Story
Ike is a very sweet and smart boy. My brother adopted Ike in April 2022 when he was approximately 1 year old. Unfortunately my brother was diagnosed with Alzheimers and can no longer take care of the dog. Ike went to Country Lakes Animal Clinic, last visit on 04/30/2024. All shots up to date. Ike is super playful, smart and very sweet. When I visited my brother with my 2 dogs they all played and got along great. There is no cat in the house so I've never seen Ike interact with a cat. Ike is house trained, leash trained and crate trained. Ike wasn't taught basic commands but he's really smart and picks up on "sit" and "stay" easily. When people come over to the house Ike is social and very polite. Everyone comments on what a sweet dog he is and how well behaved he is. The perfect home for Ike - he likes to play, go for walks and maybe to the dog park. He enjoys being around people and squeeky toys!

Story
Meet Russ, a charming canine on a quest to find his FUR-ever home. Discovered at a park in Ponce, Puerto Rico, Russ's story unfolds with a tale of abandonment, evident in his longing gaze. Despite being left behind a month ago from when we found him, Russ carries himself with the grace of a once-loved companion. At around 3 years old and a sturdy 30 pounds, Russ is a picture of canine elegance, displaying the distinctive traits of a brown Carolina Dog mix. His manners are impeccable – he's mastered the art of leash walking and delights in staying close to his human companions. Russ is not just a pretty face; he's a well-rounded pup. Neutered, up-to-date on vaccines, and heartworm negative, he's in tip-top health and ready to bring joy to a loving family. His good-natured spirit extends to children and other dogs, making him a versatile addition to any household. With a love for the great outdoors, Russ dreams of a big yard or even a farm to explore and call his own. If you're seeking a loyal companion to share your adventures, consider making Russ a part of your family. Adopt Russ, and let the journey of unconditional love and companionship begin – because every dog deserves a FUR-ever home.

Satos (pronounced with a short A) are a type of dog rather then a breed.  The name is Puerto Rican slang for “street dog,” but they are also known as Puerto Rican Found Dogs in the U.S. They are the homeless dogs, or urban free-ranging dogs, that live in Puerto Rican cities. Satos are small to medium dogs, usually not more than 35-40lbs. They have large ears that flop, long snouts and legs that seem just a tiny bit too short for their bodies. Their fur varies from a short thick coat to longer, feathery details on the tail and ears. They come in every color imaginable.  November 2, 2024, 11:51 am

Story
Meet Marley, an 8-month-old mini Lab mix with a big personality packed into her 20-pound frame! This sweet girl, originally from the Bahamas, is a "potcake"—a special name for the amazing dogs from the islands. Marley is expected to be 25–30 pounds when fully grown, making her the perfect size for snuggles and adventures alike. Marley is a smart and loving pup who’s leash trained, crate trained, and housebroken. She absolutely adores kids and thrives in a family environment. However, Marley would do best as the only dog in the household, as she prefers to have her humans (and their attention!) all to herself. She’s looking for a family who can give her the love, structure, and one-on-one time she craves. Marley has so much love to give, and she’s ready to become your loyal companion. If you’re ready to open your heart and home to this island treasure, come meet Marley and see why potcakes are so special! &#226&#157&#164&#239&#184&#143 To meet Marley, please fill out an application:  https://form.jotform.com/91758283848171 December 5, 2024, 1:22 pm

Story
 Meet the Valentines Litter!  Say hello to Rose, Candy, Juliet, Honey, Cupid, Eros, and Beau—a lovable group of 7 puppies who are as sweet as their names suggest! These adorable 3-month-old mixed-breed pups were rescued from living in squalor in Puerto Rico and are now safe, healthy, and ready to find their forever homes. Each pup is playful, affectionate, and full of puppy energy! They’ll thrive in loving homes that can provide them with plenty of attention, training, and, of course, cuddles. Their mom is about 30 pounds, so they’re expected to stay on the smaller side when fully grown. These pups are great with kids and other dogs and cats, making them the perfect addition to any family.  Are you ready to fall in love? Apply to adopt one of these Valentine sweethearts today and give them the forever home they deserve!  To meet one of these cuties, please fill out an adoption application:  https://form.jotform.com/91758283848171 January 28, 2025, 3:36 pm
