11. Lewis

Young · Male · American Staffordshire Terrier / Pit Bull Terrier / Mixed (short coat) · 9 mi from Floral City

MEET LEWIS — A GENTLE GUY LOOKING FOR A GOOD PLACE TO LAND

Lewis is a young dog with a lot of growing up still ahead of him. And while he may not be the type of dog who demands the spotlight, there’s something especially endearing about this handsome boy.

Lewis is friendly and gentle, and he seems to appreciate a calm, kind approach. He has a sweet expression and those wonderfully floppy ears that give him plenty of personality without him having to say a word.

Read more about Lewis

Lewis is also a bit of a homebody! He’s okay with shorter car rides, but longer trips and extended time in the car aren’t really his idea of a good time. He’d much rather enjoy the comforts of home than spend hours on the road. If your idea of a good life involves a comfortable home, familiar routines, and enjoying the simple pleasures together, Lewis might be just your kind of guy.

At his age, Lewis has plenty of time to discover all the good things that life with the right person can offer—comfortable places to rest, regular walks, affection, patience, and the simple security of knowing he has someone he can count on.
He doesn't need to be the most outgoing dog in the room. He just needs someone willing to let him settle in, get comfortable, and show them who he is at his own pace.

Lewis is 1 1/2 yrs. old, weighs 71 lbs., and is neutered, microchipped, heartworm tested and vaccinated.

18. Faith V

Puppy (3 months 12 days) · Female · Beagle / Mixed (medium coat) · 25 mi from Floral City

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.

Read more about Faith V

Currently she weighs 10.4 lb. When Faith has had a few more vaccinations and is ready for transport, we will bring her to Florida where we have an excited foster home waiting for her. She will be spayed, microchipped and ready for adoption the weekend after Thanksgiving. If you are interested in possibly adopting Faith, please submit an adoption survey right away and our Adoption Team will contact you promptly to discuss our adoption policies for puppies. Please note that once approved you will be required to make a $100.00 deposit towards her adoption fee in order for us to hold her for you. Thank you for seeking to adopt from a rescue!

19. Lex

Senior (8 years 9 months) · Male · Beagle · 25 mi from Floral City

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).

Read more about Lex

He was also used to having a dog door where he could go in and out as he pleased. But he's learning to gradually enjoy a bit of kibble now and then and also to ask to go out and come back in. We would really like to see him in a home with a fenced yard and a dog door again though. Lex wants to be around his people and is often curious to see what they are doing, but he is not a velcro dog and doesn't get stressed when foster mom is out of his sight. He is however very vocal and will let you know quickly if someone is walking down street. Lex's que to crate up is "Go home, Lex," and he is comfortable sleeping in his crate at night. But one thing that's especially important to him is having his blanket. He loves putting his nose underneath it and sometimes covers himself almost completely. Lex is usually a confident dog and isn't bothered by thunderstorms, fireworks, or loud noises. He's a smart boy and knows quite a few commands and tricks! He understands "Sit," "Lay down," "Come here," and "Leave it." He also knows "High five" and "Roll over." One of his fun tricks is "1, 2, 3, catch!" He knows to get ready to catch something when he hears the countdown. Lex can have that beagle stubborn streak and does not like being pushed off of furniture. Instead when he needs to follow directions, he responds to a countdown of "5, 4, 3, 2, 1 and of course chicken. This gorgeous guy is fully vetted and ready to go on sleepover.

20. Sketch

Young (2 years) · Male · Beagle · 25 mi from Floral City

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.

Read more about Sketch

Although he accepts verbal corrections well, his curiosity sometimes just gets the best of him. He’s been known to climb on top of his crate in pursuit of cat food, hop onto the metal storage can on the patio to peek through the kitchen window, and use a side table to keep an eye on the yard guy at work. Clearly, he doesn’t want to miss a thing. He is not frequently vocal, but the few times Sketch has been heard to sing out the famous beagle arroo it is definitely rousing! At night, he’s fantastic in his crate. He may whine a little when the sun starts coming up, but he doesn’t make a big fuss. Sketch is easygoing about handling. He let his foster mom clean his ears and handle his feet without complaint. All in all, he’s a loving, cheerful guy with a curious mind, a playful spirit, and plenty of personality. Sketch is also heartworm negative and ready to go on sleepover.

Adopting a dog in Floral City

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.
