Story
Hi my name is Bella Donna. I am about 11 yrs old and weigh about 47 lbs. I am on the shorter side, but I am strong. I am smart, and I am stubborn! But I am also very beautiful as every single person who sees me tells me that, almost like that is my second name. Bella Beautiful or Bella Bellisima! I have been in boarding for a long time, I would love to have my own comfy bed and a family to call my own. I would need a strong person, and someone who is just as stubborn or more so, than me, as I need my training to continue, if you don't remind me, then I will forget, and then I will get in trouble, as I will revert back to my puppy ways of jumping on people, and they say that is not cool. I think it is fun, but whatever, that is what they say.  I am also friendly with people, I do like some other dogs, but I prefer to have all your attention to myself. I will probably learn to like another fur sibling, but you would have to introduce me slowly, as when I was younger another dog attacked me when I was just walking by him. Can you believe that! I love to go for walks and car rides. Adoption fee: $150.00 and includes spay/neuter, rabies vaccine, DHPP, and microchip. To meet me, please complete an application on our website: pawprinthearts.comwww.pawprinthearts.comNovember 2, 2024, 1:27 am

Our laidback and goofy Franny is looking for her pawfect furever home! Franny is around 5-6 years old and has been in foster for almost 4 years after she was rescued in Louisiana. She was found tied to a park bench (Franny park) after hurricane Laura. She was scared and had signs of abuse, neglect, and breeding. She has come such a long way over the years and is still hopeful she will find a calm household without other animals in the home and a huge fenced yard for her to roll around in. She loves to go on car rides (especially for pup cups!) and curl up in all her blankies. She is a super loyal companion who will just ask for some belly rubs and snacks and then she will be yours furever! To inquire about welcoming Franny into your home, please fill out an application online:www.compassionkind.org/adopt ##1287833##

Story
This total love bug is looking for a forever family that ideally has no other dogs (or cats) or a small mellow pup for her to befriend and a fenced in yard. The fenced yard is not required, but this girl LOVES the freedom to run and play in a yard and you will get extra bonus points if you have a hose for her to play with! Luna LOVES  water and is the perfect adventure buddy. Luna is much smaller than she appears in photos and is quite petite at only 41 pounds! This playful, spunky, loving, 4 yr old lab mix has been waiting for her forever home for over a year and we are just so shocked! She LOVES people and is a wonderful companion. She adores water and playing in the hose, is great at bath time, never begs for food (even if you are right next to her), and is fully vetted. She was rescued from a hoarding case and unfortunately can be reactive to new pups especially on leash, but is better at introductions off leash. Luna does great in a car and is always really great at meeting brand new people- she just wants to give and receive love and is so excited to meet her forever family as soon as possible. Her family will be extremely lucky to call Luna theirs furever! Luna can’t wait to meet you!To adopt: www.compassionkind.org/adopt ##1780319##

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Tricia is a fun-loving, spayed, ~45lbs, compact bundle of joy! Tricia loves to play with other dogs, toys, and water hoses. Tricia has lived with cats and does best with confident cats. Small foster kittens are a little too exciting for her, but this is expected for such a playful pup. Tricia enjoys mental and physical enrichment including food puzzles and would make an excellent hiking or other adventure buddy. Tricia was a hit with several Tampa Bay Buccaneers players at a recent event and has never met a stranger! Tricia has only been around children briefly during events and has taken treats gently from them but may accidentally knock smaller children over. Tricia responds very well to positive reinforcement training techniques and responds to the cues sit, shake/paw, down (as in lay down), off (great to use when tempting counter treats are within sniffing range!), touch, and place. Tricia is also house trained! Tricia can sometimes get a little overwhelmed and extra excited but is easily redirected with toys and/or treats. If you're looking for a dog who will be your partner for all of your fun activities, Tricia is your girl!! All of our adoptable rescues have a clean bill of health (unless otherwise stated), are spayed/neutered, vaccinated (age-appropriately), tested (FeLV/FIV for cats, HW for dogs over 6 months of age), current on flea and heartworm prevention and microchipped. This is all included in their adoption fee that goes in as a donation to help us cover their medical costs and continue to help other animals in need. Any questions, concerns and suggestions, please feel free to contact us at ALDR@animalluvrs.org.

Story
Hope and Buck The verdict is in - these two are amazing! Hope is certainly the more shy out of the two, but that doesn't stop her from leaning in for soft scratches and gentle snuggles. Buck can't contain his excitement when he sees a human or another pup! He is such a good boy! He does the absolute cutest tippy tap dance while wagging his tail that honest to goodness melts our hearts every time we see it. Here's what we've observed so far: Hope is a 64 lb sugar pie! housebroken crate trained gentle on the leash a perfect passenger can be shy at first (but still leans in for love) dog friendly loves affection Buck is a 60 lb snugglebug! housebroken crate trained (but prefers to be next to you) pulls slightly on the leash but is easily corrected a perfect passenger outgoing and curious when meeting new friends dog friendly loves affection BOTH pups are incredibly sweet and grateful for every little thing they get (beds, treats, toys), but most of all, LOVE. They are working on mastering basic commands and top-notch leash skills in their foster home. And while we'd love for them to find a home together, these two can be separated if the perfect homes come along. If you're interested in adopting Hope and/or Buck, fill out an application at https://animalluvrs.org/ All of our adoptable rescues have a clean bill of health (unless otherwise stated), are spayed/neutered, vaccinated (age-appropriately), tested (FeLV/FIV for cats, HW for dogs over 6 months of age), current on flea and heartworm prevention and microchipped.

Story
Meet Pea! Pea is a sweet, 2 year old terrier mix that was a deadline plea from a local shelter. When she arrived to our rescue, she had been experiencing neurological episodes that caused her to fall over, but they had no known cause as her blood work and imaging were clear. She was also heartworm positive but we couldn't begin treatment until we got to the bottom of what was going on with her medically. Luckily, Pea has shown major improvement while in foster care, and while she sometimes has balance problems, major health concerns have been ruled out. She has begun heartworm treatment and is now ready to look for her forever home. Pea is crate-trained and house-trained, and she gets along great with both dogs and cats. She wags her whole body every time you talk to her or pet her, and she really is happy all the time! Pea's ideal home would be with someone who is looking to add an extra special pup to their family. Dog and/or cat playmates would be a bonus, but all she really needs is someone to love her.

Maddie is a lucky gal who loves belly rubs, carrots, and attention. She can entertain herself but prefers people, cuddles, toys, and treats. She is crate trained, house trained, spayed and up to date on all her vaccines. She does not mind dressing up in costumes and clothes. Maddie travels well and loves to ride in the car. She is a powerful, high-energy dog. Maddie would do best in the home of an experienced handler and without small pets or young children. She can and has lived with other larger dogs successfully. Maddie lacks confidence. She can be reactive. Continued vigilance, training, and proper introductions are necessary for a positive outcome. Maddie had a rough start in life. She was in a high kill shelter on euthanasia day with her puppies when she was saved. Maddie is a fun-loving dog who will enhance your life!
