Story

Hi there, I’m Phoebe! I’m 15 years old, 25 pounds, and a gentle soul looking for a patient and understanding forever home. I thrive in calm and quiet environments, and I’d do best with one or two older women who can provide me the time and space I need to feel safe. I’m a shy girl, and it may take me weeks—sometimes months—to come out of hiding willingly. With love and patience, I’ll start to follow you around and keep an eye on where you are. I’ve made great progress in my foster home, but I’ll need someone experienced and willing to help me continue to build my confidence. A few things to know about me: Men make me nervous: I’m not comfortable around men and may react strongly to them, so I need a home where this can be managed. I’m vocal: While I love to let my voice be heard, my foster mom has worked with me, and I’m learning to quiet down after a reminder or two. I’m house trained: I know my manners and enjoy being part of a peaceful household. I’m independent yet affectionate: Once I trust you, I’ll happily share my gentle heart and enjoy cuddles by your side. My favorite activities include lounging in my cozy bed, keeping close to my foster grandma, and exploring the backyard at my own pace. I’m searching for someone special who understands that good things take time. If you’re ready to open your heart to a quiet, loving companion who just needs a little patience, I might be the perfect match for you. If you know that I am your forever pup, please fill out an adoption application at https://daretorescue.org/adoption-application. Don't forget to put my NAME on your application!If you cannot adopt me but would like to help DARE pay for my care before I am adopted by my forever family, donate online at https://daretorescue.org/donation or send a check made payable to DARE to:DAREPO Box 21161Tampa, FL 32210 Even if you do not see a dog that matches what you're looking for, you may fill out a no obligation application at https://daretorescue.org/adoption-application and we will work to find a match for you. We receive dogs into foster care frequently, so it is impossible to have every available or soon-to-be-available dog on the website.October 20, 2025, 10:02 am

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

I got her in New Mexico with my boyfriend at the time, when she was eight weeks old. then three months later I had to pack everything up and move back to Florida with my mom due to domestic abuse. I tried to keep her but I'm unable to keep her any longer. My mom's German Shepherd doesn't like her and we've tried to get them use to each other. but nothing has helped. its hard to keep them separated, and unfair that one or the other has to be locked up while the other is out. She needs a home that she can be out and able to play with either other dogs or kids. I'm unable to give her what she needs at the time and just want a good home that can give her what she needs. She's ten months old, and is very sweet, hyper, and playful. she does well with kids, cats, and other dogs. she loves walks and being able to run. She's doesn't like water, due to not being around it much. She loves to cuddle and sleep next to her person at the end of the bed.

Story

Chulo is an extremely friendly puppy, potty trained and Knows some tricks like sit, down, and spin! He really loves people and other pets! He is only 8 months old. He needs a larger home with a family, and other dogs. He already lives with 6 cats and he loves every single one of them! He is great with kids. He jumps on people with joy because he’s always so excited to see others! I really don’t want to send him to a shelter, our home and family is just too small and he has so much energy. He is not neutered, and he has not been to the vet. Our family took him in and fostered him for a few months because his mom was a rescue from one of our friends and he was going to go to a shelter. Our time with him is up now, and he needs a new home.

Story

This dogs original owner was the boyfriend of my daughter. Unfortunately, he passed away unexpectedly in a tragic event. The dog was rehomed to his parents house, but they could not maintain and take care of the dog. Therefore, my daughter brought the dog to my house. We have a large family and two dogs of our own to care for already. They are older and a lot smaller than this dog and we dont have the finances or space to properly take care of a dog this size. The two dogs we own are Pugs and already require an abundance of medical costs and treatments. We feel bad because the dog is spending more time in a cage then outside one. We want to rehome the dog to an environment where it can receive the love and care it deserves. It is a sweet dog, very energetic, and requires a lot more attention than we can provide. Finding it a home will take a burden from our family that we did not expect to take on. We have already started house training the dog and teaching her obedience.

Tilly

American Pit Bull Terrier Labrador Retriever

Female, Young

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Tilly is an 11-month-old Lab/Pit mix with tons of energy and love to give. She is extremely loving and sweet with energy to last a lifetime. She has been a very sweet dog to our family, but she has more energy than we can accommodate with four children under 7. She loves to play outside and chew on her chewie toys. I have no doubt that the right person with the space and attention to give Tilly the life she deserves will find her, unfortunately we are just not able to give her that. We are heartbroken to see her go, but it is even sadder to keep her somewhere she will not be able to flourish the way she needs to.
