Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained,

Story

Bingo was born on February 24, 2023, and we’ve had him since he was a puppy. He has grown into a very affectionate, playful, and energetic dog who loves being around people. One of his favorite things to do is run and explore outdoors, especially when he can chase rabbits or play freely. Bingo enjoys attention, learns quickly, and thrives when he feels included as part of the family. He has a sweet, loyal personality and brings a lot of joy to anyone who spends time with him. We are looking for a new home for Bingo because our baby has developed severe allergies, and despite how much we love him, we can no longer keep him. We want him to go to a responsible family who can give him the space, love, and activity he deserves. He would do especially well in a home with a yard or an active person who enjoys spending time outdoors. Bingo is truly a wonderful dog, and he deserves a family who will cherish him

Story

Princess is a stunning 50-pound Catahoula-Pit mix with a lean, medium build. She is incredibly loving and loyal, with a goofy, playful personality that will keep you smiling every day. Despite her sweet nature, Princess carries some scars from her past, which make her cautious and a bit skittish around certain people. Because she struggles with sudden movements, Princess would do best in a home without cats or small children. What she truly needs is a patient, understanding person who can give her the time, space, and reassurance she deserves to feel safe and build trust. Once she lets you into her heart, you will have a devoted best friend and a truly special companion for life.

Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Hey friends, it’s me Curtis! I’m a 10-year-old, 10 lb Shih Tzu mix boy with a heart full of love and a zest for life! Here’s my story! I found myself at a local shelter, but Florida Coastal Cocker Rescue scooped me up, got me fixed up, and now I’m ready for my forever home! I’m a super sweet guy who gets along great with both dogs and cats—the more the merrier! I’m housebroken, did great in a crate, and I love going for walks. Honestly, I’d prefer to be outside enjoying the fresh air as much as possible because there’s just something magical about being outdoors! At night, I sleep on my dog bed right beside my human because being close to you is where I feel most at home. I can be cuddly sometimes, and I’m gentle and easygoing. I have no teeth, so treats really aren’t my thing. But don’t worry—I’m a great eater and I love my wet food watered down into a nice, easy-to-eat meal! I’m probably good with older, dog-savvy kids who understand how to be gentle with a sweet senior like me. Speaking of being a senior—adopting a senior dog like me means you get all the love without the puppy chaos! I’m calm, well-mannered, and I know what really matters in life: walks, fresh air, and quality time with my favorite person. Senior dogs have so much love left to give! If you’re looking for a calm, loving companion who enjoys the simple pleasures of life and will be grateful for every moment with you, I’m your guy! Visit www.floridacockerrescue.org to apply!
