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
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
**Meet Smoky! 🐾💙** Sometimes the smallest beginnings lead to the sweetest stories. At only **4 weeks old**, little Smoky was found abandoned on the side of the road. 💔 He should have been safe in a loving home, learning how to be a puppy — not left to fend for himself. Thankfully, Smoky was given a second chance, and now this adorable **2.5-month-old Rat Terrier mix** is growing into a happy, playful little boy. 🥹❤️ Smoky is **crate trained** and working hard on his potty training. He is still a young puppy, so he will need a family who understands that there will be plenty of puppy adventures, learning, and growing along the way. But in return, you’ll have a loyal little companion who will fill your home with love, laughter, and puppy kisses. 🐶💋 We can’t change the way Smoky’s life began, but we can make sure the rest of his story is completely different. He deserves a family who will choose him every single day and give him the safe, happy life he should have had from the very beginning. 🏡❤️ Smoky is fostered in **Brooksville, FL**. If you are ready to open your heart and home to this precious boy, please call **954-628-2175** for more information. **Smoky is waiting for his happily ever after. Could you be the one to give it to him?** 🐾❤️

Story
**Meet Sequoia ❤️🐾** At just **4 weeks old**, little Sequoia was found on the side of the road with her mama and her tiny siblings. 💔 She was far too young to understand what was happening, and no puppy should ever have to begin life abandoned and wondering if anyone will come for them. Thankfully, Sequoia’s story didn’t end there. ❤️ She was rescued, given a safe place to grow, and surrounded by love. And just look at this beautiful little girl now! 🥹 Sequoia is a **2.5-month-old Rat Terrier mix** with a sweet little soul and a whole lot of puppy love to give. She is **crate trained** and working hard on her potty training. Like any young puppy, she’ll need a family who understands that she is still learning and who will patiently guide her as she grows. She has already come so far in such a short time. Now she needs the one thing every puppy deserves — **a family to call her own, a safe place to sleep, and people who will love her for the rest of her life.** 🏡❤️ Sequoia is fostered in **Brooksville, FL**. If you think this precious girl might be the missing piece of your family, please call **954-628-2175** for more information. Let’s make sure Sequoia’s next chapter is the one she was always meant to have — **a life filled with love, security, and happily ever after.** ❤️🐶

**Meet this handsome little boy! 🐾❤️** At just **4 weeks old**, this tiny puppy was found abandoned on the side of the road. 💔 He was far too young to be out in the world, but thankfully, he was rescued and given the chance to grow up surrounded by love and care. Today, he is a happy, beautiful **2.5-month-old Rat Terrier mix puppy** who is ready to start looking for the family he has always deserved. 🥹❤️ He is **crate trained** and working hard on his potty training. He is still a baby, so his forever family will need to give him patience, guidance, and plenty of love as he continues to learn and grow. His life may have started with abandonment, but that doesn't have to define his story. Now it's time for him to know what it feels like to be someone's beloved puppy — safe, cherished, and loved forever. 🏡🐾❤️ He is fostered in **Brooksville, FL**. If you are interested in adopting this sweet boy, please call **954-628-2175** for more information. **All he needs now is a family who will promise him forever. ❤️

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!
