Story
Do you see this sweet face? How can you resist her? Brownie is looking for her forever home! She’s approximately 7-year-old Staffordshire mix and was originally rescued with her seven puppies. She was an incredible mama to her litter, who have all been adopted. She is a mellow girl, so appreciative of snuggles, and just happy to be near those who reciprocate her love. Brownie is house trained and learns quickly. She LOVES walks. Brownie loves to be near her humans, cuddling with them any chance she can. Brownie’s been through enough and has always cared for others—she’s ready to be spoiled and have a family all to herself. However, if you’re interested in adopting her and you have other pets, she would do best living with calm dogs. If you are interested in adopting this sweet girl, please reach out! She’s ready for you! Fenced in yard is a must. Must be experienced with the breed. https://www.pawliferescuegroup.org/adoptable-pets/brownie

Story
Meet lovely, sweet Rose! She is such an affectionate, grateful, and happy girl. She loves playing fetch and she would have a toy in her mouth 24/7 if she could! She has the perfect pup smile and lights up any time you give her a head rub or pick up a toy to play with her. She would love a fenced in yard where she can run and play fetch with you. She loves going for walks and car rides. Sweet Rose loves to cuddle with humans and Iris on the couch (they might even lay on each other to get closer to you). She’s interested in cats but may scare them due to her excited nature. Meet beautiful Iris! She has a sweet, gentle nature and loves to play and wrestle with Rose. Iris needs a patient, understanding home with a predictable routine. She can be a little skittish in new or unfamiliar environments, but she has shown that she warms up to people rather quickly. She has the most expressive eyes and the cutest deer-tail (her little, excited tail wiggles are the best). She’s incredibly intelligent and learns quickly; she’d benefit from constant enrichment to build her confidence. Sometimes she’ll pick up a toy, look directly at Rose, and then run away, all because she wants Rose’s attention. She is potty trained, good with other dogs, and OK with cats. Iris would do best in a home with no small children. Adoption fee is for both dogs. https://www.pawliferescuegroup.org/adoptable-pets/iris-rose Please visit our website for more information on the foster/adoption process. https://www.pawliferescuegroup.org/adoption-resources Located in Pinellas County, Florida.
