Story
Dobbie is...free? I sure hope so! I am Dobbie, and I`m a bit of a boy genius (I even know that socks belong to humans and not me, teehee). I am a fabulous student and know sit and down, and I`m extremely food motivated! My nose is legendary, and I really enjoy nosework games where I get to find all the snackos! I love toys (almost as much as bacon), and I will play ball with you as long as you would like! I can get zoomies on command, and I`m ready to roughhouse when you are, but when you say it`s nap time, I am more than happy to get a lil nappy nap in. I am fully housebroken, exceptional in a crate, and so well-mannered in the home. I can normally coexist with other respectful dogs, or I`d be totally content being your only pup. The only thing I`m still working on is my leash manners, and I can be a bit of a tank while I`m on walks. I would LOVE to have my own yard to frolic in or have an adopter who can help me on my journey to master leash manners (my staff friends here can tell you all about how to make that happen). I do come with a crate, a free training session, and a lifetime of cuddles! Let`s meet today!

Story
I am Tank! While my name may suggest I am a mighty bull, I am actually a wittle shy mouse. Okay, maybe not little, but I am a gentle soul and may need your help to feel brave! I`m told I`m quite the striking boy and have the shiniest coat, but it`s my eyes that will really capture you. I like to stare at you lovingly...a lot. Once I get comfy the wiggles will slowly start to escape my body, though I do my best to contain them. I have recently discovered toys and think unstuffing them might just be the best thing ever. I`ve been working on learning my basic commands, but I am very eager to please and don`t mind being rewarded with pets! I`ve been friendly with the other dogs I`ve met in passing but hope to make more friends soon. Please ask to spend time with me today!

Story
Shall we play ball? I am Gavin, and life with me would BE a ball! I’m a lively boy and will never say no to a game of tag or taking a nice romp out in nature. Making new friends, both people and other dogs, is always a fun time for me! I’ll admit, the ole leash manners will need some work, but I am well-mannered indoors, housebroken, and looove to wrap myself up and become the ultimate piggy in a blankie, especially after I splish splash in the kiddie pool. I do know cats are not my cup of tea, and I don’t like to share my nom noms (kibbles), so I may do best in an adult only home (if my space is respected while I crunch and cronch on my dinner, I’m totally chill). I’ll seek you out when I’m ready for an ear massage, and once we are besties (which will be pretty soon), I will want the massages...a lot. I’m a fiercely loyal, silly boy and can’t wait to find my person! Is that you? Let’s find out!

Story
Are you looking for a family guy? I’m Stewie, and I’m that guy! I’m VERY well-known here for being fantastic with other dogs. I’ll do whatever the other dog is comfortable with, whether that’s a game of tag, wrestling, splooting and chilling, or sitting in the sprinklers. The humans here actually use me as a `tester dog,` so I`ve made hundreds of dog friends! I LOVE sprinklers and firmly believe sitting in the middle of one is key to maximum summer enjoyment. I’ve learned all about walking nicely on a leash and sitting for treats. My current fosters have trained me up to be the perfect house guest as I am now housebroken, crate trained, and a big lover to everyone I meet. Toys are a big must for me, as I love to chew on a stuffie and have improvised on some household items, but my fosters are making great strides in teaching me right from wrong as I am easily redirected and satisfied with toys of my own. I can’t wait for my own house to play in and dream of having my own sprinkler. Please make my dreams come true today! Email foster@alachuacounty.us to set up a meet and greet with me!

Story
HEY YOU! Yes, you! Are you just going to stand there or are you going to give me a cuddle? Or perhaps throw my tennis ball? Pweeeease? I`m Eddie, and on the exterior I may present as a rugged older fellow, but you will quickly discover I`m just the happiest wittle puppy dog. I did live in a home before arriving to ACAR (I landed here due to no fault of my own), so I am well-mannered indoors and know sit, down, I`m crate trained and making great strides in my housebreaking. Tennis balls are the way to my heart, and after a good game of fetch I will present my booty to you and politely request that you give me aaaall the scratches. I have met a few other dogs, and so far, so good! I`m up for a game of tag with the youngins before I take my afternoon nap. I still have a lot of life in me, and I can`t wait to spend the rest of it with you! Let`s play ball right now!

Story
Ready to spice up your life? The name is Jalapeno Popper, but my friends call me Poppy, and we`re friends, aren`t we? I think humans are the best thing EVER. No, seriously, I`m a people dog, through and through. I spent time in a foster home, and my foster family reported I`m crate trained, housebroken, and my favorite spot was on the couch with them. I love people sooo much that I don`t want to share attention with other pets, please and thank you! I love exploring out in nature and going on long hikes, and I`ve been working really hard on my leash manners. I`m a fun-loving, loyal guy who cannot wait to spend forever with you. Let`s meet!

Story
Hello, I'm Captain! I might be a bit shy when we first meet, but give me some time and I'll be your best friend. I love to play, and I have lots of energy to keep up with you! Being a Boxer, I'm full of zest and enthusiasm. I might take a little while to warm up, but once I do, you'll see how much fun I can be. I'm young and have a lot to learn, but I'm eager to learn with you. I promise, if you give me a chance, I'll be the most loyal companion you could ask for. Why should you adopt me? Because everyone needs a playful, energetic friend who will always be there for them, and that's me, Captain!
