Story
Big Mac is a neutered, 4-year old American Staff. He is a spunky big boy who loves cuddles and play time. He is potty trained, crate trained, and up to date on all his shots and flea prevention. We rescued him from a kill shelter and adopted to foster because he was soo sweet and deserved a second chance to show his true personality. Unfortunately, we can’t keep him long term which is why fostering was our only option, but we are hoping to find his furever home❤️ he has quite a bit of energy, so he would need an experienced owner with an active lifestyle and preferably a yard. During his walks he does not pull much and listens well to basic commands. He doesn't bark at the doorbell but is always on guard like a good boy! Big Mac does have a high prey drive, so he would need to be in a home with no cats or small critters. Other than that, he gets very excited meeting new people and dogs and is sweet with the neighborhood children ❤️ please give this goofy, loving giant a chance 🥰

Story
Anyone who meets potato quickly falls in love with his sweet personality and cuddly nature. He’s the dog who will just come curl up in your lap and give you kisses. He’s a big fan of snacks as well, so he’s very easy to win over! He’s a total gem because he’s super playful outside with other pups but has a great off-switch when he comes inside. He loves other dogs but can overwhelm some cats so we would only recommend him for a home with very dog-savvy cats. Mr. Potato is a cute 10 month old crop earred pittie that we know is going to grow into the handsomest boy. He’s a bit wary of adult men but he’s been awesome with older kids (he hasn't met younger kids yet) and women. He’s still learning potty training but doing way better in his kennel. He’s vaccinated, neutered, microchipped, and heartworm tested negative.

Stanley is a 77lb, 2 year old, fun loving, big puppy. He came to us as an owner surrender in 2022. He is dog friendly and loves his foster siblings. He is healthy, UTD, Neutered, crate trained and house broken. The wishlist: A family that will keep up his professional training and A fully fenced in yard. Potentially another dog, if not in the home then maybe one added later. Patience. Stanley is smart and wants to please. He is fun, happy, loves people and playing with toys. He has a great foundation and has gone through both basic training and basic training urban with Bayshore Dog Training. He knows sit, down, place, come, heel.

Story
I have had Rory since she was 5 weeks old. However I recently am going through a divorce and the cost of keeping her I can’t support anymore. She is a very high energy dog that needs somewhere she can run around and play. She does well with other dogs once she gets used to them she just takes a minute to warm up to them. She really is a great dog I just unfortunately can no longer give her the love and attention she needs as well as the space she needs to live her best life. She is very food motivated so training her is easy. She’s completely house trained and never has accidents in the house. She could use some extra leash training but overall she’s easy on a leash just needs a little direction sometimes.

Please welcome this very special boy to 4 Lucky Dogs! Mr.Meaty! Mr. Meaty was rescued from the PRC and given a second chance when our good friend Melanie said she would take him home to foster!! Our rescue teamed up with Melanie to help provide Mr. Meaty the best chance at finding his perfect home   Mr. Meaty is a 2 year old lovable slobber chops that will melt your heart. He loves long walks, playing in the yard with his toys; playing tug and chewing on his Kong and Nylabones.  He is the best of both worlds he is as he plays hard but also loves to snuggle up with his person. He will sit and give paw for treats and will stand and give hugs when he sees you.  He has some anxiety and new situations scare him until he feels safe. His new adopter will need to take it slow and not overwhelm him. He is potty trained but not crate trained as being shut in the crate makes him panic.  Mr. Meaty needs an active home, a fenced in yard (at least 5 foot) since when he’s excited he will pull very hard on the leash (we are working on this). He deserves lots of attention so a family that is home more often than not. Since he’s not a puppy, and has already had a hard life at just 2 years old - he won’t be adopted to any home with small or young children. He is still working on his calm manners and could easily knock a little one down.  Mr. Meaty is adjusting to his home life - but in new surroundings has a tendency to howl when left alone, he is getting better every day - but is not suited for a home with shared walls (apartment, condo) This sweet boy will make anyone so happy to have him, he’s a great size, lovable and trainable - let’s give him the best forever home he could wish for!  Apply for Mr. Meaty at 4luckydogs.org and always remember - shelter dogs matter too! #4luckydogspetrescueinc #4luckydogsrescue #4luckydogs #4luckydogsanimalrescue #shelter #dog #shelterdog #shelterdogsrock #shelterdogsarethebest #shelterdoglove #shelterdogsmatter #prc #tampa #prctampa #tampabay #tampaflorida #tamparescue #tamparescuedogs #tamparescuedog #hills #or #hillsborough #hillsboroughcounty #staffy #staffylove #staffordshirebullterrierVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 5, 2024, 9:33 pm

I am a tug-of-war aficionado and will gladly challenge you to a friendly game. My enthusiasm is infectious, and my joy for playtime will surely bring a smile to your face.

My affection knows no bounds, and I'm always ready to shower my family with love. It's important to note that I also embrace my sensitive side. I am a little wary of storms and fireworks, so a comforting environment during loud noises will help me feel secure and calm. If you're ready to welcome a loving, playful, and cuddly companion into your life, I eagerly await meeting you. Come check out a delightful dog who promises to bring endless joy, laughter, and love to your home!
