Story
    This is Diego. He's an 11 month old Aussie mix that needs a foster home. He was a "free dog" online and the original owners did not represent him honestly with the new owners. Things are not working out and he needs to be properly placed (after full vetting). He is scheduled dor neuter on Tuesday. We hope to have a foster in place by then. He's great with his people and FEMALE dogs. His behavior around cats is unknown because the family does not have cats. There was a pretty bad fight between Diego and the senior male dog in this family. Since the fight the family has been distrusting of his behavior around the four-year-old as well so to be safe they have kept them separate. This is why he has to go. For this reason, we do not want him fostered with male dogs until he has been vetted and properly evaluated. We also do not feel that he should be placed in a home with young children until vetting and evaluation. He's a beautiful boy and deserves a happily ever after. We can help him find it!! It may well be he just needs his testosterone to be taken care of. Many dogs settle down after neuter and it's never fair to these animals when the original owners do not divulge all the information to the new owners. We feel this is a combination of situations that has just worked against Diego. Foster application can be filled out through this link: https://petstablished.com/foster_form/31711/generic If you fill out a foster application please give our director a heads up as we do not have a volunteer readily responding to applications at this time. It helps us to know that one has been submitted. You may text Aspen at 352-843-6858 ##1357659##

Story
Buccee had to leave the family farm. He was caught harming a goat a few months ago and he had to go live with next of kin. He never bothered the horses or the poultry but he really caused some injury to a pygmy goat. She did survive but Buccee was (understandably) evicted. The next of kin has tried so hard to keep Buccee but he is just not well matched to the dynamics of their home or their life. It's not working for anyone. Especially not Buccee. He deserves the RIGHT home!So, let's talk about how AWESOME Buccee is! He is a 2 year old Australian Shepherd. He lives with and ADORES a 7 month old and a 4 year old (human children). He gets along great with the other dogs and the 3 cats. He is crate trained and loves people so much! He is fully vetted and very loving. Buccee is looking for a home on a farm.  Horses and dogs ok.  Buccee likes to be a working dog and loves to help out on the farm during the day and be a loving dog at night. ##2311025##

Story
Meet Samantha aka Sam! This is THE puppy for any dog sports you might have in mind. She is high energy but super biddable and smart as a whip. Sam is one of a litter of puppies we have here after rescuing their mom. Her nickname has always been 'Adventure Pup' and she was the first to do everything. On top of that she is super sweet and loves human interaction. We have to admit, even though all of them are hard to give up, Sam is definitely the hardest! Sam is looking for a home that understands Australian Shepherds and/or Border Collies and has the time and energy to work with her. Obedience will be a must for this smart busy baby! We will be very picky for this pup but know the right home will get an incredible girl. Sam was born 11/24/2024 has had her first vaccines (she will be due for her second set in late Feb) and is microchipped. She will come with a mandatory spay agreement requirement due to being too young to spay currently.

Zoeie was still born and has some behavioral issues. She has one eye that has nystagmus. She likes to go in circles all the time. Zoeie can be very loving, but must be introduced slowly to new people. She is gorgeous and needs someone who understands the breed and is willing to work with her.

Story
Gabby and Spice are bonded “sister and brother”. Gabby is an 8-year-old Blue Merle Australian Shepherd weighing 42 pounds and Spice is a 6-year-old long hair Chihuahua mix weighing 20 pounds. They were thrown out of their home when their owner moved and just left them. They lived outdoors for over a month ☹. The neighbor was feeding them and she reached out to us to take them. They are friendly, affectionate and pretty much stay to themselves. They are not fully house-trained yet so they do need a fenced-in yard. The original owner had a child so they probably are kid-friendly. They have not been cat-tested. The adoption donation for the pair is $500 which includes their spay/neuter, vaccinations, microchip. They are waiting for their Forever Home so please come to meet them. https://www.aforeverhomeanimalrescue.org/store/p35/Gabby_%26_Spice.html We are only able to adopt within the state of Florida. We have a page on our website that explains our adoption process, and contains a link to our adoption application. Here is the link: https://www.aforeverhomeanimalrescue.org/adoption-information.html

Story
Milo is bonded with another dog. Dakota, a female Australian Shepherd. Both dogs were purchased from breeders. Milo (male, 2yrs 8mths) is very active, super friendly and loveable. We've have them both since they were 8 weeks old. Milo is pedigree certified, Dakota is not but both are full bred. Dakota (female, 2yrs 7mths) is very mellow, gentle and timid. She can also be protective but not in an aggressive way. They are a good balance to each other as they have very different personalities. Both love going for walks, treats and outside time. They are both understand basic commands, sit, stay, crate, come, and no lol. Currently there are 4 children in my home and one is an infant and both dogs are great with all of the kids. They are really beautiful dogs and great pets. I'm just not able to keep them. Prefer to keep them together https://www.adoptapet.com/pet/43645992-groveland-florida-australian-shepherd-mix

Story
Gemini Zod is a charismatic Aussie mix with a unique blend of charm and energy. This adorable pup came to us initially shy and scared, but it took just a couple of days for him to reveal the true star within. Gemini Zod has transformed into an outgoing and charismatic companion. His big personality shines through, bringing joy and laughter to those around him. Gemini Zod enjoys an extremely active lifestyle. His love for walking, chasing after a ball, and indulging in some bone-chewing sessions is truly delightful to witness. But the real show-stopper is when he decides it's time for zoomies – his playful sprints and twists are guaranteed to bring a smile to your face. Gemini Zod is seeking a home that appreciates his lively spirit and is ready to provide the love and engagement he craves.  HE IS EXTREMELY PEOPLE SELECTIVE AND MUST GO TO A VERY EXPERIENCED ADOPTER. PLEASE NOTE: All your current pets must be spayed/neutered, vaccinated and on heartworm prevention to adopt from Polka Dogz. We only adopt in Florida. All adoption fees go to help all the dogs in the rescue, some of which require extensive medical care. Thank you for caring for the greater good. Adoption fee is $450 and you can adopt me at WWW.POLKADOGZ.ORG ##2048458##
