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
🎄❄️ Christmas Adoption Bio – Meet Ice 🧊 ❄️🎄 All Ice wants for Christmas is you. 💙 Ice is an approximately 12-week-old sweetheart with the gentlest, most loving soul. She’s the kind of puppy who believes cuddles are a full-time job and will happily curl up right beside you for all the snuggles she can get. Calm, affectionate, and people-oriented, Ice loves being close to her humans and soaking up every bit of love offered. She’s already crate trained and doing wonderfully with potty training, making her an easy and joyful addition to any home. In the little over a week she’s been with us, Ice has proven herself to be one of those rare “old soul” puppies — playful when it’s time to play, and perfectly content to settle in for cozy moments. Her personality is pure Christmas magic: happy, loving, gentle, and eager to be someone’s forever companion. Ice is the kind of pup who won’t just grow up in your home — she’ll grow into your heart. 🎁 Ice’s Christmas wish: a forever family to cuddle with, love endlessly, and call her own. Could that be you? Adoption fee covers all vaccines and neuter at 6 months.

Story
Cash’s story hasn’t been an easy one. After his original owner passed away, Cash spent far too much time confined to a crate that was too small for him, with very little time outside. The other dogs in the home were semi-aggressive toward him, leaving Cash overwhelmed, stressed, and misunderstood. He was labeled “aggressive,” but the truth was much simpler: he just needed space, kindness, and time to decompress. And once he finally got that… everything changed. At the boarding facility, Cash slowly relaxed and revealed who he truly is — a playful, goofy, incredibly gentle big boy with a heart as soft as his back-scratch-loving soul. He’s strong, yes, but so good with people. He takes treats from a 3-year-old with the softest little nibble, melts under affectionate hands, and loves forming bonds at his own pace. Cash does best with slow introductions and thrives with female dogs or calm canine companions. He’s not a fan of intact males and can become overstimulated around them, but with the right match, he’s a wonderful playmate. Most of all, he’s deeply food motivated, loves to learn, and adores being included. Cash is waiting for someone who sees the beauty in giving a dog a second chance — someone who understands that love, routine, and time will bring out his very best.

Story
Meet Lovable Loo! 💕 A goofy, chocolate-brown pup named Loo, hoping this holiday season brings him the greatest gift of all, a forever home. Loo’s journey began at Love’s Lookout near Jacksonville, where he was found alone as a tiny pup with a big will to survive. Despite that tough beginning, this brave boy has blossomed into a joyful, affectionate, slightly clumsy “teenager” who fills every space with warmth and laughter. He almost had a home lined up, but when that fell through, he never lost hope, and he’s still patiently waiting for the person who will see just how special he is. At about five months old and already 45 pounds of love, Loo is: ✨ Adventurous & curious ✨ Affectionate & snuggly ✨ Athletic and enthusiastic ✨ Friendly, goofy, and great in the car ✨ Food-motivated and smart, learns quickly! ✨ Playful, toy-loving, confident, and patient ✨ Independent but so happy to be near his people ✨ crate trained, house trained, and nearly mastered the leash. ✨ Fully vetted and ready for forever, Loo is the kind of dog who grows right along with you; loyal, eager, and full of heart. 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 Rosie – a pint-size princess ready to rule her own kingdom! 👑 Rosie is just over a year old and a petite 30 pounds. We believe she’s a Boxer/English Bulldog mix, and she has all the charm to match her royal title. She’s wonderful with people of all ages, does great with other dogs, and didn’t bother outdoor cats. With slow, proper introductions, she’ll likely do well with indoor cats too—she may just need help learning gentle play boundaries, especially with kittens. She even enjoys watching her foster kittens play from the catio! Rosie walks nicely on a leash, is crate trained, and is newly house trained. She hasn’t had an accident in a long time, though continued reinforcement in a new home will be important. This sweet girl was found roaming back roads in a high dump area, but those days are behind her. Rosie has completed heartworm treatment, is fully vetted, and is officially ready for her forever home! 🐾 Rosie would thrive with a secure, fenced yard and a person or family who can be home with her often. She loves curling up nearby while you work and will gently nudge you with her nose or paws when she’s ready for pets or belly rubs. One of Rosie’s cutest quirks? She’s a little treasure collector! Toys, shoes, remote controls—she gathers them up and proudly keeps them on her bed. No chewing, just hoarding her prized possessions 😂 If you’re looking for a loving, loyal companion with a big heart in a small package, Rosie may be your girl.

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.
