Story
She was being neglected and abused by a friends father. She wouldnt even come up to me. Soon after we took her in we realized she was just scared and was very energetic and happy puppy . She is 1 year or under, shes not much of a barker. In a new home all I hope is people who are dedicated and responsible, and people who are able to love and play with her the way she deserves. She is playful, protective, obedient, sweet, elegant at times.

Story
Noah is a 2 1/2 year-old pitbull German shorthair pointer mix. He loves being outside sunbathing chasing lizards and loving his people. Noah can be destructive in the home and is very reactive with other dogs and recently just attacked another dog. He has lived his whole life with another boy dog in the home and he does well with him, but any stranger dogs he does not do well with he needs a lot of land, lots of love, and for somebody to be with him majority of the time. Noah loves engaging with people and is a big cuddle bug. Unfortunately, we do not have a lot of land to give Noah what he needs and he’s becoming too reactive for us to keep him. Noah can be reactive with food and resource guards. Noah will get excited about the same food that you give him every day twice a day and he will jump up and down for it Noah is very food motivated and we just about anything you give him when I’m chopping up lettuce he’ll even eat that. He enjoys ice cubes as well.

Story
We’re helping rehome my dad’s dog after he was recently moved into a nursing home and can no longer care for her. Unfortunately, we live in a rental, and my brother travels frequently for work, so we’re unable to give her the stable home she deserves. We believe she’s around 6–8 years old (~55-50 lbs, mix breed), though we’re not exactly sure since my dad adopted her. She is up to date on her vaccinations, incredibly obedient, leash-trained, and listens exceptionally well. She’s been wonderful with our 4-year-old daughter and enjoys playing with other dogs once she’s comfortable with them. She loves being with her people and is happiest when she has consistency and companionship. She was very bonded to my dad, so this transition has been especially hard on her. After being moved around quite a bit over the last few months, we’d love to find her a person or family who can give her a stable, loving home.

Story
Pegasus is an around two-year-old dog with a sweet, curious personality and striking blue eyes. He gets along well with other dogs and kids, and may also do fine with cats. He would enjoy an active home that matches his playful energy and includes him in daily life. He adapts easily to new environments and is generally happy and easygoing. Pegasus likes backyard playtime, neighborhood walks, and even tagging along to places like coffee shops or breweries. After a day of activity, he settles in nicely for cuddles and relaxation. He is smart, social, and affectionate—a good balance of fun-loving and companionable. Pegasus would do well with a family that stays active and wants a dog to join in on outings, whether that means playing fetch, exploring, or winding down together at the end of the day. For someone looking for a friendly, engaging dog who brings a lot of life and warmth, Pegasus has plenty to offer. He is ready for a home where he can be part of the adventures and the quiet moments alike. ##2076977##

Story
PLEASE READ THE ANIMAL’S PROFILE AND ALL NOTES BELOW BEFORE APPLYING! Hi, I’m Betsy 🐾💗 I’m a 7-year-old Chihuahua, and I’m learning what it means to feel safe and loved. I came from a home with lots of other dogs, so the world can feel a little big and scary sometimes. I might be shy when we first meet… but if you give me a little time, I promise I’ll show you my true self 🥺 Once I trust you, I turn into the sweetest, cuddliest little companion. I love being close to my person—snuggling up next to you, following you around, and just enjoying the comfort of being loved. I don’t ask for much… just a safe place and someone kind to call my own 💕 I’m still working on a few things like my potty routine and feeling confident when I’m alone, but I’m already making progress! With patience, consistency, and gentle reassurance, I know I’ll keep getting better every day. My perfect home would be calm and loving, with a small family or a quiet household where I can feel secure. I’d do great with another small, gentle dog friend and older kids who understand how to be patient and kind with me. I may be a little shy at first, but I have so much love to give. If you’re looking for a gentle, loyal cuddle buddy, I could be your perfect little shadow 🐾💗 Adoption FEE: $450, which includes her spay or his neuter, microchip, and vaccines.

Story
Meet Luna Luna came to us from someone who didn’t know what else to do. They worked with Luna for several months but found that they could not keep him due to the other dog in their home. Luna is in need of a loving family as the only pet. She has been so sweet with us, loving to cuddle on the couch and play fetch. Luna is currently recovering from Heart worms. We are told that she is aggressive towards other dogs and needs a home as the only pet. But she has been great meeting new people! Unfortunately, our home has other dogs and we cannot keep her. She is around 7 years old.

Story
We are looking to rehome our dog to a loving, experienced home. He is a loyal, affectionate, and intelligent dog who has been a wonderful companion. However, over time he has begun showing aggression toward small children. Since we recently welcomed our first baby, we've made the difficult decision that rehoming him is the safest and most responsible choice. We have explored different options and hoped to improve the situation, but we believe he would do best in a home without young children. We are committed to finding him the right family and are not looking to rush the process. Serious inquiries only—we want to ensure he goes to a safe, loving home where he can thrive.

These pups are in Tampa, Florida too!

Story
Shadow is a sweet, resilient five year old boy who has endured more than any dog should. He was rescued from the streets of Puerto Rico and brought to Tampa Bay, where he finally experienced the comfort of a loving home. But after a crosscountry move triggered severe anxiety, he was surrendered, leaving his heart broken once again. For a moment, things seemed to turn around. Shadow was adopted by another family and began to settle in. But when his vision started to fade, his family chose not to seek answers and returned him to us. He came back overweight, with swollen ankles, and carrying the weight of yet another loss. We soon learned that Shadow has a thyroid condition. With medication, a healthy diet, and proper care, he is already improving and showing glimpses of the happy, playful pup he truly is. His vision changes may even be connected to this condition, and he is undergoing further evaluation to give him the best chance possible. Through every setback, Shadow has remained the same at his core: a loving, affectionate dog who simply wants to be close to his people. He deserves a calm, patient home where he can continue healing and finally be cherished for the incredible companion he is. Shadow has been let down too many times, but we believe his forever family is out there. Please help us find them. Share his story. Open your heart. This brave boy deserves the soft landing he has always needed.         ##2177020##
