Story
I adopted Kyou from the Animal Welfare League in 2021. I have since become ill and need to relocate and he can not come with me. He is a very well trained dog. I believe he may have PTSD from his previous owner. There are a few things that make him cower. He is a docile dog and is a velcro dog for sure. He is about 11 years old and I believe he is Ridgeback and Lab with some type of hound mixed in there. He does not do well with thunder storms and fireworks. If you are not home when these things occur, he may have an accident in the home. He has lived with 2 little dogs this past 5 years, but has gone after the boy dog a few times. I would suggest he be the only dog as a precaution. He loves to play catch and go on walks. He loves sleeping in your bed, but does well on the couch if that's where you want him. He is very well mannered on a leash and obeys most commands. Even "back up" when taking him out and he hogs the door. I think he would be great for a single female/only dog.

We rehomed her from our neighbor who was going to surrender due to no fence yard and no time for her. I just had my husband pass and cannot handle the 3 dogs anymore it's just too much. She sleeps w me and is very loving. She gets along w my cats but does like to chase them in yard sometimes. She doesn't like car rides gets very nervous / panting. She is up to date on all shots just went to vet last week. Currently on Nexgard plus monthly. We have fenced yard w doggie door so never has accidents in the house. She is only 2

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
This big handsome guy is Cowboy! He’s approximately 2 years old and around 50 pounds. He comes from the working -scenthound group and is very strong, so he’ll do best with either a big, fenced yard for exercise, or someone experienced to walk a strong, athletic dog on-leash. He loves his people and is extremely loyal. He’s been tested with some mild mannered dogs and did beautifully.

Story
Hello there, my name is Vito! I was found as a stray abandoned in a remote area. I made my way to Guardians of Florida Animal Rescue where they provided me the medical and general care I needed to be ready for a furever family.I am estimated at 2 yrs old and appear to be a Mountain Cur/ Rhodesian Ridgeback mix, but I'm definitely on the smaller and shorter side weighing in at about 45lbs so must be another adorable breed in my mix! I am quite energetic, but not in a crazy puppy way. I would love to find someone who is active so we could go do lots of outdoorsy stuff together. I am dog friendly (proper introductions please).My $150 adoption fee includes vet check, up-to-date vaccinations, neuter, microchip and deworming. If you want to make me part of your family please go to www.gofar.dog and complete a free, non-binding adoption application. If you encounter any issues with our website, please email adoptions@gofar.dog.If you have questions, email my rescue at adoptions@gofar.dog. If you'd like to experience all the love I have, and want to make me part of your family, please complete the adoption application by pasting this link into your browser: https://service.sheltermanager.com/asmservice?account=sm2546&method=online_form_html&formid=21
