**WE ONLY DO HOME VISITS FOR ADOPTIONS IN BROWARD & PALM BEACH COUNTIES** PLEASE READ HIS FULL BIO BEFORE APPLYING TO ADOPT Meet the charming Harrison, a happy 6 year-old, 7-pound bundle of love with a spirit that knows no bounds! Harrison's story is one of resilience and hope. Rescued by the compassionate folks at Get A Life, he's a special little dude looking for a kind and understanding human who can cater to his unique needs. Despite facing challenges, he remains a charmer with an irresistible personality. Harrison may identify as able-bodied, but his little back legs don't function as they should. However, he doesn't let that slow him down! With the help of his custom wheels, he enjoys his own transport and savors the joy of speeding around, feeling the humid breeze ruffling his silky hair. He is truly a master at living life to the fullest and has an endless supply of love and affection to offer his future human. This happy boy's journey hasn't been easy. After narrowly escaping a dire fate at a kill facility, he found safety and love in the arms of his rescuers. Harrison's lower lumbar paralysis necessitates manual bladder expression multiple times a day, but he handles it with grace and unwavering spirit. His bowel movement releases on its own, or with some assistance. When you understand his schedule he will have few accidents. He may have special needs, but he doesn't let them define him; he happily plays fetch and finds joy in every moment. Harrison's previous people did provide him with spinal surgery, but they neglected to offer the necessary rehabilitation. Thankfully, since then, he's received a range of therapies, including acupuncture, laser therapy, physical therapy, and aqua therapy. The dedicated specialists have trained his caregivers on continuing his therapy at home. Harrison shows signs of feeling in his paws and responds positively to the treatments, occasionally displaying strength to push up, even if he cannot stand. There's hope that with continued home therapy, he may even regain the ability to walk. While he is not currently seeing a specialist, he remains in loving hands that understand and cater to his unique needs. This absolutely adorable little guy may have wheels to zoom around the house and a heartwarming ability to win the hearts of everyone he meets. We're seeking a forever home for Harrison, where his monthly grooming, heartworm prevention, and daily health care and maintenance can be attended to. His adoption fee of $200 contributes towards his vetting, therapy, and rehabilitation. If you feel you can offer Harrison the love, care, and understanding he deserves, he'll repay you with endless kisses and a fantastic personality that will brighten your days. Embrace this remarkable spirit, and together, let's embark on a journey of love, joy, and the fulfillment of Harrison's potential. Check his VIDEO PLAYLIST . Please Like & Follow his FaceBook Page. If you are interested please fill out the adoption application For additional information regarding our adoption process, please check our FAQ's Page. WWW.GETALIFEPETRESCUE.COM  MORE INFO ON HARRISON: Harrison has a wonderful personality and is energetic despite his paralysis. Harrison is a joy but may seem like a lot of work, until you get used to his routine, he is not a burden. You need time, love, and patience. He needs his bladder expressed every 4-6 hours in the day but NOT AT NIGHT. YouTube videos on how to release his bladder Here is one technique https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G8kuOD2Iup4 We put him on the lawn or over a pee pad and bend over him standing. You need to keep your feet away from his stream if urine. Inevitably you will get wet from time to time.  Once you have your fingertips on each side of the bladder it will feel like a water balloon. Then press your fingers together until the urine is released. Then go back and reposition your fingers 3-4 times to find smaller balloons until the bladder is completely empty. He poops on his own, you will find poop in his bed or when he is excited he will release it. He is on supplements to help promote stimulation.  Harrison can't be crated or penned up because he will stress and he needs to scoot around without bruising his belly and legs. He loves his orthopedic bed with his toys on it. When you are home and he is active, he can be in his wheels but once he settles he needs to be in his drag bag that enables him to scoot around to follow you and then relax while you are doing household tasks. The dragbag protects his legs from getting scratched but it is not padded to protect him from bruising. He needs a calm groomer that will never leave him on the table because he will try to jump off.. He is fun and loves to meet people. If you have the time and finances to care for him long-term please give let me know.  We do home visits near Broward & Palm Beach Counties. In order to do an adoption and he will need several visits for you to get used to his needs. Harrison needs a couple of days of training and we would like to have his potential adopter care for him for a day to see if they are really dedicated to him. *All dogs in the care of Get a Life Pet Rescue live in loving foster homes while waiting for their perfect match. They don't live in cages or crates (unless there is a medical reason to do so.)

Story
**ALL ADOPTIONS INCLUDE A HOME VISIT. YOU MUST LIVE IN BROWARD & PALM BEACH COUNTIES** Meet Pico: A Gentle Soul Learning to Trust Sweet Pico is a shy little Yorkie Poodle mix with a tender heart and a quiet longing to feel safe. Life has taught him to be cautious, and when he’s unsure, his instinct is to tuck himself away. But give him a soft voice, a baby talk, and patience… and you’ll see something truly special. Pico will slowly come out on his own, head lowered, tail wagging gently, his way of bravely trying again. At just one year old and 7 pounds, Pico is still forming his view of the world. He doesn’t need pressure or expectations, just reassurance, consistency, and kindness. A home with dog experience would be his best match, with someone willing to move at his pace and help him build confidence one loving moment at a time. In the right environment, Pico will blossom into a devoted companion who trusts deeply because he was given the chance to feel secure. Then more of Pico's jovial charm will take over!  Pico is hypoallergenic and will need regular monthly grooming to keep his coat healthy and comfortable. More than anything, he needs a family who understands that healing happens gently, and that trust, once earned, is a beautiful gift. If your heart has room for patience, compassion, and quiet victories, Pico may be the little soul meant to grow beside you. This dog's adoption fee is $650 to go towards their vetting (vaccines, spay/neuter, heartworm/Ehrlichia/Lyme test, fecal test, pre-op blood work, dental cleaning, and microchip as well as grooming if needed). If you are interested, please fill out the adoption application. For additional information regarding our adoption process, please check our FAQ's Page.   *All dogs in the care of Get a Life Pet Rescue live in loving foster homes while waiting for their perfect match.

Story
I’m an experienced pet adopter. The reasons why I’m looking for a new home for my little one is I have 3 pets and not able to spend as much time and pay attention to all of them. The dog is adopted from the shelter 1 year ago. Approximately 10 years old. He had all his teeth removed due to neglect in puppy mill. He gets along with all of my kids, dog and cat. He is very cuddly and sweet. The lack of teeth doesn’t bother him. He has a great appetite and poops great. His only downside is that he pees very often and Inside. He is great with wearing belly band. Will take time to warm up to you. Ideal dog if you have no other pets and you have time to devote to petting him. Loves being carried. He walks in circles a lot when nervous.

Goldie is a 5 year old, 12 pound girl. We believe she is a Chihuahua/Yorkie mix. (Probably not hypoallergenic). Spayed and up to date on vaccines. She loves all humans (though she can be a touch shy at first) and likes to be with them at all times. Always looking for a lap to sit on and begs for attention with her paws. Housebroken (pee pads or outside). Gets along great with other small dogs, crate trained. Will bark if there is something exciting going on outside. Would be great for a young retiree. Applications for Goldie are available at www.chesed-rescue.org/adoptions We background and vet check all applicants and are looking for stable homes.  October 7, 2025, 6:28 pm
