Story
Theo is a great boy, just has a few issues that will require a stern adopter. He is friendly with dogs and people, but due to his nature, no small children. He has been through extensive training. He knows all obedience. www.playk9resuce.org The adoption fee for this pet covers the cost of care which may have been for several weeks or several months depending on the health and other needs. The fee also covers all vet bills during this time to ensure his/her health is improved or maintained and provides you with assurance that this dog has been well cared for while in our possession and evaluated to meet your home's needs. Included in this fee is also life- long training support provided by PLAY! K9 Academy located in Bradenton, FL as well as Life time microchip registration. When you adopt from a local shelter, you may not receive any medical history for this dog nor will you receive any behavioral history. We hope you understand that the minimal adoption fee we are asking is to continue our mission to rescue unwanted herding and working breeds from shelters/owners and get them adopted to their forever home.

Story
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!

Story
EXERCISE NEEDS: Daily Workout EASE OF TRAINING: Capable FRIENDLINESS WITH PEOPLE: Loves Everyone PLAYFULNESS: Semi-Pro FRIENDLINESS WITH DOGS: Social LEASH MANNERS: Pulls Sometimes Meet Seymour: The Professional Cuddle Expert Age: 2 Year Old Breed: Catahoula Leopard Dog Mix If you are looking for the most calm, loving, and well-adjusted dog in the building, look no further than Seymour. While his name is a play on his partial vision, the truth is that Seymour "sees" more with his heart than most dogs. After a year in our care, he has become the staff favorite for his gentle soul and his absolute dedication to the art of the lounge. Seymour came to us as a puppy in November 2024, and has been looking for the right people ever since. His sweet and gentle, cuddly personality made him a staff favorite and we cannot figure out how or why he is still here! Everyone who has ever taking him out on a Doggy Date or kept him for a Sleepover have amazing things to say about how well he behaves outside of the shelter, but he just has not found the right fit yet. Why Seymour is the Perfect Companion? 1. He believes snuggling is his full-time job. If you’re on the couch, he wants to be right there with you. 2.He's a social butterfly and truly loves every human he meets and gets along famously with other dogs. 3.He accepts treats and food with the utmost politeness. 4. Unlike some pups, Seymour is a dream in the car and loves going for rides to see the world. 5. Though he has some vision impairment, his "internal GPS" is top-notch. He navigates most environments with impressive ease. Life With Seymour: Because Seymour is deaf, he relies on his other senses—especially his sense of connection to his people. He thrives on companionship and can sometimes be a bit vocal when he realizes his favorite humans aren't in the room. He isn't being "loud"; he’s just calling out for a little reassurance that you're still nearby! Training & Tools Seymour is a fast learner! Because he can see shapes and movement, he has excelled with hand signals and sign language. We have had great success using Acorns DEAFinitely Awesome Dictionary of Signs, which makes communicating with him fun and easy. There are also vibration collars that can be used to assist training for dogs that are hearing impaired. All of these tools are available online! Seymour is a living testament to the fact that a "special needs" dog is really just a "special" dog who has so much more love to give. Are you ready to be the person this handsome boy has been waiting a year for? Come meet our favorite professional lounger today!
