Save A Life Pet Rescue

01/10/2026

Have you seen my new family?
They seemed to have forgotten to come get me today.

My name is Pepper Opinions, but everyone just calls me Pepper.
I’m a beautiful 12 week old cattle dog mix with a bright mind and a heart that’s already learned how to hope. I’m smart, friendly, and eager to learn, the kind of puppy who watches closely, ready to understand what you’re asking of me.
I walk politely on a leash, staying close like I already know I belong with someone.

I’m gentle and respectful with other dogs, happy to make friends but even happier to feel safe. I’m still a baby, still learning what the world is, but I’m trying so hard to be good.

Right now, I’m waiting. Waiting for the family who will choose me and never forget me. The one who will teach me, guide me, and let me grow up knowing I’m wanted. I have so much love to give and an entire lifetime of loyalty ahead of me.
I hope my person finds me Saturday.

*Adopted*
Meet Bubble Wrap, our adorable 12 week old Shar-Pei/Lab mix boy popping with personality!

Just like his name, Bubble Wrap is impossible to ignore and ridiculously fun. He’s the kind of puppy that brings joy everywhere he goes.

Pop him outside and he turns into a goofy, happy go lucky explorer who loves to play, bounce around, and make you laugh. Bring him inside and he’s all about the snuggles, curling up tight and sleeping right on top of his human like it’s his full-time job.

Bubble Wrap is silly, sweet, and social. He does great with other dogs, is wonderful with kids, and is cat-friendly too. He’s confident without being wild, playful without being overwhelming, and always ready for affection.

And those eyes. One look and you’re done. His stunning, light colored eyes are truly eye catching and give him that extra bit of magic that makes people stop and stare.
Photos don’t lie.

Shar-Pei / Lab Mix Personality:
This mix is known for being loyal, affectionate, and family oriented. Labs bring the friendly, eager to please nature, while Shar-Peis add a calm confidence and devotion to their people. Together, they make a smart, loving companion who thrives with connection, playtime, and cozy downtime with their humans.

Bubble Wrap is ready to pop into his forever home and stick there for life.
Let’s get this sweet boy adopted Friday.

Featuring our “Wild Childs” for this weekend's event!
Two 12 week old siblings and one 12 week old singleton special force are searching for separate adoptive homes that understand high energy, working breed puppies.
These girls are active, intelligent, and thrive with structure, enrichment, and ongoing training. Apartments and condos are not suitable.
These pups need space to run, train, and burn both mental and physical energy.

Salt Attitude (F) – Cattle Dog/Aussie mix
True to her name, Salt brings bold confidence and quick thinking. She’s alert, curious, and always ready to engage, especially when there’s something new to learn.

Pepper Opinions (F) – Cattle Dog/Aussie mix
Pepper has thoughts about everything and isn’t shy about sharing them. She’s energetic, interactive, and loves problem solving games that keep her brain moving.

Vex Lightning (F) – Dutch Shepherd mix
Vex lives up to the Lightning name.
Fast, intense, and laser focused, she’s all drive and determination. This pup is constantly “on” and needs experienced, committed handling and consistent training.

Cattle Dog/Aussie Mix Traits & Needs
These mixes are intelligent, loyal, and high energy. They excel with daily exercise, structured training, and mental challenges. Without proper outlets, they can become bored and frustrated. Ongoing training is essential to help them grow into well balanced adults.

Dutch Shepherd Mix Traits & Needs
Dutch Shepherd mixes are extremely high drive, highly intelligent, and thrive with a job to do. They require advanced training, firm structure, and significant daily physical and mental work. This is not a beginner level puppy.

These pups are not for casual pet homes.
They are for adopters ready to invest time, consistency, and energy into raising confident, fulfilled working breed companions.

Can you handle the cuteness?
All of the mixed breeds are coming to the adoption event on Friday in hopes to find their new homes.

Lab/Hound mixes are typically friendly, social, and people oriented. They are curious and scent-driven, with moderate to high energy. These dogs enjoy daily walks and mental stimulation and do best with consistent, positive training. Loyal and affectionate once bonded, they make solid family companions for active homes.

One donation can be the difference between a second chance and a last goodbye.

Not all animal organizations operate the same and understanding the difference can help save lives.

Animal Controls/Shelters are often government-funded facilities that must take in animals regardless of space. Because of overcrowding and limited resources, heartbreaking decisions can sometimes be unavoidable.

Rescues like Save A Life Pet Rescue operate very differently. We are 100% donation funded and foster based.
Every dog receives medical care, time to decompress, training when needed, and the chance to heal before adoption.

Rescues step in when shelters are full, when animals are overlooked, and when time runs out.
When you adopt from a rescue, foster, donate, or share, you are directly saving lives and giving animals the second chance they deserve.

Thank you for being part of the solution!

*Adopted*
Meet Curlfriend!
Curlfriend is a 1 year old Doodle/scruffy mix of some sort with a friendly, easygoing personality.

She’s social with other dogs, does well with kids, and has not been cat tested. As an adult, she’s expected to be around 50 pounds.

Like many Doodle and mixed breed dogs, Curlfriend shows great adaptability, intelligence, and a people oriented nature.
Mixed breeds are often well rounded companions, and she fits that description well.

She enjoys being part of daily life and would do best in a home looking for a steady, affectionate dog without overly demanding needs.

Curlfriend would be a solid match for a family or individual ready to add a friendly, medium sized dog to their home.
Come meet and adopt her Friday!

Sunny is a 7 month old female Staffy/Terrier who requires an experienced, confident owner with a strong understanding of the breed and structured training.
She will be roughly 50lbs fully grown.
*Video of Sunny in the comments*

She is friendly with people but is not appropriate for a beginner home. Sunny needs clear leadership, firm boundaries, and continued training to be successful. She does resource guard with food, which must be properly managed by a knowledgeable owner.

Sunny must be the only animal in the home.
She has a strong, dominant (alpha) personality and requires an owner who can confidently manage and direct her behavior.

Sunny is not suitable for homes with children and requires an adult only household.

With an assertive, seasoned Staffy owner who understands the responsibility involved, Sunny can be a loyal, affectionate companion.

Placement will be limited to homes that can fully meet her behavioral and management needs.

We are also seeking a professional trainer or board and train facility willing to work with Sunny until her adopter is found.
Text 407.952.1037 if you would be willing to help with Sunny's training needs.

Adoption is a journey, not an overnight change.
Patience, consistency, and understanding make all the difference.

The first days, weeks, and months after adoption are a big adjustment, for both of you. That’s where the 3-3-3 Rule comes in. It helps set realistic expectations and gives your new pet the time they need to truly settle in.

What is the 3-3-3 Rule?
• First 3 Days: Decompression. Your new pet may feel overwhelmed, unsure, or withdrawn.

• First 3 Weeks: Learning routines. Trust starts to build and personality begins to emerge.

• First 3 Months: Feeling at home. Confidence grows and bonds strengthen.

Understanding this timeline can make the transition smoother and set everyone up for success.
