Story
Clarabelle can be “Goofy” when it’s playtime but really she’s a young sweet gentle soul. Clarabelle is ALWAYS smiling! When she sees another dog or human her wiggle butt starts going so her entire body wiggles. Her friendly nature is welcoming to dogs and humans, and if they let her she will kiss you hello but usually on her back for other dogs, to show she’s very submissive. There's only one time you won’t see her smiling and that’s because she’s buried her face under the covers to sleep and possibly to cover up her snoring(what a lady). Clarabelle simply is the happiest, most loving, gentle pup that just loves being with her humans; whether it’s active time playing with toys, going for walks or taking a dip in the pool or time to chill aka snuggling on the couch watching tv(Bluey is her favorite). She’s a great balance of active but chill. If you are looking for the easiest dog to take care of and to love, Clarabelle might be your match❤️ If you are interested in learning more about this dog, please complete an application by visiting http://www.floridaurgentrescue.com/adopt.

Story
Eve was found in a rough neighborhood in Jacksonville, FL in a field. She was in a broken crate without a tray, covered with a tarp and cinder blocks. She had zero protection from the elements and was only bring fed sometimes with zero regular access to water. At that time temps were going down to 32°, so she was really suffering. We didn't hesitate to talk to the neighborhood guys "caring" for her and offered her safety in our Rescues care. They agreed and she's been with us since. She's very sweet, crate trained, leash trained and has done well with older kids and other dogs at adoption events in her own crate. She loves car rides and sticking her head out the window. She does amazingly at our adoption events with all kinds of people. Sizes and ages. She's so sweet and gentle! She really deserves to be spoiled for the of her life.

I'm sad to post this but we have to rehome our 4 1/2 year old pitbull. I'm pregnant and she's become too much for me to handle. She is fixed and UTD on her shots. She is good with other dogs! XL kennel included. Disclaimer she is terrified of going down the stairs! But she is super sweet and hyper needs a big yard!

Story
Diesel is a 6 year old (55lb) pit that I adopted from craigslist 5 years ago. He is dog/cat aggressive which is why I can no longer keep him. He has had proper training with multiple trainers and listens very well when he’s by himself. He knows sit, stay, no, paw, dog out (down/leave the area), stand up, roll over, crate and muzzle trained, and has decent recall. He’s incredibly cuddly and loves his people more than anything. He does not tear anything up or get into things he shouldn’t. He loves school age children but he’s never been around a baby. He can be skittish around men the first time he meets them but usually ends up loving them once he knows they’re safe to be around. He has absolutely no health issues. Diesel comes with his prong collar, leash, harness, his favorite bone, and a gallon sized baggy full of his current dog food. If adopted within the Jax area, he has 2 other dogs that he can meet up with for doggy play dates. These are the ONLY 2 he can be socialized with.

This is Cora. She turned a year old January 21 of 2025. She is a sweet girl high energy would make a perfect frisbee partner or running partner. She does suckle so she has a tendency to put holes in fabrics. She is crate trained and has done well at a dog care facility. I would not recommend small dogs or children under the age of five she has a tendency to jump up and knock kids down. She also likes to dig. I am not in a position with my own medical needs to continue caring for her. I have multiple sclerosis And I am needing to rehome her as soon as possible.She was my daughter‘a and she has been deployed.

These pups are in Jacksonville, Florida too!

Story
We have had Tyson for 8 years. He has always been so loving and just wants to more attention than we can give right now. He loves sunbathing, running outside, and walks to explore (ok on a leash). He enjoys being alone, but will occasionally play with our younger dog. Tyson has become more anxious since our family has grown and he deserves a home with no kids and lots of attention. Ideally, we would like to keep both dogs together. They've been together for 6 years. He would not take well to other unfamiliar dogs in a new home.
