Story
Hi, I'm Remy! I'm a sweet, smart, energetic, and playful pup. I used to live a normal dog life until one day, my superhero journey began. I was chasing my favorite ball when it rolled into a secret lab. There, I accidentally knocked over a potion, and in a flash of light, I gained superpowers! With my newfound abilities, I decided to protect my neighborhood. But, being a superhero is tiring work. I ended up at the rescue, where I've found rest and care for myself and puppies. I'm now ready for a new adventure. Will you be my sidekick? I promise to fill your life with fun, joy, and the occasional superhero action!

Story
Hello there, I'm Bryce! I'm a pretty fun guy if I do say so myself. I like to run and romp in the yard with my doggie friends. I have a fair amount of energy but also love a good cuddle session. I've got a sweet disposition and I'm very friendly, always eager to meet new people and make friends. I'm also quite smart, if I do say so myself. I pick up on things quickly, which makes me a great companion for those who enjoy teaching new tricks. I'm a gentle soul, always treating others with kindness and respect. I've got a lot of love to give and I'm just waiting for the right person to share it with. If you're looking for a loyal, loving, and intelligent friend, I'm your guy. I promise to bring joy, laughter, and a whole lot of love into your life. So, what do you say? Are you ready to make a new best friend?

Story
Hello, I'm Bradley! I'm a very friendly boy who loves treats and toys and people! I enjoy going for long walks where I can roll around and bask in the sun. However, my journey hasn't always been sunny. Two and a half years ago I was hit by a car and my hind end was paralyzed for almost a month. My recovery was full of ups and downs over the next year. For the first few months I had issues controlling my bowels and had accidents. I received a full neurological exam and it was determined I most likely had nerve damage to my spine, which was causing my incontinence. We tried different medicines and acupuncture and eventually my accidents became less and less, but I still have them. No worries though! I have cute diapers to wear to help with my accidents when they do happen. As for walking went, I was determined to be on my paws again and was up and walking on my own within two months! I can run and hop around like any other dog! Despite what I went through, I am a happy boy that has so much life and love to give! I would love to find that patient person who can give me that extra bit of care and love I need. I am available Foster-to-Adopt to ensure my new home is the right fit. If you're ready to be that special someone, then set up an appointment to meet me!

Polly is the sweetest, happiest girl in the world. She loves people, loves to be loved, is a couch potato and loves to sleep on a bed. Polly would do better in a home as an only dog. (she wants all the attn and actually deserves it). Polly is deaf, but you would never know. She will need a fenced in yard.

Story
Athena has the grace and wisdom of a mature dog but is lively enough to run after a tennis ball...only problem is, sometimes she doesn't want to bring it back! She is smart, very attentive, treat motivated (but takes them gently), and even knows tricks like paw and speak. On her special trips to Wendy's she rides well in the car sitting in the back seat like a lady. Volunteers take Athena on weekly trail walks and she has met horses, other walkers, and plenty of bicyclists - she met all with calm interest. She was curious about the horses but wanted to keep her distance. However, she did crouch and back away from a boisterous little boy who approached her too quickly, so we probably would not recommended her for small children.  She loves to sniff! She loves to give kisses! We have additional pictures and videos of her playing - just ask.

Story
Say hello to your new best friend, Aphrodite! She had a rough start to life but you'd never guess that by her temperament. She is the sweetest girl who loves attention and to be with people. Loves to play with toys, enjoys taking baths, walks well on a leash, & loves to give kisses. She was found wandering on railroad tracks as an emaciated stray that had just given birth, but there were no puppies to be found anywhere. An all too common and sad story but she has so much more to offer than her past! She has gained all of her weight back and is gorgeous! She has a beautiful blonde and white coat with the cutest black nose & her black eyeliner tops it all off!

These pups are in Gainesville, Florida too!

Story
Meatball is one of the best girls out there. She is one of the most kid- and people-oriented dogs I've met in 20 years of pet rescue. Meatball loves attention almost as much as she loves treats. She is eager to cuddle and happily sits for hours with the 3 year old girl in her foster home. Meatball is crate trained and loads up great when it's time for bed, but she wouldn't complain if her new home gave her a little more freedom. She is crate trained and doing pretty well on her housebreaking with frequent trips outside, but she still needs a little work with signaling if she needs to go potty when she's inside. Meatball has the normal bulldog things - can get overheated so her new home should use caution during the hot Florida summers and she also has gets super itchy if a flea gets on her...or with certain seasonal allergies (her skin folds on her face, neck, armpits needs to be wiped regularly as they can get yeasty due to the humidity). Meatball is great with non-confrontational male dogs, but will pick fights with female dogs.
