Story
Meet Lexi - Speed, Smarts & a Whole Lot of Heart! If you blink, you might miss her… because Lexi is quite possibly the fastest dog at the sanctuary This beautiful black-and-white girl is a stunning mix of brains and athleticism. We suspect a blend of terrier and herding breeds (we think Rat Terrier / Border Collie vibes, maybe even a touch of Staffordshire), which makes her incredibly sharp, alert, and full of personality. Lexi is a true hunter at heart, curious about everything, always tuned in, always thinking. She would absolutely thrive with an active person or family who enjoys walks, playtime, and giving her little “jobs” to do. What makes Lexi special: • Lightning fast and super athletic • Very intelligent and quick to learn • Loyal and deeply connected once she bonds • Playful, curious, and full of life • Around 50 lbs of pure energy and love She’s the kind of dog who will keep you moving, keep you smiling, and keep you on your toes in the best possible way. And when the day winds down? That same energetic girl turns into a companion who just wants to be near her person. Ideal home: Lexi would do best with someone who understands active, intelligent dogs - someone who will give her structure, exercise, and engagement. She can be a couch potato also, she loves to snuggle with you and watch a movie. If you’re looking for a dog with personality, brains, and a spark that makes every day a little more exciting - Lexi might be your girl.

Story
Branley may be a senior, but don’t tell him that—he’s too busy enjoying life his way. At 12 years young, this charming Rat Terrier has perfected the art of the good life. His favorite place? A cozy dog bed where he can curl up just right… preferably in a patch of warm sunshine. Give him a sunny spot, and you’ll see pure, contented bliss. Branley is also a wonderful walking companion. He loves getting out to explore, taking in the world at his own easygoing pace. Whether it’s a stroll around the neighborhood or a quiet moment outside, he’s happiest by your side. His hearing might not be what it once was, but a gentle, louder call is all it takes to get his attention—and when he looks your way, it’s with those sweet, knowing eyes that only a senior dog can have. And for his age? His bladder control is impressive, making him an easy addition to a calm, loving home. Branley is the kind of dog who doesn’t ask for much—just a soft place to rest, a bit of sunshine, and a person to share his days with. In return, he’ll give you quiet companionship, loyalty, and the kind of love that only comes with time. If you’re looking for a gentle soul to keep you company and remind you to slow down and savor the little things, Branley is ready to be your perfect match. PLEASE NOTE: All your current pets must be spayed/neutered, vaccinated and on heartworm prevention to adopt from Polka Dogz. We only adopt in Florida. All adoption fees go to help all the dogs in the rescue, some of which require extensive medical care. Thank you for caring for the greater good. Adoption fee is $250 and you can adopt me at www.polkadogz.org.  ##2715473##

Story
PLEASE READ THE ANIMAL’S PROFILE AND ALL NOTES BELOW BEFORE APPLYING! Hi, I’m Grimsby 🐾🧡 I’m a 1.5-year-old Black Mouth Cur mix with a gentle soul, a curious heart, and so much love to give 🧡 I’m a quiet, humble boy who’s still learning just how beautiful life can be. Every day is a new adventure for me—the sights, the sounds, and all the smells. I love car rides where I can sit and watch the world go by, and nothing makes me happier than a soft breeze and a cozy place to rest When I’m not exploring, you’ll usually find me snuggled up on a blanket I’ve carefully bunched up just right. I love gentle pets, quiet moments, and hearing that I’m a good boy. Once I bond with you, I’ll proudly stay right by your side as your loyal companion 🧡 I’m smart, eager to learn, and making great progress every day. I’m potty trained, crate trained, and leash trained, but I’m still building confidence—especially around loud noises and when I see other dogs on walks. I just need a patient person to guide me and help me keep growing I do best when I have structure, consistency, and daily exercise. Long morning and evening walks are my favorite way to burn off energy and feel my best My ideal home: 🧡 Active home committed to daily walks 🧡 A calm, patient adopter (retired or home often is a big plus) 🧡 A fenced yard for safe exploring 🧡 Older kids (10+) 🧡 No cats 💌 A word from my foster: “He’s an intelligent, gentle, quiet soul who just wants to be loved and guided. Once he trusts you, he will stay by your side and be the most loyal companion.” If you’re looking for a thoughtful, loyal, and loving best friend who will grow with you and stand by your side through everything… I might be your perfect match 🐾🧡 Grimbsy’s Adoption Fee Sponsored!

Twix

Rat Terrier

Female, Puppy
Lakeland, FL

Story
Vaccines recently updated with accompanying paperwork. Twix is an energetic puppy. At 43 pounds she's got a happy disposition and is handled very easily. Enjoys being very much in her people's space and loves kid's. She is in need of training but is a fast learner she does sit for her food and will try to give her paw for it as soon as she sees her bowl. A sweet dog that loves cats but the family cat does not like her as she does not get the idea of personal boundaries just yet. Her rehome fee would just be the fee to re-register her microchip. All of her belongings would accompany her including her crate, dog bed, and toys as well as her shot records. The reason for her rehome is simply due to the job. She usually attends work with me and is friendly to all but my schedule makes it very difficult to get her properly trained. Twix is loved and deserves a loving home where she is the priority.

Story
Luna is a beautiful 5-year-old Lab/Whippet mix weighing around 35–40 pounds who is ready to find the forever family she’s always deserved! While Luna can be a little shy when meeting new people, all she needs is a little patience. Once she feels safe and comfortable, her playful, loving personality shines through. She enjoys playing, spending time with her people, and will quickly become a loyal companion. Luna is kid-friendly and does best with dogs that are similar in size to her. She prefers medium to larger canine friends over very small dogs, making her a great fit for many active families. If you’re looking for a sweet, gentle dog who will reward your kindness with endless love and companionship, Luna may be your perfect match. With a little time to adjust, she’ll show you just how special she is. Luna is ready to leave her old life behind and start the next chapter of her life with a family to call her own. Could that be you?   ##2267870##

Stormy is having a hard time fitting in to his new surroundings. We know nothing of his past. He is a senior weighing about 16 lbs. He was found as a stray in north Florida and picked up by animal control. He arrived at our rescue with severe hair loss and extremely thin. He had a horrible ear infection which was treated by our vet. Stormy loves being cuddled. He'll slowly wag his tail whenever his foster mom approaches to pick him up. Otherwise, he can be found napping on his dog bed. Stormy has been neutered and vaccinated. His adoption fee is $50 Applications to adopt are at kathisk9s.org Meet greets are scheduled only for approved applicants
