ADOPT ME! Meet Betty White! Betty was adopted from our rescue a little over 2 years ago and by no fault of her own, is now back with us. Unfortunately her adopters were not as serious about her as we thought and she was found 20 miles from her home, exhausted, overheated, and hungry. Our first priority is to keep every pet in their loving homes, but it was obvious that Betty needed a new one, so she joined our ALDR family again and is now looking for her FUREVER home! Once Betty was back in her wonderful foster home we address all medical concerns, such as the multiple fractured teeth that she had removed. Now that Betty had her dental procedure done a couple weeks ago she is feeling like a brand new gal! She has now finished all of her medications and is back to running around and playing with her foster families dogs, which is a huge step for her beccause Betty can be dog selective. A patient, understanding and dog savy home is a must for her. She can be the only pet, or she can be adopted into a home with another pup with a slow introduction, but no cats, or small critters.  Betty has more happy years ahead of her now that she received proper medical care by ALDR for the second time in her life! She is once again looking for the perfect loving family to dote on her and spoil her like she deserves. We are asking for a donation as her adoption fee so we can continue saving as many lives as possible! All of our adoptable rescues have a clean bill of health (unless otherwise stated), are spayed/neutered, vaccinated (age-appropriately), tested (FeLV/FIV for cats, HW for dogs over 6 months of age), current on flea and heartworm prevention and microchipped. This is all included in their adoption fee that goes in as a donation to help us cover their medical costs and continue to help other animals in need.

ADOPT ME! We are sad to announce that Chase from the Paw Patrol litter is back with ALDR, because his family did not think he was a good fit any longer. Handsome fella is now a year old, about 80Ibs, incredibly sweet, but nervous around new friends and takes time to warm up. We are working on helping him build his confidence and helping him feel safe and loved! Chase is well behaved, crate trained, house trained and walks well on a leash! He can sometimes be dog selective, so he would do best in a home without another dog or with a patient adopter who is willing to do a slow and proper introduction to be sure he will get along with any other furry friends. He doesn't seem to react to squirrels or cats while out and about in the neighborhood, but he has barked at his foster guinea pig brother, because he was a little scared of him. Chase is currently in a home with children and doing well, but may not do well with all children since his fear reactions can sometimes be intimidating. His ideal home would be with a afamily that is willing to give him time to adjust and reassure him he is safe and loved. He has also started professional training to help him manage his reactions when scared and we are recommending he continues to make sure he is set up for success. Apply at animalluvrs.org to ADOPT!

*******NOT YET AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION******* Meet Churro! This handsome little 8 year old guy was hit by a car and found himself at the county shelter needing some help. We had a wonderful foster home take him in to receive all medical care needed and based on the pictures we think Churro loves his foster home! We have consulted with our vet regarding his injuries and are currently giving him some time to recover from the trauma he sustained before he has his hip surgery (FHO). He also has an old fracture on the other hip, but it has since healed so no medical attention is needed on that one. On top of everything else, Churro is heartworm positive.  Despite everything he has been through, Churro is the absolute sweetest boy! He loves to be loved and to give love! Churro throws himself on his back and gives you his belly for rubs every chance he gets. He loves his potty breaks because he gets to roll in the grass looking extra goofy and adorable! Stay tuned for more updates as he continues to heal!

❤️ ADOPTABLE ❤️ Elf (aka Elf on a Shelf)! 5yr old, male neutered, chihuahua (mix?) But seriously, look at those ears and that 2-legged walk! This boy is a strange one, but in the most adoring way ever.  Elf loves to snuggle, but also loves to curl up in his crate (even when the door is open) and snuggle with his stuffed animals.  He is crate trained and very food motivated. He will run the yard with the big dogs, or wrestle with the little dogs. He is great with cats and would be fabulous with kids. He recently had a dental done and has fully recovered. 🦷  If interested in adopting please fill out the adoption application on our website at animalluvrs.org under the ADOPT tab.

*******NOT YET AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION******* Meet Falkor! This sweet little guy arrived at the shelter just before the new year after he was likely hit by a car. He has trauma to his jaw with soft tissue and the lower incisors completly fractured/degloved from his mouth. He also has abrasions on ventral chest, left medial front leg and swelling of the left front leg. X-rays taken at the shelter showed no obvious fractures of the limbs or spine, but there is a fracture in the proximal tail/caudal vertebrae. They placed an IV catheter and stabilized his lower jaw as there were multiple fragments that were unstable. Falkor moved into a wonderful foster home with us where we have been working on getting him to eat, keeping him comfortable with lots of pain meds and letting him rest.  He recently saw a specialist that was able to repair his jaw! He will need to stay in a soft muzzle on a liquid diet while he continues to heal and he is being the best boy through all of it. He spends his days in his avocado toast cones, following around his foster mom, and loving the attention of hand feeding.  We are so grateful for our partnership with our Hillsborough county shelter. Hillsborough County Pet Resource Center. They are absolutely amazing and do so much great work for our community!

Gracie Ann is being returned…😔💔 No fault of her own. Mom says she’s perfect but not in a position to keep her much longer due to personal issues. We have offered all sorts of help…but the decision has been made. Here is what mom has to say: “Gracie Ann is the sweetest most lovable dog. She absolutely loves and needs lots of attention. She loves to snuggle up with you and lay right up against you. Sometimes just like a human with her head on the pillow next to you! Gracie loves to give kisses and gets so excited to love on everyone. She loves people and kids. She loves to run and play ball, go for walks, chew her bone and toys and if you aren’t watching she likes to dig lol She is very playful and needs outside space to run around. Gracie was born with a medical condition that requires her extra potty time. She also isn’t very good at letting you know she has to go out she just kind of stares at you or follows you around. You will notice her just sitting in an up right position which also may mean she has to go out. We have just gotten used to letting her out first thing in the morning or first thing getting home, etc. She cannot really have special treats and must stick to her eating schedule. Limited, tiny training treats may be okay. She eats three cups of food a day which can be given three times a day or twice, as she currently gets in the morning and evening. Gracie is such a good dog. She doesn’t care too much to sit but she will Do tricks if you have treats (pieces of food). She does give paw, she likes to open the door (jumps up and pushes it when it’s cracked open), and gives “noses”. She also loves car rides or to go anywhere with her owner. Gracie does like to chew so she would need to be left in her cage when alone or in an area where she cannot get to anything. Gracie Ann has been to daycare and likes to play with other dogs. Gracie deserves the utmost love and happiness because that’s all she has to give. She is an amazing little doggie and we hate to see her go.” If anyone is able to or interested in fostering or adopting this cute, medium sized, super social and sweet girl- please email us at aldr@animalluvrs.org. show less

This handsome little 10 year old yorkie was an owner surrender with a plethora of medical issues that needed to be addressed so he joined our ALDR family. Jayce has nuclear sclerosis, dental grade 4, grade 2 luxating patellas in both knees and masses/wounds on shoulders that are treatable with antibiotics. Jayce has been in a wonderful foster home while we have been addressing his medical needs and even had a dental a few weeks ago and he is now ready for adoption! He cohabitates well with calmer dogs and cats, but doesn’t initiate play nor seems interested in them, so he would do well as an only dog in his new home. Jayce is very food driven and will let you know when he is hungry. He is a people dog and really LOVES attention, snuggles and is very sweet and affectionate in return. He will also let his foster mom know when he has to go out to potty, but wears a belly band in the home, as well. This little fella would love a family that is home more often than not and will snuggle him as much as he would like.  If interested in adopting please fill out the adoption application on our website at animalluvrs.org under the ADOPT tab.

Meet Kleetus! This young handsome boy joined our rescue after having a rough past, but we are looking forward to a bright, loving and healthy future for him going forward! Kleetus was emaciated when he arrived, but has since gained much needed weight and even though he is currently on medication for walking pneumonia he is dong very well. Once he is feeling better he will have his neuter surgery and start looking for his furever home! Kleetus is energetic, slightly mouthy, but we are working on breaking that habit by using toys for play and he grasping that concept. He has learned to play fetch and absolutely loves it! Kleetus is house broken, crate trained and is learning to walk well on a leash, but still can pull. He loves to eat and is currently on a re-feeding meal plan to allow him to gain weight in a healthy way. His current foster home has cats, small critters and other dogs and he has been doing well with everyone he has met. Kleetus is a smart boy who wants to please and given his horrible past he is doing absolutely amazing. We cant wait to see him continue to feel and look better and continue to learn how to be the best boy!

This 40Ibs, 3 year old Bully mix was found in October as a stray roaming around a cemetery in Ruskin and was brought into the county shelter, where she was quickly moved into a foster home with a shelter foster. After some time, Kneesa had to return back to the shelter, but thankfully we had a foster step up to take her in to avoid that. She is currently undergoing heartworm treatment at the shelter and is doing great. This sweet, spunky little lady is house trained, kennel trained, walks perfectly on a leash, rides quietly in a car, and ignores her feline friends. Can you say GOOD GIRL?! She absolutely, loves, loves her people! Kneesa is very playful, LOVES tug ropes & peanut butter nyla bones. She is very smart and quick to respond to firm boundaries but will need someone patient and willing to continue working with her.

Meet Mandy Mangroves!! The Pasco County Sheriff's Office Marine Unit found Mandy tangled in a mangrove island within Oyster Creek at the beginning of December. She was perched on the mangrove's branches struggling before deputies rescued her and got her safely to an airboat. Mandy was brought into Pasco County Animal Services where she spent a few weeks before we had an available foster to take her in! She had infected sores from being in muddy murky water for a while and completely emaciated. She has gained weight nicely and now up to a healthy 60lbs. Mandy is very social and loves to be wherever her people are. When excited she is a bit of a bull in a China shop, but we love to see her excited, tail wagging and HAPPY! Mandy gets nervous with screaming or crying children so we recommend a home with kids over at least 5 years old.  If interested in adopting please fill out the adoption application on our website at animalluvrs.org under the ADOPT tab.

Meet Moose! Moose is a 3-4yr old energetic, social, playful and goofy Rottweiler. He currently lives with other dogs that he gets along with, however, some dogs may think he is a little too much. We are not recommending a home with cats, small dogs or young kids as he gets overstimulated which leads to chasing and mouthing but that also depends on the individual household. He is crate trained, but will complain when he first goes in, or if he feels his complaining is getting him attention. Moose does well walking on a harness, but will bark and pull towards other dogs if he sees them out and about. If he wants, he can easily scale a 6ft fence so his ideal home would be with an experienced dog owner that is confident, strong and will continue to teach him manners and boundaries. All in all, he is a handsome, sweet boy that needs to be placed into the right home that will set him up for success! If interested in adopting please fill out the adoption application on our website at animalluvrs.org under the ADOPT tab.

*******NOT YET AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION******* Meet our newest little Chihuahuas! A few day ago we found out about a hoarding case with over 40 dogs in one home that were living indoors in stacked cages. The main caretaker and breeder passed away and the husband was looking to surrender the dogs. All but 5 were surrendered to Mercy Full Project and we took in 3 pups from them and to help. This is an incredible sad situation and heartbreaking to see these pups so sad and nervous but we are happy to provide them with all needed to live happy and healthy lives going forward. All were infested with fleas, overgrown nails, no records of any vetting and all very nervous, shy, but very sweet. They are settling into their foster homes and we will update as we get to know them and address their medical needs, so stay tuned.

Meet Remus!! This handsome guy came to us back in January 2021 from the Hillsborough County Pet Resource Center after he was brought in severely neglected and needing more medical care than the shelter was able to offer. He has been in an amazing foster home where we created an individualized treatment plan with our vets including slowly re-feeding him, treating the severe dehydration, anemia and intestinal parasite, which all points to showing he was subject to severe neglect prior to being rescued. Once he was deemed healthy he also got a full dental cleaning and has helped save multiple lives by donating blood! Long gone are the days of Remus' sad past, he is now enjoying his life on the dog beach with his amazing foster, making friends, zooming around and loving life! Remus loves other dogs but is still learning how to properly introduce himself and can be goofy around other dogs at first. This tall, dark and handsome young man enjoys long walks and going to the beach, is incredibly sweet and surprisingly still looking for a furever home that will continue to spoil him as he deserves. Remus is currently fostered with a cat and has met several others on different occasions, and has even met chickens without a concern. He is truly such a well mannered, housebroken big guy! Remus's ideal home would be an active home that can continue to work with his basic manners and socialization and continue to spoil him like he deserves.

ADOPT ME! Ripley is 2 years old, about 50lbs full grown and a gorgeous sweet hound girl. She is exceptionally smart and knows her basic commands, to go to "place", "leave it" and is housebroken. She has been working hard on her leash pulling and is doing better, but will still need consistency in her new home to keep up with those good manners. Ripley reacts to people she doesn't know (and some that she does know), most dogs, children, cars and bikes by barking and pulling towards them. Her reactions are fear based so training has been focused on helping Ripley not have to worry about anything bad happening including when home alone. Swimming is her favorite and if able to, she will swim 2 to 3 times per day for 30 minutes plus each time! This has worked wonders for her, because it is keeping her mentally and physically engaged, which is key! When she is not swimming, Ripley loves to snuggle with her family and thinks she is a lap dog. Ripley's ideal home would be with a family that will continue to work with her, has a fenced in yard and ideally a pool. She is good with older, confident kiddos and is currently in a foster home with other dogs, but if her new home had other dogs she would need to be properly and slowly introduced. If interested in adopting Ripley, please fill out the adoption application on our website at animalluvrs.org or email us at aldr@animalluvrs.org for more information. All of our adoptable rescues have a clean bill of health (unless otherwise stated), spayed/neutered, vaccinated (age-appropriately), tested (FeLV/FIV for cats, HW for dogs over 6 months of age), current on flea and heartworm prevention and microchipped.

ADOPT ME! In October we took in a sweet older gentleman named Scruffy Choreo after his owners passed away and he was found on their lap. Scruffy is estimated at 15-16 years old and has had some medical issues that we addressed once he moved into one of our wonderful foster homes. Scruffy is blind and deaf, but otherwise a content little old man that loves his food, which his foster cooks for him - white rice and chicken breast mixed in with Dr. Marty’s Nature’s Blend Freeze Dried kibble. He also gets supplements for ocular, cognitive health, joint, liver and kidney health to help him stay as healthy as possible. As most senior pups he spends most of his time napping and will only bark when he is hungry or needs to go potty. He is easy to handle and carry around, but is not necessarily a fan of being snuggled, however, he loves soft beds and blankets and will lay next to you if those are involved. Scruffy is fine with other small and mellow dogs and will happily snuggle up next to them for a nap. We are looking for a home for Scruffy that will spoil him for the remainder of the time he has left and love him as much as we do and are asking for a donation as his adoption fee so we can continue saving as many lives as possible.  All of our adoptable rescues have a clean bill of health (unless otherwise stated), are spayed/neutered, vaccinated (age-appropriately), tested (FeLV/FIV for cats, HW for dogs over 6 months of age), current on flea and heartworm prevention and microchipped.

***READ FULL BIO BEFORE APPLYING*** Looking for a small breed dog who doesn’t want any new friends? One who is independent and mature? One who really doesn’t want tons of adventure and mostly wants a calm home and that one person to follow around? Wolfy is untrusting and a bit spicy at times. 🥴🌶️ He is a 3-5yr old Yorkie mix weighing in at 11lbs. He was dumped in a crate and even though microchipped- never reclaimed. He is very much fearful of strangers (people, most of all kids, dogs, etc) and he is also a resource guarder of his crate/toys/person. To his person- he is a loyal little guy that with gentle patience loves to get brushed and pet. But just from his person. To become his person you must understand that he will need the right environment, household and lifestyle to thrive.

Zuri, who is one of the worst cases of neglect and abuse we have seen in 2022, was brought into Veterinary Emergency Group by a good Samaritan who found her laying on a dog bed on the side of the road. Zuri had tight bandage around her right front leg that was cutting of circulation, all four of her limbs had necrotic deep wounds and she was completely emaciated. After months of medical care, lots of TLC and an amazing team behind her, Zuri had her spay and leg amputation surgery and is now fully healed and ready for a furever home of her own! She is a 1 year old GSD pup full of personality and isn't afraid to show it! Zuri is in a foster home with other dogs and loves to play with them, but still learning how to properly play as she can be a little rough. She has a high prey drive so we are not recommending a home with cats or any small critters. She is currently in the phase of redesigning her beds and has decided that the stuffing looks better on the outside the cover. Girl's got a knack for interior design! She LOVES her baths because she gets a massage each time , but nails trims are a work in progress. Zuri walks great on a leash and loves going on adventures. She has not been tested with small children yet, but so far loves every human she has met. Zuri's ideal home would be with someone that is not afraid of her talking back when she is not in agreement, and will let her know she is LOVED but not the boss. She will routine, exercise, and will have to be able to watch looney tunes any time she wants, because it not only keeps her entertained but also quiet when it's break time. Overall Zuri is your typical GSD puppy and will make a great dog for the right family!  If interested in adopting please fill out the adoption application on our website at animalluvrs.org under the ADOPT tab.

Any questions, concerns and suggestions, please feel free to contact us at ALDR@animalluvrs.org. show less
