Blingo is a 10 year old pittie mix that we pulled from Hillsborough County Pet Resource Center. He had to get multiple surgeries for mass removals, entropion, and also had to be treated for skin, eye, and ear infections. Through it all, Blingo has been an incredibly sweet boy who loves to give kisses and play with his four-legged foster friends. Blingo's ideal home would be with a family who is willing to keep him active (he loves to be outside and play) and give him his daily eye drops, which help keep his eyes healthy. He would do well with other dogs, or as an only dog - he isn't picky! This happy pup just wants a forever home to call his own after going through so much! 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 and a half 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 family 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.

**NOT AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION**  **FOSPICE ONLY* Meet Frosty! Frosty is a super senior - almost 18 years old - American Eskimo Dog we rescued from Pasco County Animal Services in March 2023. He had been found as a stray and wasn't reclaimed. Unfortunately, this is fairly common, even for senior pets. When Frosty first arrived in our care, he had flea anemia and was being eaten alive by fleas. Miraculously, that was his only health issue. He is now a fairly healthy pup (except for age-related conditions like arthritis and chronic colitis) and has a lot of spunk! He loves to nap and play with toys.  His fospice home is committed to giving him the TLC he deserves for as long as he has. He has brought so much joy to everyone who meets him! We have committed to providing a loving home for him to live his senior years in luxury along with taking care of all medical needs. We rely on donations for their food, vet visits, medicine, supplements, and other things to help keep them comfortable in their golden years.

Meet Izzy! Sweet Izzy originally came to us three years ago (mid-pandemic) after she was surrendered to an ER by her owners as a tiny puppy. She was thrown against the wall which caused a broken leg. On top of that she was also infested with internal parasites and fleas which caused her to become anemic. After a lot of care, Izzy made a full recovery into a healthy and happy pup - ultimately getting adopted.  Unfortunately, it was not her happily ever after as she has been returned after not getting along well with the older pup in the home. In her first foster home she did well with some of the pups but not all showing signs of selective reactivy. She is currently in a temporary foster home with no other dogs and doing amazingly well - but cannot stay there for long either. :(  Izzy loves being the princess and getting all the attention. Izzy is housebroken, loves to run and play, well mannered and social with all people. Due to size, strength and energy we would not recommend her in a home with small children or eldery relatives as she will knock them over when excited.  If interested in adopting, please fill out the adoption application on our website at animalluvrs.org under the ADOPT tab, along with paying the $10 nonrefundable application fee through PayPal, which would be applied to the adoption fee. Feel free to email us at aldr@animalluvrs.org for more information.

AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION Izzy is the bestest dog! DNA has her 100% American Staffordshire, she's 3.5 years old weighs 66 lbs, UTD, spayed, HW NEG and on preventative. She’s great with dogs outside of the home- but for some reason not so great in the home with other dogs. Cats are a no no. Can be mouthy but listens to commands and is treat motivated!

Meet Juno!! Juno was found on a construction site in south Tampa. She had some type of skin infection, the pads of all four of her feet were falling off and bleeding (she was so uncomfortable that she wasn’t walking), she was very confused and scared. After posting on Nextdoor, Moms of South Tampa, and Lost dogs of Hillsborough County, no one came forward to claim her. Sadly, we suspect that she was dumped? We’ve had Juno spayed  and microchipped, she’s up to date on all of her vaccines, and on flea and HW prevention. Currently being fostered in a home with other large dogs, cats, and foster kittens! The vet thinks she’s 6-7 yrs old and weighs 50 lbs. Potty trained and doing VERY well with crate training too! Her ideal home would be with a family that is around a lot of the time or likes to bring their pup along on adventures as she is struggling with separation anxiety (no surprise). Juno Sweet Pea LOVES walks and really just wants to be with people. She is cautious around most men but does warm up once she knows she’s safe and seems to love women and children. 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.

(Last Updated on 04/20/2023) We have been following this handsome guy since Nov 2022 when he arrived to HCPRC with his brother and all nakey. FIVE MONTHS LATER, he had until 5pm to get out or would be euthanized due to lack of space and time at the shelter. He has improved a lot in his skin but still not resolved. He has lost over 10 lbs and just was not thriving there no matter how much the staff and volunteers loved him so. We begged and begged and finally got a commited foster home! Since then he has gained weight beautifully, in foster care with two other large dogs and cats. Knox rides wonderfully in a car and great with everyone he meets. He has recently had a full dental, ear infections treated, oral mass removed (benign) and skin biopsies pending. 🤞🏽 From foster mom: "I would say the ideal home would definitely be older kids, he thinks he’s a lap dog, loves to cuddle and give kisses, would be okay as a single dog but would benefit with a partner as he loves to play." show less

This young adult bully girl was found roaming, filthy, thin, flea infested, infected skin and heartworm positive. Now Lacey is spayed, has completed her heartworm treatment, is healthy and ready for her very own family!  Lacey is a happy and playful girl that thrives on attention. She has never met a stranger and LOVES all people, cuddling on the couch, napping with her humans and going on walks to explore. She is eager to please, easygoing, potty trained and walks well on a leash. Lacey is incredibly smart, has great manners and lots of tricks up here sleeve. We also absolutely love her heart-shaped nose, soft furr endless kisses, and sweet snuggles!  Lacey is looking for a home with no cats or pocket pets and would ideally be the only pet in her new home. We also recommend a home with older kids as she could knock over little ones with her excitement and wagging tail!

Meet Lola! We committed to Lola, a sweet but completely emaciated senior dog from Pasco County Animal Services. She was a deadline plea because of her medical needs which so far include diabetes, wounds on her leg, severe cataracts, and a heart murmur. We have no idea what this poor girl has been through, but we know she hasn’t had an easy life. Thanks to an amazing rescue village, we were able to find a foster that can take care of her and show her the love she deserves while she recovers. We took her straight to the vet and unfortunately her glucose levels are too high to read and she’s very dehydrated. The good news is she is showing lots of personality and she’s definitely a fighter. Her glucose levels are finally normalized, and she has slowly been gaining weight. She still needs to be spayed, but she is available to be in a foster-to-adopt home. Her ideal home is as an only dog or with lower energy pups since she is partially blind and a senior girl. 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.

Meet Mandy Mangroves!! The Pasco County Sheriff's Office Marine Unit found Mandy tangled in a mangrove island within Oyster Creek in December 2022. She was perched on the mangrove's branches struggling before deputies rescued her and got her safely to an airboat. Mandy, emaciated and covered in sores, was brought into Pasco County Animal Services where she spent a few weeks before we had an available foster to take her in! Can you believe she was on the news, urgent list, amazing with kids and other dogs - and yet still not adopted? Mandy is a Velcro dog that loves to be next to you and just laying down near you. Mandy is crate trained and in a foster home with 6 children ranging from infant to teenagers and such a gentle sweet girl with them.  She recently had a dental and had a bump removed that came back as a low grade mast cell tumor. Chest rads are clear and they didn't find any other bumps while she was under ansethesia which is all very good news! If interested in adopting please fill out the adoption application on our website at animalluvrs.org under the ADOPT tab. We will require veterinary, personal and property references that we will verify. Feel free to email us at aldr@animalluvrs.org for more information.

ADOPT ME! Norman is a 4yr old lab mix that was adopted from us a few years ago after being abandoned with a momma dog and pups. Everyone was vetted and adopted out. Over the last 3 yrs, Norman has had training and been exceptionally loved but easily spooked and at times pushy which has caused some concerns with their children. He is housebroken and used to sleeping in bed, going on long walks, fully vetted, basic manners trained and more, but he needs a home with no kids. Norman has been the only fur child and can be reactive on leash to other dogs when he sees them. So ideally no other pets or an experienced person who can safely train and separate if needed. Please email us at aldr@animalluvrs.org for more information or fill out the adoption application on our website at animalluvrs.org. show less
