Story
Snickerdoodle is the sweetest and most loving dog that I've ever met. She's a true "velcro" dog that's low to medium energy. She would love to be adopted into a household that would provide her with snuggles. She's been a staff favorite everywhere she's been due to her extremely loving and affectionate nature. Snickerdoodle loves to play fetch and gives the ball back gently. Snickerdoodle was seized by law enforcement in an animal cruelty case. While her previous owner's trial was ongoing, she (and 30 other dogs) had to live in a holding facility because they were considered evidence. After her previous owner was sentenced and incarcerated all of the dogs were set to be euthanized. Our nonprofit organization stepped in and pulled all of the dogs that were adoptable and loving with humans. Snickerdoodle and a few of her friends are now at a family owned boarding facility. They've had time to decompress and allow us to see their true personalities. Snickerdoodle is unsure around other dogs so if her adopter has another pet they would need to commit to a slow introduction process. She's only lived on a chain and in a holding facility so her adopters will need to be patient with her as she learns to live in a real home. She's located in Florida but transport can be arranged for the right situation. She's spayed, fully vetted, up to date on shots and is ready to find her happily ever after.

Story
Bender had a rough start in life but he doesn't let that get him down! He's 3 years old, 42 lbs and happy all of the time. Bender has never met a stranger and loves humans and other dogs. He's housetrained, rides in the car like a perfect gentleman, and would love to go everywhere with his new owner. Bender is outgoing and sweet and is ready for his forever home. He's currently being fostered in the Tampa area. Bender is a bit bowlegged due to spending his puppyhood on a chain but the vet has assured us that he has no issues related.

Pit Bull Terrier Chesapeake Bay Retriever

Size

Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Emily seems to have zero interest in other dogs and wasn’t interested in the tester dog. Is calm and quiet, low-medium energy. She enjoys chewing on her bone, going for walks and being petted. Is a staff favorite due to her loving and calm demeanor. Spayed and vaccinated. Emily lived in a home but her owner went to jail. He/she was going to be in jail for a while and asked a friend to surrender her to the shelter. Based on her appearance when she was surrendered it was unknown how long she had been left alone before being surrendered. Emily was on the euth list at this rural shelter and the kennel staff felt so strongly about her that they fought for her life. Emily is an easy going gal who will make an excellent companion and make her new owner laugh a lot! She instantly wins the heart of anyone who meets her and is so ready to have a home of her own.

Milo

Pit Bull Terrier Hound (Unknown Type)

Male, 3 yrs
palm bay, FL
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Milo has done well with other dogs on pack walks and leashed introductions. He loves to be pet and loved on but flinches if you move too fast. After 1-2 soft pets he starts wiggling and wants more love. He’s got a really goofy personality and is one of those dogs that you can’t help smiling around. Milo is food motivated and enjoys learning new things and doing enrichment. He's a smart boy who is eager to please and would love a family of his own. Milo is a survivor of animal cruelty, his previous owner is incarcerated and Milo would need an adopter that understands that he's never lived in a house or had a loving owner of his own.

American Pit Bull Terrier

Central, FL

Story
Joey was rescued from Orange County Animal Services just hours before he was scheduled to be euthanized. He is just a puppy--a year old--and just fun, affectionate, eager-to-please, and loves to play with other dogs. He's quite docile, will take a submissive role with alphas and happy to be around other pups (has been fostered in a home with other foster dogs and does well with all). He has a sad face that we hope will lighten up in a loving home of his own but he is a happy boy just waiting for his forever home to choose him. The adoption fee is a donation to the organization with recurring donations of any amount preferred to help us maintain our rescue services.

Rylo

American Pit Bull Terrier

Male, Adult
Cocoa, FL
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Rylo has been my best friend for about 5 years now. He’s has been a loyal and very protective companion. But with the birth of my son and another child on the way, we have a hard time allowing my son to really interact with Rylo because kids are rambunctious and at the end of the day, a dog is a dog. So I’m looking for someone who at least has some knowledge of the pit bull breed and can give Rylo a better home than what we’re allowing. He’s great with people but has some dog aggression. He insist on dominating any dogs he comes across. But he would moke a great addition to a home that doesn’t already have pets.

Story
“I came to H.A.L.O. in 2019 as a stray. I was and still am a scared little cookie. I have come a long way thanks to the encouragement of my trainers, handlers, and caregivers. I do best with positive based methods. Because of my fears, restraint being number one, I was first muzzle trained and actually, I don’t mind it at all! Once I was comfortable wearing my new jewelry, I was able to continue to be shown new experiences like salon days with pedicures, and in the end… it wasn’t really as bad as I thought!When I trust you, I open up into a bundle of mush. I enjoy walks… especially hiking trails, one on one time with enrichment toys, and fetch! I do need to be an only child, and one can never forget that I will never unlearn to use my teeth if I am pushed into a corner. If we take this journey together, I can promise we will create an incredible bond and when I feel safe, I can conquer any fears with you by my side!”Requirements: Requirements: Fence; Misfit, Handler appointment onlyAll of our dogs and cats are spayed/neutered, up to date with age appropriate vaccinations, heart worm or feleuk/FIV tested, fecal tested, rabies and tag, and microchipped before being placed in your home.
