people at FLUFF have been showing me what love and kindness feel like—and I’m starting to believe in it more every day. I may be a little shy at first, but once I feel safe, I truly enjoy gentle pets and simply being near my people… especially if I can relax and just be. Right now, I've started walking on a leash and am taking it slow, curious about the cool world out there! 🏡 My ideal home: • A securely fenced yard (at least 6 feet tall—because, well… I’m tall!) • A family willing to continue my trust-building journey Adoption Process & Questionnaire: https://www.fluffanimalrescue.org/to-adopt 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 guaranteed*

Hi, I'm Custard! 🐾 I'm a strapping 6-year-old tan and white Great Dane mix who's neutered and ready to bring joy to your home. I know my basic commands, I'm food motivated, and I've got a friend here at the shelter (Sammy) who can vouch for what a loyal and affectionate guy I am! I'm a tennis ball enthusiast and a total wiggle butt when I'm excited — plus I'm possibly housetrained, which means we're off to a great start. My adoption fee is $150, so come meet me and let's see if we're a match made in heaven! 🎾💛

Hi, I'm Sammy, a 5-year-old tan and white Great Dane mix with a wiggle butt that never stops! 🐾 I'm a gentle giant at 63 pounds who absolutely loves to cuddle — yes, I think I'm a lap dog, and I'm spayed and ready to join your family.

Stanley is a 77lb, 2 year old, fun loving, big puppy. He came to us as an owner surrender in 2022. He is dog friendly and loves his foster siblings.

He has a great foundation and has gone through both basic training and basic training urban with Bayshore Dog Training. He knows sit, down, place, come, heel.

Story
PLEASE READ THE ANIMAL’S PROFILE AND ALL NOTES BELOW BEFORE APPLYING! Hi, I’m Jim! 🐾💛 I'm an Anatolian shepherd mix (fancy, I know!), and I'm the runt of my litter. I’m still learning about the world, and everything is new and exciting to me! I love to play, explore, and discover all the fun things around me—but I also really love cuddles and being close to my people 🥺💕 Sometimes I might be a little shy or unsure at first, but with patience, love, and a safe space, I start to feel more confident and let my personality shine. Once I trust you, I’ll be your loyal little shadow and best friend 🐾 I’m still learning all the basics like potty training, walking on a leash, and commands, so I’ll need a family who’s ready to teach me and help me grow. I’m smart and eager to please—I just need guidance and consistency! My perfect home would be one full of love, patience, and lots of playtime. A yard to run around in or a cozy space to relax works great for me, as long as I get to be part of the family 💕 If you’re ready for puppy kisses, playful zoomies, and a lifetime of love… I’m ready to meet you 🐾💛 Adoption FEE: $650 which includes his neuter, microchip, and vaccines.
