Story
Meet Ted & Bill! This tiny duo came in together and are inseparable. They are bonded brothers and need to stay together. They are just over a year old (13 months) and each only about 10lbs. Ted is the spark, the explorer, the one who wakes up already ready to do something. He’s full of curiosity and enthusiasm, always eager to move, play, investigate, and learn what’s happening five feet ahead. Ted is very sweet and affectionate in his own way, though he prefers playtime over snuggle time. Bill is the tender-hearted gentleman of the duo. He’s the kind of pup who believes couches were invented for cuddling and that bones exist to be thoughtfully gnawed into submission. Sweet, affectionate, and people-oriented, Bill enjoys being close to his humans and is happiest when he can curl up nearby after a good play session. They can be vocal at times, so a home with no shared walls is important. These boys are curious, require supervision, and consistent training while they learn how to be polite members of society. In return, they offer laughter, affection, and the kind of happiness that only puppies can provide. They’re exactly what puppies should be: joyful, chaotic, loving little beings ready to grow into amazing dogs with the right guidance. 🐶💙💚 They are microchipped, neutered, heartworm negative and vaccinated. They are located in Tampa and their adoption fee is $500.00 for the PAIR. Apply: www.love4pawsfl.org/adopt

Together, Bill and Ted are joyful, fun-loving puppies who approach life with enthusiasm and wagging tails. They adore playtime and bring constant entertainment wherever they go. As puppies, they are still learning the ropes and are actively working on potty training and basic listening skills. They can be vocal at times, so a home with no shared walls is a must.

Story
Everyone say hi to Arfie, a 7.5 year old 28 lb shih tzu boy. Yes you read that right, Arfie weighs 28 lbs and is in need of a home that will take him on walks and give him the opportunity to shed some much needed pounds---with that said this little boy is an " absolute gentleman" according to his foster mom. Arfie came to us after his elderly owner was unable to care for him longer due to her own personal issues----Arfie has come a long way from intake when he was all of 39lbs!!! He just wants to please everyone, has excellent house manners and deserves a chance at a great life in a loving home. He gets along with EVERYONE and is a soft and kind hearted soul....he has yet to meet a person he doesn't wag his little tail at and asks to say hello to. Arfie has a history of seizures and is on medication where it controlled now that he has been seen and treated for it by our veterinary team. He also is allergic to chicken and chicken by-products but is doing great on a diet of salmon and sweet potato kibble which is sold over the counter. If interested in adopting this darling boy please fill out an application at www.floridacockerrescue.org ADOPTION FEE: $300.00

Story
***Looking for someone to love***Hi- I’m Sparrow. I was named as a nod to the pirate Jack Sparrow from the movies. I was found as a stray in the Miami area after being attacked by an animal. I had bite wounds and bad eye injury. The kind people here at GOFAR rescued me and rushed me to the vet. Unfortunately, my eye had to be removed- but they were able to take care of everything else so I am now all healthy and feel so much better!I am estimated at around 3yrs old, I'm 12-13 lbs and appear to be a Shih Tzu. I am very sweet and affectionate. I walk well on leash and get along well with other dogs. I even did well with the kittens at the rescue! My favorite thing is to spend time with the volunteers in our meet and greet area. We play with the toys and cuddle!My $350 adoption fee includes vet check, up-to-date vaccinations, neuter, heartworm test (negative) 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
