Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet *Buttercup*! This adorable little girl has a heart full of love and endless amounts of affection to give, but she needs a special home where her unique needs can be met with patience and care. *Buttercup* has idiopathic epilepsy, which means she will need to stay on medication for the rest of her life and maintain a good relationship with a veterinary neurologist. Her condition is well managed with the right care, and she's a happy, lively pup despite it.
Due to some learning difficulties, *Buttercup* is still working on understanding boundaries, play bite inhibition, and social cues. Because of this, her perfect home would be one without small children or reactive dogs, as she doesn't always know how to respond to corrections or overstimulation.
What *Buttercup* needs most is a home with patience and experienced special needs pet owners who can provide her with the guidance, structure, and gentle training she requires. In return, she will shower you with love, loyalty, laughs and joy every single day!
If you're looking for a loyal companion and feel that you can provide the supportive environment *Buttercup* needs, she would love to meet you. Let's help this sweet pup find her perfect forever home!

Hi, my name is Cecilia Nieves. I am a certified veterinary technician @ Tampa Bay Veterinary Emergency Services as well as a full time mother. For about a decade now, I have been well involved in the veterinary field and for more than half of those years been actively involved in rescue work as well. I have worked with all kinds of pets and wildlife to even working as a Zookeeper @ Busch Gardens-Tampa.
Our name, AnimalLuvr’s Dream Rescue, comes with a bit of history as well. My mother and I moved to Florida when I was 12yrs old. My wonderful friend, Jenna, helped me create my very first email address. Always knowing I wanted to be in the veterinary field, I searched for animal lover and it had already been taken. Trying to be creative, I spelled it AnimalLuvr and from then on this became my logo and nickname. Being that this is my dream of having a rescue it is pretty self-explanatory.
In 2009 I began working hands on with both domestic and wildlife rescues that arrived to our emergency service in very critical conditions and this quickly made me realize that not only are there a lot of animals out there that need our help but a lot of them are strays that no one claims, confiscated animals and those that the owner either cannot or will not give them the care they need. The Tampa bay and surrounding areas are very lucky to have a hospital like Tampa Bay Veterinary Emergency Services that opens its doors to those unclaimed animals and care for them when no one else will. I am more than honored to say that Dr. Katy Meyer is not only supportive of my mission and goals but will be assisting us as being one of our wonderful board members!
June 2014 – After a year and a half of lots of invested $, tons of paperwork, calling the IRS at least monthly to follow up and patiently waiting – WE HAVE OFFICIALLY RECEIVED OUR APPROVAL LETTER FOR OUR 501c3 TAX EXEMPTION!!
