Rose is a gorgeous deaf puppy that was born on 12/25/2022. She is an extraordinarily sweet girl and has a very loving personality. Rose does not know or care that she can't hear and overcome this very well. She's eager to please and driven to learn and train all about Manners. Her brother, Axl,  was recently adopted and his new mom is over the moon with him. We know Rose's family will feel the same exact way! This girl really loves to hang out with her fur pack and play with all the other dogs. She takes correction from them very well and her temperament has been wonderful so far. The foster has no complaints about her and has already taught her create training, potty training, and some of the basics. Rose came from a breeder owner surrender who couldn't find a proper home for a dog that's hearing impaired. Deaf dogs Have the ability to train very well and live a perfectly normal life with the right person or family. Training does take a little more patience and dedication but not much more than a hearing dog. You just have to learn how to adjust and use sign language and other methods to communicate and keep them safe from getting hurt. They truly can be amazing dogs, and on the upside they sleep through loud noises! If you are interested in learning more about deaf dogs please go to deafdogsrock.org to take advantage of some of the resources information they have period we also provide a lot of support for our homes with hearing impaired dogs to ensure their success. In addition to that we have a dedicated Facebook page for deaf dogos and their families. show less

Sierra is a new intake and we are learning more about her and we will update more later. She is fully deaf and would need a home that is experenced with dogos and/or deaf dogs. If the home has other dogs they would need to be super friendly and able to tolerate a deaf dog that cannot hear cues during play.

Simon is currently a Florida boy living on the outskirts of Tampa after starting his life out in Oklahoma.  He is a young 1 year goof who wants to give all kinds of kisses to his people.  This dude had no manners whatsover and was basically a gigantic puppy that needed to learn! He still has a lot of learning to do but we can say that he loves to train now! At first it was a rocky road trying to teach him basic manners and that people are not ladders to climb!  After learning some methods from a professional trainer we are proud to say that he is making good progress! Simon was good with his littermates when we took them all in and he has been good around other friendly dogs where he is now. We wish he could run and play but unfortunately he has a torn ACL and is preparing to have TPLO surgery. This came as a surprise to us and his $4,000 estimate did too but he is worth every penny!  We expect him to make a full recovery and live a normal dogo life once this is all behind him.  We are taking adoption applications for him now and expect that he would be healed and ready for a new home around mid September 2023. The best home for Simon would be one that is eager to continue training with him and taking him out to socialize.  He is young enough to overcome his crappy start to life and with his happy-go-lucky attitude we know he will make a great new companion! He really if fun to train and hotdogs seem to have magical powers when it comes to his learning. Simon was one for the 4 OKC puppies saved after being dumped at a pet store. A kind man who didn't have a home of his own helped care for the dogs best he could on a piece of property until we were able to help.  They were covered in ticks and our fosters helped get them cleaned up to start their new rescue lives. Currently the boys are all in Florida and Brittany is in Louisiana and you can check their profiles to see if they are still available to adopt too! show less

Sting is a new intake. Stay tuned for updates show less

  Tanner is a 1 year old who is in a foster home with two female dogs and enjoys running and playing with them. Tanner has learned some doggie manner while at his foster home. Tanner needs someone to continue teaching him his obedience. He is in a home with older children and has done well. Tanner was found on the rural road in south Miami with his brother Tua.  We know they lived on the streets a long time and he was covered in mange when he came to the rescue. Despite being on his own he is a precious boy who needs lots of training to learn the basics. He was doing well with his brother for awhile but randomly they would get into disagreements.  We don't know how he will do with other dogs at this time. He has a lot of playful and fun energy to burn off and is curious about everything. Since he is 'feral' he will need a calm and patient home willing to work with him!  He is going to be an excellent dog and has a lot of potential now that he is with the rescue!   show less

*New Intake* Theodore was one for the 4 OKC puppies saved after being dumped at a pet store. He is now with his foster for decompression and assessment. He is 10 months old. He is very shy and nervous and will need a family that understands he is trying his best! Please apply for Theodore! 🐿 show less

We rescued Tommy from a rural shelter after he was found roaming the woods with another Dogo, Gina. Tommy was scared, skin and bones, and stained yellow all over. His first few weeks in rescue were tough on Tommy as he had to be separated from his best friend Gina, and was put into boarding. Despite Tommy's sad initial few weeks, nowadays he is the happiest guy in the world. Reunited with Gina, they are both being fostered in the Atlanta suburbs where they spend their days playing with their dozens of toys, napping on their soft and comfy beds, and digging in the yard searching for moles. Tommy loves his people but is more laid back than Gina, but always stopping to show some love to his foster parents. Tommy is well behaved and trained in basic commands. Tommy's ideal home would be somewhere Gina would be welcome, too (: Although Tommy is good with other dogs (with a good intro of course) his ideal home would be one where him and Gina could be the only dogs - giving their humans ample time to give them both the attention they deserve. Preferably people who like being outdoors, as they both adore spending time outside. No small children, as these two play hard and would knock over anything in their way! Even after everything Tommy has been through, he really is such an amazing Dogo, and is looking forward to being adopted with his bestie! show less

Tua was found wandering the rural dirt roads of south Miami with his brother Tanner.  Both had been living on their own for a very long time and covered in Mange.  They were hungry and even today will devour food as if they will never get more again. Tua is sweet and has a lot of playful energy as well.  He needs to learn all the basics of obedience and needs a home that is willing to invest time into his training. He has a great temperament so his foundation is perfect to grow into a wonderful pet!  He is curious about everything and also has some street smarts to be careful with new things and sounds.  Currently he is at the Redlands Sanctuary as we are awaiting a foster home for him. Please contact us if you are intersted in helping Tua! show less

Valentina is a mama dog we saved off the streets of Miami.  The following day she gave birth to 8 precious little babies, 2 of which passed unfortunately.  She has been a wondeful mama dog and we are learning more about her as she is gaining trust in her fosters! She is a gentle sweet girl that loves to hunt down lizards and walk around with her toys.  She is a young mama and probably just about a year old.  This girl has been through a lot but she knows that she's safe now and it has been nice to watch her decompress and trust her foster family. Mama is particularly fond of their 12 year old daughter and bonded with her first. She is good with their dogs, especially their sweet DC Dogos alumni Rue girl!   Mama Valentina will be available for adoption towards the end of April and we are accepting applications now.  show less
