Story
Buster is a sweet, 3-year-old mixed breed dog with the heart of a cuddle bug and the energy of a German Shepherd. He’s a wonderful mix of American Pit Bull Terrier, Australian Cattle Dog, Husky, German Shepherd, and Lab, giving him a unique and lovable personality. I adopted Buster from a shelter, and he’s been such a joy. However, due to my busy work schedule and life changes, I can no longer give him the attention he truly deserves. He’s looking for a new home with people who can provide him with the love, playtime, and exercise he needs to thrive. What Buster Needs: 1. A fenced backyard to run and play in 2.Active owners who will take him on walks and play with him regularly 3.A single-pet home (he’s happiest when he’s the only dog) 4.Someone who can continue working on his kennel training at night Buster is a very special boy with a lot of love and energy to share. He’s ready for his forever home with people who can match his active lifestyle and shower him with affection.

Story
Meet Lovable Loo! 💕 Loo’s story began at Love’s Lookout near Jacksonville, where he was found all alone as a young pup. Despite his rough start, this resilient boy has grown into a big, goofy bundle of joy who’s ready to find a forever family to call his own. Loo had an adopter lined up, but that plan fell through — so he’s still waiting patiently for someone special to see just how amazing he is. With his striking dark chocolate brown coat and soulful eyes, he’s as handsome as he is sweet. At about five months old and 45 pounds, Loo is right in that fun, slightly clumsy “teenage” stage. He’s playful, loves attention, and will happily soak up all the affection you can give. He enjoys playing with toys, romping around in the yard, and snuggling up when the day is done. Loo is crate trained, house trained, and almost fully leash trained, showing what a smart and eager learner he is. He’s fully vetted and ready to step into his new life with confidence and love. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will grow up right alongside you — full of heart, energy, and endless affection — Loo might just be your perfect match. 💖

Story
Meet Chong – A Loyal Boy with a Big Heart! Chong is a terrier mix and the devoted brother of Shadow. Like his sister, he’s come through some tough times—but his resilient spirit and loving nature have never faded. Chong is calm, sweet-natured, and a little more confident than his sister, often taking the lead when exploring new places. He loves going for walks, lounging in the sun, and getting gentle scratches behind the ears. He bonds deeply with his people and thrives in a home where he can feel safe, appreciated, and included. Chong is dog-friendly and would do well either on his own or alongside another easygoing pup—especially if it’s his sister, Shadow. He’s looking for someone who understands that the best things in life sometimes take a little time and patience. With his warm eyes and steady heart, Chong is more than ready to be someone’s best friend.*To make an appointment to meet Chong, please complete your application at this link: https://PetsFurPeople.org/pre-application/ Follow it up with a phone call.

Story
LOCATION: Des Moines, WADOB: 10/31/2022Meet Sirius Black, a lanky, lovable Great Dane-Pittie mix who’s equal parts goofball and cuddle monster. His name may evoke mystery, but Sirius is an open book of love, curiosity, and food-driven charm.This big-hearted boy thrives when he’s with his people. Whether it's wedging himself beside you on the couch for full-body cuddles or throwing soulful glances your way just to make sure you know you’re his whole world, Sirius is all about connection. He’ll follow you from room to room like your oversized, four-legged shadow—and when it’s walk time, you’ll know. He bolts to the door with enthusiasm that only a dog who truly lives for walks can express.Sirius is smart, energetic, and motivated by treats—he’ll do just about anything for a snack. Mealtimes are a highlight, especially when his food is served in puzzle toys. But he’s no saint in the kitchen: Sirius thinks counters are buffets and your sandwich is fair game. He’s working on manners and boundaries, and he’s learning fast with a consistent leader.He’s also still a work in progress when it comes to confidence. Noisy appliances are his nemesis—especially the massage gun, which he’s certain is pure evil. With patient desensitization, he's making progress, but he’ll need continued support to feel secure. He’s shy with strangers, especially men, and needs a slow, respectful introduction to build trust.Sirius has a strong prey drive, so no cats or small critters in his future home, please. He’s wonderful with other dogs, especially ones his size who can match his playful energy. In fact, having a canine companion might be just what he needs to ease his anxiety when left alone. He’s kennel trained and housebroken, but he prefers to be where the action is—he wants to be part of the family, not off in a quiet room alone.While sweet and affectionate, Sirius isn’t ideal for homes with small children. He’s got zero spatial awareness and a habit of using his big paws to make a point, so older, dog-savvy kids would be a better fit. He also gets mouthy when stressed and needs someone who understands how to redirect that energy constructively.The perfect home for Sirius is one filled with patience, routine, and activity. He’d love an adventure buddy—someone who enjoys hikes, beach days, or even a jog now and then. Mental stimulation is a must. This isn’t a dog who’ll be content lounging around all day without interaction or a job to do.Sirius Black has all the ingredients of a lifelong best friend—brains, heart, loyalty, and a truly impressive cuddle game. With the right home and consistent guidance, this curious, affectionate soul will shine brighter than ever.========================= To apply to adopt me, please fill out the application form! https://form.jotform.com/51994996709176 .Note: SRGDRR adopts nationwide and offers transport options to help you find your perfect match!

Story
Lily roamed Jacksonville for a while, getting most of her meals from Chicken Express, which means she's been crossing a very busy road. She wandered up to a church with her litter of puppies in the spring, the kind ladies there took them all in. Pups have been adopted and now it's Lily's turn for the furever home she deserves. ❤️! She is heartworm + and is waiting in line (with Angel Paws Advocates) for treatment. Lily is quite protective of her home and people. She is cautious of new surroundings and new people/dogs, as expected because of her past, but will warm up quickly with proper introduction. She has been around several dog savvy children and does well! She LOVES attention, pets and being spoiled by her fosters.
