Story
*CONGENITAL HEART DEFECT* Hi, I’m Cholula or Lula for short! I was born with a heart defect, specifically Mitral Valve Dysplasia. I will need to go to a veterinary cardiologist every 3 to 6 months for an echocardiogram to track the progression of my heart disease, and I will need to be on heart medications for the rest of my life. There is no cure and my lifespan will be significantly decreased as I will eventually progress into congestive heart failure. Adding me as a member of your family will be expensive, but I’m worth it! ♡ My foster mom says I’m the cutest little puppy and I’m very calm for my age. I like to observe what’s going on around me, and I love to chew on toys. I enjoy short play sessions outside and get mini zoomies. ♡

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
Hello, I'm Miley. I came to VOCAL when my owner could no longer keep me due to time and life events. I am a higher energy pup that would do best in a home where I'll have an outlet for my energy, like exercise and playtime! The shelter environment has been quite stressful for me, and I have been exhibiting some anxiety while here. Despite that, I have still shown a sweet and affectionate side and enjoy going on long walks. I also lived with other dogs and did well with them! With a little patience, I'd make a great companion.

These pups are in Gainesville, Florida too!

Story
I am an active, sweet girl who has lived with other dogs but may be most successful without kitty friends. I am quite accomplished- I can sit, shake, down, spin, and fetch- and as a whip-smart herding type girl I would love to learn more tricks and use my big girl brain in my adoptive home. Here in shelter playgroups, I enjoy relaxing in the play yards with other gentle puppy friends and the occasional game of chase. I can be flighty in new situations, even in fenced yards, so I will be most successful in a home that can monitor me during outdoor time and watch any entries and exits while I settle in and find my feet. While I can be a little shy to start, I warm up quickly into a friendly, engaging, silly girl. My adoption fee has been generously waived, so while you can`t buy love you certainly can rescue it. Ask to see me today!
