Story
We love a good comeback story, and this guy is the definition of the comeback kid! 💪 Last week we shared our old man Dexter, a ten year old Dutch Shepherd who we’d recently taken in. We became aware of Dexter a few weeks ago after one of our vet friends reached out asking if we could help him. Dex was in bad shape and she knew he needed our help. When Dexter arrived to his foster home, our hearts literally shattered. Bad shape really was an understatement - he was severely underweight, missing fur, covered in bloody sores, one of his ears had curled down to half its size due to infection, and his spirit was quite literally broken. He was just a shell of a dog, but we knew we could get him fixed up in time. After only a day with us we started to get glimpses of the real Dexter - the Dexter who doesn’t spend his entire life in a crate, the Dexter who is loved and cared for, the Dexter we knew he could be. We have thrown every possible resource his way, and he truly is a different dog now. He is still on his healing journey - his skin has a ways to go and he still needs to gain about 10lbs - but he is LIGHTYEARS better than he was when we first met him. And so much of that is thanks to the generous donations from our L4P family!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Dex is a very typical Dutch Shepherd and please do not let his age fool you into thinking he’s just an old boy. He absolutely needs a family with experience with Dutchies, Mals, or other high energy, high drive working breeds. Dexter is not the dog for a first time dog owner, and we are in no rush to place him until we find the perfect family for him. He would do best as an only dog unless his family has the ability to give him individual attention. He is not a big fan of small children, but would be fine with late elementary school aged kids or older. Absolutely no cats or other small prey-like animals. Dexter is neutered, up to date on vaccines, microchipped and Heartworm negative. He is fostered in Parrish, Florida and his adoption fee is $250. If you think you might be the right family for our comeback kid, please complete an adoption application at the link below or email us at info@love4pawsfl.org! https://www.love4pawsfl.org/adoption-process

Story
Calling all foster or foster to adopt friends! This handsome guy needs a loving home to blossom. Do we have any takers out there? Duke cannot be in a home with a small dog. Duke is an 8yr old neutered Dutch Shepherd, medium to high drive, friendly with all people, basic commands in German, non reactive to dogs, reduced adoption fee. For more up to date information on this dog please go to our website @ https://www.playk9rescue.org/adopt-a-dog The adoption fee for this pet covers the cost of care and training which may have been for several weeks or several months depending on the health and training needs. The fee also covers all vet bills during this time to ensure his/her health is improved or maintained and provides you with assurance that this dog has been well cared for while in our possession and evaluated to meet your home's needs. Included in this fee is also life- long training support provided by PLAY! K9 Academy located in Bradenton, FL as well as Life time microchip registration. When you adopt from a local shelter, you may not receive any medical history for this dog nor will you receive any behavioral history. We hope you understand that the minimal adoption fee we are asking is to continue our mission to rescue unwanted herding and working breeds from shelters/owners and get them adopted to their forever home. Please note, we will not approve an adoption to individuals or families residing in rental apartments. Typically, apartment complexes have pet policies on restricted breeds and weights which includes German Shepherd Dogs, Dutch Shepherds, Belgian Malinois, bully breeds, etc. These dog breeds are not breeds that will thrive in an apartment setting regardless of the management pet policy. Our adoption policy is non-negotiable.

Story
4yr old Daisy is looking for a new home! No fault to her own just do not have the time she requires. Very energetic and playful! Wonderful manners in her crate and on/off leash but is not house trained. This ball of energy needs lots of exercise and will need to be socialized with new people and animals. She does live on a working farm around horses, cows, and chickens so she is used to a busy environment. Currently same gender aggressive and has a very high prey drive so she would do best in a single pet home for now. Easy to groom and handle, she is a lovebug who just needs some extra time spent with her. Picture is her(smaller) and her brother.

4yr old Bear is up for rehoming! No fault of his own, just needs more time spent with him. Crated trained, easy to groom, and has good manners on/off leash but is not house trained. Will need socialization with new people and animals, he does live on a working farm with horses, cows, and chickens so he is used to a fast-paced environment. Same gender aggressive currently and has a high prey drive so a single pet household would be a better fit for him at first. Sweet and cuddly but loves playing fetch, he'll be happy with whatever his person is doing!

Story
4yr old Blue is ready for a new home! No fault of his own just needs more time spent with him. What a people pleaser! He's a huge goofball and cuddler who loves playing fetch. Very well manned in cage and on/off leash but is not house trained. Lives on a working farm around horses, cows and chickens so he's used to a busy environment but still has a prey drive. Will need socialization with strangers and other animals so a single pet home would be best at first. While he doesn't need someone with experience with the breed he does have aggression with the same gender dogs and will need someone who can work with him on that and give him plenty of exercise.

4yr old Trigger is looking for his new home! Sweet and well mannered boy who loves to run and play! Not house trained and has some accidents in crate occasionally but is good in it otherwise and walks good on/off leash. Lives on working farm with horses, cows and chickens so is used to the fast pace but still has a prey drive. Same gender aggressive and a little more shy than his siblings he'll need someone to take the time to socialize him and continue his training. Single pet household is preferred at first.

Story
Gorgeous girl looking for an active partner. I am currently looking to settle down with my life partner. I am a smart girl who knows what she wants, I love to exercise and catch frisbees so another fitness nut would be ideal. I love long walks and exercise but then love to chill and cuddle on the couch. I am playful and loving and an all around good catch! I am a 2-year-old Dutch shepherd mix.  Pickles enjoys playing with dogs her size and larger but does not do well with cats or small dogs. She does best with calmer dogs as she is a high energy dog and will need continued socialization and training.  She will make a wonderful addition for a lucky active family with older kids because of her energy! Pickles's adoption fee is $350 and includes her spay, vaccinations, and microchip. If you want to meet Pickles fill out an adoption application at www.pawprinthearts.com.January 15, 2025, 12:37 am

Story
Although she is somewhat shy with strangers, Mieli has been coming out of her shell as she experiences new people and places. She is progressing consistently meeting new people as long as it's done calmly and slowly. This brindle beauty is eight years young and loves long walks, enjoying quieter places without lots of activity and commotion. Although she walks well on leash, it is suggested to use a harness which gives her added security and also helps the handler with any potential pulling. She adores car rides and soft music and would make a great long-distance traveler. She is very food motivated and is learning to sit patiently as she shows off her silly one sided smile anticipating that special treat. Once she trusts you, she will be a faithful companion and will adore snuggling up by your side and getting tummy rubs. She loves to watch you with her soulful eyes and the tip of her tail moves joyously when you speak to her. If you are interested in meeting Meili and watching the light beam from her eyes, please fill out an adoption application (no commitment) at Satchelslastresort.org.
