Story
Enzo is a 6yr old Dogo Argentino. We purchased him from a breeder in central FL. He is very large, even for his breed (~145lbs). He has had training (including off leash) since a very young age and periodically gets "tune-ups" though it has been over a year since his last. His behavior is mostly calm and curious, you might even call it dopey at times. He is very smart and capable, he is also as stubborn as he is loyal lol. He is not an easy dog and I wouldn't recommend him to a beginner owner. In the right home, you will have a loving, loyal and fun (boxer like) companion. He is pretty easy to handle in public, usually a loose leash unless there is a cat around but even then, it's usually some light pulling. He is weary of strangers who come too close but can become quick friends with treats Unfortunately for us, he has not adjusted well to our toddler and his resource guarding behavior has become a safety issue. I think he would thrive in an active adult home with experienced owners.

Story
Hi, I'm Eloy, a big 92 lb. double pirate Dogo Argentino currently chilling in Tampa, FL with a heart full of love and some rough patches behind me. Mid-October, I was rescued from the countryside around Ft. Meade, FL, after a kind family found me wandering and took me in to make sure I was safe. I wasn’t in great shape—I could barely open my eyes because they hurt so much. Turns out, I had bilateral entropion, which meant my eyelids were causing me pain and damage. It got so bad I didn’t feel like eating. Thankfully, the vet rushed me in for surgery, and I’m already feeling so much better. I also found out I have heartworms, which wasn’t a surprise, but the good news is I’ve already started my treatment. It’ll be a few months of taking it easy, but I’m already on the road to recovery. Now that I’m safe and more comfortable at the farm kennels, my personality is starting to show. I’m around 5 to 6 years old, quick to learn, and I’m definitely a big fan of affection! Scratch my ears, rub my belly, and I’m a happy guy. I just started giving out kisses and showing off my big bear hugs, too! So far, I’ve been pretty calm around the other dogs at the kennel. I’m not looking for trouble like some do and, honestly, just taking my time getting used to everything while my body heals. My vision’s still a bit blurry, but it seems to be improving every day. I love my walks, mealtimes, and treats—and I keep my kennel neat and clean (unlike some of the other pups here, if you know what I mean). I’m expected to fully recover from my eye surgery and beat the heartworms, too, thanks to early treatment. Just six days after surgery, I’ve already got great energy! For the next few months, I need to keep it low-key as I heal, so I’d love a calm home where I can chill, go on walks, and explore a little. The team here thinks I might have been a hunter before because I perk up when I catch a whiff of wild boar! But mostly, I’m just your typical awesome Dogo Argentino looking for a place to call home. I have basic training and get along with older kids. If you think you could be that special foster or forever home for me, I’d love to meet you! Apply to adopt: dcdogos.org/adopt

**Hey There! I'm Liza: Your Future Comedic Companion!**  Also, I am the DC Dogos Rescue COVER MODEL for our 2025 Calendar! I will do autographs by request :) Hi, I’m Liza, and let me tell you, I’m one hilarious, young, and healthy gal! At just about a year old, currently in sunny Tampa, FL, I’m bursting with playful energy and, well, still learning my manners. But hey, who needs manners when you’re this cute? I’ve already mastered the art of giving you my paw for hotdogs or other tasty treats. I’m working on meeting new friends and, oh boy, am I smitten with Simon! He’s just as wild and fun as I am. My humans are helping me socialize with other dogs, and they think I’ll do great. They recently gave me this weird ball that makes noises – I kicked it around like a soccer pro! My zoomies, especially in the mornings, are a sight to behold. I’ll run straight at you and then punk you out at the last second! I’m super fast, so a yard would be perfect for me to stretch my legs. I need an active home that’s ready to keep up with my energy and help me with my training. I love going on leash walks now – I used to be like a fish out of water, but now I’m a dream to walk! My current humans think I’d be awesome at agility work. I’m athletic and would thrive with someone dedicated to my training. I’ve come a long way since they found me, and a dog friend would be great for me too. I have so much fun with Simon, and I’m sure I’d love another buddy just as much. When I first met men, I wasn’t a fan, but with some training and patience, I’ve started giving them kisses! That was a huge step for me, and I keep hitting new milestones every day. I’m pretty incredible, if I do say so myself. I was one of five dogs found dumped in Naples, FL, and the shelter picked us all up. We don’t know if we were from the same person or related, but I’m so grateful to have a second chance at life. My past is behind me, and I’m ready to start a new chapter with a loving family. So, if you’re looking for a playful, funny, and affectionate companion, I’m your girl. I can’t wait to meet you and make you laugh every day! Apply to adopt: dcdogos.org/adopt

Story
Meet Guin Some of you may remember the two sisters (Rory & Lorelai) from DeKalb County Shelter in Georgia who were once posted in search of foster homes. They came into the shelter as strays, both were emaciated and in a neglected state. Although no foster offers came through at the time, both girls were eventually adopted by the public. Recently, Lorelai now lovingly called Guin, was surrendered to us when it became clear she wasn’t the right fit for her adopter’s pack. Guin was the more reserved of the two sisters and often relied on her sibling for reassurance, so being without her was understandably difficult at first. She spent time in temporary boarding, where she was met with patience, kindness, and love. During that time, Guin began to decompress, settle in, and form a trusting bond with her caretaker. Shortly after, she transitioned into a loving foster home, and that’s when her transformation truly began. This beautiful girl has blossomed far faster than we ever imagined. Once shy and unsure, Guin is now a happy, increasingly confident dog who is coming into her own. Guin is thriving in her foster home, where her canine siblings have helped show her the ropes. She approaches new experiences with growing confidence, and her sweet personality shines brighter every day. Her foster parents adore watching her learn how to be a dog and genuinely enjoy life, she has a gentle, soulful heart. We estimate Guin to be around 3 years old. Guin has formed a special bond with her male Dogo foster brother and would do best in a home with another friendly dog, preferably a male. She’s wonderful with children, walks nicely on a leash, and is both house and crate-trained. Her history with cats is unknown. Guin is ready for her forever home, one where her soft heart and growing confidence can continue to flourish. 🐾 Apply to adopt: dcdogos.org/adopt Location: Loxahatchee, FL

Story
Meet Chloe – the sweetest little nugget! Born in a litter of five, Chloe was the only puppy born deaf, but that hasn’t slowed her down one bit. As of 11/22/25, she’s 9 weeks old and already showing the world just how smart, cuddly, and delightfully sassy she can be. Chloe currently lives with her brother and two kitty roommates, and she’s doing wonderfully with all of them. She’s confident, curious, and thrives on affection and routine. Because she is deaf, she’ll need a family dedicated to positive training methods and visual cues, she’s already proving how quickly she learns! We’re looking for a home with experience with deaf dogs or Dogos, so Chloe can continue growing into the amazing girl she’s meant to be. She is currently located in Clearwater, FL.  Adopters will be responsible for transport.  If you’re ready to add a special girl with a big personality and an even bigger heart to your family, Chloe may be the perfect match. 💗🐾 Apply to adopt: dcdogos.org/adopt Location: Clearwater, FL
