Viola is a survivor with a heart of gold. She spent most of her life surviving on the streets of the rural Redlands, FL, relying on scraps, instinct and sheer will to make it through each day. She was surviving with her 5 siblings and other stray dogs in the same situation. But despite everything she endured, she still wags her tail when she sees a kind face. Viola is 1.5 years old, around 65lbs and full of resilience. She is cautious and a bit nervous but once she realizes she's safe, the affection begins. Her floppy ears, gentle personality and the desire to trust make her the perfect dog for someone who has experience and understanding of dogs who were not raised in a home during puppy stage. This girl need a quiet home where she will feel safe and where she can rest her head without fear. She deserves a soft bed, full bowls, and someone who will show her that not all humans walk away. She will need another dog at home so she can polish her confidence level by following another dog's lead. A 6 foot fence is required.
Viola's adoption fee is $250.
Meet Vida, a 2 year old sable beauty who was dumped with her 5 siblings in the middle of a rural road and let to survive on her own. Luckily, she was not alone or forgotten for long, she found her way to our rescue and despite the rough start in her life, including an old injury to her left eye, she has not lost her gentle spirit or desire to love and be loved. Vida is the kind of dog who is submissive and reserved when she first meets new people and new dogs but with a peaceful approach, she will be in your arms before you know it. She does have a silly side that occasionally comes out and that includes anything with water. We think it's safe to say that splashing in water is by far, her favorite activity. Since she came to us with her 5 siblings, we do prefer that she goes to a home with another well behaved dog, once that will initiate play with her but will not overwhelm her at the same time. Her adoption fee is $250.
Meet Valentina. She didn't run away, she didn't get lost. She was dumped on the side of the road in the rural area of Redlands, FL, like she didn't matter. Now, she is looking for a loving forever home where she will be cherished and cared for. Valentina is a 1.5 year old and to our knowledge, has never lived inside a home so it will be an adjustment for her and her new family, therefore we are requiring a home with another dog that she can learn from and build up her confidence. She is very shy but friendly and curious which will help her with a transition to a new home. Because of the level of her insecurity, we recommend a calm home with good energy and no young children as she would be terrified of any fast movements. Her crate is her safe place as of now, that is where she spends most of her time. She is also afraid of the leash so walks around the neighborhood are out of the question until she gets comfortable enough to walk next to her person. Her adoption fee is $250.
Valkyrie is a 2 year old gentle soul with the sweetest heart just waiting to bloom. She starts off very shy and distant but her friendly nature shines through once she feels safe and comfortable. She has not been properly socialized during the beginning stages of her life so any new noises, places, people and animals are overwhelming at first, but with a calm, patient and experienced family, she will absolutely come out of her shell. She does need some help in that department so another calm but confident dog in the household is a must.
Every day, Valkyrie takes small but brave steps forward - coming out of her crate more, leaning in for gentle pets, peeking in to the kitchen to check is there's any canned cheese being offered (that's one of her favorites) and exploring the living room with a bit more confidence than before. With guidance and reassurance, this sweet girl will turn into a loyal and affectionate companion for life.
Her adoption fee is $250.
