Story
Lewey was adopted as a puppy of 8 weeks from a foster home. He was one of 7 puppies. He turned 6 years old on May 29th. As a result of recent knee replacement surgery and traveling frequently since retirement, I want Lewey to have a more family-like environment and not have to be boarded frequently. He loves to run and play and really needs a family to help him be more active as I’m getting older and have knee issues. He is a great protector and will inspect everyone who comes to the door. He’s protective of me around other dogs, but once around dogs without me, he’s fine. He has been to daycare and done very well. Lewey is also a typical herder as well. My daughter, granddaughter and 2 cats stayed with me a few years and he was quick to monitor the cats location once outside. He loves chasing balls and when I blow bubbles. He has a very sweet demeanor. He loves to be loved. 💕

Story
PLEASE READ THE ANIMAL’S PROFILE AND ALL NOTES BELOW BEFORE APPLYING! Hi, I’m Acadia 🩵🐾 I’m a 1-year-old Australian Shepherd/ Staffordshire mix with the perfect mix of playful energy and cuddly sweetness. I love exploring the yard, sniffing all the new smells, and then curling right up next to my people for snuggles afterward 🩵 I’m a curious, affectionate girl who enjoys being part of whatever’s going on. I’m a little more outgoing than my best friend Denali, but I’m still very gentle and loving. I’m friendly with people, calm around other dogs, and always happy to greet you with a wag and a little nuzzle 🐶 I already know “sit” and I’m learning new commands quickly—especially if treats are involved! I’m also working on my leash manners and gaining confidence every day. I’m crate trained, doing great with routines, and making awesome progress with potty training. I can sometimes be a little nervous in new situations, but I warm up quickly and love having reassurance from the people I trust. I’m mostly quiet, though I may give a bark or two when I hear something exciting or unfamiliar—just enough to keep life interesting 😂 Most importantly, I’m deeply bonded with my best friend Denali. She helps me feel grounded, and I help bring out her playful side. We balance each other perfectly, and I would absolutely love to be adopted with her 🩵🐾 My ideal home would be loving, patient, and ready for two sweet girls who just want companionship, cozy naps, and a safe place to belong. We’d thrive in a calm home with gentle routines, lots of affection, and maybe a yard to explore together. 🩵 A word from my foster: “Acadia is such a fun and loving girl. She’s playful, affectionate, and always wants to be close to her people. Watching her and Denali together is the sweetest thing—they truly comfort each other and make such a special pair. Anyone lucky enough to adopt them will have two incredibly loving best friends.” Acadia is Heartworm Positive! Acadia is bonded with Denali; if they cannot be adopted together, a doggy sibling is required. Adoption FEE: $350, which includes her spay, microchip, and vaccines. It is also a donation to go directly back to us to help us continue to rescue more animals. A Mercy Full Project (MFP) Adoption Application MUST BE COMPLETED in order for you to be considered as a potential adopter.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. OUR GENTLEMAN REMINGTON IS READY TO GO!! Meet Remington, a handsome 2-year-old Aussiedoodle with a sensitive soul and a whole lot of potential. Remington came to us as an owner surrender, and we believe he’s simply one of those dogs who somehow slipped through the cracks in the socialization arena. He hasn’t had the exposure, socialization, or life experiences that many dogs his age have had—but now he finally has the opportunity to learn. Remington is looking for an amazing family who will love him for exactly who he is today, while patiently showing him just how wonderful that big, wide world can be. Here’s what we’ve learned about Remington: He hasn’t had much experience walking on a leash, so a home where he would need to be leash-walked for every potty break—such as an apartment or housing complex with no yard—is not the right fit for him. A home with a secure fenced yard where he can decompress, explore, and build confidence at his own pace would be much better. Remington was recently neutered and is still learning how to navigate new people and other dogs. He doesn’t appreciate dogs getting right in his face, but he is adjusting to dogs who are respectful and willing to give him his space. And now we’re getting to see him blossom!  Check out his video in the comments below!!  Remington has been spending some time at Neely’s Pet Oasis in Wesley Chapel, where he is learning how to socialize appropriately with other dogs now that he is neutered, —and he is doing GREAT! A huge thank you to Alicia Neely for fostering and giving Remington this opportunity and helping us learn more about the wonderful dog underneath those initial nerves. Remington doesn’t need someone expecting a perfectly polished dog on Day One. He needs someone patient, kind, and willing to celebrate the little victories as he discovers that new people, new dogs, leashes, adventures, and life outside his comfort zone can actually be pretty amazing. ✨ Give this gentleman a little time, a little patience, and a whole lot of love—and we think you’re going to discover one very special dog. ✨ Remington is neutered, microchip, up-to-date on all shots and ready for his forever home!

Meet Nakita, a striking 4-year-old black Australian Shepherd with a heart ready for her forever home! 🐕 I'm a solid girl weighing around 50 pounds, and I'm waiting for an adopter who can help me become the best version of myself. As an unaltered female, I'll need to be spayed before heading home with you, but that's all part of getting me ready for our new adventure together. If you're looking for a beautiful, loyal companion, come say hello — my adoption is completely free, and I'm excited to meet you! 💫

These pups are in Bradenton, Florida too!

Story
🚨Border Collie/Herding Dog Experienced Foster or Foster to Adopt Needed. 🔹Pets Name: Penelope 🔹Age/DOB: 2 years old 🔹Gender: Female 🔹Spayed: Yes 🔹Weight: 50lbs 🔹Breed / Breeds: Border Collie Penelope is a very smart sweet border with typical herding tendencies. She has been on sheep and done very well. She is house broken leash trained. Does not like a crate but will go in , Needs work with crate training. Penny is a dog that needs someone who can set boundaries in a positive firm consistent manner. Typical of herders, she will try to control if she senses you are not in charge. She knows commands, she is motion activated as are most herders. We are working with that and she can be reactive with other dogs, thus the need for a dog savvy handler. She would do best in a home with one other dog or no other dogs for those less experienced. Fenced yard is a must, as is a knowledgeable border collie person . She would do well where she could work stock. She will be in the port charlotte area. 📩 Apply to foster or foster to adopt at the link below! ewenityfarmsbch.com

Story
Kip is a true velcro pup with a heart of gold. While indoor life is clearly a brand-new adventure for him—he's still not entirely convinced the TV is friendly!—he is adapting so quickly. He is crate-trained and has not had any accidents inside. He LOVES to meet new people and has a playful, bouncy energy. He will love a good physical play session with other pups once he is heartworm negative. When he gets super excited, he can be a bit jumpy, but he’s eager to learn how to channel his happy energy. While traditional fetch isn't really his thing, watching for squirrels and lizards in the yard is his absolute favorite hobby, and loves a good rope toy! Because he is food-motivated, working on new commands with him is fun and rewarding. He is a sensitive soul who thrives on encouragement and soft, positive reinforcement. He learns quickly and just wants to make his humans happy! Kip will do wonderfully with an owner who appreciates his playful side and is ready to give him gentle guidance and lots of love as he learns all about house-dog life. Apply to meet him today! 💙

Looking for a low key dog? Pick Mink! She is calm and sweet and loves attention. She does not like in your face dogs. Mink is just under 30lbs. She is not livestock reactive and seem to get along with everything but she has not been close to cats, so don’t know about that. She probably would need a fenced yard to be comfortable. Mink is currently fostered in the Spring Hill, FL area. Mink's foster is willing to travel within 2 hours of Spring Hill, FL for an approved adoption applicant!
