Story
Meet Oswald, a gentle giant with a heart as big as his frame. This lovable fellow is believed to be a fun blend of Rhodesian Ridgeback and Great Dane, though it is his Ridgeback side that shines through most prominently. His coat boasts a striking red sable coloring, a rich blend of reddish- brown with distinctive black-tipped fur and a stunning face mask. Although he is a larger dog, Oswald exudes a certain grace that is a joy to watch. His eyes, large and inquisitive, reflect the kindness and intelligence that radiates from within. Oswald's affectionate nature is undeniable; he's quick to offer love and companionship to anyone and everyone he meets. While Oswald's size and exuberance may require a bit of understanding, especially with smaller children, his amiable nature makes him a wonderful companion for families with prior experience handling larger breeds. This delightful pup enjoys the companionship of other dogs, once they have been properly introduced. He has had some struggles with dog reactivity, but is doing great with training, and will only continue to improve with a consistent, patient, and strong owner. He has not spent much time inside around cats, but is comfortable seeing and walking near them while on outside. When it comes to care, Oswald is fine with a quiet day inside, but also loves to get out, whether it’s the beach or a local walking trail. On walks, he's a model of composure, walking wonderfully on leash and very responsive to corrections. In essence, Oswald is an absolute sweetheart just looking for his forever people.

Story
Meet Dax, the happiest boy you'll ever meet! This goofy 10-month-old bundle of pure unconditional love is searching for his forever home. Dax is already 65 pounds and still growing, total Marmaduke vibes here! So, he will need an owner with experience handling large breed dogs and confident leadership. This sweet boy is housebroken, crate-trained, and gets along great with his foster dog friends. Dax is an energetic, young boy who thrives on structure, boundaries, and clear expectations. Dax's passions include going on long walks, playing with toys, engaging in epic tug-of-war battles with his foster sister, and going on car rides to Home Depot with his foster dad! Dax's ideal forever home would have an active lifestyle, be willing to continue training with him, and have a fenced yard for him to gallop around in. No toddlers for this silly big guy, due to his size and him still being all puppy! Older kids who understand boundaries would be preferred. Dax is ready to find his perfect home where he will be spoiled and get all the love and attention he deserves! Could you be Dax's perfect match?

Story
Meet Enzo — the big dog with big energy and even bigger “oops, my bad” vibes. This lovable goofball is a certified clutz. Enzo doesn’t run so much as he springs from left to right like a cartoon character who hasn’t quite figured out how his legs work yet. Watching him play is like watching a very enthusiastic toddler in a dog costume.He loves playing with other pups, but despite his size, Enzo prefers friends who are gentle, dainty, and won’t judge him when he accidentally trips over his own feet. He’s a sweet boy with a soft heart and a goofy spirit, just trying his best out there.If you’re looking for a dog who will make you laugh daily, keep you entertained, and charm you with his wiggly, sideways spring-run, Enzo is your guy.

Story
I'm Mocha and I’m full of energy! I’m about 10 months old (don’t know my real birthday) and the nice veterinarian at Companion Animal Hospital in Melrose, FL said I weighed 42 pounds at my last visit. She thinks I’m pretty much full grown and that I’m likely a mix of Rhodesian Ridgeback and Vizsla. She also said I’m a very good girl! I’m spayed, current on all my vaccinations, and monthly I get a dose of PetArmor Plus, to keep those pesky ticks and fleas away. I’ve been staying with my grandparents for several months because my adoptive parents aren’t able to take care of me. I play with lots of cats at my grandparents’ house (some are friendlier than others) and their Border Collie. I’m crate-trained, no accidents in the house, and I know quite a few commands. But my favorite thing is running. I run like the wind when I do zoomies! What I want more than anything is to be someone’s special dog. I want someone to run and play with me and go on hikes and give me lots of love!

Meet Molly – our little unicorn puppy! Molly is a 4-month-old Lab/Vizsla mix with the sweetest heart and the happiest spirit you’ll ever meet. She may be a tripod, but you would honestly never know it. This girl runs, plays, explores, and lives life just like any other puppy her age. The only difference? She’s extra special in the very best way. After an early injury, Molly had one of her legs amputated, but it hasn’t slowed her down for even a second. She gets around beautifully, keeps up with other dogs, and has that joyful puppy energy that makes you smile the second you meet her. No special care needed, just a loving home and someone who appreciates a truly one-of-a-kind girl. We like to call tripods “unicorns,” and Molly absolutely lives up to the name. Everywhere she goes, people fall in love with her. She soaks up the attention, gives the sweetest kisses, and has that gentle, loving personality that makes her impossible not to adore. If you’re looking for a playful, affectionate puppy who will bring happiness, laughter, and a little bit of magic into your life, Molly is your girl.
