Story
Bunsen is the sweetest 1-year-old little man who loves cuddles, going to the dog park, and treats. He is up to date on vaccines, house-trained, and neutered. He is suspected to be an american staffordshire terrier mix and has no current health issues. He's genuinely a good boy, easy to train, and just needs to find his furever home. Bunsen gets along very well with dogs of any size, wants to snuggle any time of day, and be around his people. He loves his tough chew toys, playing tug of war (fetch is still in question), and walks very well on a leash. He will sometimes pull towards other dogs and people but has been responsive when training not to. He's pretty smart, can pick up new commands easily, and is overall just a lovely, active dog. I hope he finds a home filled with love and attention so that he can thrive as the best boy. Currently located in Tallahassee but willing to travel if it's meant to be!

Story
Dog lived with a single college student after being rescued as a pup. He was very active in all of his youth and needs to remain active. You have to have time to stimulate him with all of his tricks, give-him new ones if possible, and throw the ball for him or give him a job (eg. sniffing out something, protecting your farm with plenty of space to run). He's an adventure buddy or distinguished gentlemen who needs mental stimulation. Once he's attached to you, he wants to be at your feet. Keep his tummy full and his ball rolling and he'll be forever loyal to you. He currently knows, "sit""stay""down""paw""tunnel""rollover""speak""hop-up""big-boy jump(into tall vehicles)"catch""jump-catch" "wait" "turn(spin)" "speak""off" "find-it""jump" "get-em(chases birds at beach, squirrels for fun once given this command that he's allowed)" and more. He likes pup-cups, dog park visits, swimming in any body of water after a ball (careful with salt-water, he drinks it anyways).

Simba is a sweetheart of a dog that was gotten for my mom unfortunately she can no longer take care of him and I’m unable to either.

Story
Max is a sweet boy! He is two years old. We originally got max through our local Humane Society as a foster. We decided to adopt him, but now that we’ve added a couple more dogs to our family he is very anxious, more so than before. We truly believe Max was abused before he came to us. He’s very skittish, but very sweet. If he’s scared he often pees but overall he’s potty trained. We’ve literally only heard him bark a handful of times over the past few months and that was only when he needed to go out to potty. He does seem to have reoccurring ear infections. We were just at the vet about a month ago for antibiotics and he’s already needing to go back for more antibiotics. We have kids and he’s very gentle and loving to them. He knows how to sit, shake, spin, lay and paw.

Story
We found Ashe abandoned as a small puppy with her sister. While her sister was adopted, Ashe has yet to find her forever home. She's been with us for nine months and we love her as part of the family, but with another dog, cat, and toddler, our home is a little too hectic for this girlie. She would do best in a quiet home where her human can spend lots of time with her.

Story
Bruno has been a cherished part of our family since he was just 8 weeks old. Now fully house trained and crate trained, he’s an energetic pup who loves going for walks and hanging out with her teenage boys. He also enjoys going to doggy daycare, where he has lots of friends and thrives in a fun, social environment. Bruno is very food motivated, making training both enjoyable and effective—his standout trick is a cute roll-over on command! He’s also incredibly affectionate and loyal. Whether he’s snuggling next to you on the couch or burrowing under the covers at bedtime, he wants nothing more than to be your best friend. Recently, an incident resulted in a minor nip when a neighbor’s dog and Bruno exchanged some “trash talk.” Bruno will do best with a patient, responsible owner who can provide structure, continued training, and a safe, loving environment. Our greatest wish is for him to find a home where he can flourish—continuing to play, learn and share his big heart.
