ONE YEAR WITH NO INTEREST, WILL ANYONE EVER COME FOR ME? My name is Leah. I’m starting to think that nobody will give me a chance. I would make an excellent companion for an active adult family and I like other dogs. I’m a girl who loves to have fun, go swimming and would enjoy having a fenced-in yard to run and play in with my people! When I see someone that I don’t know, I bark. Trust me, I’m all talk – I have to alert my people when a stranger is near! But, just ignore me for a minute, and I will soon become your new best friend. Unfortunately, most would just dismiss a dog like me and walk on by, and that’s why I’ve been here for over a year. I’m a real sweet heart once I know you, and it doesn’t take much time or effort. I might put up a front but I’ll melt in your hands like putty shortly after. Loads of love and licks are in the future of my adopter.

Gadget has that personality that will jump out at you immediately. His happiness is contagious and his puppy-like play style will have you grinning from ear to ear. If you have something that he wants, he is very quick to “say please” in the cutest (and fastest) way possible. It’s simply impossible to spend a few minutes with this guy and leave without a smile on your face.
Marley is a little more on the reserved side, but would definitely blow Gadget out of the water on the cuddle-meter. She is very affectionate and ready to fall asleep in your arms! These two were roommates for many years, so they became like family to one another. They are a bonded pair and must remain together when finding their forever home.

Looking for a friend who has spunk and smarts along with tons of love and licks to give? Trina is your girl! She came to the shelter after being found as an emaciated stray but has since put healthy weight on.

Jasper had a rough start to life and found himself on the euthanasia list at another shelter. Not only had he never known a loving home due to the abusive situation that he came out of, he was confused and afraid when everything he had ever known was taken away. We took Jasper in & a local trainer stepped up to work with him. Jasper even made friends with another adoptable dog of ours. He is still learning his manners and working to prepare himself for the new life that awaits him – he just needs to find the family that he so deserves. Jasper would like to find a home that consists of adults or teenagers and he would love a fenced-in yard where he can play.

If you’re looking for a goofy best friend to keep you entertained, you’ve just found the perfect match!

They call me Lola Bananas and I’m the cutest 100 pound baby you’ll ever meet! Overall, I’m pretty calm, but I like to be silly and playful at times.
Once I get to know you, I’ll probably try to fit myself into your lap. Soaking up affection is what I do best. I also enjoy going on walks and I behave nicely on leash. I had a loving home but I just could not get along with their other dog – so I’m hoping someone with an empty nest will take me in. Consider adding loads of love and loyalty to your family by applying to adopt me today!

Her foster mom writes….
“Bonnie is a loving pup who is ready to find her forever! She is a 2 year old terrier mix who loves to cuddle and please her humans. She has been in foster for a month, due to being stressed in the shelter environment, but she has really come out of her shell in foster. Bonnie is crate trained, house trained, great with her 2 year old human foster sister, her 1 year old pup foster sister and her foster kitty siblings. Bonnie does exhibit some food and toy aggression, but responds very well to verbal commands and corrections.
Although she does get along with foster sister, it is recommended to ease Bonnie into meeting other dogs, as she can be defensive. Bonnie loves toys (especially balls and playing fetch), running around outside with her puppy foster sister and going for walks. She is a sweet girl who loves to play but also loves to snuggle up. In November Bonnie gave birth to 4 adorable puppies who have all found their homes, and now it is her turn to find her furever family!”
To set up a time to meet Bonnie, call Dogs & Cats Forever at 772-489-5454.
My name is Freckles. I’m a gorgeous seven year old Australian cattle dog who would make an excellent friend and running partner. I enjoy chasing after toys – frisbees, tennis balls, you name it! I could shed a few pounds – but that won’t be too hard since I’ve got that cattle dog drive to be on the move! I would make an amazing addition to any family because I’m great with other dogs, cats, and kids! A fenced-in yard would be preferred so I can run around and play in between walks.
Female, Terrier mix, 3 years
I might be a cute 20 pounds of scruff, but I like to be on the move! I’m Libby, and I’m ready to be someone’s new best friend. I like other dogs and even kids, but older kids would be best since I have a tendency to slip out of open doors. My loving family realized that they couldn’t meet my exercise needs or keep me safe. My energy and drive to be busy means that I have an endless supply of FUN to offer to my future family. I would be so happy to find a home with a secure fenced-in yard of my own, along with a family that can commit to keeping me stimulated. Consider me if you like be active and have fun!
Ming is a quiet 10 year old Chow Chow in search of a loving forever home and a nap-time buddy. Sadly, her owners could no longer care for themselves, let alone care for her. She hopes to find someone special that loves her dearly once again. Although she definitely loves her walks, Ming would enjoy a peaceful retirement where she has a cozy place to relax – and someone to share it with.
Blake is a 6 year old pit bull mix. He is currently residing in a foster home where he is thriving. Please ask about scheduling a time to meet him! Blake is in search of an adult home with a fenced-in yard where he can be the only pet.
Blake’s foster mom writes…
If you didn’t know this guys past, you would think that he was the perfect dog! He is so calm and loving in my shop outside of the shelter that was a crazy environment for him.
He sits, stays, places, waits for his food and has learned to walk perfectly on a leash. The boxer in him means he likes multiple short walks where he has time to take in all the smells! We take 3 walks a day and it helps him with his energy level tremendously. He loves to ride in the car with the wind on his face, smelling the world as we drive by!
At my shop, nothing I do bothers him. He will come to see what I’m working on and offer assistance…lol….but if I dont need his help, he lies happily on his bed or puts himself in his crate for a nap! He adores his nylabone that his friend Alexis got him and just loves to sit with me while he happily chews away!
Throughout the day we have an affirmation sessions where I tell him “You are beautiful! You are worth life! You are smart and you are calm and kind. You will find a loving peaceful home after you have healed mind, body, and spirit. You are a great friend!”
Please keep him in your prayers. To return to the shelter would set him back so far! I have faith that some kind person will find him!!!
My name is Meeka. I’m a beautiful 3 year old Australian Cattle Dog who lost my home when my owner had a baby. I am fairly calm and gentle indoors, but as soon as I get outside, I am ready for action! I love to chase just about anything that you can throw (sticks, tennis balls, ropes). Since I will require a lot of safe off-leash play, I’m looking for a home with a fenced-in yard. I hope that the right person will read this and want to make me their new baby!
I’m Mimi, a 10 year old Boxer/Beagle mix. Yeah, I’m a senior girl, but I like to be on the move! I’ve got energy and love to run around as if I’m a young pup. Having time to exercise is important to me, whether it is through several daily walks or a fenced-in yard. Swimming is my absolute favorite activity! I know basic commands such as sit and stay. I’m also housebroken. I do need a very special person and that is probably why I’ve been waiting for so long. It takes me awhile to get used to people, and most people aren’t willing to wait. I hope that one day, someone will really try for me. If that person volunteered to spend time with me regularly, it would give me the time that I need to open up to them prior to going home. I would do best as the only pet in the home. I have potential, and I deserve to spend my golden years with a family to call my own.
I’m Sadie, a 10 year old lab/shepherd mix, let’s get to know each other. I’m an absolute doll once you get to know me. I am a goofy girl who will wiggle and wag at the sight of a leash; I LOVE walks! I’m not only beautiful, I’m smart too. I know my basic commands and will gladly give you my paw. I need a living situation that can be difficult to find. I would do best as the only pet in a home with one adult person. The reason is, once I find a person of my own, I can be very protective of that person. I promise to make up for it with endless love, loyalty and lots of kisses.
Rosie is your typical goofy, smiley pitty. She would be happiest as the only dog in her future home. Here’s why we love her so much:
🐶 Action-packed, wiggly six year old
🐶 Smart girl, knows her basic commands
🐶 Loves to ZOOM – dreams of her own yard
🐶 WUFS playtime & giving kisses
🐶 Asks for a family to give all of her LOVE to
Aussies are highly intelligent, loyal, and thrive on human companionship; I’m no exception. I was surrendered because my previous owners no longer had time for me. They told the shelter staff that I do well with other dogs and kids. I know basic commands. I’m a sweet one year old aussie girl, politely and patiently waiting for the right person to come along and scoop me up.
