My story: 11.09 Hi I am Lucky. I am a young handsome boy. I was adopted last year. I dont know why my last home didn't work out but my foster family says its for the best. See, my adopters did not do everything they promised St. Francis and they let me get sick. I have heartworms. I hear its completely preventable with a once a month yummy treat I can eat! But, I didn't get the yummy treats. So, now my fosters are going to take me for treatment. It is treatable thankfully! I guess my family didn't have the money to care for me and gave me up. I know its not that I am bad because I was VERY good. You can read my original story below. My foster parents are very devoted to me and will make sure my next home is the best! Hope its you. 11.08 I was rescued by a nice family and am enjoying my 2 Jack Russell house mates. You can see by my big happy face that I am a happy-go-lucky guy. My foster Dad is taking me to this really fun place for some training. He says I am a bright easy student and will make someone a super forever companion. Take the time to meet me! You will find I am quite friendly.

My story: Jaxson deserves a better life. Poor boy was dumped off on a street and he made his way to a store front where he slept for 10hours due to his pitiful condition and stress level. The WHOLE thing was caught on video! He is a beautiful sweet black and white mix breed. He needs someone who understands and can work with dogs who are shy and timid to new things. Hi, I am Jaxson. I am one good looking bulldog mix. Very strong and well put together. I was battered and bruised when my foster mama took me in. Now I live on her farm while waiting my forever home. I need a home that will understand I can be shy with strangers and still need to learn how to be a dog. I just want to play with others but not sure how to do it but I wag my tail. I am good with the farm life but I get too excited around cats so we are looking for a no-cat home for me. I need a patient loving person to give me confidence, exercise and a comfy place to nap. I am a good boy who needs a 2nd chance! My pictures dont do me justice, I am a very nice looking dog with a striking bulldog head and build. My black and white markings are very pretty. I am worth a closer look! An added plus: if I'm yours; I am already microchipped, UTD on shots, HW negative and neutered! Needs an adult caring and calm home.

My story: Bella was abandoned along with her sister Penny. She and her sister were left for more than a week without food, water or shelter during the coldest days of the year. Once picked up by the local authorities and after a period of time they were due to be euthanized. The caring neighbor who had reported their abandonment decided to adopt them, care for them and find them forever loving homes. Due to his and his fiance's care, these sweet babies are learning basic commands and being socialized. They have all of their shots, have been spayed and are microchipped. They've been given a clean bill of health by two vets. Their foster parents say, "Despite their sad beginnings, they are very sweet towards people and crave kindness and attention." Bella is completely house trained and crate trained. Her foster mom says she loves belly rubs and acts like quite the "girly girl." She is content to lay down, relax and take in the whole world around her. Bella is just waiting for the right home--a loving, attentive forever home. To meet Bella or for more information, call 813-943-1474, 813-690-3806 or WVUFanx2@gmail.com.

My story: Lucy was found in March 2010 roaming around a neighborhood. She was cold and wet! She likes to play but her favorite thing to do is to snuggle up on the couch with us and watch TV. She really is a love bug! She gets a long great with our Boxer, Chihuahua, and 2 cats. We had her at an adoption event and she was awesome with kids. She is still young so she does have some puppy tendencies. She jumps up when she first sees you but quickly calms down. We’re working on it. She is an awesome pooch! Phone: 813-526-9117

My story: Hello there new mom and dad! My name is Cheri and you will just love me once you meet me. I am very smart and energetic. I love to please, except when chasing squirrels as they're my friends. I am only 34 lbs, but should be about 40. I was originally adopted from Citrus County a couple of years ago and then given away because I was a puppy and too energetic for my former pet parents. Recently, Citrus County Animal Services found me in the overnight drop off area. My foster mom doesn't understand why I was dumped. She thinks I am such a good and loving girl. Please click on the button since I KNOW you want to meet me and adopt me. My tail is wagging and I'm waiting to hear from you!

My story: I am a a very active fun little dog. I would love to go to a family that has many children that want love to play with me. I am super playful. I was rescued by my foster mom from a very bad situation in Minnessota. Then, my foster mom's brother adopted me; however, because he is so busy right now, he can't play with me all the time anymore. He feels that I would be happier if I went to a family who has children with lots of energy like me. I am very loving as well. I get along with other dogs and cats. I get a little loud when someone knocks on the door or rings the door bell, but that comes with my breed. I am up to date with my vaccines and everything else. Please, give me a chance to show how loving and playful I can be. Baby J. Foster mom's contact information: Priscila Hancock (501)442-2684 and/or email: pri2jer4ever@gmail.com

My story: See my black mask? I am Zack not Zorro. Well I was found wandering the streets looking for you. Someone thought I needed help to find you so they sent me to place called animal services. Then thank goodness someone at St. Francis saw my picture and knew they had to pull me out of there. I will be the first to admit I have not been taught a lot of manners but I am learning and will do just about anything for a treat. I do very well in my house (crate) and I don't bark or fret. I have learned to sit, shake and lay down. All of this in just one week! I did have one potty accident but they say that is not bad for as young as I am. When I was on the streets I had to be a tough guy, not easy for me since I really am a softy. So, I am learning how to just be around other dogs. I will be a big boy, read that as a big lovable lap dog. I really just want someone to love. I love kids, love to chase cats (working on that), love a peanut butter kong or anything I can chew on. I am just waiting for you...... So come and get me! Do not call but press on the "adopt me" button for more info. or email. They cant answer the phone and I cant either so do not call.

My story: I am young, happy go lucky and quite handsome as well. I was adopted three months ago but something happened and I found myself wandering around my foster family’s parking lot late at night, my foster Mom tried very hard to find my first owner, but to no avail. So I am looking for a forever loving home again. I love my foster home and their older dog Ruben, when I first saw him I knew I was going to be OK. My foster Mom takes me swimming, running and wrestling with other dogs at the puppy park which I love very much and need because I have lots of energy. I also can be very mellow, I love to cuddle, I am smart and a quick learn. I love going on walks with my foster Mom and foster dog Ruben; on our walks I love saying hi to everyone and just think life is great. My foster family is very devoted to me and will make sure I only go to the very best of forever loving homes. If you are that family I can’t wait to meet you. I did try and chase a stray cat (I'm sorry) but I might learn to be good with them. I want to be good... so thats a start. Not recommended for home with children under the age of 10 yrs old by the SPCA Please do not phone. You must email or click on the site if you want me. No phone calls. Do this right for me, ok?

My story: I look like a living teddy bear. I'm very affectionate with people and playful with dogs. I was found deserted at a dog park by my former family. I was messy but gorgeous now. I received all my shots and a chip so I wont go missing again.. With the guidance of a bossy foster sister, I am learning fast. I'm crate-trained and house-trained, and no accidents in the house! I go out through the dog door and give an alert bark if in my crate and need to go out. I'm still a puppy, love to chew, but only my chew toys. I'm healthy and happy and will make someone a great family addition. I'm very gentle and love attention, but pretty happy to just lie around on a cool floor. I have been nothing but an angel since being brought into this foster home. I have deep alert bark that's pretty scary if you don't know the puppy behind it. Everyone loves me. How could you not love that face? Dont phone but email or click the site if you want me. I am thinking about a road trip soon so please get your request in fast so I keep you on the short list.

My story: I am in good health. I am looking for a home since my mom had a stroke and her daughter (two legger) would not take us with. I am house trained and love to hang out with my human. I dont need/ or want to be with my sister Muffin since I do not particularly like her. I would be fine in a single dog household or even one other dog. I do have food issues since I was starving a bit before my foster mom took me in. I love to be held and loved and groomed.

My story: I was found walking the streets with no visible identification, abandoned and scared. When my rescuer found me she cleaned me up, took me to the vet and put me on Comfortis to help with my skin issue and TADA.... I am growing my hair back. I like everyone and everything, but can be shy at first. You would be too if you had been abandoned. When I was introduced to a cat I was interested but not aggressive. My rescuer, who calls herself a "cat person" has fallen in love with me. She marvels at how well-mannered I am, that I know basic commands, I'm crate trained as well as housetrained. I was neutered in July and the vet says I'm in good health. If you're interested in adopting me and providing a fabulous forever home, please complete an adoption application to get the process started. The first step will be a meet-and-greet and we'll go from there.

My story: I was found at a gas station around midnight, starving, skin/bones, hairless on my lower back, the skin on my stomach was bright red and swollen with sores. I had puppies not long ago. I was just waiting for someone to come along. Thank God it was Dogma, a rescue group! I respond to "Girly." I am spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and heartworm treated . I love children! There is not a mean bone in my body-I am the perfect family companion. I was used as a breeding dog, and someone cropped my ears. I escaped! Despite the horrible past I had, I love and trust everyone. I am so deserving of a fabulous forever home. The rescue group is taking good care of me and want to me have ahome with a steadily employed, homeowner that can provide a vet reference that reflects past/present animals are altered, vaccinated, and are on heartworm preventative. I know you are out there. Contact: Ann-Marie www.DogmaRescue.org <http://www.dogmarescue.org/>
