1. Boulware
Puppy (4 months 9 days) · Male · Unknown breed (short coat) · 17 mi from High Springs







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.

3. Sweet Pea
Young (1 year 1 month) · Female · Unknown breed (short coat) · 17 mi from High Springs





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.

6. Fallon
Young (6 months) · Female · Hound / Mixed (short coat) · 38 mi from High Springs




Meet Fallon — a little lovebug learning that the world can be a safe place.
Fallon is a 5–6 month old sweetheart who is looking for a very special forever family. She’s silly, loving, playful, and absolutely melts into you once she knows she’s safe.
This girl is timid and easily overwhelmed, especially by new people, loud noises, and busy environments. She may bark or growl when she’s scared, and when things feel like too much, she’ll retreat to her safe spot. Fallon isn’t being difficult—she’s learning to trust after someone was unkind to her. She needs a patient person who will give her time, space, reassurance, and lots of positive experiences.
Once Fallon feels comfortable, you’ll see the real her: zoomies, toys, cuddles, hugs, kisses, and the sweetest little smile.
Read more about Fallon
She loves playing with toys, enjoys snuggling in your lap, and just wants to love her people and be loved right back.
Fallon’s ideal home: • A quiet, calm household and surroundings • Someone patient who understands that confidence takes time • A securely fenced yard rather than busy walks for now • A family willing to help her build trust at her own pace • A home where she can decompress and feel safe
She’s crate trained, mostly housebroken with occasional accidents, and does wonderfully with other dogs and cats. She’s also good with redirection and listens well. Because she can be easily frightened, a chaotic or very busy home probably isn’t her best fit.
Fallon may not be the dog who wants to accompany you everywhere—but she could be the dog who becomes your best friend at home. Give her a little patience, and she’ll give you her whole heart.
Fallon is waiting for someone who will see the scared little girl underneath and help her discover the confident, happy dog she’s meant to be.
Could you be her safe place? ❤️

Adopting a dog in High Springs
