Dogs for Adoption in Bronson, FL: 20 Dogs Looking for a Home

Say bonjour to Boulware, a 4-month-old pup who was found near Boulware Springs along with his brother. He's great on and off leash and loves to explore, so Boulware would make a great walking buddy! While he may be a slow learner, once he gets it, he's GOT it. In the meantime, he sits
really
well and will hop right in his crate as soon as you say "place!" Do you like to play tug of war? He'll probably win!

Say hello to Hawthorne, a 4-month old lab-mix! He and his brother were found at the Gainesville-Hawthorne Trailhead. Hawthorne is a very smart, crate trained lover boy who already knows how to sit and lie down! He loves to run laps and play fetch (even though his brother would rather play tug of war). While he's a bit of a homebody, you know Hawthorne always be there when you return with the biggest puppy dog eyes known to humankind!

Sweet Pea is a SWEET pup; her name fits her perfectly. She is eager to please treat motivated, knows basic commands like sit, lay down and spin! Also, foster mom reports that potty training is progressing and so far, very minimal accidents and she is catching on quick! Sweet Pea is super smart! She is great on a leash... unless she sees a lizard, she might try to run after it, otherwise she does not pull! She is great with other dogs! She loves to sunbathe and roll over on her back for some belly rubs. She is a good mix of energy and chill. She will have little spurts of energy will play and run, but shortly after she will be ready for a nap and some cuddles. She is a really great dog and will make a great addition to any family.

This sweet girl is a playful, independent little lovebug who is always ready for fun, cuddles, and making new friends! Luna does wonderfully with kids and has a fun personality that will keep you smiling. She’s still working on her house training and learning the proper way to meet and socialize with other dogs. She hasn’t been tested with cats yet, but she’s eager to learn and would love a family willing to continue helping her grow!

Rocky is one of the happiest dog's we have ever met. Rocky loves to play with toys and other dogs. Once he has played hard, he will rest at your feet or lay quietly in his crate. The perfect lifetime companion awaits!

Faith was found abandoned (probably dumped) at the end of a dirt road by a mechanics shop. That is where this sweet baby's story, as we know it, begins. It is beyond wonderful that we can now make that story so much better! Faith is currently being fostered in Georgia and is a happy little puppy who is delighted to have soft, clean bedding, nutritious puppy food and lots of love! She may not be quite as delighted with the deworming and vaccinations however. We do not know who her mother or father were but we estimate her to be somewhere between 12 and 14 weeks at this writing, so possibly a birth date of around 7/23.

Lex is good with dogs, cats, and even chickens, but not a fan of the new crawling baby. Lex's family had loved him since he was a puppy but made the difficult decision to reach out to Southeast Beagle Rescue to find him a loving home. He has pleasantly suprised us with his vitality as he's still active enough to give squirrels a good chase and jumps for joy when he sees a leash... and he is pretty good on leash! He has enough energy to be fun but not so much that it's overwhelming. He's also shown us that he is able to handle new situations well. He was used to home-cooked meals (loves broccoli and oranges and of course chicken).

Sketch is really a happy-go-lucky little guy who seems to have a permanent wag in his tail! He loves getting affection from people, enjoys going for walks, and has a lot of fun with toys-- especially the ones with squeakers which he renders squeakerless! Sketch likes other dogs and is playful without being overpowering, and he has done well in a home with cats. House training is coming along great and he learned to use the doggie door very quickly. Things Sketch is still working on are to keep all four paws on the floor when greeting people and he is also still figuring out some household boundaries.

Scribble was a little timid when he first arrived but the other dogs in his foster home are really helping him to gain confidence. He follows them in and out of the house and they all enjoy hunting for lizards. He is usually pretty quiet but when he gets on a scent he lets out that delightful and musical beagle ARROO! Scribble is doing really well with house training but is still a youngster and with his chewing urge seems to have a liking for flip flops. Foster mom redirects him to appropriate chew toys which he also likes - and plush toys. He is most definitely a happy boy with a wagging tail and although he requests back scratches and petting, Scribble is still a little uncertain with people and will sometimes cower down.

Theresa LOVES to cuddle and she seems to be especially fond of her foster dad! Being near her people is definitely one of her favorite places to be. She fit right in upon arriving at her foster home, learned the doggie door quickly, and appears to be fully housebroken. She is fine being crated when the family is gone and also at night she sleeps in her crate in the bedroom. Of course… if she had it her way, she’d be snuggled up on the bed with you! She settles down easily and is just happy to be with you. She gets along great with the other dogs in her foster home and we think she would enjoy having a canine friend.

Cardi's purpose in life seems to be loving and being loved by her people. She enjoys meeting new people and is thrilled at the slightest attention shown to her. Being next to you getting pets and scritches is her absolute delight. Cardi plays with the other dogs in her foster home, but she has her limits with them and would also do just fine as an only dog. She does not like to be messed with when she is lying down and she will definitely tell them to go away if they get in her face while she is relaxing. We do not know about Cardi with cats but she does not seem interested in any prey. Her house training has improved immensely in the few weeks she has been in her foster home (arrived 8/21), and she has been crated for up to 6 hours with no accidents.

Finn is a really happy, playful guy! He definitely needs another playful dog and he's having a blast with the other young boy in his foster home. They have a great time sharing toys and romping about. Please see videos below. Finn loves going to the dog park and showing off his running speed, and h⁰e also loves the water. One day the pool was not available so our silly boy climbed into a water bucket. Finn does still have a few puppy traits. He will go after shoes... even when you are wearing them... he puts his feet on the counter to investigate... and he likes rugs and blankets. But foster mom is a good trainer and Finn is starting to understand "no" when he gets into those things.

*ADOPTION FEE SPONSORED BY: ACCORDING TO ELLIE *Patience is kind of the Betty White of Dogdom. She is sweetly innocent, always cheerful with a wagging tail, but there's a mischievous glint in her eye that says she's ready to play the clown and get goofy. She definitely has a joie de vivre. Her name is really appropriate for a couple of reasons. She most likely had a past that required forbearance and long-suffering. Probably had a lot of babies. It also takes patience to walk her as this girl is not going anywhere fast AND wants to smell everything along the way. She is great at going potty outside but you do have to make sure she goes outside regularly.

*ADOPTION FEE SPONSORED BY: ACCORDING TO ELLIE *Barnett may be an older gentleman but he has such a young spirit! He is active, seeks out and engages with his humans and loves to explore the backyard in his foster home. He's such a happy boy and his tail is always wagging! Barnett has mastered the doggie door and his house training is going well, although not perfect yet. Foster mom is taking him to weekly obedience classes to socialize and he's quickly learning come and sit. He is doing well walking on a leash too. We are hoping he will also learn stay, wait, and leave it ...we will see! When Barnett meets new people he gets excited but calms quickly, and on walks he has been friendly with all the dogs we've introduced him to, even if they were not as friendly or welcoming to him.

Colleen is a tender soul and a real people lover. She is also very good with other dogs, both male and female, and gentle with cats. One cat she met bopped her on the nose and Colleen just rolled over on her back. :) She was seen being dumped from a car, but fortunately she was rescued and taken to a very good shelter. She has now settled in well in her Florida foster home. She has a moderate to low energy level, will occasionally play with toys and sometimes with other dogs. Although she likes her food, she is not super food motivated and a little crazy like some beagles can be. She also walks well on leash.

DARLYN IS READY FOR SOMEONE TO LOVE! Meet Darlyn, a 4-year-old sweetheart with a beautiful smile and so much love to give!

Her name is Blue. Her outlook? Let’s play!

This 1-year-old, 37-pound girl is happy, friendly, and still very much a puppy at heart. Blue brings enthusiasm to her outings and is looking for someone who will enjoy her playful spirit while helping her learn.

She has been showing interest in nearby dogs, even offering play bows to invite them into the fun! If you have a dog who might appreciate a playful companion, ask about a meet-and-greet.

Blue will benefit from continued leash training, along with regular exercise, playtime, and patient guidance. She’s a youngster with growing up to do—and plenty of opportunities to make learning together fun.

Tank would like to introduce himself. He even knows how to shake hands.

This handsome boy has been showing us his calm, polite side. He knows sit and shake, loves treats, and accepts them gently. Spending a little time together—and sharing a few biscuits—is a lovely way to get acquainted!

Tank has also responded favorably to nearby dogs during leash walks and was traveling with another dog when found. If you have a canine companion, ask shelter staff about an introduction.
