How can the sweet girl still be looking for her forever family? Bailey is only 3 years old, incredibly affectionate, very obedient, good with children over 7. She just wants to be the only doggie in the home. We believe this is from not being socialized as a young dog. Although, she is tolerant of other dogs on walks. If you can open your heart and your home, this girl will reward you with a lifetime of companionship. Bailey is staying in Port St. Lucie if you would like to meet her. To apply, visit lrrof.org

Please spread the word so we can find this pet's family! FOUND on August 11, 2023 in Fort Lauderdale, FL 33331 near Southwest Ranches Fl

Description: Brindle Dog,
Male intact.
The vet puts him between 6-8 years of age.
No microchip, and no collar on the dog, feels like he has a lot of scars under his neck...
He is limping, not sure if he got hurt while being out or if he has some arthritis starting.

I have a feeling he has been on the streets longer than he was reported to be roaming around before I was able to go and catch him.
I did give him a big bath and now treating a little skin infection he has. He is a happy happy dog and is looking for a new .

Jake the Jolly Jester

Jake is a very loveable 2 yr old neutered tall 88 lb male Black Lab/GreatDane mix. His health is excellent with absolutely no issues! He's extremely energetic and loves to play with his 3 foster siblings and fetch with his toys. Jake likes to be involved in everything the family does! He responds very well to praise and patience and trains well as he is highly food motivated. He also enjoys wading and splashing in the shallow water. He is very agile (can almost fold himself in half!!) Needs lots of exercise, love and attention. He loves to bark at the yard workers and is a great guard dog.

Jake is learning to walk with a "gentle leader" collar. He crates well for short times during the day and crates well at night. He knows commands such as sit, down, stay, up, and off. Also wait (when going through doorways and in/out of vehicles etc), back (back-up) and quiet. Come, all-done, shake, etc.

Perfect health
Behaves great on car rides and at the vet.
Deals well when he needs a cone collar. (Neutered)
Takes meds well - food motivated!
Great guard dog
Hugger
Snuggler
Very Affectionate
Needs mental stimulation
Loves his crate/den
Active and curious
Loves to eat
Devoted

Jake is looking for a strong loving family with previous big dog experience and a large fenced-in yard. At least one other (non-dominant) dog would help keep Jake occupied and stimulated! His foster Lab sister is his favorite playmate. Jake could be good with teenagers willing to shower him with belly rubs and hugs! He adores his human foster brothers' attention. He warms up to strangers once he gets to know them.

He is a gentle giant who adores snuggling up to the people that he loves.
Jake will melt your heart with his eyes and happy-go-lucky attitude!

In sunny South Florida so many homes have big giant beautiful windows to let all the light in.

But when you have a territorial dog, that can be a problem. As they can see every single person/dog walking near or past your home. And this can create a huge issue with barking.

The best thing to do is to never let it happen in the first place! As soon as your dog starts barking, whether you just acquired the dog or you just moved, teach your dog a quiet cue. Or block their access to the windows. Or remove the visual. And manage when you can’t be there to supervise.

It’s much easier to work on prevention of this problem rather than work on correcting it!

Meet BALOO

I am Baloo, a handsome 4 year old boy weighing approximately 100 pounds.
My favorite activity is to play fetch with a tennis ball, especially when someone throws it in the pool for me to catch. I can swim many laps, even with a ball in my mouth! I LOVE the swimming pool. I also like to play in the backyard with my foster family. I have tons of energy, I feel like I can compete with any puppy and the best part is I don’t have any accidents in the house. I jump up and down until my foster mom takes me outside. I would love a new home with a fenced in back yard and a pool!
I have a sensitive stomach and eat a special diet, but I feel good when I eat the right food. I am waiting patiently to meet my new family, looking “furward” to my “furever” home

URGENT, URGENT, URGENT! We desperately need a foster or potential adopter with no other pets for 2-year-old Bailey. This beautiful girl is sweet, but very active and can be briefly leery of strangers because she hasn't been well socialized. Bailey is strong on the leash and would benefit from a confident, knowledgeable handler who can teach her better manners. Bailey is a very nice girl who just needs the right person. If interested, please email [email protected] or go to www.grrswf.org and fill out a foster or adoption app. We will consider homes outside out area of SW and Central Florida, but still within the state, to help this girl find her place.

Meet JORDAN

Jordan is just the sweetest, mild tempered 9 year old GIRL with small child history. She is great on a leash and doesn't pay any attention to ducks or squirrels on her walks. She loves other dogs and is just fine with cats too. Jordan is in great shape and she likes the water and knows many commands!
Jordan is the total package - she will make someone very happy as their best friend! Jordan is being fostered in Cooper City - contact your adoption counselor to set up a meet & greet!
