Say hello to Merrick!

He's a little low rider that is so happy to be with people. He is pretty dog friendly hanging out with the herd of little dogs at the rescue.

Merrick is learning leash manners, and has good energy for long walks.

Yay Bridgette!!!🥳🎉

Bella is a beautiful love who is ready for her forever home! She is socialized & makes going on adventures easy. We put a blanket or towel down in the car & ask her to "place" & she jumps in & rides there. She is very treat- motivated, so making any corrections with her is easy.

While at Home Depot she got treated & loved up by many, then to VIPet Services for training class. She behaves well when around most other dogs in controlled situations, but she is an alpha female. During class she checks in with the person working with her on a regular basis, ignoring all the other dogs in the room. She's a great walker & does not pull. She knows all of the basic commands.

Bella is a beautiful, loveable girl who loves to be out & about with her people going on car rides, going on a walk or hike, going in stores & enjoying an occasional pup cup in an outdoor cafe for classes. She is smart, loyal, beautiful inside & out & will be your best bud if you adopt her.

Hello to Professor Utonium (daddy of the Powderpuff Girls litter!)

As quoted by volunteer Sharon "A successful adventure is when you're glasses are smudged by dog kisses - what a fun happy dog he is!"

Nobody is a stranger to Professor, he loves everyone and to be held! Professor wasn't phased by the busy day inside Home Depot with all the chaos and noise, and he walked so nicely on leash.

They spent some time at the fire station wandering the green space and ended on a high note with a pup cup!

Cooper had a great time on his adventure. He and volunteer Sharon went to Home Depot where he was unphased by all the noise. He loved sniffing everything in the garden dept! They did lots of walking at Coco plum and Mckibben Park. Cooper was very curious about the Muscovy ducks while at the park!

Cooper lapped up his pup cup 😋 and got some extra snuggles before heading back.

Update: Stewie has an adopter!

This handsome little guy is Stewie, and he is 1.5-2 years old.
🚗 Rides well in the car
🐕 Walks well on leash
😀 People friendly
🐶 Dog friendly

For a Yorkie mix, he only barks if confined and can still see his people. He's quiet otherwise.

👋👋My name is Irina and I'm a very sweet Belgian Malinois.

Lauren took me on an adventure to Myakkahatchee Park. I travel in a crate with a kong toy & I'm an excellent car rider. We used the campfire benches as an obstacle course & had fun running up & down them. The park grounds & trails were wet & Lauren knows how much I love to roll in a muddy puddle, so she walked me around the corner to drier ground. We walked part of Big Slough Preserve. She knows I get bored, so I got to carry my toy duck on the way back to the car. Before I got back in the car, she brushed me out. I can easily be touched without any reactions.

We then went to Home Depot where we stopped, talked & got petted by many people there. You can see how well I behave & how I follow commands. I am very focused & aware of my surroundings. I am a very driven girl & I love people. My biggest kryptonite is thunderstorms. I'm a really great girl that loves adventures & is looking for a forever home!

🏥 Irina is heartworm positive and undergoing treatment. ❤️‍🩹
