Well howdy there, partner! The name’s Neko, but y’all can just call me your ol' buddy. I may be 11 years old, but don’t let my age fool ya – this cowboy’s still got plenty of spunk left in him. I’ve been around the block a few times, but I’m as sweet as a fresh batch of cornbread and always ready for some playin’ and snuggles.
I’ve got a big ol’ wiggle butt that I’m mighty proud of, and when I’m happy – which is most of the time – you’ll see it waggin’ like a windmill in a prairie breeze. I love me some toys, and when there’s food around, I’m your trusty sidekick, motivated and ready to work for a tasty treat. And let me tell ya, I may not hear like I used to – getting older does that to a cowboy – but I sure still know how to show some love and keep up with the fun!
I’m friendly with other dogs and good on a leash, so I’m happy to take a slow, casual stroll with ya through the open range (or around the neighborhood, whatever suits ya). I’m a cuddlebug at heart, so after a good romp, I’ll be right next to you for some quality snuggle time.
Even though my hearing's a little quieter these days, don’t you worry – I’m still playful, sweet, and ready to keep on livin' life to the fullest. If you're lookin’ for a loyal, easygoing cowboy with a big heart, well, I reckon I’m the one for ya. So, what do you say? Ready to ride off into the sunset together?

We hope you meet your four-legged love at SPCA Florida! Our goal is to help you find a companion that best suits your household. We have wonderful animals available and a great deal of information to share with you.
Adoption Process
When you arrive at the Adoption Center we invite you to take a look around and meet the animals. We encourage you and your family to spend time with each pet you are interested in to see which is the best fit. Our trained staff and volunteers are happy to answer questions about the animals and provide you with whatever background information we have regarding that pet. Please keep in mind we do not always know all of the adoptable animals’ history or background depending on how they arrived at SPCA Florida.
If you currently have a dog at home we recommend you bring him or her in to interact with your potential new dog.
When you find a pet you would like to adopt the next step is to fill out an Adoption Application, which will be reviewed with you by one of our trained counselors. The counselors will answer any questions you may have. If the pet is already sterilized he or she can go home the same day, otherwise the surgery is normally scheduled the next day and the pet can go home the day of surgery.

Adoption fees vary depending on species, breed and age. The fee includes:
•Spay/Neuter surgery for unsterilized pets

•Cats are dewormed, tested for feline leukemia and feline aids and receive vaccinations for feline distemper, rhinotracheitis, calici virus and Rabies
