Story
Updated October 2023: Annie is a very special special needs dog. She is completely deaf, but very happy and athletic. She was born in September 2016 and is a happy 7 year old. She's looking for a very experienced adoptive home that can work with her and keep her safe. She's enthusiastic about everything she does. (Lately that's digging!) She is interested in playing with other dogs, but her cues and enthusiasm can be misunderstood - for those reasons, we'd prefer for her to be an only dog. She has a strong prey drive and cannot be placed with cats. She's crate trained. She's spayed, microchipped, heartworm negative and up-to-date on vaccines. If you'd like to learn more about her, call or text Jody at 352-316-5155 or email her at 2ndChRescue@gmail.com. - - - - - PS. Second Chance Rescue posts our pets on AdoptAPet.com. While we are grateful that AdoptAPet shares their information with partner sites, including Overstock and PetHarbor and others, we don't have any control over how frequently those partner sites update their content. Therefore, if you're interested in a particular animal, we encourage you to visit www.adoptapet.com/2ndChRescue/ for the most up-to-date status, description, pictures and/or video of a particular pet.

Story
Nona is a very loving girl. She is happiest snuggling under a blankie with you. She is fully potty trained and crate trained. Has never gotten into the garbage or chewed anything. She is 2 years old and 40lbs. She does well with other dogs her size or smaller. Has not had any experience with bigger dogs. She can be very nervous with new things. She has never shown aggressions just timid at times. Our baby seems to get hives when Nona licks her. She really is a good girl but our baby seems to be allergic to her.

Story
Looking for a sweet, goofy boy? Look no further. Meet Train… Train is a 4 year old terrier mix who is kennel trained, potty trained, walks well on a leash and knows basic commands. Train’s only requirement is that he finds a family of his own who will love him forever and treat him like the prince he is meant to be. Could that be you? Train loves to play ball, romp in the yard, is super affectionate, however, he would be content sitting next to you on the couch while you binge watch TV. Train is overall a great dog with a sweet demeanor. We will be happy to test dog/cat capability if needed. Train is located in Sumter County, Florida with Hearts and Paws Rescue.

Story
Thank you for your interested in Cash. This sweet guy's owner was no longer able to care for him and Cash became homeless at no fault of his own. Cash is a medium sized mixed breed male. And you guessed it, his name is Cashew as that is his coloring. He is a handome boy with the sweetest eyes. He is crate trained and well mannered, pretty easy over all. We are unsure of his history with young kids or other animals; however, we do know that he is wonderful with both males and females. Cash is being fostered in Sumter County, FL with Hearts and Paws Rescue. Please consider meeting this lovable guy. We promise...you won't regret it.

Story
Oh,sweet Norbit. We just adore this guy. He was saved from a kill shelter. Do you know that black dogs tend to stay at the shelter significally longer than lighter colored dogs? Many black dogs are euthanized as a result? We couldn't let this happen to Norbit. Norbit is a ball of energy and has so much love to give. He doesn't realize people may be scared of a stronger looking dog. He just wants to be the center of attention. Norbit would really love to be with someone who loves to exercise and he will be your partner in crime and protector. Norbit is a goof and we all smile just when he is around. Norbit is crate trained and loves to learn. Please ask us any questions you may have on our very handsome guy. Adopting Norbit, will give our rescue the ability to help another black dog. One that has limited time left at a shelter. Hearts and Paws Rescue is a non profit and all donations go towards saving other animals from kill shelters. Most of which need medical, vaccines, spay/neuter, housing, flea/tick/heartworm meds, etc. By fostering/adopting this pup, you will also help to save another. Thank you for your interest in adopting a rescue dog.

These pups are in Gainesville, Florida too!

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Meatball is one of the best girls out there. She is one of the most kid- and people-oriented dogs I've met in 20 years of pet rescue. Meatball loves attention almost as much as she loves treats. She is eager to cuddle and happily sits for hours with the 3 year old girl in her foster home. Meatball is crate trained and loads up great when it's time for bed, but she wouldn't complain if her new home gave her a little more freedom. She is crate trained and doing pretty well on her housebreaking with frequent trips outside, but she still needs a little work with signaling if she needs to go potty when she's inside. Meatball has the normal bulldog things - can get overheated so her new home should use caution during the hot Florida summers and she also has gets super itchy if a flea gets on her...or with certain seasonal allergies (her skin folds on her face, neck, armpits needs to be wiped regularly as they can get yeasty due to the humidity). Meatball is great with non-confrontational male dogs, but will pick fights with female dogs.
