Rhodesian Ridgeback puppies and dogs in Lakeland, Florida

PLEASE READ THE ANIMAL’S PROFILE AND ALL NOTES BELOW BEFORE APPLYING! Hi, I’m Bob! 🐾💙 I’m a 5-month-old Black Mouth Cur mix with a heart full of love, a playful personality, and some of the best puppy hugs you’ll ever receive! If you’re looking for a loyal little best friend who will follow you everywhere, cuddle up beside you, and make every day a little brighter, I might just be your guy! 💙 First things first… I LOVE my people! 🥹 Seriously, wherever you go, I want to go, too! Whether you're walking around the house, relaxing on the couch, or getting ready for your day, I'll probably be right behind you. I just love being close to my favorite humans, and there's nothing better than knowing we're spending time together! And did I mention I give hugs? Because I do! 🤣💙 One of my favorite things is greeting my foster family in the morning. I get SO excited to see them that I give them the longest, sweetest hugs! It's my special way of saying, "Good morning! I missed you!" I'm also a big fan of cuddling and watching TV! After I've had some fun and gotten my puppy energy out, I'm perfectly happy settling down beside you for a relaxing afternoon. I might be a playful little guy, but I definitely know how to enjoy some quality couch time. Of course, I'm still a puppy, so I LOVE to play! 🐕💨 I'm energetic, confident, and always excited to have some fun. I get along wonderfully with big dogs and small dogs, and having furry friends around makes me so happy! I love being part of a pack, and I've actually been learning a lot just by watching the other dogs in my foster home. Speaking of learning… I'm a pretty smart cookie! 🧠🐾 I already know some basic commands like sit, down, and stay, and I'm crate trained, potty trained, leash trained, and house trained! Pretty impressive for a 5-month-old puppy, right? My foster says I pick up new things incredibly quickly. When they teach me something, I show improvement almost immediately, and I love learning from my furry foster siblings. I'm still young and have plenty more to learn, but I'm already off to an amazing start! I also have a naturally protective side. I'm a loyal boy who loves his people and enjoys being close to them. But underneath that watchful personality, I'm really just a big lover who wants affection, companionship, and someone to call my own. 💙 Now, there is one important thing you should know about me… I don't really enjoy being completely alone. I love having company, whether that's my favorite human or another dog. The good news is that I do wonderfully when my foster family leaves me at home with their other dogs! Having furry friends nearby helps me feel comfortable and relaxed. Because of this, my dream home would be with someone who works from home or a family with other dogs. I'd be especially happy having a friendly dog sibling to play with, learn from, and keep me company throughout the day. I haven't had the chance to spend time around children yet, so my future family would need to make sure introductions are gentle and supervised. I have a sweet, friendly personality, but I'm still learning about the world! My ideal home could be an apartment, townhome, or house, as long as I get plenty of exercise, attention, and companionship. A securely fenced backyard would be wonderful for playtime, too! ✨ My ideal home: 💙 Someone who works from home or spends plenty of time with their pets 💙 A friendly dog sibling, big or small, to keep me company 💙 A home with a fenced backyard for safe playtime 💙 A family who enjoys cuddles, puppy hugs, and quality time together 💙 Someone willing to continue teaching me new commands and good manners 💙 Plenty of playtime, exercise, and opportunities to socialize 💙 A family who understands that I thrive with companionship 💌 A word from my foster: "Bob is honestly the best companion! He's such a sweet, loving boy who follows us everywhere and absolutely loves to cuddle. Every morning, he's so excited to see us that he gives the longest hugs! He even loves sitting with us and watching TV. He's incredibly smart and picks up new training so quickly, especially by watching our other dogs. He gets along wonderfully with dogs of all sizes and does great when he's home with them. He's truly such a special puppy, and whoever adopts him is going to be so lucky!" I might only be 5 months old, but I already know one thing for sure… life is better when you have someone to share it with! 🥹💙 I don't need anything fancy. I just want a family who will include me in their lives, help me keep learning, and let me give them all the love and puppy hugs I have to offer. Whether we're playing in the backyard, learning something new, or cuddling up to watch our favorite show, I promise I'll be right there beside you! If you're looking for a smart, affectionate, playful little shadow who gives the best hugs and wants to be your best friend for life… I'm your Bob! 🐾💙 Adoption FEE: $400, which includes his neuter, microchip, and vaccines.

PLEASE READ THE ANIMAL’S PROFILE AND ALL NOTES BELOW BEFORE APPLYING! Hi, I’m Amy! 🐾🩷 I’m a 6-month-old Black Mouth Cur mix with the biggest heart, the sweetest personality, and an endless supply of puppy kisses! If you’ve ever dreamed of having a little shadow who follows you everywhere and loves you with her whole heart, I might just be your perfect girl! 🩷 My foster says I’m one of the most affectionate puppies they’ve ever met, and I take that as a HUGE compliment! I absolutely LOVE being close to my people. Whether you’re relaxing on the couch, walking around the house, or just going about your day, you can count on me to be right there beside you! And did I mention I give the best hugs? 🥹 Sometimes all you have to do is look at me, and I’ll get up from my cozy spot, come right over, give you some kisses, and put my little paws on you to remind you just how much I love you. I have so much affection to give, and I’m not shy about showing it! I’m also a playful, energetic little girl who loves having fun! I’m wonderful with children of all ages and would absolutely love having human siblings to play with. I’m smart, eager to please, and a quick learner, so I’m excited to keep learning new things with my forever family. 🩷 I'm already crate trained and leash trained, but I'm still working on my potty training. My foster takes me outside every 2–3 hours, and I'm getting better every day! Sometimes accidents still happen, but hey, I'm only a puppy! One thing I'm still learning is how to feel comfortable around other dogs. Sometimes they make me nervous, and I might bark or react when I see them. I've already made progress with my confidence, but I'd be happiest as the only dog in my forever home so I can continue learning at my own pace. My dream home doesn't have to be anything fancy! I could be happy in a house with a fenced backyard or even an apartment with access to a park and regular walks. What matters most to me is having a loving family who will give me plenty of attention, kindness, and patience as I grow. ✨ My ideal home: 🩷 A loving family who wants an affectionate little shadow 🩷 Children of any age are welcome 🩷 No other dogs in the home 🩷 A securely fenced yard would be wonderful, with plenty of safe playtime 🩷 Someone committed to continuing my puppy training 🩷 A family who loves cuddles, kisses, and spending time together 💌 A word from my foster: "I truly believe Amy is the sweetest, most affectionate puppy I have ever met. I've never had a dog before, and I never imagined a dog could be so loving and sweet. She has completely melted my heart! She's incredibly smart, caring, and always wants to be close to her people. I have no doubt that whoever adopts Amy will fall in love with her immediately. She'll become your little shadow and your most loyal companion." I might still be learning how to be the best puppy I can be, but there's one thing I've already mastered… loving my humans with absolutely everything I've got! 🩷 I don't care how big your house is or how fancy your backyard looks. All I really want is a family who will love me, teach me, and let me be part of their everyday lives. If you're looking for a sweet, playful, incredibly affectionate little girl who will follow you anywhere and shower you with endless kisses… I'm your Amy! 🐾🩷 Adoption FEE: $400, which includes her spay, microchip, and vaccines.

Hi, I'm Moka Pot Polkadot — and yes, that's really my name! If you don't know what a Moka Pot is, that's okay! Just like the classic Italian stovetop brewer, I'm rich with warm, espresso-brown tones and packed with high-octane energy to jumpstart your day! ☕ I'm an 8-month-old Catahoula Leopard Dog mix with a striking coat, already spayed and ready for my forever home. I'm a vibrant bundle of puppy energy with an adventurous spirit, but once I've run off my steam, I'm a total cuddle bug who loves nothing more than snuggling on the couch with my people. I've even mastered basic commands! I walk great on a leash, I'm super food motivated (which makes training a breeze!), and I'd thrive best in a feline-free home where I can be your devoted companion. My adoption fee is $250, and I can't wait to meet you and shower you with all the affection this wiggle butt has to give! ❤️

EXERCISE NEEDS: Daily Workout EASE OF TRAINING: Eager FRIENDLINESS WITH PEOPLE: Outgoing PLAYFULNESS: Amateur FRIENDLINESS WITH DOGS: Selective LEASH MANNERS: Pulls Sometimes Meet Roscoe, a 2-year-old mixed breed who is a world-class "wiggle butt" with a heart of gold. This handsome guy is the ultimate cuddlebug and a top-tier Doggy Date candidate who absolutely thrives on human connection. Whether he’s leaning in for pets or showing off his excellent leash manners, Roscoe is a joy to be around. He already knows his basic commands and is both food and toy motivated, making him a star pupil for anyone ready to continue his education. While he is incredibly sweet with people, Roscoe is looking for a specific kind of home where he can truly shine. He is quite dog-selective and specifically dislikes small dogs, so he would do best as an only pet or with a large, compatible dog friend. Due to his strong prey drive, he also requires a home with no cats or farm animals. He is a powerful, athletic boy who will require ongoing training to help him channel his energy and focus. If you’re a savvy handler looking for a loyal, toy-loving companion who will reward your dedication with endless affection and soft-toy snuggles, Roscoe is waiting to meet you!
