Story
Kiki is a young and pretty girl who would love an adopter that will play with her! She's the perfect blend of snuggly and playful. Kiki is a bit shy/scared when meeting new people but wants to warm up. Her adopter will need to be patient with Kiki as she is shy and has never been inside of a house. Kiki and 30 other dogs were seized by law enforcement and their previous owner charged with animal cruelty and dog fighting. The dogs all lived outside on heavy chains without access to food and water. Because Kiki has never lived inside or had a loving owner she'll need help with basic skills like potty training. But Kiki doesn't need help learning how to play! She loves to play fetch and race around the play yard with volunteers that she's learned to trust. She is one of the smartest dogs that we've ever worked with and would love to do activities like agility, scentwork etc after she's able to build more confidence. At this time Kiki needs to be either an only pet or be in a household that will separate Kiki from other pets until she's decompressed.

Story
I saved this dog from a irresponsible crack head, i believe he was used for dog fights and that is why he has aggression issues.He is around 6 years old. I need to rehome him because i have other animals in my house and i cant trust him around any other animals. He is a sweet and goofy dog and loves butt scratches. He is also obsessed with his ball.

Story
This was my Dads dog who unfortunately passed away in December. He got her when she was a puppy and now she is 7 years old. Myself and my sister currently have dogs and can not take on another dog and she is 50/50 when it comes to getting along with other dogs, typically better encounters with male dogs but not friendly with other female dogs. She gets along with our kids and have no issues. she is very sweet and lovable but wary of strangers but does warm up easily. She makes for an excellent guard dog, very alert and observational of her surroundings and protective of her property and person. Free to a good home and someone willing to give her the time and love she needs.

Story
Meet Rocky “The Rockstar”, one of our youngest seniors At age 8 and 70lbs, Rocky is the perfect balance of playful and chill. He loves running in the yard, going for walks and playing ball. He also loves taking sun naps on the patio and practicing the art of couch potato-ing. Rocky is a very polite eater at meal time and waits for the command to eat his meals. He has had training and knows sits, lays down, “place” and “leave it”. Rocky adores his toys, especially those with the squeakers and takes good care of them (he’s only chewed the face off of one toy). Rocky does need to be the only pet and would benefit from an adopter willing to continue training.  He is strong, so best with kids 12+. Our boy deserves a loving home with peace and consistency. ##2150416##

Story
At 9 years old and 62lbs, Crumble is quite the fashionista, as you can see in the pictures. She’s a sweet, friendly Velcro dog and is best suited as the only pet in the house. She’s housebroken and crate-trained. She likes playing with her toys, and it’s so cute when she carries her toy around the house. Her ideal human would be someone who works from home by day and enjoys cuddling with her by night. Health & Wellness Needs: I have a visual impairment. ##2224865##

Story
Meet Angel! Angel came into a rescue with a weeping gunshot wound and heavily pregnant. Despite everything she had been through, she gave birth to 15 healthy babies. All of her babies have been adopted - now it's Angel’s turn to be someone’s baby. 🤍 Angel is a shy, gentle soul who takes a little time to trust - but once she does, her love is soft, loyal, and incredibly special. She isn’t the kind of dog who demands attention… she’s the kind who quietly chooses you. She would do best in a calm, patient home that will let her open up at her own pace. Angel can coexist with other mellow, respectful dogs, but she truly thrives in a peaceful environment where she feels safe.

Story
📍Ft Lauderdale, FL but transport can be arranged! 🔮 Miss Cleo – the Wiggle Queen Who Can See Your Future (and it includes her) 🔮 Call her now! Because Miss Cleo already knows you’re about to fall in love. This 4-year-old bulldog mix went from the Palm Beach shelter euth list to strutting her stuff with confidence, curves, and the *most fabulous* natural eyeliner in town. Eat your heart out, Cleopatra. 👑 After hip surgery and a summer of rehab, she’s all healed up and ready for her forever home! She’s got a quirky little gait, but don’t be fooled—she loves her walks, wrestling with her BFF Jaffee, and hanging out quietly while her humans work. Cleo likes her meals and toys all to herself (a girl’s gotta set boundaries!), but she’s polite with treats and sweet with her dog friends. Calm homes and cozy routines are her vibe—crowds and chaos, not so much. Cleo would do best with no young children and slow introductions to resident dogs. Adopt Miss Cleo and she’ll tell your future: soulful stares, daily wiggles, and a lifetime of love—with flawless eyeliner, of course. 💋🔮 If you're interested in adopting Cleo, please complete an Adoption application: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/KRF/Dog

Ricotta is still waiting for her forever home… and we truly can’t believe this adorable little girl hasn’t been scooped up yet. 🧀🐾 Ricotta is about 10 weeks old and part of our famous “Cheese Litter.” We were told the puppies are coonhound/boxer mixes, but at the end of the day, we just know she’s 100% cute. She’s playful, goofy, cuddly, and everything you’d want in a puppy. Ricotta loves attention, loves to play, and is soaking up every bit of puppyhood while she waits for a family to call her own. She’s up to date on age-appropriate vaccines and ready to head home with her forever family. Someone come grab this little cheese before she melts all our hearts completely. 🧀💕
