Story
Hi my name is Bella Donna. I am about 11 yrs old and weigh about 47 lbs. I am on the shorter side, but I am strong. I am smart, and I am stubborn! But I am also very beautiful as every single person who sees me tells me that, almost like that is my second name. Bella Beautiful or Bella Bellisima! I have been in boarding for a long time, I would love to have my own comfy bed and a family to call my own. I would need a strong person, and someone who is just as stubborn or more so, than me, as I need my training to continue, if you don't remind me, then I will forget, and then I will get in trouble, as I will revert back to my puppy ways of jumping on people, and they say that is not cool. I think it is fun, but whatever, that is what they say.  I am also friendly with people, I do like some other dogs, but I prefer to have all your attention to myself. I will probably learn to like another fur sibling, but you would have to introduce me slowly, as when I was younger another dog attacked me when I was just walking by him. Can you believe that! I love to go for walks and car rides. Adoption fee: $150.00 and includes spay/neuter, rabies vaccine, DHPP, and microchip.

Story
Franny has been waiting 3+ years for her perfect home!! This sweet girl is more than deserving. We can't believe she hasn't found her family yet! Franny is a delightful 5 year old girl who is eagerly seeking her forever home! This charming lady is ready to share a lifetime of love and companionship with the perfect family. Let's dive into her endearing qualities and find out if she could be the one for you! Personality:Our lovable girl has a unique personality that shines through once she feels safe and secure. She appreciates a calm and serene environment, which allows her true spirit to flourish. While she may be reserved at first, she becomes the most loyal and devoted companion once she forms a deep connection with you. Solo Dog with a Fenced Yard:This sweet girl dreams of being the sole furry member of her new family. She thrives in an environment where she can be the center of attention, receiving all the love and care she deserves. A securely fenced yard is a must-have for her, as it allows her to stretch her legs, explore, and enjoy the fresh air. Not Ideal for Small Children:Our lovely lady prefers a home without small children. While she appreciates a peaceful and calm atmosphere, she might not be comfortable with the energy and unpredictable movements of little ones. She thrives when surrounded by understanding adults or older children who can respect her boundaries. Blankets and Stuffies:One of her greatest joys in life is curling up with a cozy blanket and her beloved stuffed toys. Snuggling up on a soft blanket and cuddling her favorite stuffies is her idea of pure bliss. Providing her with these simple pleasures will make her feel safe, loved, and content. Car Rides and Puppacinos:Our girl is an adventure enthusiast, especially when it involves car rides. She loves feeling the wind in her fur as she embarks on exciting journeys by your side. And to make those trips even more special, she adores puppacinos from Starbucks. It's a delightful treat she looks forward to, and sharing those moments with her will create cherished memories. Fully Vetted and House Trained:Rest assured, our canine companion is fully vetted and up to date on her vaccinations. She has also mastered the art of house training, making her an ideal addition to any loving home. With her good manners and understanding of the house rules, she'll seamlessly adapt to her new environment. Longing for Her Forever Home:This incredible girl has been waiting patiently for almost three years to find her forever family. It's high time she experiences the love and stability of a forever home where she can thrive. Her heart is filled with hope, and she eagerly awaits the chance to meet her perfect match. If you're seeking a loyal and devoted companion who appreciates the little moments in life, our charming lady is waiting to capture your heart. Come and meet her, shower her with love in the form of treats, and give her the forever home she's been dreaming of. You'll discover an unwavering bond and a friendship that will last a lifetime. To learn more about our lovely girl or express your interest in adopting her, please fill out an adoption application: www.compassionkind.org/adopt She has been patiently waiting for far too long and is ready to embark on her new chapter of love and happiness with her forever family. ##1287833##

Howdy...my name is MoMo!  I am 2 years old and 50 lbs. I am very high energy and love to play. I love to play ball in the yard...so a fenced in yard is recommended for me. I love to play with the water from the hose too!  I am spayed, up to date on vaccines, hw/fecal negative, on trifexis, dewormed, microchiped.  I am good with kids! From her Foster Mom: She was adopted from a Polk County shelter and they no longer wanted her so they signed her over. . She is very strong and playful but must be the only dog. Not sure about cats. She does try to catch lizards outside so maybe no cats. She is just a really sweet girl who is looking for someone to love and play with her! She has so much Love to give you!!!  Momo has been waiting a year for her new "Furever Home".  Fill out her application at www.stfrancisrescue.org...and as long as my picture is showing...I am available for adoption!!!  We allow week trial stay to ensure you both are perfect for each other! **Please note that the St. Francis Dog Team only adopts out to the immediate Tampa Bay Area...thank you!April 23, 2024, 6:01 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Lord Byron, or LB for short, was abandoned by his family when they moved and is now being fostered through Rebels Rescue. This lover boy is so well-behaved, we can't imagine how anyone could leave him behind! He plays well with other dogs, is great with children, and loves to give kisses! He gets excited to see cats and is learning not to chase them. He does well with commands and listens like a champ so we think he'll catch on to co-existing with cats quickly! He's also great on a leash and enjoys walks. But most of all, he loves treats and attention! Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet. As a non-profit, we charge a nominal fee for all adoptions. In exchange for your adoption fee, all animals:  • Are spayed and neutered  • Are fully vaccinated based on age/weight at the time of adoption   • Have received a medical exam   • Are micro chipped   • All dogs are tested for heart worms  • All cats are tested at the time of entry for FIV and FeLV and will be specified if negative or positive in the medical as well as the description.  (Please note that FIV and FeLV testing at the time of entry do not guarantee the cats will be free of the disease.)

Story
Tricia is a fun-loving, spayed, ~45lbs,  ~2-3 year old, compact bundle of joy! Tricia loves to play with other dogs, toys, and water hoses. Tricia has lived with cats and does best with confident cats. Small foster kittens are a little too exciting for her, but this is expected for such a playful pup. Tricia enjoys mental and physical enrichment including food puzzles and would make an excellent hiking or other adventure buddy. Tricia was a hit with several Tampa Bay Buccaneers players at a recent event and has never met a stranger! Tricia has only been around children briefly during events and has taken treats gently from them but may accidentally knock smaller children over. Tricia responds very well to positive reinforcement training techniques and responds to the cues sit, shake/paw, down (as in lay down), off (great to use when tempting counter treats are within sniffing range!), touch, and place. Tricia is also house trained! Tricia can sometimes get a little overwhelmed and extra excited but is easily redirected with toys and/or treats. If you’re looking for a dog who will be your partner for all of your fun activities, Tricia is your girl!! All of our adoptable rescues have a clean bill of health (unless otherwise stated), are spayed/neutered, vaccinated (age-appropriately), tested (FeLV/FIV for cats, HW for dogs over 6 months of age), current on flea and heartworm prevention and microchipped. This is all included in their adoption fee that goes in as a donation to help us cover their medical costs and continue to help other animals in need. Any questions, concerns and suggestions, please feel free to contact us at ALDR@animalluvrs.org. ##1882624##

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.

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.April 23, 2024, 3:45 pm

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.

Maddie is a lovely, happy girl with a strong desire to please and lots of love to give. She came to us through a volunteer that saved and pulled 17 dogs from a shelter outside of Florida as they were in line for euthanasia for space. The facility literally has no space and often has to euthanize dogs as young as puppies. If you are interested in giving one of these lovely rescued dogs a wonderful forever home, please request an application. You can find more of these dogs in need under Skyway Dachshund Rescue on Adopt-A-Pet. Thank you for your consideration.

These pups are in Tampa, Florida too!

MAXX & ME PET RESCUE adoptable dogsEthan &#226&#157&#164&#239&#184&#143. The first thing that drew us to Ethan was the dramatic and horrific injury he sustained from a deeply embedded collar. We knew he needed help. The recovery he has made on that front in such a short time is truly remarkable! (Before pics, update pics, and current pics included in this post!) Like most dogs who suffer tragic injuries, though, Ethan is soooooo much more than that part of his story. The moment you meet him, his charisma bowls you over. His bright, sparkling eyes and goofy smile are as endearing as can be. Throw in the underbite that causes his jowls to hang on his teeth and… well… goooood luck not having to grab him and smooch his face! It’s impossible not to! Ethan will be neutered soon and on the hunt for his forever family. We are currently processing applications for him! (If in the Tampa area, we can do a foster to adopt and allow him to join your family right away!) He will need a fenced yard to run and cut up in. He would prefer a friendly dog or pack to join so he can wrestle and run and play with them but we will also consider an active family committed to exercise and socialization who doesn’t have a dog already. Ethan loves children and people of all shapes and sizes. People = pets, treats, all the “good boys”, so he’s a big fan! In addition to them going to heaven, he believes all dogs were put on earth to play and rough house so a home with crotchety older guys won’t work. Ethan needs younger dogs who want to be a mentor and demonstrate good behaviors he can emulate but who can keep up with him as he attempts to break the speed record for yard courses and zoomies. He also has some boxer in him maybe so he’s handsy and bumps with his chest when he plays. We cannot say enough about this guy! He’s delightful and will bring the fun and the love to any home he joins! Apps for our resilient dude @maxxandme.org Ethan’s adoption fee is $350April 23, 2024, 4:31 pm
