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.

Klara is a snuggly and sweet girl and we know that the right family is out there for her.
16. Hunter
Young (1 year 6 months) · Male · German Shepherd Dog · 18 mi from Hialeah





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.

24. Lyssa
Young (2 years) · Female · German Shepherd Dog / Mixed · 18 mi from Hialeah





She was abandoned in a Miami parking lot that had a large population of stray cats, and she remained there for several weeks. Several local rescuers saw a Nextdoor post about her and stepped in to help. They were able to safely trap her that same night and reached out to us once she was secure — and of course we said yes.
We believe Lyssa is around 2 years old. She is a calm, gentle girl who rides well in the car. She doesn’t seem bothered by other dogs, though she has not been officially dog‑tested yet.

Lyssa is currently located at our vet in West Palm Beach and is in need of a foster — or even better, an adopter who can give her the stable, loving home she deserves.
25. Lily
Adult (4 years 1 month) · Female · German Shepherd Dog · 18 mi from Hialeah






Lily is a true sweetheart. We think she's around 4 years old. She is such a happy, friendly, loving girl. She is dog friendly, but we don't know about cats. She is very curious about everything & can be a counter surfer. She would benefit from training since she pulls a bit on leash. Despite being dumped, her fun and happy spirit is contagious.

Why adopt an adult dog in Hialeah
An adult dog's personality is fully formed, so the rescue can tell you how they are with people, other pets and busy households. Many have lived in foster homes and are already house-trained.
Grown dogs need less supervision than puppies and often know the basics, like sitting and walking on a leash, which suits people who work or have young children.
