9. Dino

Adult (7 years) · Male · German Shepherd Dog · 20 mi from Boca Raton

Dino is a TRUE GEM of a dog who we recently rescued from the Miami Dade shelter.

This 7-year-old gentleman is polite, has amazing leash manners, knows how to sit on cue, and gently takes treats. He even offers his paw to ask for more! He is good with gentle dogs and would be a great family dog. He doesn't like cats.

He hopped right into a volunteer's car without hesitation, let them buckle him in, and handled his 50-minute road trip to the vet like an absolute champ.

Dino is a mature gentleman with lovely manners and the potential to be a fabulous lifelong companion. He deserves a home where he can finally enjoy the love, comfort, and stability he has been waiting for.

Young · Female · Dachshund / Mixed (long coat) · 25 mi from Boca Raton

1 year old 13 pound dachshund mix from Puerto Rico

Her perfect home would be one where she had someone who loves to get kisses and loves to scratch a belly.

Klara is a playful girl and would do well with another playful dog or someone who could play with her expend some energy.

She would love to be in a home where people are home most of the time. She is not a fan of being left alone, but is SO much better. She has discovered lick mats, doggie puzzles, has a safe crate of her own and settles herself down pretty quickly. We are very proud of the progress she has made.

Read more about Klara

Teaching her tricks will build her confidence and that helps her mature also (we are working on that now and it's very good for her).

Klara is a snuggly and sweet girl and we know that the right family is out there for her.

27. Hunter

Young (1 year 6 months) · Male · German Shepherd Dog · 20 mi from Boca Raton

Another stray who appears to have been tossed out onto the streets of Miami, Hunter was so relieved to be found that he jumped right into his finder's car.

Hunter is a young dog, very puppy-like in both his energy and personality, although we believe he is around 1.5 years old. He's eager, affectionate, and has so much potential to become an incredible companion.

Because of his youthful enthusiasm, Hunter would do best in a home with a securely fenced yard and someone committed to continuing his training. With guidance, structure, and love, we know he will grow into the amazing dog he's meant to be.

Read more about Hunter

Hunter is currently located in boarding, but we would love to find him a local foster home where he can decompress, learn, and show everyone just how special he is.

If you're interested in fostering or adopting Hunter, please reach out. He deserves a second chance at the happy life he's been waiting for.

Senior · Male · Dachshund / Chihuahua / Mixed (short coat) · 25 mi from Boca Raton

10 year old 5.5 pound chihuahua

He has no teeth.

Memo came to us from Puerto Rico

He’s a snuggly boy who likes to be held like a baby

His lack of teeth doesn’t get in the way of his eating, he just needs soft food or soaked kibble.

He is good with all people.

He is good with other dogs, he does have some stereotypical Chihuahua traits, growls when other dogs come near his favorite bed for example, but he has no teeth and it’s just a little warning, nothing of concern.

He would be fine with other dogs or as an only dog.

He likes soft beds, head scratches, exploring outside and laying in the sun.

29. Harrison Yorkie On Wheels

Adult · Male · Yorkshire Terrier Yorkie · 24 mi from Boca Raton

All adoptions include a home visit. You must live in Broward or Palm Beach County.HarrisonYorkshire Terrier · Almost 8 Years Old · 7 lbs There are dogs that make you rethink everything you thought you knew about limitations. Harrison is one of them.This seven-pound Yorkshire Terrier moves through life with a joy so contagious it stops people in their tracks. He is paralyzed in his lower legs, and he has absolutely no interest in letting that define him. Strap him into his wheelchair and watch him bounce around with an enthusiasm that makes you wonder why you ever complained about anything. When he is out of his wheels, his padded drag bag keeps his legs protected so he can maneuver comfortably and confidently on his own terms.

Read more about Harrison Yorkie On Wheels

Harrison does not need your sympathy. He needs your company, a good throw of his favorite toy, and a warm spot to cuddle when the fetch session is over.He is playful, loving, hypoallergenic, and deeply social with people. Take him out into the world, and he greets it like a dog who knows exactly how good life is. He has earned that perspective.Harrison does have a heart murmur and is managed comfortably on cardiac medication, which Get A Life Pet Rescue will cover for life. He also needs his bladder expressed every six hours during waking hours, a gentle, simple technique involving light pressure on each side of the bladder to release urine. Because Harrison does not drink water through the night, this is not needed after he settles in for the evening, making nighttime completely manageable for any household. We will make sure every adopter and their network is fully trained and confident in this before Harrison goes to his devoted home. And that word, network, is the heart of what Harrison needs most.His ideal adopter is someone who loves him fiercely and also comes prepared with a circle of trusted, trained people around them. Dog sitters, neighbors, family members, close friends, anyone who can step in on a long day away from home or during travel to provide his care on schedule. This does not need to be complicated or large. It simply needs to exist. Get A Life Pet Rescue will provide full hands-on training for everyone in that circle, and we will do our best to serve as a backup sitter ourselves when we are available.In return for that village, Harrison will give every single person in it something they did not expect. He will show up to every interaction with his whole heart, fetch game ready, cuddle mode fully operational, and that unmistakable Yorkie spark that reminds you that the size of a life has nothing to do with the size of the body living it.Harrison is not a dog who needs to be saved. He has already saved himself. He is simply waiting for the right people to recognize what an extraordinary privilege it is to be chosen by him.Get A Life Pet Rescue will cover Harrison's cardiac medication and basic veterinary care at our vet in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, for life. Check his VIDEO PLAYLIST. Please Like & Follow his FaceBook Page. If you are interested, please fill out the adoption application. For additional information regarding our adoption process, please check our FAQ's Page. WWW.GETALIFEPETRESCUE.COM This dog's adoption fee is $100 to go towards their vetting (vaccines, spay/neuter, heartworm/Ehrlichia/Lyme test, fecal test, pre-op blood work, dental cleaning, and microchip, as well as grooming if needed). If you are interested, please fill out the adoption application. For additional information regarding our adoption process, please check our FAQ's Page.

Adopting a dog in Boca Raton

Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the dog, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your dog in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.

Senior dogs are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate dog, ask the rescues about their older residents.

Puppies go quickly, so if you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon. Ask how big they're expected to grow, and plan for plenty of house-training and training in the first few months.
