HARDEE is a 19 month old, 17.2 pound Chihuahua mix pup who was abandoned by a homeless person. He is looking for a special person to call his own!

Hardee is a wonderful dog! He is loving and loyal...a one-person dog! With his person, Hardee is kissy, cuddly, and sweet. He is always happy to see his foster mom and relaxes comfortably when she is out of the home. However, he is reactive to visitors and strangers. He may initially be friendly, but he's always protective and on high alert. While we do not know for sure, we believe this has something to do with his prior living situation. Hardee is 100% housebroken and loves his walks when it's cool enough. He has good energy and prefers to go on a walk than do his business in the yard (but he will). With proper introduction and an adjustment period, he can get along with other dogs that are his size. He is doing great with his new foster sister! It took a week of adjustment but now they do zoomies, hide-n-seek, tug-of-war with toys and bones, and both sleep in the big bed and share mealtimes and treats with no issues. At night, he sleeps in his dog bed in the big bed or on his own side and loves to give his foster mom a good morning cuddle when she wakes up.

Hardee has been to the vet for a wellness check, is up to date on shots, neutered, f***l tested, heartworm negative, has had a 12-month ProHeart heartworm prevention shot and is microchipped with a lifetime registration.

MORE about HARDEE: He is an affectionate dog who loves approval, learning new things, and does fine with corrections. He does well on walks but a fenced yard is a must. No kids. Not cat tested. He has storm anxiety.

To meet HARDEE, please submit an online adoption application using this link https://form.jotform.com/232395363383057 or by visiting our website www.aplaceofhoperescue.com and filling out an application on our application page. Submission of an application does not obligate you to adopt or guarantee approval. Check your spam email for responses or questions from our application review team.

We are a foster-based rescue located in Pensacola FL and adopt within a 6-hour drive to Pensacola. Local applicants will be given first consideration. Puppies and dogs with pending vet appointments and dogs with behavioral issues are local adoption only.

Pupdate...for three dogs! Slinky, Freddie, and Ziggy (in order, top row, left to right) were all adopted from us over the last couple of years! Mom and dad LOVE the breed and are amazing dog parents. These dogs truly live a fabulous life and are so well loved and spoiled. The family has become one of our favorites and their fur children are so blessed to have them.

"Here is the triple sausage update!Slinky, had his 1st Gotcha Day at end of July, Freddie joined the family almost 4 months ago and Ziggy almost 2 months. Slinky is still shy and sweet but finally is coming out of his shell and wrestling his 2 new younger brothers. Freddie is sweet and loves to play, and he is our clumsy big boy, being true to his name (Freddie Mercury) he is high maintenance and has a bark that can be heard in England lol and Ziggy is the wild child of the bunch, jumps from one side of the couch to the other like Superman and does not fear anything. They all love their older senior siblings Cosmo and Baxter, and play with them in a gentler way. We love the chaos we have now. There are so many plush and chew toys around the house we can barely walk. They all love sunbathing outside in P***O poses! They wrestle, bark and howl and pretty sure our neighbors are not happy but we are!"

REESIE is a 4 year old, 16 pound Chihuahua who was surrendered to rescue when his owner was not able to care for him. He is the best dog!

REESIE is a sweet, handsome boy! He loves to sit with his person and take naps next to then. He is a lover who loves to be petted, gives great kisses, and is a wonderful companion dog. Reesie gets along with all the small dogs in his foster home and has started playing with one of his foster siblings. Tug of War is a favorite activity and he likes playing with toys, too. He was in a home with other dogs and we think that would be great for him, but his foster mom thinks he would be okay as an only dog as long as he does not spend too much time alone. He enjoys playing with his foster mom as much as he likes to play with the dogs. He is not completely house trained but he’s doing very well and is close! He needs more work with leash training and should have a home with a fenced yard. He enjoys going out and exploring the fenced backyard at his foster home. At night he sleeps next to him foster mom under the blankets.

REESIE has been to the vet for a wellness check, is up to date on shots, neutered, f***l tested, heartworm negative, has had a 12 month ProHeart heartworm prevention shot, and is microchipped with a lifetime registration. When he came in he had double cherry eye and this is something that we typically fix. Poor Reesie had a horrible time after the surgery because he was allergic to the sutures AND to the antibiotic he got to help with the allergy! He had a month-long recovery! The surgery initially appeared to be successful, but then the cherry eye reappeared in his right eye. We are not putting him through surgery again, and our vet does not recommend it based on his allergic reactions. Whoever adopts him should understand it's something he's always going to have, but it does not bother him and it is not a health issue.

MORE about REESIE: He has not been cat or kid tested. If there are kids in the home they should be older. He will bark at people coming in the house but it only lasts for a few minutes and then he’s happy to greet them.

To meet REESIE please submit an online adoption application using this link https://form.jotform.com/232395363383057 or by visiting our website www.aplaceofhoperescue.com and filling out an application on our application page.

CONCHO is a 10 year old, 7.6 pound Chihuahua mix who was found as a starving stray. We don't know how long this poor boy was out on his own but he is grateful to be in a home where he is getting regular food and has a soft bed!

CONCHO is very snuggly and loves being with his person and giving kisses. He likes attention and is so happy in a lap! He will follow his person everywhere, and if you bring him home you will never go to the bathroom alone again! Concho is good with other small dogs, but doesn't interact with them too much. He would be fine as an only dog or with another calm dog that won't mind sharing their person's lap with a friend. Concho is potty trained but had an accident or two while learning the routine in his foster home. As soon as he got it down, he was perfect. He is ok on a leash, but since he was found as a stray we would like him to have a home with a fenced yard. He eats well and if you have another dog he will go check out their food bowls if he finishes before they do. He listens well if you tell him no though. At night, Concho will sleep in a doggy bed and if you prefer that he is in an open door crate with a doggy bed, he will be good like that too. Overall he's just a really great little dog who will be a wonderful companion for somebody looking for a quiet lap dog!

CONCHO has been to the vet for a wellness check, is up to date on shots, neutered, heartworm negative, has had a 12-month ProHeart heartworm prevention shot, and is microchipped with a lifetime registration.

MORE about CONCHO: We have no idea how he would be with cats, and if there are kids in the home they should be older since he is a senior boy and probably won't enjoy a very active home. He tends to be underfoot so he could be a trip hazard.

To meet CONCHO, please submit an online adoption application for review using this link https://form.jotform.com/232395363383057 or by visiting our website www.aplaceofhoperescue.com and filling out an application on our application page.

RAJI is a very sweet year 2 year old, 62 pound apricot Standard Poodle. He was abandoned with a friend of the rescue after she dog sat him. His silly puppy self was not a good fit for the little senior dogs in her home for him to stay there permanently.

RAJI is a big adorable puppy. He is happy, active, loving, and playful! He loves everyone he meets and thrives on attention. He would do very well with an active family and would probably love to have some older kids to play with. Raji gets along well with dogs of all sizes and loves wrestling with them. He would be fine in a home with a dog his size or smaller, but he plays too rough for a very small dog. We think his best fit is a dog that's in the 20 pound and up range. His best home will have another active dog in it. Raji loves playing fetch and will sometimes run off with the ball. He also loves playing with chew toys but they have to be really tough chew toys as he is an aggressive chewer. He loves, loves, loves to run around the backyard and play and we are looking for a home with a privacy fenced yard. He also loves car rides and long walks. He does require a firm hand when walking as he is distracted easily, but he redirects fairly quickly. He is very treat motivated. Raji is completely housebroken and will let himself out the doggie door or let you know when he wants to go out by coming to you and laying his head on you. If you ignore and just pat him, he will bark and tell you its time! At night he will sleep in a dog bed or a kennel.

RAJI has been to the vet for a wellness check, is up to date on shots, neutered, heartworm negative, has had a 12-month ProHeart heartworm prevention shot, and is microchipped with a lifetime registration.

MORE about RAJI: Please figure in the cost of regular grooming to his care. He is easy to groom and seems to enjoy brushing but is a little hesitant around his feet. He is very smart and learned to use the doggie door in about 2 hours. He has not been cat-tested.

To meet RAJI, please submit an online adoption application for review using this link https://form.jotform.com/232395363383057 or by visiting our website www.aplaceofhoperescue.com and filling out an application on our application page.

Prayer request 🙏 Betsy Ross (the apricot poodle) was adopted from us in 2021. She is a very loved and sweet little girl who traveled a rough road before she found her forever home. Mom messaged us yesterday with some bad news and asked for healing prayers for the little girl she loves so much. We know we can count on our followers to come through with them for her!

"Got some medical news on Betsy Ross. Vet appt Wednesday revealed 1 lb weight loss since Sept 20; bloodwork shows serious problems with liver and mild kidney issues; ultrasound found lots of sludge in gallbladder.

Meds started and liver support diet has been ordered. God is leading this journey but prayers for healing would be appreciated.

Little Hercules cuddled up with her this morning, which he’s never done before. He knows something’s wrong with her."

JUDGE is a super adorable 2 year old, 6.14 pound Toy Fox Terrier who was surrendered to us after being purchased from a breeder and returned, no fault of his.

Judge is a fabulous little guy! He can be timid with new people but he is coming out of his shell nicely. When he sees that you want to pick him up, he'll kind of shy away at first, but then he'll go ahead and let you pick him up without any problem. He is not a snuggly, kissy dog at this point, but we hope he will get to that point once he has a real family of his own. He will go into an open door kennel if he feels nervous and peeks out with his cute little face 😍 Even though he can be timid, Judge is a happy boy who enjoys being part of a household. He has not really interacted much with the other dogs in his foster home yet, but there are a lot of dogs there and he's a little guy, so it's likely that he's intimidated. He likes other dogs and would do well with another small, calm dog in his new family. He does really well with house training if you stay on a good schedule. He has marked, but that is not unusual for a male dog in a new home, especially with a lot of other dogs who have marked before him! He has not figured out how to use a doggy door yet. Because Judge can be hesitant in new situations he would benefit from a fenced in yard. He likes to run around outside and check things out, including squirrels and birds! He will run after toys in the yard but doesn't bring them back. At night, he sleeps in the bed with the other dogs or in a dog bed.

JUDGE has been to the vet for a wellness check, is up to date on shots, neutered, is heartworm negative, has had a 12 month ProHeart heartworm prevention shot, and is microchipped with a lifetime registration.

MORE about JUDGE: He has not been around cats or kids since we've had him. He's pretty quiet and doesn't sit and bark, but if the others start barking he will add his voice!

To meet JUDGE, please submit an online adoption application for review using this link https://form.jotform.com/232395363383057 or by visiting our website www.aplaceofhoperescue.com and filling out an application on our application page.

We are not making this up...

It's National Slobber Appreciation Day!!! It's a day to honor and appreciate the slobbery, wet, and sometimes messy companions that are dogs.

Some ways to celebrate National Slobber Appreciation Day include:

Sharing photos of your slobbery dog 😉

Admiring the distance your dog can fling their slobber when they shake their head 🥴

Carrying a towel to deal with the slobber 😏

It's a real thing!

*LOCAL ADOPTION ONLY*
BLAZE, MAPLE, SMOKY and SPICE are 8 week old mixed breed puppies who were surrendered from a bad situation to help them find good homes. They currently weigh between 7 and 8 pounds and should be medium sized dogs fully grown. Their parentage is unclear. There were three mama dogs and between them they had 16 puppies living under a house.

BLAZE is curious about everything and loves to play. He will come see his foster mom briefly before bouncing off to check out something interesting or to play with one of his littermates.

MAPLE is a beautiful girl with one brown eye and one blue eye. Her coat also has a slightly silver tint to it. She's a little shy with people, likes other dogs and is very adventurous and likes to explore.

SMOKY is a friendly, playful, sweet boy. He loves to explore and play and enjoys cuddles and kisses in between wrestling matches and napping with his littermates.

SPICE is the most affectionate of the puppies and seeks attention the most. She is smart, friendly girl who likes snuggles and playtime equally!

Blaze, Maple, Smoky, and Spice love to play with big dogs and small. They are typical puppies who like to dig and chew and play and wrestle with each other. They are all sweet pups who will be great family dogs. Their foster mom is starting them on potty training and reports that they are doing very well! They have a puppy pen inside to keep them safe when they cannot be supervised and for sleeping at night. (We always recommend a puppy pen if you have a puppy in your home!)

The puppies have been to the vet for a wellness check, have had two sets of puppy shots, have been f***l tested and wormed, and are microchipped with a lifetime registration. The third set of shots is covered by the rescue and their spay/neuters will be scheduled at one of our vets when they are old enough. Those procedures are covered by the rescue. Because they have pending vet appointments they are local adoption only which is within a one hour drive to Pensacola.

If you are interested in giving one of these puppies a home, please submit an online adoption application for review by using this link https://form.jotform.com/232395363383057 or by visiting our website www.aplaceofhoperescue.com and filling out an application on our application page.

Still here!!! LIL MAN is a sweet 3 year old, 17.9 pound mixed breed pup who was surrendered because his owner was unable to care for him anymore. He is such a happy boy with a cute curly tail!

Lil Man is very loving! He is always tail waggy and open to meet everyone. He likes to give kisses, and belly rubs make him happy and wiggly! He loves following his foster mom around everywhere and jumps right up next to her as soon as she sits down. He loves attention and affection. He has good energy and would love an active family. Lil Man does really well with other dogs and likes to play with them. He came in with another dog and would be best with a smaller dog friend who will run and explore with him. Lil Man uses a doggie door and is doing very well with his potty training. At night, he sleeps in bed curled up next to his person.

Lil Man has been to the vet for a wellness check, is up to date on shots, neutered, f***l tested, heartworm negative, has had a 12-month ProHeart heartworm prevention shot and is microchipped with a lifetime registration.

MORE about LIL MAN: Leash trained, but a fenced yard is preferred. He's intimidated by bigger dogs, is not cat-tested, and is good with older kids (12+).

To meet LIL MAN, please submit an online adoption application using this link https://form.jotform.com/232395363383057 or by visiting our website www.aplaceofhoperescue.com and filling out an application on our application page.

Pupdate! Falling under the category of too cute to not share... Gadget and her littermates were born in a shelter a few years ago. We were contacted about the litter and pulled them (along with mom and dad) out as soon as possible because shelters are no places for puppies! Gadget's family applied for a different puppy in the litter but after we reviewed their application we thought that her sweet and sassy personality was a better fit for them and we suggested her instead. It was a perfect match and they love her! Mom sent us a message recently with a comparison photo. The top left pic is from her original APOH post and the bottom picture is her now at a little over 3 years old!

"Not much has changed! This little rascal still climbs on everything she can. I should have known when her rescue photo was up on top of something. 😆"

We would like to direct you to the fact that Eeyore is giving us his best looking-for-love photo! He is a lover and we want him to have a home where he is loved more than anything in the world! After the horrible treatment we believe he had based on his condition, it's so important to us that he is loved and wanted for the rest of his life. We cannot tell you how special he is and we are looking for a family deserving of him!

EEYORE is a 5-7 year old, 54 pound Standard Poodle mix who came to us in terrible condition with a bad skin infection, eye infection, horrible ear infection, and broken, rotted teeth... but look at him now!

EEYORE is one of the most loving dogs you could ever hope to meet! He wants pats and scratches and hugs and kisses all the time. He lays his head in your lap and will stay there as long as you let him. He was clearly starved for attention before we got him and he wants as much affection as he can get. He loves people and is friendly with everyone he meets. Eeyore is good with other dogs of all sizes, but he doesn't like dogs that get in his face and give him a hard time. He will stand his ground if that happens. He would be fine in a home with other dogs or as an only dog as long as he gets lot of human attention. That's his primary goal in life! Eeyore has not kid tested, but based on his easygoing and lovable personality, we think he would be fine with kids 10+. He likes to go outside and hang out in the shade and we want him to have a home with a fenced yard. He uses a doggy door and has never had any accidents in his foster home. At night he sleeps in a big fluffy dog bed that he can stretch out on!

Eeyore has been to the vet for a wellness check and several follow up exams due to his condition when he came in. He is up to date on shots, neutered, f***l tested, heartworm negative, has had a 12 month ProHeart heartworm prevention shot and is microchipped with a lifetime registration.

MORE about EEYORE: He is the sweetest dog! He loves his people so much. In the morning and the evening he likes to go outside and patrol the yard and will alert to a stranger or unfamiliar sounds with big, deep woofs. He is not a fan of cats and will jump at them.

If you would like to meet Eeyore we ask that you first submit an online adoption application for review using this link https://form.jotform.com/232395363383057 or by visiting our website www.aplaceofhoperescue.com and filling out an application on our application page.

ALFIE is a 1 year old, 8.1 pound Terrier mix that was surrendered by his owner due to a housing situation. He is a loving, friendly boy who loves his people and loves adventure! He will make the most wonderful best friend for a very lucky human!

ALFIE is an energetic little sweetheart! He wants to be with his person as much as possible and does not like to be alone. He would be so happy with someone who will take him everywhere. He would especially love an active family for outings, like hiking and boating. He has been kayaking with his foster mom and loved it! He loves to be held, is the ultimate lap dog, and gives kisses freely. He is always by his foster mom, unless he's playing with the other dogs, big or small! He was in a home with another little dog and would be happy with a furry friend in his new home. But he would also be happy as an only dog with a family who could spend a lot of time with him! Alfie was not housebroken when he came in but his foster mom has been working with him. He is in a home with several other male dogs and occasionally does mark where another dog has marked. A home with a fenced yard is preferred. At night he sleeps snuggled under the covers with his foster mom.

Alfie has been to the vet for a wellness check, is up to date on shots, neutered, heartworm negative, has had a 12-month ProHeart heartworm prevention shot, and is microchipped with a lifetime registration.

MORE about ALFIE: Alfie doesn't share food and guards treats. We have not had him around cats or kids, but there were older kids in his prior home and he was fine with them. He can be barky when left alone but we believe that will stop once he knows his people are coming back for him!

To meet ALFIE please submit an online adoption application for review using this link https://form.jotform.com/232395363383057 or by visiting our website www.aplaceofhoperescue.com and filling out an application on our application page.

PEACHES is HOME ❤️ We had a pupdate planned for today but everyone loves a successful dog recovery story! We wanted to share the details and give a huge thanks to all of you who shared Peaches' lost dog posts, went out looking for her, contacted the owner with sightings, and generally supported the efforts. Thanks to all of the reported sightings, we had pinpointed a location, a permanently closed business, where she had been staying in a breezeway and had been seen several times. We had her owner put a blanket and food there and were working on a plan to secure the fence (there were several spots that she could easily go in and out) so we could go in and get her. We were a little nervous because we had seen her at that same place Saturday afternoon, but she took off when she realized that we spotted her and we lost sight of her. We were also concerned that she had crossed Barrancas, but this morning one of our volunteers, who lives right down the street, saw her again in the exact same location. We were getting ready to head down there when the owner got several calls that she had been seen at Sanders Beach and then another call that she was at the Yacht Club. Our volunteer, Sherri, immediately went to the Yacht Club. When she got there, Peaches went on a dock and two guys ran to it and started walking towards her and blocked her. Our volunteer and another lady who was there with a leash got behind them to kind of form a wall if she chose to run. They all stooped down and the guys slowly approached her when she got to the end of the dock. They got close enough to put a leash around her, passed her off to Sherri and the owner went to Sherri's house to pick her up! She was so excited to see Mom (even though she ran right by her on Saturday) and she wiggled and whined and wagged her tail like crazy. She doesn't seem to be hurt, she's just absolutely exhausted and a little hungry! We did not get the names of the people who called her owner or both of the gentlem

Pupdate! We think Thumbelina's Mom may need an intervention! This dog has a wardrobe better than most people we know! Thumbelina came to us a little over a year ago....a rambunctious 2 pound Pomeranian puppy with a congenital heart defect. Our vet and local cardiologist suggested heart surgery for her. Without it she probably wouldn't have lived past her first birthday. Even with the surgery she was not expected to live a very long life but her mom wanted to do everything she could to give her a chance. Thumbelina's surgery was successfully performed at LSU and she is still going strong as one of the most loved and spoiled little dogs! She goes everywhere with her mom and everyone wants to love on her! "She just had her 6 month cardiology appt and even through her heart is still enlarged, she’s not symptomatic and there is no change which is great. In February she will be celebrating her 2nd Birthday! She has lived longer than the specialists expected already. We enjoy every day and don’t dwell on the shortened life span that she may have."

Pupdate! We wanted to share a hi from Puddin'! She is a happy little girl! Mom says she's doing great and the last burn has completely closed up!!! She is loving her new home, bugs her fursiblings to play with her and her tail is always wagging! It was so worth it- the money, the procedures, the feeding tube, her ruptured eye, the times we thought she might not make it, the tears, the time, the work our vet team put into researching options and doing treatments, the vet visits back and forth, the innumerable bandage changes...all worth it to see this. ❤️❤️❤️

Pupdate! As you know we are particular about dog placement. We observe our dogs carefully and put them in the homes that we think are best suited for their personalities and energy levels, and history, too. Not everyone agrees with our process, especially if they are being denied to adopt a dog they want. But we hold firm for a reason! One of the requirements that we had for Chance (the dark pup) was that he had a playful dog friend in his new home. We received a lot of applications for him from people who did not have other dogs, and some of them got very upset when we would not approve their applications for him. Yes, dogs can adapt. But who would deny this absolute joy? Chance and his poodle brother, Gunner, have played almost non-stop since his adoption! They are best friends and wrestle and play and chase each other all day long. Dad says they play themselves to sleep! Chance and his fur brother are so happy to have each other and his family is thrilled with how well the two dogs are getting along. This is why we do what we do, this is what we held out for. Happy Tails, Chance!

A Place of Hope Small Dog Rescue (formerly Flori Bama Small Breed Rescue) is a nonprofit small dog rescue located in the Pensacola, Florida area. We are foster based which means all of our dogs are kept in private homes through adoption. We do not have a facility. The advantage of a foster-based rescue is that we are able to observe and interact with the dogs in a home environment and learn what type of home they are best suited for based on their individual personalities and needs. We specialize in small breeds and the majority of our dogs are 15 pounds and under. We rescue and rehome shelter dogs, stray dogs, and owner surrendered dogs. All different breeds and ages come through our doors! We make sure they receive a full check up at the vet, are up to date on shots, rabies vaccinated, heartworm tested and on prevention, parasite tested and treated, spayed and neutered, and microchipped with a lifetime registration. We also take care of any other medical care necessary while they are with us, such as dentals, eye, ear, and skin infections, tumor removals, etc. We hold weekly adoption events in Pensacola and also do one-on-one meet and greets with approved applications. Our adoption process includes an adoption application, a vet reference, and a home check. Our adoption fees range from $200-350 and we adopt most dogs within a two hour driving radius from Pensacola. Longer distance applications may be considered on a case by case basis. Puppies stay local (within an hour drive of Pensacola) to ensure they get all sets of puppy shots and their spay/neuter and rabies vaccine when they are old enough. We are not a “first come, first served” rescue. We work hard to match a dog to the applicant that best fits a dog’s individual personality and needs. We make a promise to each dog who comes through our rescue that we will find it the best furever home. They came to rescue for a reason. As their advocates we try to make sure they leave us to become happy, well-cared for, and loved members of a new family!
