Story
Pistol Annie is a sweet, energetic girl who just turned 1 in April 2026. She was brought into our home by my youngest daughter and her boyfriend, and she has been a joy to have around. She’s wonderful with kids, other dogs, and even cats. Full of life, playful, and incredibly loving, Pistol thrives on attention and companionship.She is leash trained, potty trained, knows commands (sit, stay, shake, high-five, down, off) and has a great personality. At a little over 60 lbs, she still believes she’s a lap dog and loves to cuddle. Her favorite places to sleep are the bed, the couch, and anywhere she can be close to you. She is also used to her extra large-long cage.Due to our busy schedule, we want to find her a home where she can receive the time, attention, and affection she truly deserves. She will make an amazing companion for a family who can give her the love she gives so freely.

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
We are heartbroken to have to re-home our sweet girl, Bailey. She was dumped with her brother a few months ago. We rescued her and were hoping to have her part of our pack!She is 7 months old, born about Jan 2026. Sweet, energetic puppy that loves to play and snuggle! She is crate trained and mostly potty trained. Still have a few accidents from time to time but getting better every day. She is about 45lbs. Our older female lab mix (Peanut) has been less than welcoming with Bailey and we cannot realistically keep them separated. They do play together, but Peanut gets too rough and things have escalated several times. The LAST thing we wanted was to have to rehome her, but here we are. We have Peanut and a chiweenie (Squish) so I don’t think other dogs will be an issue. We do not have small children, so I cannot speak to that. Please send me any questions. We just want her to have a safe and loving home.

These pups are in Lakeland, Florida too!

Story
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! ❤️

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!
