Story
MAXX & ME PET RESCUE adoptable dogsDoggy Daycare Pro!Faith - our 'Faithy' :-)   Faith is a beautiful, petite, joyful, blonde and caramel pittie mix. At just around 40lbs, she is the perfect medium size girl. She LOVES and ADORES other dogs and needs her best doggy friends at all times. Her best friends are currently Krissy & Tobie, but Faith is a doggy daycare regular and might be the most popular girl in school. She plays with 50+ dogs at doggy daycare, loves to go in the kiddie pools and splash around, but can also just chill and relax in the shade.   At home, Faith loves everything cozy - blankets, cuddling, sleeping in bed with her humans, giving kisses and a good movie night on the couch. However, as soon as daylight hits, she's ready to run around in the fenced backyard with her friends. She is nervous around most men and takes time to warm up to them, but will come around. She will bark at them at first, but is easily persuaded with treats. She loves women.   In Faith's ideal home, she needs another playful, happy dog (or dogs), someone home often and a secure 6' fenced yard. She has been around all sizes and breeds of dogs and does well with all of them. She can be nervous at times, so a home without young children or young children that visit, is best for her so that they don't let her out.   Faith is spayed, microchipped, up-to-date on vaccines, heartworm negative and on monthly prevention. Her adoption fee is $250.   Adoption applications for Faith can be done at maxxandme.org. Please follow up with one email to maxxandmerescue@gmail.com to confirm receipt of your application.   Maxx & Me is an all volunteer, all foster home rescue and do not have a shelter. Please allow at least 48 hours for applications to be processed (missing information may slow the process, so please take your time and be thoughtful in your answers). All dogs posted are available (so no need to ask). We place dogs based on best home for each dog and not order of applications received. Email us at maxxandmerescue@gmail.com for updates and questions. Thank you for choosing rescue.November 3, 2024, 8:21 pm

Nena was adopted from the Pinellas Humane Society in 2019 and has been an amazing part of our family since. After COVID, Nena's dads had to start traveling for work more and more, now she is with dog sitters more than her family. Nena is looking for a home to spend her golden years in, chasing lizards in the back yard, cuddling on the couch watching Netflix with the family, playing fetch, and not having to change homes every few weeks. She might be 11, but is in good health and has plenty of energy to play like a puppy. She loves meeting new people and getting belly rubs, and being close to her family.

Champ is a 3-year-old neutered male who is microchipped, fully vaccinated, and ready for his forever home. He is a calm, gentle, and playful boy with a low-energy temperament. Champ was rescued from being euthanized after becoming very anxious in the shelter environment, but outside the kennel, he has blossomed into a sweet, affectionate dog. He just needs a little patience and lots of love to thrive. Champ would make an amazing, loyal companion for someone looking for a gentle and loving dog!

Story
Loretta is a 3-year-old staffy mix looking for her forever home. Her playgroup style at the shelter was described as gentle/dainty, and her foster believes she would do best with submissive dogs. She does love to play and absolutely loves to cuddle with her foster parents She does have skin issues, which is common in bully breeds. She will likely need to be on oral allergy medicine for life. She aims to please and knows tricks like "sit" and "kisses." Due to Loretta's size, we do not recommend a home with small children. She has not been tested with cats, but her foster family believes she would do best in a home with no cats. She is crate-trained and house-trained, and her foster family is able to leave her in their guest room and she isn't destructive. 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, 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.

Single female looking for forever companionship. Hi, I'm Dot. I am looking for my forever human and ready to settle down. I know my manners, as I have been through Cotillion classes.

Candlelight dinners will have me eating out of your hand. When you get home I will be eagerly awaiting your arrival. I prefer to be the only furry baby and light of your life. I am a medium sized girl at 50 lbs and am about 2 years old. My adoption fee is $350 and includes my spay, Rabies and DHPP, and microchip. I have also completed obedience training.
