Story
Nellie is a gorgeous girl. She is approximately 4 years old. She is spayed, up to date on all vaccines and preventions. She weighs about 50 pounds. Nellie came to us when her owner was arrested for running a drug house. She, along with 16 other dogs in the home, were sent to the county shelter. They all showed signs of neglect and the owner was additionally charged with cruelty to animals. Nellie is a bit unsocialized. She's shy and timid. She hasn't had a good life up until now. She lived most of her life in a crate in the garage of this tiny house. Nellie is a sweet girl who has been enjoying life in a real home with all the things a dog should. Soft blankets, bones to chew, quality food, warm beds and plenty of friends. To make Nellie's new home a success, these are her requirements - another playful, confident dog in the home - no children under 12 - fenced in yard - Patient adopter * Nellie is not housebroken, as she has lived most of her life in a crate. Nellie will need a patient and kind adopter to help her adjust to life living in a home as part of a family. Nellie is a sweet and gentle soul who has a whole life ahead of her with so much love to give Located in Spring Hill. Travel time should not exceed approximately 1.5 hours ****EMAIL INQUIRIES ONLY *****

Story
Eve is a special girl looking for a special adopter. Eve came to us after being found as a stray and in rough shape. Eve has clearly birthed a lot of litters in her life and hasn't been shown the best care. She seems to have never known the comforts of the inside of a home, but she is slowly learning and starting to enjoy the finer things in life. Eve is estimated to be between 4 and 7 years old. She's still a little underweight at 65 pounds, but we're working on that. She is spayed, up to date on all vaccines and preventions and heartworm negative. Eve is looking for an adopter with a lot of patience and compassion. Eve did not come from a great place and is very hand shy, especially around her head. She will need slow introductions and food is always helpful. Once she trusts you, and it doesn't take long, she does so wholeheartedly. She is a very sweet and loving girl. Eve has most likely never lived inside a home. She is not housebroken. She is doing well, and will do well, with a consistent and regular routine and schedule. She is also learning about a crate and is doing well with that. She also has finally started using dog beds and has picked a few favorites. Eve is dog friendly. Although her social skills aren't the best, she tends to be a little jumpy with other dogs in an effort to play, and she doesn't understand personal space with other dogs. She's had zero negative reactions with other dogs, even when they haven't been fans of her approach. She would do best with tolerant, submissive dogs that won't hurt her. Eve herself is not a well bred rottie and there are some things that will seem off about her. Her tongue will hang out. She doesn't seem "right", but she does get things with consistency and patience. She has learned to sit very nicely for her meals. Eve is a sweet girl, who is ready to be shown a life that she's missed out on. * we are recommending children be 12 and older for Eve * fenced in yard preferred as she is still a bit unfamiliar with a leash * travel time for adoption not to exceed 1.5 hours from Spring Hill (34610) ** PLEASE EMAIL ALL INQUIRIES DIRECTLY TO LOVETOTHERESCUEINC@GMAIL.COM **

Story
Uncle Ted is estimated to be 12 years old, he's everything bit of that and maybe more. He weighs about 60 pounds, is neutered, up to date on all vaccines and preventions and is heartworm negative. He's housebroken and a complete joy. Uncle Ted is looking for a new beginning for the end of his life. He's a sweet old man with an amazing disposition and outlook on life. Uncle Ted loves people and REALLY loves other dogs. He's not the typical senior, who just wants to sit back and watch the world go by, rather Uncle Ted loves to get into the mix of things and can be frequently found trying to keep up with the younger group in the home. Thankfully, he's found a few that can "wrestle" gently with a fragile old man. Uncle Ted has no idea he's a senior!! And he would love other playful friends as long as they won't hurt him Uncle Ted has end stage arthritis and is currently in 2 different medications, librela injections and joint supplements. His gait is stiff and gimpy, giving him the appearance that he's had too many, so we lovingly refer to him as a Boozehound or Drunkweiler. Uncle Ted is THAT fun Uncle that you love seeing on holidays!!

Story
Wilbur is estimated to be about 13 years old and weighs about 55 pounds. He's neutered, up to date on all vaccines and preventions and heartworm negative. He has beautiful house manners and walks nicely on a leash. Wilbur was adopted from our county shelter about a year ago and was left to live in a box under a porch. His skin was in terrible shape, eyes were horribly infected and he was in very sad condition. A welfare check had been performed and his owners reached out to us and asked if they could surrender. We jumped right in and said yes!! Wilbur was missing most of the hair on his back. We got him straight to the vet and through a lot of meds, supplements and baths, Wilbur's skin is looking and feeling much better! And his hair is growing back. Wilbur is a sweet, calm old man who's favorite activity is napping. He makes an amazing lap dog and is super friendly with everyone he meets. Wilbur is dog friendly, preferring calm, submissive dogs like himself. Cats are unknown. Wilbur enjoys chewing bones, sunbathing and cuddling. Older children would be preferred for sweet Wilbur. Wilbur is looking for his forever retirement home, one that will not only loves him, but keep him healthy. Wilbur's skin will likely require maintenance going forward but the hard part is done!! Don't miss out on this sweet, sweet boy ***EMAIL INQUIRIES DIRECTLY TO LOVETOTHERESCUEINC@GMAIL.COM *** travel time for adoption should not exceed 1.5 hours from Spring Hill, 34610

Story
Hello there, I'm Bella! I'm young, full of life, and always ready for a game of fetch. My days are filled with boundless energy and a curiosity that never ends. I love exploring new toys, smells, and sounds. I'm also fiercely loyal. Once I make a friend, they're a friend for life. My independent spirit means I'm just as happy exploring on my own as I am playing with my sister Daisy who is also available for adoption. But don't let that fool you, I'm a real sweetheart. I love cuddles and giving kisses. You'll never find a happier dog than me. I'm always wagging my tail, ready for the next adventure. Adopting me means gaining a loyal, energetic, and loving companion who'll always be there to brighten your day.
