Story
  Muffin (A329799) - 4 Yrs - Spayed Female Heartworm Postive:03/25/2024 04/10/24 15:02 Muffin is white Australian Kelpie type dog. She is thought to be 4. Muffin is heartworm positive. Muffin will need more attentive care as she is very fearful with people. Muffin was seen roaming around an area for more than a year. She was trapped and brought in to MCAS on 3/19/24. Muffin currently has a URI and is not eating well. She will only eat at night after everyone leaves. Muffin has very high levels of fear, anxiety, and stress. She will not walk on leash but is able to be carried. Muffin needs to be in a calmer environment to help her recover and build confidence with new people. Muffin will need more assistance with placing her in a home. Dog Adoption: https://petstablished.com/adoption_form/31712/generic ##2017929##

Story
Candace is not just a dog, she`s a loving momma with a heart of gold! This affectionate pup knows how to sit like a pro and is always ready to show off her skills for a tasty treat. Her loving nature shines through when she`s in the yard, showering staff members with kisses and snuggles. Candace is looking for a forever family who will appreciate her sweet personality and shower her with love. She has shown some reactivity towards other dogs, so we recommend a dog to dog meet and greet with your furry friend from home.

These pups are in Ocala, Florida too!

Story
    This is Diego. He's an 11 month old Aussie mix that needs a foster home. He was a "free dog" online and the original owners did not represent him honestly with the new owners. Things are not working out and he needs to be properly placed (after full vetting). He is scheduled dor neuter on Tuesday. We hope to have a foster in place by then. He's great with his people and FEMALE dogs. His behavior around cats is unknown because the family does not have cats. There was a pretty bad fight between Diego and the senior male dog in this family. Since the fight the family has been distrusting of his behavior around the four-year-old as well so to be safe they have kept them separate. This is why he has to go. For this reason, we do not want him fostered with male dogs until he has been vetted and properly evaluated. We also do not feel that he should be placed in a home with young children until vetting and evaluation. He's a beautiful boy and deserves a happily ever after. We can help him find it!! It may well be he just needs his testosterone to be taken care of. Many dogs settle down after neuter and it's never fair to these animals when the original owners do not divulge all the information to the new owners. We feel this is a combination of situations that has just worked against Diego. Foster application can be filled out through this link: https://petstablished.com/foster_form/31711/generic If you fill out a foster application please give our director a heads up as we do not have a volunteer readily responding to applications at this time. It helps us to know that one has been submitted. You may text Aspen at 352-843-6858 ##1357659##

Story
Charlie is a good boy. He has a lot going for him!! *Basic obedience *Housebroken *Good with kids *Good with dogs *Neutered *Up to Date on Vax *Australian Shepherd mix Charlie really doesn't have any strikes against him. But there are a few NO-NO'S for Charlie... he is a high-energy herding breed and NOT appropriate for the very young children he lives with. He hasn't done anything wrong but the family is wisely identifying the problems BEFORE they escalate (which they WILL once the children walk and run). Charlie is also not good around cats and small animals. Those are his limitations and we can respect that. He is currently living with two children (under 2) and needs to be rehomed or taken into a reputable rescue. Our rescue has no available foster homes... but what we CAN do is share Charlie's story. We can also assist by screening potential adoptive families and representing Charlie through our adoption search engines. We offer Charlie an "umbrella" of sorts. We want to help and this is how we can. Please submit the dog adoption application, linked below, if you would like to be considered: https://petstablished.com/adoption_form/31712/generic This is a bit of a "post script rant" but it needs to be said... It's always so important, when properly placing a dog, to not set the dog up for failure. And most importantly... keep everyone SAFE. It is for this reason that we embrace surrendering owners. It is not our place to disparage them. We exist in the utilitarian capacity of HELPING THE ANIMAL. We cannot and do not serve the animals if we waste our time and energy pointing fingers and shaming owners. We want to fully support that animal in their important next step. And we must all be on the #sameteam if we are to accomplish that. Located in Ocala FL ##1860812##
