Story
Kip is a true velcro pup with a heart of gold. While indoor life is clearly a brand-new adventure for him, he loves cuddling on the couch! He is crate-trained and has not had any accidents inside. Currently fostered in Gainesville area, Kip is heartworm positive and the rescue is willing to pay for treatment up to 600 dollars. Our usual treatments range from 500 -700. He LOVES to meet new people and has a playful energy. He does a good job on leash and is not reactive to other dogs even if they are. When it comes to play, he matches other dogs energy. He is calm around the resident dog who is old and not interested in play, while he wants to play with the young, high energy resident dog. When he gets excited he may jump up on new people, but he’s easy to correct and knows to sit for his attention. While traditional fetch isn't really his thing, he loves a good rope toy! Watching for squirrels and lizards in the yard is his absolute favorite hobby, so this prey drive won't be the best fit for homes with cats. Because he is food-motivated, working on new commands with him is fun and rewarding. He easily learned commands like "sit", "here", "wait", and "go to your place" (for going to his crate). 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 a dog savvy owner who appreciates his playful side and is willing to be patient with slow introductions to resident dogs as he learns more about house-dog life. Apply to meet him today! 💙

Story
I got Fury 5 years ago from a pet store when he was a puppy. He is such a great companion and has the sweetest personality. He’s well trained, has been through 2 board and trains and is great at heeling, sitting, downing, placing and eager to please. 3.5 years ago he was attacked by a neighbors off leash dog and he hasn’t been the same since. Though I’ve worked through a lot of his reactivity to surprise dogs around the corner and in elevators, he still has reactivity in any apartment living we’ve been to. He needs a home, a backyard, and ample space to get his energy out and feel safe doing so. I want to keep him, and at this point I don’t have the finances to keep rehabilitating him, or to buy a home for him to live comfortably. I just want him to be happy and have a more stress free environment and life, full of love and play,

Story
Meet Odie! He's a 2-year-old bundle of energy and love looking for his next adventure. Sweet doesn't begin to cover it — he greets everyone, kids included, like they're the best part of his day, and he's a natural at the dog park with other dogs too. Odie has energy to burn and knows how he likes to spend it: fetch, tug of war, runs, long walks, splashing at the beach, or swimming. Wherever the adventure is, he's ready. His owner adores him, but between a demanding work schedule and other life changes, they can't give Odie the time and exercise a dog this full of life deserves. Rather than let him settle for less, they want him with a family who can match his energy and give him the playtime and love he has so much of to give back. If you've got room for a snuggle buddy and adventure partner in one, Odie would love to meet you. Ready for his next chapter — is it with you?

Roscoe is a wonderful dog that just needs help medically and I can’t keep him. I recently moved into a new place that does not allow animals and he needs a good home. His paws are turning red and he’s itching them a lot. I live a very busy schedule I hate losing him, but I have no choice so I want him to be with someone that will give him the care and attention. He deserves

Please visit our website for more information on the adoption process and to complete an adoption application. https://www.pawliferescuegroup.org/adoption-resources Sadie is the sweetest girl! A 60-pound,Australian Shepherd and Lab Mix. She came to the rescue overweight and has put in the work to get healthy again! Sadie is house broken, does well at home alone, and loves walks! She is good with kids of all ages and does well with other dogs with the right introductions. Puppies or high energy dogs might be a challenge as she likes her own space but with proper introductions she gets along with anyone. Cats are unknown. At 7 years old, she is calm and easy going but still has some young energy in her and would do best with someone who can commit to walking her daily. She is very vocal and will tell you exactly when she needs something. She loves people and is content to just be with you and would make a great companion for any type of household! Located in Pinellas County, Florida.

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.

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
This is Peanut!! Border/corgi mix but i see a lot of border!! He is a year old.. This boy is about a year old and a beautiful tri with a lot of white on him. He is neutered and up to date on all his vaccines/testing/wormer/flea and heartworm. He is heartworm negative. He is needs a place to shine, he is scared in the shelter but is well behaved and is really sweet and silly when his personality comes out. he is a bit timid of men but will allow touching once he sniffs you. Good with other dogs, Lets get this boy a place where he can run and be all he can be!! May be a sports prospect!!!! Peanut is settling in. He is very active and loves to play with other dogs but can be a bit overwhelming. He loved toys and will play tug or chase a ball (fetch in progress). He does jump up when excited and we are working on that. He walks nicely on a leash with a collar or harness. We are currently working on basic obedience and manners. Peanut needs an active home and would make a good running or hiking partner. He would also do well in dog sports. I will keep updating his progress.

Story
Boozie is an approximately 2-year-old Heeler mix who survived the heartbreaking Level Plains cruelty case. She was starved nearly to death before being rescued and given the chance to heal and learn what it means to be safe, loved, and well-fed. Despite everything she endured, Boozie has a bright future ahead of her. She is a slight heartworm positive and is receiving the care she needs. Now that the worst is behind her, this sweet girl is ready for the next chapter—finding a rescue or forever family who will make sure she never has to wonder where her next meal or safe place will come from again. Boozie survived. Now she deserves to live. ❤️ She is currently in AL and has transport to FL once she has a foster or adopter
