Found neglected and forgotten, she had every reason to give up on humans—but that’s just not who she is. Despite everything, this 38 lb, two-year-old girl still believes in love. She still wags her tail. She still greets every new person, dog, and even cat with gentle curiosity and warmth. She’s smaller than others of her breed, but what she lacks in size, she makes up for in heart. Canela is affectionate, eager to please, and happiest when she’s near her people. She’s the kind of dog who leans into you for extra pets, who looks up at you with soulful eyes as if she understands everything you’re saying, and who will trot alongside you, just grateful to be by your side. She’s also potty trained, crate trained, and food motivated, making her not just lovable, but easy to welcome into your home. Fully vetted—spayed, vaccinated, and on preventatives—Canela is ready to leave her past behind and step into the life she was always meant to have. Don’t let her be overlooked. She’s special.

Story
🖤 Meet Bishop Oreo 🖤 2-Year-Old Male | American Bulldog | ~75 lbs | Neutered | Fully Vetted Bishop Oreo is the definition of a big dog with a big personality — sweet, squishy-faced, and built like a linebacker. This handsome hunk was a shelter favorite who narrowly escaped euthanasia due to kennel stress. After a whirlwind of adoption, surgery, and a rough return, Bishop is now safely in our care and looking for the right kind of home to help him succeed. 💪 What Bishop Needs: Bishop Oreo is not for the average dog owner. He’s still very much a big puppy in a giant, powerful body. He needs structure, consistency, and strong leadership. Think: training, boundaries, exercise, more training, and even more exercise. Both physical and mental outlets are key to his success. ⚠️ Experience Required: We are looking for an experienced large/strong breed adopter who understands how to set limits with love. He is not aggressive — just unaware of how big, strong, and clumsy he can be. For now, that means: • No small animals • No young kids • No elderly or physically fragile humans • No first-time dog owners 🐕‍🦺 What He’s Like: Bishop is goofy, eager to please, and responds well to direction — when you have his attention. He thrives in a calm but active environment with someone who won’t let him bulldoze his way through life (literally). He enjoys being near his people, doing brain games, going for structured walks, and just being part of the pack. ❤️ With the right leadership and routine, this dog is going to be incredible. He just needs someone willing to put in the work to unlock it. If you’re strong, confident and committed, Bishop Oreo may just be your ride-or-die best friend. 📍Located in Tampa Bay Area. 📩 Apply to adopt at: www.AnimalLuvrsDreamRescue.org

Story
She came from the humaine society, so we believe she is at least 2-4 years old. Looking for a loving family that loves dogs! She is very very sweet, non aggressive, good mannered and very well behaved! Very obedient! She LOVES being outside and chasing the squirrels and lizards. She will stare up at a tree for hours if she knows there’s a squirrel in it, haha! She did go a little crazy over the cat so we don’t think she likes them. Other than that she is great at keeping you company and she will melt you with those big brown eyes. Unfortunately we cannot keep her and don’t want to take her back to the humane society. She also just had puppies recently when she came to us in August. We are definitely sad to let her go but hopefully she will have a new loving family that loves her as much as we do! I think she will definitely capture you heart!!
