One of our Project Pups needs your help in finding his new home! Barnacle Bob is a 2 year old short stack who doesn’t like his kennel at the shelter and would much prefer your couch and a yard to bury his toys in.

He is super friendly and social, loves to meet new people and loves other dogs; though he’s not that great at sharing with other dogs so would do best as a solo dog at home and having play dates or social time with others. He loves car rides and wouldn’t mind accompanying you on errands to all of those dog-friendly places. Bonus if it’s a restaurant where you accidentally drop food from your plate!

He’s a perfect little companion and would love to meet his forever family.

Please email us at [email protected] if you would like more info or to arrange a meeting. Or you can go down to the shelter and ask for him. He is currently at Pinellas County Animal Services.

A new federal bill inspired by a Pinellas County case that sparked statewide change could soon bring an animal abuse tracking system to the entire country. 🔗⬇️
