My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hello there, I'm Karl, a three-year-old cattledog mix overflowing with charm and playfulness! With my endearing goofiness and joyous nature, I'm guaranteed to bring laughter and love into your home.

Toys are my passion-I can't resist a squeaky ball or a plushy friend to toss around. Whether it's a game of fetch in the yard or a puzzle toy indoors, I'm always up for fun and games. My enthusiasm is contagious, and I'll keep you entertained with my antics and my wagging tail.

I've got a special place in my heart for kids! Their energy matches mine, and I love nothing more than playing gently and sharing affection with them. I'm patient and tolerant, making me a perfect companion for a family with little ones who want to join in on the fun.

At three years old, I'm past the puppy stage but still have plenty of zest for life. I'm eager to learn new tricks and would thrive with continued training and positive reinforcement. With a little guidance, I'll be the well-behaved and loving companion you've always wanted.

I get along well with other dogs too and enjoy making new friends wherever I go. My friendly nature extends to everyone I meet, and I'm always ready to shower you with love and cuddles at the end of an active day.

If you're looking for a spirited and affectionate addition to your family, someone who adores playtime and cherishes kids, then I am the perfect match for you. Come meet me, and let's cuddle, play, and go on endless adventures together!

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

We hope you meet your four-legged love at SPCA Florida! Our goal is to help you find a companion that best suits your household. We have wonderful animals available and a great deal of information to share with you.

Adoption Process
When you arrive at the Adoption Center we invite you to take a look around and meet the animals. We encourage you and your family to spend time with each pet you are interested in to see which is the best fit. Our trained staff and volunteers are happy to answer questions about the animals and provide you with whatever background information we have regarding that pet. Please keep in mind we do not always know all of the adoptable animals’ history or background depending on how they arrived at SPCA Florida.

If you currently have a dog at home we recommend you bring him or her in to interact with your potential new dog.

When you find a pet you would like to adopt the next step is to fill out an Adoption Application, which will be reviewed with you by one of our trained counselors. The counselors will answer any questions you may have. If the pet is already sterilized he or she can go home the same day, otherwise the surgery is normally scheduled the next day and the pet can go home the day of surgery.

Adoption Fees
Adoption fees vary depending on species, breed and age. The fee includes:

•Spay/Neuter surgery for unsterilized pets
•Dogs are dewormed, tested for heartworms (if negative they receive a 30-day heartworm preventative; if positive a certificate for treatment paid for by the Guardian Angel Fund) and receive vaccinations for canine distemper, adenovirus type 2, parainfluenza, parvovirus and Rabies
•Cats are dewormed, tested for feline leukemia and feline aids and receive vaccinations for feline distemper, rhinotracheitis, calici virus and Rabies
