Orlando, FL - Dog needs rescue/adoption ASAP!

This is Scarface. What an unfit name for such a sweet dog! Scarface is a 1 year old brindle and white male Pit Bull mix. According to workers, he's so happy and full of life! He seems to LOVE everyone! He walks very well on a leash and would make a great companion for anyone, including single people or families! He was originally listed as fearful and seemed somewhat shy, but once he was able to come out and play, he was literally bouncing and prancing around the yard, enjoying play time with humans and other dogs. He is housebroken.

Scarface's last day was supposed to be Thursday, January 22; however, because a rescue worker likes him so much, they've managed to extend his time to this Saturday, January 24th. If not adopted or pulled by a rescue group by this time, he will be euthanized.

$200 has been donated to cover the cost of his heartworm treatment, because he unfortunately tested positive. This can and will be fixed with the treatment this donation will provide, if only someone will save him from death first.

Scarface is located at the Orange County Animal Services in Orlando, FL. TRANSPORTATION ASSISTANCE FOR THE DOG MIGHT BE AVAILABLE! Please contact the below email addresses as well as Debra.Villella@ocfl.net if you are not from the immediate area and would like to save this boy. I have a link to rescue transport services and groups on the left hand side of the blog.

If you are interested in adopting or rescuing Scarface, please contact ALL OF THE FOLLOWING:

Remember, even if you cannot physically help Scarface, you can help by passing this on to someone else.

Orlando, FL - Dogs, puppies need adopt/rescue URGENT!

Animal ID: A127783 Room No.: WD43

Hi, my name is Scar face. I am an approximately 1 year 2 month old brown and black brindle male Pit Bull-Mix. I am listed as shy and was very fearful at first. Once the shelter workers started playing with me, I was bouncing and prancing around the yard! The workers say I'm always smiling and seem like a really nice dog! Wouldn't you like to be my playmate and make me smile? I'm housebroken and walk great on a leash!

Animal ID: A127809 Room No.: WD53

Hi, I am an approximately 5 month old black and white male Pit Bull-Mix. I'm a sweet, playful pup! Please give me the chance to grow big and strong...and to know what it feels like to be loved. The workers here say I'm pretty laid back for a puppy, a little on the shy side. I just need some TLC. They also say I have tons of potential! I'm housebroken and walk on the leash well.

Animal ID: A127683 Room No.: WD36

Hi, I'm Trina, a 2-year-old female black and white Labrador Retriever. I am shy, but once I spend a little time with you, I cling to your side and don't want to be away from you. It's very apparent that I want to be a good girl, if someone would just show me what they want. I need an understanding home that's full of TLC. I will be a loyal companion forever.

These dogs are located at Orange County Animal Services in Orlando, Florida. Their time is VERY LIMITED. Their last day is Tuesday, January 20th. They must be adopted or pulled by a rescue VERY SOON, or they will be euthanized. The shelter has MANY other animals (cats, kittens, dogs, bunnies, etc.) in need of adoption. To check out the other furry friends waiting for a forever home, visit the Orange County Animal Services site.

Orlando, FL - Sweet dog needs adoption/rescue ASAP!

A fellow rescuer is asking that someone please find it in their heart to adopt this dog into your family and home or pull this dog if you are part of a no-kill rescue. She is listed as a 10-year-old Chow Chow mix, but this rescuer believes she is likely some sort of Shepherd mix. She is heartworm positive, but that can be treated. She's gentle and oh so loving. But don't worry, she still has some zest and play in her too! She loves to run around the yard when taken outside. She was so scared when she first arrived at the shelter on December 30th. She just seemed to sit in her little kennel and wish for a home, but nobody has offered. She's a gem and would make a perfect companion for sooooo many families. She's so gentle and would be great with kids. She loves to have her back massaged and to just sit by your side as a faithful companion.

This angel of a dog is located at Orange County Animal Services in Orlando, Florida.

Please help this sweet dog. She only has until today, Saturday, at 2pm to be adopted or rescued!

If you can help this dog, please contact the shelter at (call & email both addresses!):

Tallahassee, FL - Orphan pups need foster/rescue URGENT

These little puppies are now orphans. Their mother was shot by three horrible, despicable, worthless young people and then crawled away from the puppies and into the woods to die. The three murderers then kicked the pups and tossed them into the air and let them hit the ground. They thought they had killed one, so they tossed it under an abandoned trailer. A woman caught them and threatened them with a baseball bat, after which the men ran. She called the cops and animal control, but neither showed up. She took in the pups and tried to find somewhere for them to go. Thankfully, a vet recommended she contact a caring animal lover, who did agree to take the pups in. The puppies are now staying with this temporary foster mother, but she is looking for other caring foster homes and or rescues to help her.
There are 6 pups total - 5 girls & 1 boy. They are only about 2.5 weeks old.

If anyone in the Tallahassee/Quincy area is willing to lend a helping hand and take on one of these adorable babies, please contact Bonnie at: bbbrinson4u@aol.com

Miami, FL - Dog family needs new homes!

This beautiful family of White Shepherd dogs is looking for a new home(s). Mom, dad, and puppies need to find new homes in 6 weeks time! Mom and dad were taken in by an animal rescuer, but were not spayed/neutered. The result is this adorable litter of 8 puppies! It is uncertain whether or not the mom and dad are purebred White Shepherds, but they look pretty close. The pups are about 2 weeks old now. They will all need to find homes once they are 8 weeks old. Rescuers would really like to get homes lined up for as many as possible in advance. More importantly, mom and dad need homes as well. All dogs can be adopted separately or in multiples. All will be spayed/neutered before being adopted out.

If you are interested in adopting one or more of these dogs, please contact:

This gorgeous gal is Lovely Lola! If there's any dog in the entire shelter that would make a perfect family pet, it's Lola.

Jackonsville, FL - Skinny, injured dog needs rescue URGENT!

This poor girl was rescued by a Good Samaritan from an overpass. The dog was obviously lost, scared, and desperate. It is obvious she is fresh from weaning puppies (probably prematurely). She is emaciated and has some cuts and scrapes. Absolutely nothing else is known about this girl, but it is suspected she's has a horrible life thus far. The dog's rescuer has only had her for a few short hours, but she has been completely sweet and obedient the entire time. The rescuer is not in a situation to keep the dog, but she did take the dog to the vet. The vet suggested taking the dog to the local animal control facility, but that is basically a death sentence. All no-kill rescues in the area are beyond full.
Hopefully someone has a connection out there who can help. Please pass this on to anyone you know that might be able to help.

If you can help this dog or know someone who can, please contact Carly at: carly2k@comcast.net

Jacksonville, FL - Adorable dog in desperate need of rescue/adoption!

A rescue worker is desperate to find this sweet little dog a home. She doesn't have much time left! The dog is a female. She is very sweet and kind with everyone. She only weighs about 7 lbs! She has some heavy tartar (which can probably be cleaned), and some vision problems (bilateral cataracts), but these are no reasons she shouldn't have a loving home!
She is located at the Jacksonville Animal Control facility in Jacksonville, FL.

If you are interested in rescuing (pulling) or adopting this adorable girl, please contact:
