Story
Nala was found in a Walmart parking lot as a puppy, and has been with my sister ever since. She is very loyal and affectionate, and under normal circumstances would never leave her family. There is a new baby in the family, and tragically the father has passed unexpectedly. This leaves the mom with few options, and unfortunately nobody in the family can take Nala in, since she is not good with cats. She would do good in a home with no other pets, however she will warm up to other dogs and would probably enjoy having a friend very much, as well. We do not know how she does around young kids about 12 and under, so we just don’t recommend it. She does have that prey drive that prevents her from being in a home with cats or other pets like rabbits etc. Overall, she is such a loving dog, and we are sorry to make this difficult decision. We are looking for a home that is patient and loving, and will treat her very well. Thank you for your consideration.

These pups are in Sanford, Florida too!

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Arya is a sweet girl who wants to find a hooman/family who will be patient with her and help her come out of her shell.  Once she warms up, she loves butt scratches and being petted. She is unsure of new people and needs time. She is very treat motivated and that does help!     Arya will need a home with a yard. She is getting better at going outside, but does not like noise or if it is too "peopley" as we call it. She especially likes going out at night when it is quiet and loves to do zoomies. She is really fast!  She loves soft squeaky toys, chewing on bones, and is both house and crate trained.    She does fine sleeping loose in the house at night. Arya is eating K/D prescription food. She does not have kidney issues, but her vet is recommending it due to the low sodium. She also is on an eyedrop medication every twelve hours. She had been drinking excessive amounts of water, and after bloodwork and other tests, her vet started a trial of this in March. Arya showed a good response to the medication and will remain on it.    Arya's favorite place to sleep is in a bed under my desk but loves other dog beds also.   For some reason she especially likes the small ones and curls herself up as small as possible to fit in them.  I believe she feels safe there. She does well with other dogs of all sizes, but can be dog selective and does not like to be disturbed when sleeping. Graduated from camp in 2024: Pet Rescue By Judy has teamed up with an incredible program called the Greyhound Advancement Center which will allow some of our dogs to attend a ten-week prison training program. The program originally started to help retired racing greyhounds learn how to “dog”. Greyhound racing is now illegal in our state, but the program worked so well that they decided to open up to other rescues and accept different breeds. Each dog is teamed up with an inmate who is in their dog training program. This program allows inmates to gain an important skill that they can bring with them when they are released. The head trainers are the best of the best and we are sure that these dogs are going to come out of this program with all kinds of tricks up their little doggy sleeves.  Our dogs are so blessed to be able to learn important obedience training to help with their confidence and make them awesome additions to a family. We cannot thank Greyhound Advancement Center enough for giving these dogs a leg up on getting into their forever home!  ****************************************** Arya was surrendered to PRBJ when her family had to move but were not able to take her. She is a sweet cuddle bug that would enjoy living in home with or without kids. She does great with kids of all ages and is great with dogs and cats too! Arya is housebroken, crate trained, and she enjoys sleeping with her family or in her crate with the door open:) As she is a bit timid, a fenced backyard is required to give her a safe place to romp and play in. New owners are encouraged to hang out with her while in the yard and leash walk her to better socialize and acclimate her to new surroundings.    Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.January 21, 2026, 6:23 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Our Sweet Surprise Litter!   Foster update:  Sweet Tower is settling in well and making great progress in her foster home! She is crate and potty trained and loves chew toys.   Tower is a talker—she loves to bark, whether she’s excited, curious, or letting you know she hears something outside. Because of this, she’d do best in a quieter home with low foot traffic. Busy households with lots of comings and goings are a bit too overwhelming for her.  She’s still working on her confidence. Large crowds and noisy environments make her very nervous, so she needs a calm, patient family that will give her time to adjust and feel safe. Tower would thrive in a peaceful home where she can enjoy quiet companionship, gentle encouragement, and lots of love.  She’s such a sweet soul who just needs the right environment to truly shine! ******She would do best in a home where she is the only dog.******  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~   10 Adorable Puppies Looking for Forever Homes These ten precious pups came to Pet Rescue By Judy after an unexpected twist in their former owner’s life. Their previous caretaker, a kind woman with a heart for animals, had taken in several adult dogs under the impression that they had already been spayed and neutered. A couple of months later — surprise! — she found herself caring for a full litter of energetic puppies. Unfortunately, due to health issues, she was no longer able to care for the growing group and reached out to us for help. Now, these happy, healthy pups are ready to find their forever families!   Puppies require time, patience, and consistent training — but the reward is a lifetime of unconditional love.    A fenced yard is preferred so they can safely romp, play, and burn off their puppy energy ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~    Important Information for New Puppy Parents   Welcoming a new puppy into your home is an exciting and rewarding experience—but it also comes with important responsibilities. To help your puppy grow into a happy, confident, and well-adjusted adult dog,  dedication to obedience training, socialization, and consistent potty training is essential .   We  strongly recommend that the  entire family  participates in puppy training classes . This not only helps build a strong bond with your new pup but also ensures that everyone is using the  same commands and techniques , creating a clear and consistent environment for learning.   **Puppies thrive with structure, patience, and positive reinforcement—and so do their families!  Let’s set them up for a lifetime of love and success.
