Story
Hello, I'm Justice, a two-year-old Pit Bull mix with a heart full of love and resilience. Despite a rough start in life, I've blossomed into a gentle and playful girl who's ready to find a loving forever home. My name is JUSTICE for a reason after all. I may be small in size, often called a "pocket Pit Bull," but my affection knows no bounds. I thrive on cuddles, belly rubs, and giving kisses-nothing makes me happier than showering my human friends with love. Toys are another passion of mine; whether it's a squeaky ball or a chew toy, I'll happily engage in playtime for hours, then curl up next to you when it is time to relax. My playful spirit is matched only by my sweetness. I'm known for my gentle nature and patience, especially with those who show me kindness. I adore spending time with people, especially children. Their laughter and energy bring out the best in me, and I cherish every moment of play and companionship we share. While I love humans dearly, I can be a bit cautious around other dogs at first. It takes me some time to build trust with new canine friends, but with patience and slow introductions, I can learn to enjoy their company too. At two years old, I'm past the destructive puppy stage. I'm eager to learn new tricks and continue growing with positive reinforcement and guidance. I'm a loyal companion who's ready to bring joy and love into a forever family's life. If you're looking for a gentle and affectionate addition to your home, someone who loves toys, kisses, and cherishes children, then Justice is the perfect match for you. Come meet me, and let's create a lifetime of cherished memories together! Key Details: Name: Justice Breed: Pit Bull mix (pocket size) Age: 2 years Temperament: Affectionate, sweet, playful Loves: Toys, kisses, children Needs: Slow introductions to new dogs

She also loves to play with toys and other dogs of all sizes. She also does well with cats! When meeting new people Willow can seem very exuberant, but this is something we are working on! She is house and kennel trained and also knows how to sit and jump up really high. She’s super athletic and would make the perfect companion for an active person or family. She walks reasonably well on leash and would not doubt love to be someone’s forever companion! Willow’s ideal home would be with someone she can go on adventures with, but also cuddle on the couch with as a Netflix and chill buddy! This girl has waited sooo long for her perfect family! If you think she could be the girl for you let us know!! She is up to date on vaccines and prevention, microchipped, heartworm negative, dewormed, and spayed.

Sweet, Shy Betty was found in a ditch in a Strawberry Patch in January 2022. She was very thin, was covered in fleas and loaded with worms. Betty is healthy, heartworm negative and is now fully up to date with vaccinations. Betty is a timid lady, she requires some time to decompress in a home. We have been working with her and she has done wonderful in her foster - really coming out of her shell. She is still a little afraid of new things but walks well on a leash with proper equipment, is crate trained and housebroken. Betty is 9 years old and 55lbs. *She will need a secure, fully fenced yard* We recommend no kitties for her and no other dogs. Betty attended obedience classes and learned how to sit / stay.

Story
Have you ever wanted to live with a parkour enthusiast? Like the sounds of an amateur stalker who still gives you space for whatever you're doing? Don't believe a dog can bark with his whole body? Do we have the ginger boy for you. Ralph loves making new people friends, but wants to be the only fur baby in your life. He is potty / crate trained and knows all of his basic commands. This boy is a people pleaser who is happiest while learning new things you teach him. Ralph loves his balls and stuffies and wants a furever partner who will dedicate time to play with him every day. Ralph insists on playing with older children as his zoomies can sometimes be mistaken for an out-of-control ballistic missle. He loves bacon and understands it might take an eight-hour day to bring some home. That's why he is non-destructive and completely comfortable spending time in his crate. Over the last six months, Ralph has improved his daily stroll around the neighborhood but would like to spend more time working with you on his pulling on leash. Ralph is also a busy guy who would prefer that you manage his toy collection to avoid any issues with guarding or overstimulation. His heart is so full (of worms) but treatment will be finished this fall. If Ralph sounds like the pawfect partner for you or your family, act now because supplies are limited.

Britt is a very sweet girl. She is a little timid with new people and can get overstimulated quickly. Britt would benefit from a structured household where she can learn from a strong pack leader that will give her what she needs. She is unsure of dogs and how to interact with them so we are recommending she be the only pet. No kitties or small children either please. Britt is house broken, crate trained and like to go for walks or play in the yard. We will ask for a home for her (no apt / condo) as she needs a fenced in space. Britt is healthy, 5 years old and 55lbs. She is Spayed and Heartworm negative. Adoption Donation: $250 apply at www.secondchancefriends.org Located: Tampa, FL

Story
Meet, Gamora! A 2 year old, female, Bully mix. Gamora loves to play! Her favorite toys have squeakers in them but, if you give her a stuffed to she will shred it in record time! LOL She enjoys being brushed and petted, she will even lay like a frog so you can do a good job brushing her. Gamora loves to play in water so baby pools are a must as she likes to cool off in them and take her toys for a swim too! Gamora can be timid with new faces and once she is with you a short while she warms up pretty quickly! She would do best in a home with older children 16 and up as she can be too rough when she plays. Gamora needs to be your one and only pet as she does not do well with other animals so no going to the dog park with this one. Gamora needs a home with a 6 foot tall fenced yard as she is very athletic and can and will easily jump over a small fence being energetic she needs plenty exercise to run and play. She is crate trained so when you leave her alone you will need to crate her as she will be naughty while you are gone! Being a smart girl Gamora knows how to sit by verbal command or hand gesture. She can stand, lay down and is learning to go to her bed by and gesture too. Gamora is now ready to find her loving FUR-ever home. For more information on how to adopt, please call the shelter to see if this pet is still available for adoption. Then come to the shelter for a meet and greet. We are open 10:30-6 Tuesday – Saturday (closed 1-2 for lunch and the last Friday of every month).
