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 Tampa, Florida too!

Story
Beau is a sweet and loving Catahoula Sheppherd mix with a lot of energy. He need a home that can give him all the love an attention he needs and the ability to run and take lots of walks. He's had experience with other animals and young kids and done well in all scenarios, but is a puppy, so keep that in mind. He does have anxiety in new situations and with new people, but with time and love he adapts well. He is allergic to chicken and potentially beef, so he's on a seafood only kibble diet.

Story
Ollie pumpkin patch pics as a young puppy 🌞 Ollie Puppy Boy! Ollie is about now 10 months old (7/10/25 birthday), 55 lbs and growing! This sweet angel came to us when our trusted vet called us. He had a wound festering for weeks and his owner did not take him to the vet. It stemmed from one of their dogs biting him. The outcome was not good…he may lose his right front leg when we took him in. Despite the easier route of amputation, we fought hard to save Ollie’s leg through flushing the wound/joint as well as bacterial cultures to effectively treat the raging infection. We are getting updates and x-rays every few weeks and we notified that his growth plate looks good and he is NOT going to lose his leg. We spent thousands on unexpected vet bills for this tyke but we love him and his life mattered to us! Ollie is good with other dogs but they must be large (no cats, no small dogs) and he really is happy as an only with a very active family.❤️🌞 Ollie’s adoption fee is $400 and he is fully vetted, neutered, UTD on shots and ready to find her perfect home🐾❤️ To help pay our thousands in vet bills 💔 Donations can be made:
