Story
Honey is a true honey! She is so sweet and loves to be loved on. She fairly laid back for a puppy after she gets her I love you and missed you energy out. She is one of 9 puppies of a rescue from Alabama who was saved from a kill shelter. She looks a lot like a lab. She is ready for her forever home and will no doubt be a joy to whoever decides to make her theirs. She has a brother Brinny left who has the exact demeanor of Honey. Just plain old loving babies. 🩷🐶💙🐶

Story
Stanley is a 70lb, 2 year old, fun loving, big puppy. He came to us as an owner surrender in 2022. He is dog friendly and loves his foster siblings. He is healthy, UTD, Neutered, crate trained and house broken. The wishlist: A family that will keep up his professional training and A fully fenced in yard. Potentially another dog, if not in the home then maybe one added later. Patience. Stanley is smart and wants to please. He is fun, happy, loves people and playing with toys. He has a great foundation and has gone through both basic training and basic training urban with Bayshore Dog Training. He knows sit, down, place, come, heel.

Story
Anyone who meets potato quickly falls in love with his sweet personality and cuddly nature. He’s the dog who will just come curl up in your lap and give you kisses. He’s a big fan of snacks as well, so he’s very easy to win over! He’s a total gem because he’s super playful outside with other pups but has a great off-switch when he comes inside. He loves other dogs but can overwhelm some cats so we would only recommend him for a home with very dog-savvy cats. Mr. Potato is a cute 10 month old crop earred pittie that we know is going to grow into the handsomest boy. He’s a bit wary of adult men but he’s been awesome with older kids (he hasn't met younger kids yet) and women. He’s still learning potty training but doing way better in his kennel. He’s vaccinated, neutered, microchipped, and heartworm tested negative.

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.&#226&#128&#188&#239&#184&#143Available for Adoption&#226&#128&#188&#239&#184&#143 Talk about a hunka- chunka- burning love!!! Please welcome this very special boy to 4 Lucky Dogs! Mr.Meaty! Mr. Meaty was rescued from the PRC and given a second chance when our good friend Melanie said she would take him home to foster!! Our rescue teamed up with Melanie to help provide Mr. Meaty the best chance at finding his perfect home   Mr. Meaty is a 2 year old lovable slobber chops that will melt your heart. He loves long walks, playing in the yard with his toys; playing tug and chewing on his Kong and Nylabones.  He is the best of both worlds he is as he plays hard but also loves to snuggle up with his person. He will sit and give paw for treats and will stand and give hugs when he sees you.  He has some anxiety and new situations scare him until he feels safe. His new adopter will need to take it slow and not overwhelm him. He is potty trained but not crate trained as being shut in the crate makes him panic.  Mr. Meaty needs an active home, a fenced in yard (at least 5 foot) since when he’s excited he will pull very hard on the leash (we are working on this). He deserves lots of attention so a family that is home more often than not. Since he’s not a puppy, and has already had a hard life at just 2 years old - he won’t be adopted to any home with small or young children. He is still working on his calm manners and could easily knock a little one down.  Mr. Meaty is adjusting to his home life - but in new surroundings has a tendency to howl when left alone, he is getting better every day - but is not suited for a home with shared walls (apartment, condo) This sweet boy will make anyone so happy to have him, he’s a great size, lovable and trainable - let’s give him the best forever home he could wish for!  Apply for Mr. Meaty at 4luckydogs.org and always remember - shelter dogs matter too! #4luckydogspetrescueinc #4luckydogsrescue #4luckydogs #4luckydogsanimalrescue #shelter #dog #shelterdog #shelterdogsrock #shelterdogsarethebest #shelterdoglove #shelterdogsmatter #prc #tampa #prctampa #tampabay #tampaflorida #tamparescue #tamparescuedogs #tamparescuedog #hills #or #hillsborough #hillsboroughcounty #staffy #staffylove #staffordshirebullterrierVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.May 5, 2024, 1:45 pm

Story
George (~2yrs) was adopted from the county shelter in March of 2024. He is 66 lbs. of happiness and high energy from the time he wakes up until evening! He also is house trained, he knows some basics (sit, wait (before food), lay down), he has a love/hate relationship with the crate, and he is a BIG cuddle bug - a stage 5 clinger at times! He can't hold his licker and loves to give kisses. Tug is his favorite game. He likes toss as well, but he doesn't like to share the toy for another toss. He prefers the thrill of the chase. Also, he can be mouthy when he plays/gets excited and likes to jump when greeting people and playing. Sometimes he chews things he shouldn't and his listening skills could use some improvement as well. Our family, however, are not so energetic and we don't have the schedule, training knowledge, patience, or finances to give George the happy, healthy, and active lifestyle that he deserves so we have made the difficult decision to rehome him.

These pups are in Lakeland, Florida too!

Story
Woof! Chester here but let's be clear: I wasn't named after Gunsmoke's Marshall Dillon's sidekick Chester, who had a pronounced limp. My all fours are just fine, even though I'm middle-aged at seven years. I'm an indoor dog who luvs humans and anything chewy. I still exhibit puppy behavior such as high energy, intelligence, and luv when balls and tug ropes litter the landscape. In between frenzies of play, let's enjoy a cuddlethon- pet me all over my 54-pound bod- before I zone out in my crate or hopefully, your bed. My previous owners mentioned I'm like Velcro- want to be glued to your side all the time. Before I was put up for adoption, the pawsome medical folks here treated me for an anal glands issue but all is OK now with my butt. Not a fan of thunderstorms but the rainy season is winding down so we'll deal with that next summer. So I'm waiting for you to stop by spcaflorida so we can get to know each other.
