Large Dogs for Adoption in Jacksonville, FL: 8 Big Dogs Looking for a Home

He’s also quite vocal and loves a good howl when he has something to say!Laredo is currently spending time with a professional trainer, where he is doing very well and giving us the opportunity to learn even more about him. He has done well with large female dogs and may also be compatible with more submissive large male dogs. He can be selective with confident male dogs, so any potential canine sibling would need to be carefully considered and appropriately introduced. His compatibility with smaller dogs is still being evaluated.One important thing we’ve learned about Laredo is that he really needs companionship. He does not do particularly well being completely alone and is happiest when he can be with his person. If his people are going to be away, Laredo needs the companionship of other compatible dogs around him. He would do best in a home where he won’t routinely be left completely by himself for long periods of time.Laredo does have a strong prey drive and cannot live with cats, chickens, or other small animals. We are also looking for a home without young children.Laredo loves being outside and having room to roam and explore. He does have a history of escaping, so secure fencing is important, and he should not be left outside unattended. Since settling into his current environment with plenty of space and secure 6-foot no-climb fencing, he has not been showing signs of trying to escape. Keeping him exercised, engaged, and included will be important in his new home.Laredo needs an experienced, committed adopter who can provide him with structure, consistency, exercise, attention, and plenty of love. He is an intelligent dog with so much potential, and with the right person willing to understand his needs, we believe he will flourish.After spending 5 ½ years with one family, we want to make sure Laredo never has to start over again. We aren’t looking for just any home for him, we’re looking for the home that will finally be his forever!

Whether she’s enjoying a day outside, hanging out with friends, or showing off her professional couch-potato skills, Daisy is ready to do it all alongside her forever family.If you think Daisy could be the girl you’ve been looking for, fill out an adoption application at AylasAcres.org!

We are heartbroken for Robin, who is confused and stressed in boarding - the only option we had with 30 minutes to make a plan for Robin’s future. Truthfully, Robin was not an easy dog for us the first time we had her. She was always sweet but she had no interest in humans other than to use them as a springboard and she had lots of, “little kid at a birthday party who had too much cake and missed nap time” type of energy. Robin could have ended up a million other places, many of which we believe would have led to her being pent up, overlooked, and declining in a shelter system she couldn’t get out of. We believe Robin found us for a reason. We worked to help her excited anxiety, we treated her for heart worms, and even sent her off to a training program which did wonders for her. And still we had Robin for a year before she got adopted.

Now, three years later it’s obvious how good home life has been for Robin. She is more settled. She wants affection and sits with her butt right next to you and leans in for pets. She is a different Robin we are getting to know again, but still Rob. She still has her very own unique, happy zest for life, and she still has the cutest stinkin’ happy face. Robin is cat friendly, older kid friendly, no dogs but is not reactive and is dog safe, and she is nondestructive in a home. She also has free life time refresher courses with her trainer. Robin is looking for someone who loves her for her quirks, not despite them. Please help us share Rob. She needs a foster or adopter ASAP. We are very worried she will regress from how far she has come if we cannot get her out of boarding. She is confused and struggling to understand where her family went and we swore to her we would do everything to not let it take another year this time to find her people.

Once a Swampie always a Swampie, and this time forever WILL mean forever.
