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.

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.

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.
