Story
Snickerdoodle is the sweetest and most loving dog that I've ever met. She's a true "velcro" dog that's low to medium energy. She would love to be adopted into a household that would provide her with snuggles. She's been a staff favorite everywhere she's been due to her extremely loving and affectionate nature. Snickerdoodle loves to play fetch and gives the ball back gently. Snickerdoodle was seized by law enforcement in an animal cruelty case. While her previous owner's trial was ongoing, she (and 30 other dogs) had to live in a holding facility because they were considered evidence. After her previous owner was sentenced and incarcerated all of the dogs were set to be euthanized. Our nonprofit organization stepped in and pulled all of the dogs that were adoptable and loving with humans. Snickerdoodle and a few of her friends are now at a family owned boarding facility. They've had time to decompress and allow us to see their true personalities. Snickerdoodle is unsure around other dogs so if her adopter has another pet they would need to commit to a slow introduction process. She's only lived on a chain and in a holding facility so her adopters will need to be patient with her as she learns to live in a real home. She's located in Florida but transport can be arranged for the right situation. She's spayed, fully vetted, up to date on shots and is ready to find her happily ever after.

Story
Albert and 30 of his friends lived on chains in rural SC until they were rescued in May 2024. He loves people and is very interested in whatever the humans are doing! Albert is a smart boy and enjoys learning new things. He learns very quickly and loves treats and affection as a reward. Albert has never had a loving owner or lived in a house so his adopters will need to be patient with potty training. He's a staff and volunteer favorite and will make an incredible companion! He hasn't met any cats or kids yet so all members of the family will need to meet Albert prior to adoptions. Albert's neuter appointment is upcoming and will be fixed prior to being adopted.

Story
Tooley is a 7 yr old pure bred American Pitbull Terrier. He is a super loving and sweet boy. He is well trained and behaved. He loves to be loved and played with and take walks. He is both house and crate trained. He does well with kids and adults. Understands commands and has the ability to learn more. Unfortunately, my schedule has become super busy and I am unable to provide him with the kind of love and attention he needs. Looking for nothing less than an awesome and loving home for him. Although he is not aggressive at all, an experienced pitbull owner would be best.

Story
Hi! My name is Bobby. Recently, I have come to Cape Canaveral, Florida from PA from overcrowded shelter when my foster mom moved to Florida, and she took me with her. I am about 9 months old and about medium energy for a puppy. I am about 39.2 lb, neutered, and up to date on vaccines. Since the time my foster mom was caring for me, I learned to wear a collar, walk on a leash, understand basic commands such as no, sit, lay down, stop when we walk, wait, go pee, go in your bed, and boundaries. I am a house broken (some accidents still can happen) and crate trained. My mom does not recommend for me to go into a house with children because I am a little mouthy when I am exited. In my mom's house, I live with my dog sister, and we get along well. So, I am people and dog friendly. I am not sure about cats because I've never been exposed to them. My foster mom calls me a lap dog because I like sit on her knees and to be petted, or just lay next to her and sleep.

Story
“I came to H.A.L.O. in 2019 as a stray. I was and still am a scared little cookie. I have come a long way thanks to the encouragement of my trainers, handlers, and caregivers. I do best with positive based methods. Because of my fears, restraint being number one, I was first muzzle trained and actually, I don’t mind it at all! Once I was comfortable wearing my new jewelry, I was able to continue to be shown new experiences like salon days with pedicures, and in the end… it wasn’t really as bad as I thought!When I trust you, I open up into a bundle of mush. I enjoy walks… especially hiking trails, one on one time with enrichment toys, and fetch! I do need to be an only child, and one can never forget that I will never unlearn to use my teeth if I am pushed into a corner. If we take this journey together, I can promise we will create an incredible bond and when I feel safe, I can conquer any fears with you by my side!”Requirements: Requirements: Fence; Misfit, Handler appointment onlyAll of our dogs and cats are spayed/neutered, up to date with age appropriate vaccinations, heart worm or feleuk/FIV tested, fecal tested, rabies and tag, and microchipped before being placed in your home.

Story
Hello there! My name is Gandolf, and while my face might be frosted like a wise old wizard, my heart is as youthful and vibrant as ever. I’m a charming 12-year-old pit mix with a magical ability to make you smile every single day. My journey hasn’t been easy—after being abandoned by my previous owner, I’ve spent the last two years and 10 months at the shelter. They’ve taken wonderful care of me, but what I truly long for is a forever home where I can live out my golden years with someone who understands and cherishes me. I’m a people-lover through and through. There’s nothing I enjoy more than cuddling up close to my favorite humans, basking in the warmth of their love. I’m an excellent companion for car rides (I ride like a pro!) and a devoted fan of Nylabones—those are my absolute favorite chew toys. And did I mention I know how to shake paws? Yep, I’ll charm you with my wizardly tricks.Even though I’m a bit older, I still have moments of youthful energy—get ready for some joyful zoomies when I’m feeling playful! Of course, I also know how to relax and will happily spend quiet moments by your side.I do come with some quirks (don’t we all?). I have anxiety, so I can get nervous when left alone. I also need time and patience in new situations—I’m not a fan of being rushed or pushed into things I’m unsure about. But don’t worry—with a little understanding and a slow approach, I’ll warm up and show you just how deeply I can love.Because of my history, I’ve been labeled a bit of a “misfit,” and I need to be the only pet in the home. No other dogs or cats, please—but trust me, I have more than enough love to give.One thing you should know is that I’m on thyroid medication for life. The good news? It’s affordable, my levels are perfectly managed, and I feel great!If you’re not ready to adopt, I’m also available for foster—I just don’t want to spend the rest of my life in a shelter. I have so much love to give, and I’m ready to share it with someone special.If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion with a quirky, wise soul, I’m your guy. Let’s make the rest of my life a magical adventure—together.Love, Gandolf Requirements: Martingale Collar; Separation Anxiety; Thyroid Meds; MisfitAll of our dogs and cats are spayed/neutered, up to date with age appropriate vaccinations, heart worm or feleuk/FIV tested, fecal tested, rabies and tag, and microchipped before being placed in your home.
