Story
Pebbles is currently in a foster home , please call 239-332-0364 to book an appointment to meet her. Meet Pebbles! 🐾💗 Pebbles is a precious 13-year-old Shih Tzu with a lively spirit, a gentle heart, and the sweetest little face. This senior sweetheart may be a golden girl, but she still has plenty of pep in her step and so much love to give. Pebbles qualifies for our Silver Paws VIP program, which helps support senior adopters and senior pets—making it even easier for her to find the happy, comfortable retirement home she truly deserves. Pebbles will need lifelong medication (eye drops) twice a day because she has dry eye, but it doesn't slow her down! She also recently had 3 masses removed from the skin on her abdomen, but they were non-cancerous and proved to only be a nuisance that have been taken care of! Pebbles loves being close to her people, so we are looking for an adopter who will be able to be home with her most days. She also loves walks and treats! She has historically been an only pet, but she appears to do well with other pets in the home as well. Pebbles is currently enjoying the freedom of a foster home, so if you'd like to meet her please call to schedule an appointment!

Story
Hey friends, it’s me Curtis! I’m a 10-year-old, 10 lb Shih Tzu mix boy with a heart full of love and a zest for life! Here’s my story! I found myself at a local shelter, but Florida Coastal Cocker Rescue scooped me up, got me fixed up, and now I’m ready for my forever home! I’m a super sweet guy who gets along great with both dogs and cats—the more the merrier! I’m housebroken, did great in a crate, and I love going for walks. Honestly, I’d prefer to be outside enjoying the fresh air as much as possible because there’s just something magical about being outdoors! At night, I sleep on my dog bed right beside my human because being close to you is where I feel most at home. I can be cuddly sometimes, and I’m gentle and easygoing. I have no teeth, so treats really aren’t my thing. But don’t worry—I’m a great eater and I love my wet food watered down into a nice, easy-to-eat meal! I’m probably good with older, dog-savvy kids who understand how to be gentle with a sweet senior like me. Speaking of being a senior—adopting a senior dog like me means you get all the love without the puppy chaos! I’m calm, well-mannered, and I know what really matters in life: walks, fresh air, and quality time with my favorite person. Senior dogs have so much love left to give! If you’re looking for a calm, loving companion who enjoys the simple pleasures of life and will be grateful for every moment with you, I’m your guy! Visit www.floridacockerrescue.org to apply! ADOPTION FEE: $285
