Gaten is a lovable 4-year-old boy who has already fought so hard for his second chance, and now he’s just waiting for the family who will make it all worth it. Gaten was rescued from Orange County Animal Services in Orlando just moments before he was scheduled to be euthanized. He made it out of the shelter in time, but his journey wasn’t over yet. After entering rescue, Gaten needed treatment for a painful case of “happy tail.” Ultimately, his tail was amputated, allowing him to finally heal, feel comfortable, and move forward pain-free. Through all of it, Gaten has never lost his sweetness. He is incredibly friendly, affectionate, and full of love for the people around him. He loves making new friends and has a happy, easygoing personality that makes him such a joy to have around. After everything he has experienced, his ability to simply love and trust people is pretty special. Gaten is dog-friendly and could happily share his forever home with a canine companion, or he would be perfectly content soaking up all the attention as your one-and-only spoiled pup. He is fully vetted, healthy, and ready to leave the hardest parts of his story behind him. Gaten came heartbreakingly close to never getting this chance. He survived the shelter, overcame his medical challenges, and now there is only one thing missing from his story: a forever home of his own. This sweet boy has been given his second chance at life. Now he just needs someone to give him his happy ending.   ##2755961##

Penni is a sweet, snuggly 4 to 5-year-old girl who is ready to find the forever family she deserves.

Whether she’s heading out for a walk, hopping in the car for an adventure, or curling up beside you at home, Penni is happiest when she’s included. With other dogs, Penni does best with slow, thoughtful introductions. She can be dog-friendly when given the time and space to get comfortable and build trust.

Coffee is a 4-year-old Bulldog weighing in at a sturdy 37 pounds, and he’s ready to find a family to call his own. This handsome guy is everything people love about the breed. He has a big personality, an even bigger heart, and the sweetest wrinkly face that will melt you the moment you meet him. Coffee is friendly, social, and loves being around his people. Coffee gets along wonderfully with other dogs and does great with kids, making him a fantastic addition to many families. He does have a strong instinct to chase cats, so he’ll need a cat-free home where he can thrive. Like many Bulldogs, Coffee has some typical breed needs. He has allergies that will need routine management, and because Bulldogs can overheat easily, he’ll need a family that understands he shouldn’t spend extended periods outside in hot weather. In return, you’ll have a loyal, loving companion who is happiest by your side. Coffee didn’t do anything wrong to end up looking for a new home. He is an owner surrender who deserves a second chance with a family committed to loving him for the rest of his life. If you’ve been dreaming of adding a goofy, affectionate Bulldog to your family, Coffee may be the perfect match. He can’t wait to meet the people who will give him the forever home he deserves.   ##2782718##

Meet Minnie! Minnie arrived at the shelter in rough shape—underweight, heartworm positive, and battling infections. Once thought to be 8 years old and possibly hospice, she’s proven to be a resilient, happy Old English Bulldog who may be younger than first believed! Now thriving in her foster home, “The Minster” is full of energy, loves toys, and enjoys zooming around. She’s still learning manners and, like most bulldogs, has no concept of personal space—so small children or frail individuals may not be ideal. She’s athletic, benefits from regular exercise, and is mostly housebroken but needs a crate or pee pad when left alone. Minnie is great with cats and dogs but can be a bit of a bulldozer, so very small dogs may not be the best fit. She needs a structured home with bulldog-savvy adopters who appreciate her stubborn yet affectionate nature. After a rough start, Minnie is now healthy, happy, and ready for her forever home! Apply to adopt at https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/LUVR/dog 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 over 8 months of age, 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.

🐾 Meet Opal — It’s Finally Her Turn to Be the Baby 🤎 If ever there were a dog who deserved her happily-ever-after, it’s Opal. Opal is approximately 3 years old, but she has already been through more than most dogs should experience in a lifetime. She was used as a mama and appears to have had at least a couple of litters. She also had a C-section, and when she came into care, the material that had been used to close her incision was shockingly heavy and rigid—described as looking more like weed-whacker line than normal surgical suture material. This little mama had truly been through the wringer. And somehow, after everything humans had put her through, she still came out sweet. ❤️ She has been with her foster family since July 5, discovering what life is supposed to be like: a soft bed, people who love her, doggie siblings to play with, toys to destroy, and the security of knowing she’s safe. And Opal is embracing EVERY bit of it. She absolutely loves to play and loves her foster siblings—especially her buddy Morty. 🐶❤️ She’s also a serious toy enthusiast. If you give this girl a stuffed toy, consider that stuffing officially living on borrowed time. She will find it. She will remove it. She will be very proud of herself. 😂 She’s also doing incredibly well in her foster home. Since July 5, she has had only one accident in the house, she’s doing awesome with recall and “place” commands, and they’re continuing to work on crate training. Opal is spayed, fully vaccinated, short, stocky, sweet, goofy, affectionate, and quite possibly the cutest little feet-dragging low rider you’ll ever meet. But what makes her really special isn’t what she’s learning or even how adorable she is. It’s that after everything she experienced, she still trusts. She still plays. She still loves people. And she has SO much love left to give. Opal has spent enough of her life being a mama. Now it’s her turn to be somebody’s baby. 🥹🤎 She needs a forever family who will give her the life she should have had all along—one filled with love, safety, playtime, doggie friends, ridiculous sleeping positions, and preferably a very generous budget for indestructible toys. 😂 Please share Opal. Her hard chapters are behind her. Now we just need to find the people who get to be part of the good ones. 🐾❤️ APPLY🐾 https://www.southernstatesbullyrescue.org/blank 📍Palmetto, FL

✨ADOPT ME XENA ✨ All we can say is WOW. What a beautiful dog Xena has transformed into! This girl is truly a miracle. Her level of starvation is not one you see too often. There’s skinny and then there’s on the verge of death emaciated. Xena was definitely the latter of the two. Her head was sunken, eyes sunken, you could see every bone, rib on her body. She was truly skeletal 💔 Now it’s time to complete Xena’s final chapter…. A forever home. Xena has done fine with the cat in her foster home but is a little possessive of her people with other dogs. She prefers to be the Queen of the Castle and after all she’s been through, she deserves just that. Xena is an easy keeper by herself and truly aims to please her people. She will be spayed, vaccinated UTD and microchipped prior to adoption. 🔗Apply online at https://www.southernstatesbullyrescue.org/blank 📍Clearwater FL

Bubbles / Redington Beach Available for adoption www.VIPRESCUE.org Breed: Frenchie mix Age: DOB 5-15-25 Sex: Male Weight: 10.5 lb currently Color: Gray and Carmel DOGS: He would prefer to be your one and only Kids: Adult only home Special needs: Need to have food home made for him. We will provide the recipe for preparation. Fenced Yard: Recommend, if not, you must be able to take him out every few hours. ******Please make sure to read the entire bio of the pet youre interested in before applying to adopt to make sure you meet the pets needs and that all questions are answered. ****** PLEASE NOTE: LOOK OVER YOUR APPLICATION BEFORE HITTING SUBMIT, AS INCOMPLETE APPLICATIONS WILL BE IMMEDIATELY CLOSED Hello friends, we have a very special pup wed like to update you about. His name is Bubbles, a happy 14 month old little boy who weighs in at a whopping 10.5 lbs. He is a very smart little guy, he knows how to navigate puppy stairs and gets on the sofa and out of the back yard (3steps) for play and potty. He has perfected the side eye when he knows he might being doing something naughty. He lovvvvees soft toys and nylabones. Bubbles is a tiny pup who loves to play with the other pups in his foster home as well as plays on his own yet he would do best as your one and only, and you will need time to dedicate to him. Like any puppy, he likes to chew on things, so he will need age appropriate puppy chew toys and a quick human to take rocks, twigs, leaves and anything he wants to taste, other than food, away from him. After playtime, he will settle down in a soft puppy bed or lap to relax. Please remember, puppies require ALOT of time, patience and consistency, especially in potty breaks. He does use a pee pad in his sleeping area at night, his tiny bladder can not hold it for several hours, he will need a very patient human in his furever home. Also, dont forget, he is very curious so youll need to puppy proof your home for his safety. A work from home family, or one who only works away from the home for just a few hours a day will be given preference. Bubbles came to us over a year ago with GI issues. We have taken him to vets and vet specialists to try and determine what is causing the sensitive GI tract. After numerous, and we mean numerous visits and tests with Veterinarians, we still dont have a concrete answer. A lot of people say its a Frenchie thing. We have been patient and consistent with his current diet and he is thriving. He does have a meal plan that will need to be strictly adhered to so he can continue to thrive. His food costs approximately $50.00 a week, and has to be made for him. Bubbles foster makes his food every 2 weeks, and will freeze portions for him. Obviously its going to take a VERY special person who will commit to this and of course to just love and dote on him. He does have some quirks. Dont we all?? He hates when his foster mom takes out the trash. He attacks the trash can and the trash bag, so he needs to be in an area away from this when this chore is in progress. We have no idea why he does that...funny, but not funny if you get the drift He sleeps in an x-pen with pee pads. He can not hold his pee or poo for the entire night. He currently goes out at 10-1030p for his last potty break and first one at 630am for outside time. He is then taken for a 30-40 minute walk. He is fed at 730a, 12n and 5p. He will remind you of these times if you happen to forget. He does well on leash walks and prefers to be the leader if you happen to walk with more than one dog or if you run into neighborhood pups while you are out. If you are eating..keep a watchful eye as he will try to take anything and every piece of food from you, even if you are mid-bite and he is close by, (remember he is on a special diet and CANNOT eat anything other than the home made food). Be very careful not to drop any food, if you do and he gets there first he will have loose stools for a few days. Trust us, its not worth it. Bubbles must have a family that will continue to show him all the good things that life has to offer, and will be willing to prepare his meals as stated, and be 100% committed and patient with him. We realize this is a lot to ask of someone, its not easy, but believe us, he is totally worth it. Considering his medical needs, we are looking for a family that is home a lot, VERY agile, and can spend the time with him that is needed. If you feel you might be that special human, please fill out an application at www.viprescue.org. We will discuss in detail all of his medical info with approved applications. Bubbles has been neutered, is current on his vaccines, microchipped, and is current on heartworm and flea prevention.
