Scooby

German Shepherd Dog/Rhodesian Ridgeback

Male, Puppy

New Smyrna Beach, FL

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter,

Story

We are looking for a home for this beautiful pup. We are not his owners, but he is now safely in our care. To summarize: His owner was a local man who was going to have him put down unless we wanted to take him so we did. He is between 9-12 months, German Shepard mix (possibly Rhodesian ridgeback). He’s a big goofball, TONS of energy. Has separation anxiety and we are trying to work on crate training. He’s a jumper so I would recommend no small children. I don’t know how he is with cats but he met a female dog and he was perfectly fine. We are working on potty training. He had his first vet visit on 6/29 where he got all checked out and got some needed meds. Ideally, he should go to a home where someone is almost always home, or you work part time. A fenced in yard is also highly sought after for him as he is an escape artist. He’s just the most beautiful soul and we want him to have the best life possible!

Harry

Cocker Spaniel

Cape Coral, FL

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Story

Hi there! My name is Harry and I’m a very sweet and cuddly 13-month-old Cocker Spaniel boy who’s ready to steal your heart (and maybe nudge your phone away when I think you need more snuggle time). 😂 At 19 lbs, I’m a bit underweight but now with regular yummy meals, I expect to grow a little more into my adorably oversized ears and paws. I’m basically a fluffy tornado of love and mischief! Check out my video! I’m what you might call a “velcro dog” — I absolutely LOVE being around my people and don’t really understand this whole “personal space” thing yet. I’ll crawl dramatically back into your lap if you try to set boundaries because, let’s be honest, it works every time! 😆 I’m happiest when I can give you kisses, get gentle brushing (it’s so relaxing!), and just be your shadow around the house. I love all humans including kids but since I’m so active older dog-savvy kids would be best. I’m still learning the ropes of being a good boy. House training? Working on it…I’m smart and learning quickly especially on a schedule. Respecting your space? Getting better every day but with I’m still a puppy so I admit this skill is harder to remember! I LOVE LOVE LOVE playing with other dogs, so a playful furry sibling would be absolutely perfect for me. Cats probably not so much. Car rides used to scare me, but now I know they mean adventures and treats, so count me in! My past might have been rough — I was pretty scared of crates at first — but I’m learning they can be cozy with the right toys and comfort. Just don’t leave me in there too long, okay? I also have what’s called a juvenile cataract in one eye but the nice ladies here are taking me to the eye vet to see if it can be treated. I need a patient family who’s around a lot and ready to continue my training with structure, consistency, and LOTS of love. In return, I promise endless affection, entertainment, and those irresistible puppy-dog eyes that’ll melt your heart every single day. Ready to be my forever family? I can’t wait to meet you! 💕 You can submit an application to adopt me here, www.floridacockerrescue.org. ADOPTION FEE: $400
