Story
This is Buddy, he also goes by Bud, Budderball, Buddernut squash. He is so full of energy and fun to be around. He needs a lot of space to run, play and tons of attention. He was born September 29th 2019, he loves playing fetch, although sometimes he doesn’t like to bring the toy back. He loves squeaker toys and big chewy bones. He can be very hyper at times, but he loves children, he’s afraid of small dogs, which he always assumes every dog wants to play. He’s never been aggressive, I’ve never seen any violent side to him. He’s definitely not picky when it comes to food, but he does love fresh pet, pure balance and blue Buffalo products. He’s such an amazing dog. He will whine or paw you if he needs to go outside. He just needs so much more love and attention in his life with lots of play room.

Story
Very sweet girl. We got her from Lee County a few months ago. We recently had a change in management at our apartment complex and were told that husky is a restricted breed unless they are a service dog. She is good with other dogs and has the sweetest temperament. She knows commands like sits, down, speak and shake(hand shake)

Story
Minnie is a very fun and outgoing dog. She is super energetic, loving and friendly. For years I’ve known that it’d be challenging to keep a dog like Minnie in an apartment complex, but I held on, because she was all I knew. But i have come to make a very difficult decision, which would be in Minnies’ best interest, to find a new forever home. She needs to be outdoors more, running around, and not in her cage majority of the day. She needs that compassion and attention, and belly rubs that she loves so much, not just a few walks a day. I am in dire need of a loving home to rehome Minnie. She gets along well with dogs after an introduction. She has been with me for the past 7 years and has been around my now 3 year old son since he was born, and there has never been any issues with the two of them. Minnie is up to date on her rabies and DA2PP shots as of 12/28/24. Please submit an application if you are interested.

Story
I found Frankie in 2023 in the Everglades. She was found with a small pitbull/weiner dog mix, who my friend kept. he’s a good boy! But Frankie has reactivity issues with dogs and cats, and i’m assuming every animal. She lunges and barks, and even went after a dog once on a walk. It was very aggressive. My living situation has become tough, because I can’t afford to live on my own with her, and my roommates both will have cats next year. She will 100% hurt them if we live together. I don’t want to let her go, because other than her aggression towards other animals, she is the sweetest dog i’ve ever had. She loves to cuddle, wants to be close to you all the time, and is my best friend. She really deserves more than having to be locked in a crate while cats get to roam, causing her stress to be a lot worse. I’ve tried working with her on this behavior and I have had no luck. I have had her for almost 2 years and she is honestly one of the best dogs i’ve had the chance of loving.

Story
My contact: 2394436598 **Mars will be forced to return to the shelter/may be put down soon if I can't find adoptee!** Girlfriend got him but I'm terribly allergic (didn't know). The vet aged him at 2 years. He is house trained (not chewing shoes and other things besides his toys and not peeing whenever he wants). Knows various things like sit, stay, waits for food, responds to control commands/clicker. Mars is really calm, does not bark, is not too reactive; though likes to socialize with other dogs and people (very friendly). We take him to a dog park every time we have off of work to ensure interaction with other dogs. He also has plenty of toys and really likes balls. *Comes with toys, bed, crate, container of food, bowls, and treats (all optional).

Story
Koda is 7 months old and a great family dog. He is wonderful with children and very playful. We got him when he was 8 weeks old but due to our busy work schedules he spends a lot of time in his kennel. We our hoping someone with a large yard can adopt him so he has the room he deserves to run and play.
