Story
Snickerdoodle is the sweetest and most loving dog that I've ever met. She's a true "velcro" dog that's low to medium energy. She would love to be adopted into a household that would provide her with snuggles. She's been a staff favorite everywhere she's been due to her extremely loving and affectionate nature. Snickerdoodle loves to play fetch and gives the ball back gently. Snickerdoodle was seized by law enforcement in an animal cruelty case. While her previous owner's trial was ongoing, she (and 30 other dogs) had to live in a holding facility because they were considered evidence. After her previous owner was sentenced and incarcerated all of the dogs were set to be euthanized. Our nonprofit organization stepped in and pulled all of the dogs that were adoptable and loving with humans. Snickerdoodle has been living in foster for the past six months and it doing very well. She's fully crate-trained, potty trained and walks politely on a leash. Snickerdoodle is SO ready to have her very own forever home!

Albert

American Pit Bull Terrier Labrador Retriever

Male, 2 yrs 2 mos
palm bay, FL
Size

Story
Albert and 30 of his friends lived on chains in rural SC until they were rescued in May 2024. He loves people and is very interested in whatever the humans are doing! Albert is a smart boy and enjoys learning new things. He learns very quickly and loves treats and affection as a reward. Albert has never had a loving owner or lived in a house so his adopters will need to be patient with potty training. He's a staff and volunteer favorite and will make an incredible companion! He hasn't met any cats or kids yet so all members of the family will need to meet Albert prior to adoptions. Albert loves to sniff, rides in the car like a gentleman and loves to play with toys. He's goofy and funny with the best personality! We know that his perfect happily forever after is out there :)

Story
Meet Moana, the 45-pound burst of joy and affection! This outgoing lovebug is happiest when she’s around people and gets along fabulously with other dogs. In the play yard, Moana is a master of balance—splitting her time between soaking up pets and exploring with her nose. She loves enrichment, especially bully and collagen sticks, and has the softest fur you'll ever pet. Moana dreams of a forever family who enjoys adventures as much as she does, especially if they involve lots of new sniffing opportunities. Adopt Moana, and you’ll have the cutest and most joyful companion ready to fill your days with happiness and love! Moana was rescued from living outside on a heavy chain without access to food, water or reasonable shelter. Her previous owner was arrested on animal cruelty charges. Moana has never lived inside of a home and will need her new human to show her the ropes. Please consider giving sweet Moana her first loving home.

Story
Our boy Max was rescued from an apartment crate after being left alone for days after his owner was incarcerated. His life was that crate but as of June this year no longer! Max has been with his foster mommy for 7 months and has grown in his beautiful coat and has much needed healthy weight on him. He is still looking for his forever home which we are hoping comes very soon. He Ioves people and dogs his size or larger no cats even though he used to live with them. Loves the outdoors. Car rides and walks are his favorite. Hes a couch potato and never leaves your side. Hes a sweet angel. He is neutered and vaccinated up to date on flea/heart worm meds and is microchipped.

I found her last October, and she’s been great ever since! But lately, it’s been tough to make time for her the way she deserves. I’m looking for someone who’s willing to take her and give her the love and care she needs.
