Story
Rockwell – Small Dog, Big Personality Rockwell is a classic Jack Russell Terrier through and through—smart, spirited, and absolutely convinced he knows exactly how things should be done. This handsome little guy has plenty of charm, but he also comes with a bit of an attitude that will make true terrier lovers smile in recognition. Rockwell is not a “go with the flow” kind of dog. He likes structure, clear rules, and knowing where he stands. He can exhibit resource guarding behaviors, which means he needs an experienced, adult-only home that understands canine boundaries and is committed to providing consistency and leadership. With the right person, Rockwell will thrive in an environment where expectations are clear and routines are steady. Like many Jack Russells, Rockwell is intelligent and perceptive. He bonds strongly with his people and will do best with someone who appreciates his bold personality and is willing to continue working with him using positive reinforcement and firm, fair guidance. He isn’t looking to be the center of chaos—he’s looking to be the loyal sidekick to a confident human who understands that respect goes both ways. Rockwell may not be the right fit for every home, but for the right adopter—someone who values structure, enjoys a little sass, and understands terrier tenacity—he has the potential to be a deeply devoted companion. If you believe in giving dogs the leadership and guidance they need to succeed, Rockwell just might be waiting for you.

Story
Meet Lindor! 🧡 This sweet little guy has come such a long way. He was rescued with a group of dogs who were being kept in a metal shed and came to us pretty scared, not knowing what to think about people. But in just one month, he has blossomed more than we ever imagined! Lindor is only 12 lbs and is likely a terrier mix. He LOVES other dogs and has a blast playing with his friends. We originally required another dog in the home for him, but after spending time in one of our trusted foster homes, we think he’ll do just fine with or without a canine sibling. He adores his foster mom and is often found belly-up asking for scratches. When she picks him up and puts him back down, he jumps up asking to be held again ☺️ A fenced yard would still be a big bonus for him since he’s not the best on a leash just yet—but he’s learning and getting braver every day. ☀️ BONUS OFFER: Want to double the love? If you’re interested in adopting Lindor along with one of his girlfriends (Krackel or Cadbury 🍫), we’re offering a discounted adoption fee for a pair. Just a little idea 💡 Lindor is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and heartworm negative. He’s in Tampa, and his adoption fee is $300. Apply here: www.love4pawsfl.org/adopt

Story
This little 22 pound 8 yr old jack mix was found as a stray and brought into the shelter.. He has been with us a little over a month and is now doing as well as can be expected.. Rileys heart has been damaged by heartworm disease. He is not a candidate for fast kill treatment, and we are doing slow kill, which is just monthly heartworm prevention. He had a round of pneumonia, which has cleared and that is when we discovered that his heart is compromised. We are currently looking for a forever home for Riley, he is a hospice boy. He is on cardiac meds for his heart, and will be getting a cardiac echo in Feb to determine how damaged his heart is. This is a very sweet boy who asks for nothing . He does love pats on the head, he likes his belly rubbed. He loves to do short walks, lie in the sun. Good with other dogs, great appetite. He is housebroken and barks to go out, however he needs someone home that can let him out frequently as he is on lasix to keep his lungs clear. Riley is a wise old man, life has not been kind to him. He will give you all his love and he appreciates every minute he has left on the planet. If you are that special person that can be there for him and enjoy him please fill out an application. He is currently with 12 other dogs and even for him tho he tolerates it, you can tell he would love peace quiet and just a few less dogs. Currently fostered in Bradenton. He is a very special boy and we would love to see his time here made very special...

Story
Hi there! My name is Denzel, and I’m a little dog looking for a big love. See I have a heart on my back! Just a few months ago, I was a scared little 2 year old Jack Russell - Chi mix boy – hiding under a car in a shopping center parking lot. I was only 9 pounds of trembling fur, wondering where my world had gone and if anyone would ever find me. Luckily, the wonderful FCCR ladies scooped me up, and I landed in a pawmazing foster home. My tail started wagging again, my signature smile returned, and I discovered I am actually quite the little character! Turns out, being small doesn’t mean having a small personality – I’ve got energy for days and enough charm to win over anyone I meet. These days, I’m living my best life while I wait for my forever family. I’ve become quite the little gentleman. I walk beautifully on a leash, ready for adventures around the neighborhood or trips to the park. And oh, do I love car rides! There’s something magical about watching the world go by from the passenger seat. When I’m not out exploring, you’ll find me mastering the art of tug-of-war with my toy collection. I’m surprisingly strong for such a little guy – must be that Jack Russell determination! But my absolute favorite thing? Snuggling under the covers with my humans. There’s no better feeling than being wrapped up warm and safe, knowing I’m exactly where I belong. I’m proud to say I’m completely crate-trained. I’m also working hard on my housebreaking skills, and everyone says I’m learning incredibly fast. Smart and handsome? I know, I know – I’m quite the catch! The best part about me? I absolutely adore kids and get along wonderfully with other dogs. There’s something about little humans that just makes me light up, and having doggy siblings sounds like the perfect adventure. As for cats… I haven’t met any yet but hey, I’m a friendly guy so we might become friends. What I’m really looking for is a family who will appreciate all of me – my playful puppy energy, my impressive agility skills, my award-winning smile, and yes, even my work-in-progress house manners. I want people who understand that the best things come in small packages, and that sometimes the dogs who’ve had the roughest starts make the most grateful companions. Could that be you? Head over to the rescue’s website, www.floridacockerrescue.org, to submit an application and let’s find out! ADOPTION FEE: $300.00
