Story
Meet Bandit, a very special boy looking for the right home.Five years ago, we rescued two brothers and kept them together because we couldn’t bear to separate them. Now, with heavy hearts, we’re looking for the right home for one of them because he struggles in a multi-dog household.He is incredibly sweet with people—gentle, loving, shy at first, and happiest close to his humans.He was born blind in one eye and has a crooked front leg, but these have never stopped him. Last year, after a bad jump, he suffered a spinal disc injury. With veterinary care and determination, he has made remarkable progress and can now walk independently, though one back leg still lags slightly.He needs a home without other dogs. He deserves someone who sees beyond his imperfections and gives this loving boy the chance he deserves. We are committed to finding the right home — not just any home.If you think you may be that person, please reach out.

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Online Adoption Application Meet Molly! At 16 years young, Molly has perfected the art of being the ideal companion. This sweet senior girl is looking for a cozy place to spend her golden years surrounded by love, soft beds, and her favorite people. She is a Maltese and weighs 13 lbs. Molly is low-energy and enjoys the simple things in life. She's not interested in running marathons, swimming laps, or chasing squirrels, she would rather leave that to the young pups. Instead, she'd much rather relax by your side, soak up affection, and enjoy a leisurely stroll when the mood strikes. Don't let her age fool you, though—she can still keep up when it's time for a little adventure.Molly loves people and gets along wonderfully with other dogs. Her gentle, easygoing nature makes her a joy to be around, and she has a special way of making everyone she meets fall in love with her. If you're looking for a loyal companion who will happily share quiet moments, warm cuddles, and unconditional love, Molly may be the perfect match for you. Give this sweet senior the loving retirement she deserves.Apply to adopt at: AnimalAdvocatesFL.org  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.June 15, 2026, 6:17 pm
