Story
Look at that smile on Tonka's face! Tonka is such a happy girl and smiles whenever she sees someone she knows. She isn't fond of initially meeting new people so slow introductions are required but she warms up quickly and once you're in her circle of friends, you'll receive that smile every time she sees you. Her whole face lights up and her bum wiggle starts. You can't help but smile back at her. Tonka is 12 years old and has spent a great deal of those years at Satchel's. While she can be excitable, she wants nothing more than attention from those she loves. Tonka knows basic commands and walks well on the leash once her initial excitement over the prospect of going for a walk diminishes. She's looking for a quiet retirement home. A home with not a lot of "strangers" coming and going. A home welcoming that smile and her kisses every day. A home with someone to share all her love - she has so much to give. Please submit the adoption application (no commitment) found on our website, www.satchelslastresort.org, and make an appointment to meet this girl. It may take a couple of visits before she'll be ready to go home with you but she's so worth the time. She will win your heart with her giant ears and exuberant personality.

Story
* SPECIAL NEEDS - SOME STRANGER DANGER * Look at this handsome boy! Watson is a big boy who just wants to be a dog. He's an interesting dog in that he loves some people at first sight and others not so much so introducing him to strangers can be a little difficult. He would do best in a home with low traffic where he can get to know and trust the people coming through his territory. Watson is strong minded and needs a dog savy person. He likes to sit on your lap and is very affectionate but he doesn't care to be smothered in any way or have people in his face. He likes to play with ropes and chewy toys and sits like a perfect gentleman in the car. This boy is looking for someone to bond with who understands him. Is that you? He'll be your loyal companion for life if you're the one for him. For an appointment to meet him, please submit the adoption application (no commitment) found on our website, www.satchelslastresort.org.

Brooklyn is 2yrs old and we've had her since she was 5 months. She is very sweet however when the last 3 months or so she has started not getting along with other dogs in the house. We're thinking she needs to be in a one dog environment. Adoption/ fee is not important to us. A great home for her is priceless.

Story
Sweet Dusty Recently, we took in the sweetest obese boxer mix named Dusty. Sadly, Dusty and his siblings went to a "rescue in rural north Florida when they were just puppies and never left. It was organized hoarding and his entire life has been spent in a dark kennel After noticing his rapid weight gain and realizing the urgency, a volunteer drove 6 hours each way to get him. About a year ago, he was just 60-65lbs and he arrived here weighing a whopping 112.8lbs He looked like he was going to BURST. He was overfed cheap dog food, had very little exercise and his recent bloodwork revealed that he had hypothyroid and needed medication urgently. We are ecstatic to announce that in just a few weeks with us, Dusty has lost 11 POUNDS! After thyroid medication, good food and lots of play time, he prances around like he just got his bikini body back While we would love to keep Dusty with us, we feel he could go on to his forever home to continue his weight loss journey. His thyroid medication is only about $20 every 6 weeks. He doesn't need prescription food, but does need good quality dog food to continue to help him. He is great with dogs, cats and people and is a true gem. He currently weighs around 100lbs, but should get back to 65-70 one day. He is neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, heartworm negative and in Tampa. If you would like to adopt our sweet big boy, please complete an application. His adoption fee is $250. https://www.love4pawsfl.org/adoption-process

Story
*Foster home needed!* Sweet Stormy Our big, handsome boxer mix is looking for a home of his own, for the first time in his young life. Stormy came from North Florida where he was born in a "rescue facility" (along with his brothers Sonny & Dusty in L4P too) and forced to grow up there. He is surprisingly well socialized for not having seen the world. Stormy is a jolly guy. He's happy, personable and makes friends easy. He's big and strong on the leash, but such a nice dog. He doesn't require much, but his ideal home would have someone home more often than not. He likes companionship and to relax at home, but could also learn new things with his person. He is great with dogs of all sizes from small seniors to large playmates, both male and female. However, he isn't really into playing with other dogs. He's a great companion and would enjoy an easy going dog to coexist with or would be fine as your only dog. Stormy is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and heartworm negative. He is 6 years old (born January 2018), about 80lbs and currently in the Tampa area (spring hill). His adoption fee is $250. If you can give Stormy a forever home, please complete this application: https://www.love4pawsfl.org/adoption-process If you are interested in giving Stormy a foster home, please complete this application: https://www.love4pawsfl.org/foster *fosters must be in Tampa, Sarasota or in between.

Story
Sweet Sonny Sonny is one of our 3 boxer mix brothers that we just adore. They are sweet, harmless, big boys. Sonny is the smallest of the three brothers at about 65lbs and also the most reserved. He's such a sweet soul. The boys were born in North Florida at "rescue" facility and never allowed to be adopted out and leave. Sonny was born in January 2018 and has spent his entire 6 year life there. He came into our rescue in January and has since been working on coming out of his shell. We have learned that Sonny loves the backyard and gets happy zoomies out there. He has lived with all size dogs - small, medium and large - and currently lives with two cats. He is so submissive that the cats can stand next to him while he eats and he doesn't bat an eye. He's a gem. Sonny will need time to continue coming out of his shell and learning about the world. However, he's a great dog and an even better companion. He is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and HW-. He is on inexpensive thyroid medication (about $20 for 6 weeks), but that may not be needed forever. He is in St. Petersburg and his adoption fee is $250. If you can open your home to our sweet, shy boy, please complete an application: www.love4pawsfl.org/adoption-process
