PLEASE READ THE ANIMAL’S PROFILE AND ALL NOTES BELOW BEFORE APPLYING! ☁️ Hi, I’m Cloud 🐾🤍 I’m a 1½-year-old Bully mix with a sweet, gentle heart and a wonderfully laid-back personality. I may be a little shy when we first meet, but once I feel comfortable, my loving personality really shines. I’m learning my basic commands and already have the important stuff down—I’m crate trained, potty trained, house trained, and leash trained! I’m definitely more of a couch potato than a busybody. I’m perfectly happy being your lap dog, giving you kisses, getting belly rubs, and snoozing beside you. I don’t need an overly active lifestyle and am perfectly content with the occasional short walk followed by some serious relaxation. 😴🥰 I’m not necessarily looking for a doggy sibling, but I could live with another dog who understands that I sometimes want my personal space and may not always be in the mood to play. I’m happiest when my humans let me set the pace and give me plenty of love and reassurance. My foster says I’m basically a lovable little house hippo who enjoys snoring, sleeping, and collecting belly rubs! 😂 I may be a bit lazy, but I’m incredibly sweet and have so much love to give. If you’re looking for a gentle, affectionate cuddle bug who would happily spend her days beside you, I might just be your perfect match. ☁️🤍🐾 Adoption FEE: $400 which includes her spay, microchip, and vaccines.

PLEASE READ THE ANIMAL’S PROFILE AND ALL NOTES BELOW BEFORE APPLYING! 💗 Meet Karol G 🐾💗 Some dogs walk into your life ready to take on the whole world. Me? I’m still learning that the world can be a safe place. 🥹 I’m Karol G, a 1-year-old Pit mix, and I’m a sweet, loyal girl who is slowly discovering who I am and what it means to be a dog. I’m a bit skittish and nervous, but underneath those worries is a very, very sweet girl who desperately wants to feel safe. I’m potty trained, and while I don’t know any commands yet, I’m learning. I’ve had a lot to figure out, and now I’m ready for someone who will patiently show me that life can be full of good things. ❤️ I’m good with big dogs, but proper introductions and supervision are important for me. I’m still learning how to socialize and interact comfortably, so I’ll need someone willing to take things slowly and help me build confidence at my own pace. 🐾 I’m also currently going through heartworm treatment. I’ll need a family who understands I need patience and the care I deserve while I heal. My dream home is a quiet, peaceful place with someone who is home often and has plenty of love to give. 🏡 I need time to decompress and learn how to enjoy life outside of a cage. Continued socialization, positive training, and carefully supervised introductions will be incredibly important as I learn to trust and discover my personality. I may not be the dog who runs up to everyone with confidence right away, but give me patience, kindness, and a safe place to land, and you may get to watch something truly special happen — a scared little girl slowly becoming a happy dog. 💕🐾 If you’re the kind of person who understands that love sometimes means going slowly, celebrating the little victories, and simply being there, I could be the girl who changes your heart forever. 💗 Adoption FEE: $300 which includes her spay, microchip, and vaccines. It is also a donation to go directly back to us to help us continue to rescue more animals.

PLEASE READ THE ANIMAL’S PROFILE AND ALL NOTES BELOW BEFORE APPLYING! 🩷 Hi, I’m Kitty 🐾🩷 I’m Kitty, a 4-year-old Micro Pit, and if you’re looking for the ultimate cuddle bug, I might just be your girl! I’m loving, friendly, sweet, loyal, smart, and a little shy at first. Once I’m comfortable, I’ll happily show you just how much love I have to give. 🥰 I’m a major couch potato and absolutely love spending time with my people. In fact, if you stop petting me, I have a very simple solution—I’ll put my paw right on you to ask for more cuddles! I always want to be close, whether that means laying beside you on the couch or following you around the house. ❤️ I even like keeping my people company in the kitchen. While you’re cooking, I’ll happily sit right by your feet just so I can be near you. I don’t need to be doing anything exciting to be happy—I’m perfectly content just being included in your day and soaking up all the attention I can get. 🐾 I’m wonderful with older and younger cats and with both older and younger children. I know some commands, and I’m crate trained, leash trained, and house trained. I’m a smart girl who wants to please, and I’m ready to keep learning with my family. I would prefer to be the only dog in my forever home so I can have all the attention to myself. I’d do best with a family on the chill side, too. Because of my health, I can’t handle super long walks and I get tired and hot fairly quickly, so I’m much happier with shorter, easygoing outings followed by plenty of couch time, cuddles, and snacks. 💕 My ideal home would be with someone who has experience with my breed or understands my health needs and is committed to taking good care of me. Most importantly, I need someone who will give me lots of love, patience, affection, and of course, plenty of snacks! If you’re looking for a sweet, devoted cuddle bug who will put her paw on you whenever she needs a little extra love, Kitty is ready to be your couch companion and forever best friend. 🩷🐾✨ Adoption FEE: $400 which includes her spay, microchip, and vaccines.

Story
PLEASE READ THE ANIMAL’S PROFILE AND ALL NOTES BELOW BEFORE APPLYING! Hi, I’m Coco 🤎🐾 I’m an American Bulldog mix with the sweetest, gentlest heart. I may be a little nervous at first and take some time to feel safe, but once I trust you, I become the most loving, loyal companion—you’ll find me right by your side all day (except when I’m taking one of my many naps 😴💛). It’s clear I’ve had a tough past, so I can be a bit sensitive to new people and sudden movements. Sometimes I might flinch, especially with head pets, but I absolutely love gentle chin scratches and soft affection. With patience and kindness, I open up beautifully and show just how sweet I really am. I’m crate trained, potty trained, and very well-behaved in the home. I don’t ask for much—just a calm, quiet environment where I can feel safe and loved. I truly just want to be near my person and finally relax. My ideal home would be a quiet household (1–3 people) with a fenced yard, where I can take things slow and continue building my confidence. I’d do best as the only pet, so I can fully focus on bonding with my person without feeling overwhelmed. A little note from my foster: Coco is incredibly sweet and just wants to feel safe. Once she trusts you, she will follow you everywhere and love you with her whole heart—she’s going to be such a special companion to the right person 🤎🐾💛 Adoption FEE: $300, which includes her spay, microchip, and vaccines.

Story
PLEASE READ THE ANIMAL’S PROFILE AND ALL NOTES BELOW BEFORE APPLYING! 🤎 Meet Changity! 🤎 Also known as "Chickity China the Chinese Chicken" according to his foster mom. 😂 Changity is now 6 months old, and this handsome guy has come such a long way. He’s still a shy boy when meeting new people, but once he realizes he’s safe, he is the sweetest, most affectionate little guy. He loves being close to his people and would happily spend his day right by your side. He’s fully potty trained AND crate trained, and he’s doing great on regular puppy food now — no more prescription diet needed! 🙌🏼 Changity is great with other dogs and would really benefit from having a confident, friendly dog around to help him continue building his confidence. He’s naturally gentle and submissive and does best when he has another dog to show him that the world isn’t so scary. He is fearful of children, so he needs an adult-only home. He can also be nervous around men, but he does well with slow, patient introductions and given the time to warm up on his own terms. 🤎 Green Flags: ✔️ Fully potty trained ✔️ Fully crate trained ✔️ Great with other dogs ✔️ Sweet, affectionate, and cuddly once he trusts you ✔️ Gentle and submissive ✔️ Has made a lot of progress with his confidence 🤎 Things to Know: ✔️ Adult-only home ✔️ Fearful of children ✔️ Nervous around men, but does well with slow introductions ✔️ Needs someone patient who will let him warm up at his own pace ✔️ Has a history of seizures and is on Keppra 🤎 His Ideal Home: Changity needs a calm, patient adult home that understands that trust takes time. He isn't going to be the dog who immediately runs up to every stranger with a wagging tail, but once he decides you're his person, you're going to have a very loyal little shadow. A confident, friendly dog in the home would be a huge bonus for him. More than anything, he needs someone who won't rush him and will continue helping him learn that new people and new experiences aren't something to be afraid of. He's already come such a long way. Now he just needs the right person to help him keep going. 🤎🐾 ***PLEASE NOTE: Changity has experienced seizures in the past and is currently on Keppra. He has been doing well and will need his medication continued as prescribed. His medical history and seizure management can be discussed in more detail with interested adopters. Interested in Changity? Please submit an application to learn more about him and his medical history! Adoption FEE: $350, which includes his neuter, microchip, and vaccines. It is also a donation to go directly back to us to help us continue to rescue more animals.

Story
2-Year-Old Male | American Bulldog | ~75 lbs | Neutered | Fully Vetted Bishop Oreo is the definition of a big dog with a big personality. He is 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: LOVES the water! 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. If you’re strong, confident and committed, Bishop Oreo may just be your ride-or-die best friend. Apply to adopt at https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/LUVR/dog All of our adoptable rescues have a clean bill of health (unless otherwise stated), are spayed/neutered, vaccinated (age-appropriately), tested (FeLV/FIV for cats over 8 months of age, HW for dogs over 6 months of age), current on flea and heartworm prevention and microchipped. This is all included in their adoption fee that goes in as a donation to help us cover their medical costs and continue to help other animals in need. Any questions, concerns and suggestions, please feel free to contact us at ALDR@animalluvrs.org.

Story
PLEASE READ THE ANIMAL’S PROFILE AND ALL NOTES BELOW BEFORE APPLYING! Hi, I’m Coco 🤎🐾 I’m an American Bulldog mix with the sweetest, gentlest heart. I may be a little nervous at first and take some time to feel safe, but once I trust you, I become the most loving, loyal companion—you’ll find me right by your side all day (except when I’m taking one of my many naps 😴💛). It’s clear I’ve had a tough past, so I can be a bit sensitive to new people and sudden movements. Sometimes I might flinch, especially with head pets, but I absolutely love gentle chin scratches and soft affection. With patience and kindness, I open up beautifully and show just how sweet I really am. I’m crate trained, potty trained, and very well-behaved in the home. I don’t ask for much—just a calm, quiet environment where I can feel safe and loved. I truly just want to be near my person and finally relax. My ideal home would be a quiet household (1–3 people) with a fenced yard, where I can take things slow and continue building my confidence. I’d do best as the only pet, so I can fully focus on bonding with my person without feeling overwhelmed. A little note from my foster: Coco is incredibly sweet and just wants to feel safe. Once she trusts you, she will follow you everywhere and love you with her whole heart—she’s going to be such a special companion to the right person 🤎🐾💛 Adoption FEE: $300, which includes her spay, microchip, and vaccines. It is also a donation to go directly back to us to help us continue to rescue more animals.

Story
Penni is a sweet, snuggly 4 to 5-year-old girl who is ready to find the forever family she deserves. She was surrendered by her previous family when they were no longer able to care for her, and now she is hoping her next chapter will be one filled with love, stability, and plenty of cuddles. Penni is an incredibly loving, happy girl who adores her people. She is great with humans of all ages and loves nothing more than spending time with the people she loves. Whether she’s heading out for a walk, hopping in the car for an adventure, or curling up beside you at home, Penni is happiest when she’s included. With other dogs, Penni does best with slow, thoughtful introductions. She can be dog-friendly when given the time and space to get comfortable and build trust. Penni has so much love to give and is ready to trade the uncertainty of losing her previous home for a family who will be hers forever. If you’re looking for a sweet, affectionate companion who loves walks, car rides, snuggles, and being by your side, Penni can’t wait to meet you.   ##2817533##

Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Gaten is a lovable 4-year-old boy who has already fought so hard for his second chance, and now he’s just waiting for the family who will make it all worth it. Gaten was rescued from Orange County Animal Services in Orlando just moments before he was scheduled to be euthanized. He made it out of the shelter in time, but his journey wasn’t over yet. After entering rescue, Gaten needed treatment for a painful case of “happy tail.” Ultimately, his tail was amputated, allowing him to finally heal, feel comfortable, and move forward pain-free. Through all of it, Gaten has never lost his sweetness. He is incredibly friendly, affectionate, and full of love for the people around him. He loves making new friends and has a happy, easygoing personality that makes him such a joy to have around. After everything he has experienced, his ability to simply love and trust people is pretty special. Gaten is dog-friendly and could happily share his forever home with a canine companion, or he would be perfectly content soaking up all the attention as your one-and-only spoiled pup. He is fully vetted, healthy, and ready to leave the hardest parts of his story behind him. Gaten came heartbreakingly close to never getting this chance. He survived the shelter, overcame his medical challenges, and now there is only one thing missing from his story: a forever home of his own. This sweet boy has been given his second chance at life. Now he just needs someone to give him his happy ending.   ##2755961##

Coffee

Bulldog

Male, Adult
Tampa, FL
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Coffee is a 4-year-old Bulldog weighing in at a sturdy 37 pounds, and he’s ready to find a family to call his own. This handsome guy is everything people love about the breed. He has a big personality, an even bigger heart, and the sweetest wrinkly face that will melt you the moment you meet him. Coffee is friendly, social, and loves being around his people. Coffee gets along wonderfully with other dogs and does great with kids, making him a fantastic addition to many families. He does have a strong instinct to chase cats, so he’ll need a cat-free home where he can thrive. Like many Bulldogs, Coffee has some typical breed needs. He has allergies that will need routine management, and because Bulldogs can overheat easily, he’ll need a family that understands he shouldn’t spend extended periods outside in hot weather. In return, you’ll have a loyal, loving companion who is happiest by your side. Coffee didn’t do anything wrong to end up looking for a new home. He is an owner surrender who deserves a second chance with a family committed to loving him for the rest of his life. If you’ve been dreaming of adding a goofy, affectionate Bulldog to your family, Coffee may be the perfect match. He can’t wait to meet the people who will give him the forever home he deserves.   ##2782718##
