Story
He is 9 months old. Very well behaved dog. He’s been in our home for about a month but we have to move and cannot take him with us. I did take him to the vet and he was healthy but he probably needs his vaccines. The reason I say probably is because the only paperwork we have is from him American Kennel Club and from him being dewormed but we never got any shot records. He’s sweet as can be and loves to cuddle. He just needs a new loving home.

She’s good with other dogs, cats and kids. She will be spayed, vaccinated UTD and microchipped prior to adoption. She is still a pup so will need continued training and housebreaking. Let’s get her #adopted ! 🔗Apply online at https://www.southernstatesbullyrescue.org/blank 📍Tampa FL 📝 NOTE: we do NOT hold puppies. Be prepared to adopt within 48 hrs of approval

PLEASE READ THE ANIMAL’S PROFILE AND ALL NOTES BELOW BEFORE APPLYING! Hi, I’m Mystery 🤎🐾 I’m a 1-year-old Rat Terrier with a gentle heart and the sweetest little soul. I can be shy when we first meet, but give me a day or two and I’ll be right by your side like we’ve been best friends forever. Once I feel safe, I’m all about cuddles, kisses, and spending as much time with my person as possible 🤎 I’m calm, quiet, and very loving, but I still have a playful side too. I love going on walks, playing around, curling up for cuddles, and giving lots of kisses. I’m crate trained, potty trained, and leash trained, so I already have great manners and know how to settle in nicely. I’m still learning my basic commands, but I’m a smart girl and eager to keep learning. What I really need most is a little extra socialization and a patient person who will help me build confidence at my own pace. Once I warm up, I’m incredibly loyal and just want to be close to the people I love 🐶 My ideal home would be calm, loving, and patient—somewhere I can feel safe and continue to come out of my shell. I’d do great with a small family, older kids, and I’d especially love a dog sibling to help me feel even more comfortable. I’d be happy in an apartment, townhome, or house, but a fenced yard to run and play in would be a dream. If you’re looking for a quiet, loyal little best friend who will shower you with love and kisses, I just might be your perfect girl 🤎🐾 Adoption FEE: $250 which includes her spay, microchip, and vaccines.

I wasn't always a shelter dog. I once lived in a world of magic, where I was a brave guardian of a hidden treasure. My shyness was my strength, keeping me invisible to those unworthy. But one day, a playful, mischievous fairy tricked me into a portal that led me here.  I had an eye injury along the way but made a complete recovery.   I've adapted, using my independence to cope. I'm loyal, and, once comfortable, ready to protect and love whoever adopts me.   I pick and choose my doggy friends but love to play with cats.   I may not guard treasures anymore, but I promise to guard your heart with all my might.
