Story
Hi- my name is Jetania! I came to Guardians of Florida Animal Rescue from another rescue that was overcrowded and needed help. I am estimated at 1.5 years old as of end of March and weigh about 30lbs. I look like a Carolina dog, maybe mixed with Basengi- rescue’s best guess. I walk great on leash and even know some of my basic commands. I am looking for a fairly active family where we can go on lots of walks and adventures. I tend to get along with other dogs; but, please, let’s do a proper meet and greet first!When I first arrived I was heartworm positive, but thanks to my new rescue, I was treated and I have now tested heartworm negative!My $250 adoption fee includes vet exam, up to date vaccines, spay, deworming and preventatives while in our care, heartworm test (negative) and microchip.If you are interested in adopting me, please complete a free, non-binding application at www.gofar.dog under Adopt.If you have questions, email my rescue at adoptions@gofar.dog. If you'd like to experience all the love I have, and want to make me part of your family, please complete the adoption application by pasting this link into your browser: https://service.sheltermanager.com/asmservice?account=sm2546&method=online_form_html&formid=21

TO GET INTO THE APPLICANT QUEUE, PLEASE COMPLETE A FREE, NON-BINDING APPLICATION ASAP AT WWW.GOFAR.DOG UNDER ADOPT - EMAILS AND VOICEMAILS CAN TAKE 24-72 HOURS TO RESPOND DUE TO HIGH VOLUME - TY!Hello! My name is Costello. I'm an adorable little Shih Tau puppy estimated at 13 weeks old and weighing in at around 7-8 lbs as of the end of March. I am just the cutest little boy. I came to the rescue as part of an unwanted litter and am so ready to find my forever family! My adoption fee is more than the other puppies and dogs at my rescue, but I'm told that I'm a more 'desirable' puppy than my other friends who are not as fortunate and will be at the rescue much longer than me, waiting for their forever home. My adopter will know that their fee will be helping support the other 200 or so animals at the rescue and not lining a breeder's pockets. My $1500 adoption fee includes vet exam, up to date vaccines, deworming, initial grooming, microchip, and neuter at one of my rescue's vets (Fort Myers, Port Charlotte, Naples, Miami or Orlando) when I'm closer to 6 months of age. If you are interested in adopting me, please complete a free, non-binding application at www.gofar.dog under Adopt as little ones like me get adopted quickly.If you have questions, email my rescue at adoptions@gofar.dog. If you'd like to experience all the love I have, and want to make me part of your family, please complete the adoption application by pasting this link into your browser: https://service.sheltermanager.com/asmservice?account=sm2546&method=online_form_html&formid=21

Story
Hello- my name is Anna. My siblings and I were found out in the freezing cold back in late January. We were all alone and so very scared! Thankfully, a Good Samaritan found us and contacted Guardians of Florida Animal Rescue! I am estimated at 4 months old as of the end of March and ready to find my very own family!. I appear to be a lab mix, maybe with cur? I am very sweet and have a gentle personality. I am learning to walk on leash, but really like playing in the yard more! I have met other puppies while here at the rescue and get along great with all of them.My $550 adoption fee includes the care I've received over the past few months, vet check, up to date vaccines, deworming, microchip and spay when I'm closer to 6 months old at one of my rescue's vets (Fort Myers, Naples, Orlando, Miami, Port Charlotte).If you are interested in adopting me, please complete an application at www.gofar.dog under Adopt.If you have questions, email my rescue at adoptions@gofar.dog.

Story
My name is Thor. I am a sweet older English bulldog boy weighing about 42 pounds. 5 years ago I was rescued by my owner who was so wonderful to me.I really had the best life here. Sadly, she passed away losing her battle to cancer. I am a boy who has anxiety from my past. I do take Prozac to help but still need reassuring when loud sounds like trucks and fireworks along with bad storms it scares me,so I need extra hugs and love. I am healthy and have no skin issues. I dont like to be left alone so if u do need to leave me I go in my crate with a blanket. I love car rides and laying in the sun too with company. I am good being an only dog and do well with cats. Please love me like my owner did, I will be your new best friend. $250 Adoption fee includes vaccines, neuter, heartworm test, deworming, and microchip. For more info email info@savinggracefl.org.
