Story
Fritz is getting settled in with his foster family. More information to come. We hope to see his personality emerge soon! The adoption fee for this pet covers the cost of care which may have been for several weeks or several months depending on the health and other 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.

Story
🎀 Quinn 🎀 This sweet red Goldendoodle was surrendered to us by a breeder after spending the first half of her life in an outdoor kennel. At first, she was absolutely terrified—she had no idea how to walk on a leash and had likely never lived in a home before. Since then, she has blossomed into a happy, affectionate girl with a whole lot of personality 💕 Have you ever had a dog who smiles? 😄 If you say “Quinnniiieeee!!!” really obnoxiously, she will wiggle and smile at you with her teeth 😂 It’s very affectionate and she does it when she’s excited to see her foster mom or when she doesn’t want to come inside, lol. At home, Quinn is playful, loving, calm, and very well behaved. She LOVES chasing the other dogs in the yard and is happiest when she’s with her pack. You’ll usually find her sleeping glued to another dog, but if you get up in the middle of the night, you’ll hear her tail beating as she hopes you’ll come love on her 🩷 She may even greet you at your side of the bed with a kiss. Once Quinn bonds with you, she bonds deeply—she will follow her person from room to room and just wants to be near the human she trusts. She absolutely adores her foster mama. While Quinn is wonderful at home, she is still very scared out in the world. She is extremely shy at first and slow to trust new people and new environments. She is submissive, gentle, and wouldn’t hurt a fly—but new situations can be overwhelming for her. In public, Quinn can be “flighty,” so she wears an escape-proof harness as she will try to back out if frightened. Sometimes will actively try to get away when trying to take her somewhere, so her adopter needs to be savvy with keeping dogs safe and able to lift 50lbs. Because Quinn is very settled into her foster home, she will need a very patient, understanding adopter who is willing to meet with her a few times prior to adoption to help build trust and allow her to adjust at her own pace. She’s not a dog who can just be adopted on the first visit. Quinn also has a manageable medical need. She eats Royal Canin Low Fat Gastrointestinal food, takes generic Pepcid twice daily, and receives daily probiotics (purina fortiflora). She experiences acid reflux related to some tracheal irritation that occurred during intubation for her spay surgery. She has been fully evaluated at the UF Small Animal Hospital in Gainesville, and no further treatment is needed—her condition is well managed with her current routine. MUST HAVES: Quinn must have another dog that will play with her, a fenced yard, and a calm, adult-only home (no kids). She would love to join a pack, but one compatible canine best friend could be just fine if she clicks. If you have 2+ dogs, even better! She is a very sensitive girl and will absolutely let us know where she feels safe and happy 🙂 *This is a very transparent bio, but we don't mean for it to sound scary. She's an awesome, playful, easy dog to care for at home, but is a dog who would escape if the right tools aren’t used. Quinn is about 50 lbs and 5.5 years old. She’s spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and heartworm negative. She is located in Odessa (Tampa area), and her adoption fee is $300. ➡️ www.love4pawsfl.org/adopt

Story
*****PLEASE READ ENTIRELY BEFORE APPLYING***** Our very special, Millie 🩷 This sweet English Cream Golden Retriever is looking for a special, experienced home. She is NOT a "normal golden retriever" that you can take everywhere with you. Please read. Last fall, Millie was dumped in the woods, most likely by a breeder and very unsocialized. For 2+ months, experienced dog trappers tried to catch Millie and she just evaded everything. She survived both hurricanes alone in the woods and without any shelter 💔 Thankfully, she eventually got stuck in someone’s yard and was able to be captured in November - it was a miracle! This poor girl was full of fleas, ticks and heartworm positive. She has now been in a foster home since, was spayed and completed heartworm treatment! ❤️‍🩹 Millie LOVES dogs and can’t spend one minute without them. You can always find her glued to another dog or blending into a pack hoping that she’s invisible to humans. There isn’t one single dog that Millie wouldn’t like and she would actually love doggy daycare. She is very playful with other dogs and is truly a wonderful girl who is house trained, crate trained, very food motivated, very submissive and would never do a thing wrong. However, she wants nothing to do with humans. She doesn't want to be near you, is fearful when you approach or corner her and the slightest noise can send her into a complete panic. So, we are looking for a savvy home. Someone very experienced and someone who "gets it" and will follow our instructions to a T with keeping her safe. If she escapes, she will likely never be caught. Basic criteria: ✔️ She ideally needs a home with 2+ large dogs. She's most comfortable in a pack and we don't feel that one dog will be enough for her. However, if you are a very secure, helicopter dog parent with just 1 dog, please reach out. She needs a playful bestie though. ✔️ She would likely be cat friendly ✔️ Must have a securely 6ft fenced yard. She can jump a shorter fence. ✔️ No children or frequently visiting kids Most important criteria: ✔️ Someone who NEVER lets their dog off leash, never uses retractable leashes and whose dog never slips out the front door. We need a paranoid helicopter parent who doesn't think it's safe to let their dog run out the front door off leash or be off leash anywhere at all. She is not for a first time dog owner. She needs to stay as close to Tampa as possible, but no more than an hour away. If you feel that you could be a potential forever home for her, please complete an application and email us with a little more about you at info@love4pawsfl.org. Millie is in Odessa (Tampa) and her adoption fee is $400. She is about 60lbs, 2 years old, spayed, vaccinated, microchipped and heartworm negative. ➡️ Application: www.love4pawsfl.org/adopt

Meet Rocky! 🐕 This adorable 7-month-old male Goldendoodle is looking for his forever home 💛 He’s a super playful, and a VERY energetic happy pup who LOVES to roughhouse and make new dog friends. If you’ve got another dog at home, even better - he would thrive with a buddy to play with. ✨ About him: • Full of energy and always ready for fun • Potty trained on a schedule • Still learning leash skills (he gets very excited to meet new friends 🐕) • Knows basic commands: sit, come, paw • Will follow on leash when treats are involved (smart boy!) 🏡 Ideal home: • Someone that’s home often and ready to invest time in training • A fenced yard to run and play • Frequent walks and trips to the dog park • Another playful dog companion is a huge plus! 💤 And after all that play? He turns into the sweetest cuddle bug. He loves to snuggle up in bed and will happily fall asleep right in your arms—he just wants to be close to his person ❤️ ⏩️⏩️ We want to be clear - he is amazing, blonde and beautiful - but he is going to be big and needs training. He needs an owner dedicated to working with him. He is only 45lbs now, but tall with huge paws. Rocky is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and heartworm negative. His adoption fee is $600 and he is in St. Petersburg. 🐕 Apply: www.love4pawsfl.org/adopt 🐕 Email: info@love4pawsfl.org if you have an application on file.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Feeling Lucky? Meet Casino — “Cassie” for short!   Just in time for St. Patrick’s Day, this little lady might be your lucky charm! Casino (aka Cassie) is an estimated 8-week-old, 8-lb bundle of sweetness who is ready to hit the jackpot with her forever family.   Cassie is a beautiful cream-colored pup with touches of white, and we suspect she may be a Golden Retriever / Australian Shepherd mix—which could explain both her stunning looks and her bright mind. She already seems super smart, gentle-natured, and eager to connect with people, the kind of puppy who melts right into your heart.   Like any good underdog story, Cassie’s start hasn’t been perfect. She came to rescue with a skin condition due to previous neglect, but she’s already on the road to recovery and we expect her coat to improve beautifully with the love and care she deserves. Her sweet spirit has never dimmed.   Cassie has received her first round of puppy vaccines and will still need two additional vaccine rounds, plus her spay, rabies vaccine, and microchip when she’s old enough, all arranged through the rescue and covered by the adoption fee.   If you’re ready to bet on a puppy with a heart of gold, Cassie might just be your winning hand.   Apply at 4Luckydogs.org—and we think whoever adopts her will be the luckiest of all.   Located in Brandon   Ready to roll the dice on love? Cassie is waiting!Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.April 8, 2026, 11:33 pm
