Story
We have entered the age...the age of Adaline! I'm Adaline, and I've been dreaming of finding my very own home furnished with the biggest, the comfiest, the best dog bed! I absolutely adore people and will crawl into your lap to ask for a neck massage, but I'm also a champ at keeping myself entertained. I will collect aaall the toys and bring them over to my bed like the most adorable dragon collecting gold. Nylabones are my most favorite, and I will merrily chew away on one while you work, but you can always call me over when you need a cuddle break! I'm intrigued by treats and working on learning my basic commands, but I'm already mastering nice leash manners. I would prefer to be the only pup in the home, so I can have your love all to myself. Come on, let's meet!

Story
Heyyy, I'm Lill, and I might be a petite lady, but I have a HUGE heart that is literally bursting with joy at just the thought of getting to spend time with you today! Sometimes I get overlooked because I bark in my kennel, but it's only because I want to be out and with you! I have my moments of puppy energy, but I'm actually a quiet girlypop and will sit next to you and just wag my tail and gaze up lovingly at you.I don't mind hanging out with other dogs and getting some play time in, too. I'm still figuring out how toys work, but I do looove food and have already learned sit. I quite enjoy the kiddie pool and will splash around like the most adorable lil fishy ever. I hope you have a lil room in your heart for me!

Story
Mi hoy minoy. Oh, silly me, allow me to translate for you - I am Doodlebob. If I could just borrow a pencil...I could write down all the things I love about life: tennis balls, peanut butter, humans, learning. I'm an attentive student and can settle my wiggly booty down when it's time to learn. I already know sit and down, and the humans are currently teaching me heel, come, and speak. I've been a friend to the other dogs I've met thus far, too. I can definitely go zoom zoom when it's time to play, but my indoor manners are simply divine, and I would make a super solid dog for someone who wants a little of everything. Ask to meet me!

Story
My name is Cashew, and I'm totally nuts about you! And all people! And playing! And other dogs! And cats! Wow, I actually love everything! But I have to say, my most favorite thing is....chairs. I will weasel my way into your chair, sometimes I will sit in your lap for cuddles, other times I'll just sit behind you. As long as I'm the center of attention, I'm the happiest little fella ever. I've been working on sit, down, paw, and I'm believed to be housebroken. I'm so smart that I actually learned how to climb fences, so I do best with supervised yard time. I'm full of beans, so zooming around with other dogs is always great fun, and after a day of play we can sit in a cozy chair together. Let's get acquainted!

Story
Ray is a 2-3-year-old Pit Bull who came to us in rough shape. He was emaciated and heart worm positive. He has since put on plenty of weight and looks like a healthy, slightly beefy boy. He is on the slow kill heart worm method so he is available as a foster to adopt until he is heart worm negative. He loves people and can get a little exited so he may be too much for young kids, but may be just fine? He likes toys and is eager to please. He is going to make an excellent side-kick for some lucky human/s.Visit us at the Gainesville Petsmart on Archer Rd Saturdays 11 am to 5 pm and Sundays Noon to 5 pm.

Story
Hello there! I'll give you a chance to guess what I'm as cute as......okay, yes, the answer is BUTTON! I'm a dashing boy with a brain that's bigger than my ears. I'm an easy walker, very attentive and ready to sit, and I seem to be housebroken. I will play tag with other dogs out in the yard, and I actually do well enough with other dogs the humans use me to dog test the newbie dogs. I love humans just as much and will gladly sit with you while you get work done. I am what you would call a "solid medium energy" and fabulous at reading the room and matching the vibes. If you wanna play, great. If you wanna chill, also great. I feel strongly I could be a do-it-all dog, and I hope you will give me the chance to show you how superb I am. Let's meet!

Story
Captain Goober came to us in bad shape. He had a very badly injured leg. We were lucky enough to get some funding from a special donor to the UF Small Animal Hospital and he was able to receive a very expensive and specialized surgery, and rehab to fix him. Captain was also very undersocialized with both humans and dogs. Due to this, he will likely time to warm up to any new people, but if you can be patient with him, he is such a good dog and has come so far! He also circles when nervous, but this is simply a soothing technique for him, and not a neurological concern. He absolutely is not fond of cats and should not go to a home with any cats or smaller animals. He has not been around children, but should be find with older kids, provided them give him time to warm up and let him come to them on his own. He would do best with a female dog that is playful but accepting of some pushy behvaiors. He will also have arthritis in his healed leg, and would do best on supplements. We are looking for an adopter with breed experience.
