(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Story
Available by Appointment only: A house isn't a home without Luke. He knows how to light up the whole room with his pure joy. It's in the way he plays with his toys, with pure gratitude. It's in the way he leans into you and buries his head in your lap as he waits patiently for affection and ear scratches. It's in the way he goes outside and lifts his head to the sky, smiling the whole time. He enjoys simple things such as long walks in the woods or finding some water to play in. His presence will remind you to stop and enjoy the small things. The peace he brings makes you know that if a shelter dog can be this happy for no apparent reason, so can you. When he's an office dog, he smiles at everyone that passes by, and in return people smile back at him creating a ripple effect of joy. If he can do that to an office, think what he can do for an entire home. If you would like a dog that is a best friend, a quiet supporter that will always be on your side, and a life long love, this dog may be your match. He does need to be the only dog though because he enjoys getting all of the attention!

Jocelyn

Chihuahua

Female, 11 yrs 9 mos
FREEPORT, FL
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Jocelyn is a special girl who needs an adopter who will let her thrive with a verbal relationship, as she does not like to be touched. She is a cute little thing and will follow you around. Four years ago she came to Alaqua as part of a neglect case, and was adopted a few months later. Due to a family emergency, her family had to bring her back to Alaqua. Jocelyn has been with an experienced foster who now understands what makes Jocelyn happy. She walks on a leash, but a fenced-in yard that she can explore would be ideal. She would benefit from a consistent routine and other dogs in the home may be helpful to her. Jocelyn is a good companion and will trust a human that does not expect her to want to be touched.
