Story
Wilbur's a great dog- a really great dog: he's friendly and house-trained (goes to the door when he wants out to potty and goes to his bowl when he wants to eat). Wilbur had to have had an owner prior to ending up at our city's packed shelter, Animal Services. He arrived at the shelter, confused, sad, yet fat, neutered and trained- someone had have him, yet no one went to reclaim him. Perhaps his owner passed away? Or put him out due to some extreme life circumstance? We'll probably never know why or how Wilbur lost his home... but however it happened, it was clearly through no fault of his own. This rescue firmly believes that 'pets are for life,' and we want Wilbur's new adoptive owner to believe and live that too. Think you can give Wilbur a great home? Then reach out to schedule a phone chat, meet and greet, and hopefully an adoption. Respond via this listing or you may text me to schedule a phone chat at 502-309-4155. Also, Wilbur's working on losing some weight, he, like all dogs, needs a daily walk. He could even be a great first dog for someone since he's an 'easy dog.' Thank You, Jessica Owner and Primary Pet Caregiver for Paw and Feather Plan Inc

Story
Harley is a loving 5-year-old German Shepard. We got him at 3 months old and we've enjoyed having him as a part of the family. Due to our living circumstances and a newborn, we're looking to rehome Harley to a family that will love him as much as we do. Like any GS, Harley is energetic and loves to play around. He's obsessed with peanut butter and enjoys being cuddled by family and strangers alike. Ideally, we're looking for a home with no kids, preferably a couple with a backyard for Harley to run and get all the zoomies out.

Hi! My name is Mac, Short for Mackenzie 🐾 I am looking for my Furrever home! I am hoping to find someone to give all my time love and devotion to. I am a very fun and energetic dog who just wants to smother you with kisses! I love to run and be active so it would be ideal for me to be in a bigger space! I would make a great companion as i am protective of those around me. I am a little reactive, but nothing training cant fix! Reactiveness runs in my breed 💜 I also love to sleep in bathrooms 🐾

Story
My Fiancé and I adopted Joker from Miami Dade shelter in 2022, in attempt to give him a loving home after he was found wandering the streets with his brother and eventually seperated. He was said to be around 6yrs old, which would make him 9. We have a 2.5yr old daughter and in the process of moving and unfortunately we are not able to take him with us. Joker is the sweetest and very calm; He is down for anything; whether it’s relaxing inside all day or going on long walks at the beach. He loves other dogs, children and good with cats. We have never felt that he has been a danger to other pets or humans despite the reputation that this breed has. He is house broken so you don’t have to worry about training him to go outside. He protects his family and his home. We pray to find Joker a loving home to live his remaining years in peace. 🩶

Story
We adopted Stitch in a shelter when he was just a few months old. He's about 5 now. Right when we got him home we realized he was not only already house trained but would also respond to some basic voice commands. My son was able to get him to roll over and do other tricks as well. Stitch is very active and playful. He loves going for walks, running, playing with kids, or just lay down enjoying the sun. He's healthy and never had any medical issue. Like most pets, he can get pretty excited with other dogs or cats when first meet them, but after a few minutes get along pretty well. Life circumstances are forcing me to make some changes and one of them is to find a new family for Stitch. For instance, these days he's spending a lot of time home alone without attention. Please help me to get him a nice new home.
