Dogs for Adoption in Palm Bay, FL: 30 Dogs Looking for a Home

We only adopt in Florida. All adoption fees go to help all the dogs in the rescue, some of which require extensive medical care. Thank you for caring for the greater good. Adoption fee is $400 and you can adopt me at www.polkadogz.org.

Loves riding in the car and sitting in the backseat watching the world go by.

Wants to play with other dogs, although dog compatibility still needs to be evaluated.

Has met the resident cat, and so far, they’ve mostly been having staring contests!

Crate training is unknown. He has his own suite when not spending time with his foster.

Bubba recently had a full grooming, and he’s looking and smelling like a million bucks! His groomers had nothing but great things to say about him. He was super friendly, loved being groomed, and enjoyed meeting new people.

What kind of home does Bubba need?

Bubba is still a puppy in a BIG body! He will need a younger, active home with someone willing to invest time in continued training, structure, and helping him learn his manners. He loves to jump up and shower you with affection, so he’ll need someone willing to work on those enthusiastic greetings.

He’s a big boy with an even bigger heart, and we know he’s going to make someone an incredible companion!

If you have room in your home (and your lap!) for this oversized lovebug, Bubba is waiting to meet you!

And sometimes, even after they’re rescued, their journey to healing is far from over.

Sometimes they land in a home that, despite the best intentions, simply isn’t the right environment for what they need emotionally.

And that brings us to Daisy B.

This beautiful little Bernedoodle girl was pulled from a shelter, but her journey is only beginning.

Daisy B doesn’t need someone to fix her overnight. She doesn’t need a busy household, lots of visitors, or people expecting her to behave like a typical happy-go-lucky doodle.

She needs PEACE. She needs PATIENCE. And most importantly, she needs someone willing to meet her exactly where she is. ❤️

WHAT DAISY B NEEDS:

A quiet, peaceful home with no children.

A patient, compassionate foster who understands that trust is earned, not demanded.

Someone who will celebrate the smallest victories, even if that means simply watching her relax in the same room.

She could potentially live with one other calm, appropriate dog or she is fine with being the only dog. Right now, we’re still learning what works best for her. She doesn’t mind other dogs, but she doesn’t actively interact with them either.

Most importantly, someone who understands that a dog doesn’t have to be affectionate right away to be worthy of love.

We have seen dogs like Daisy B blossom into the most extraordinary companions when given the right environment and the gift of time.

And here’s something we’ve learned after years in rescue…

Sometimes the dogs who need the most patience are the very dogs who end up changing our lives the most.

Daisy B may never forget where she came from, but with the right person, she can learn that the rest of her life will be different.

She deserves that chance.

Daisy B could change your life and your outlook on what rescue truly means.

WE NEED A FOSTER FOR DAISY B RIGHT AWAY IN ORDER TO TAKE HER INTO OUR RESCUE

If you have a quiet home, a gentle heart, and the patience to help this beautiful girl discover what life is supposed to be, PLEASE reach out.

And if you can’t foster, please SHARE her story. Somewhere out there is exactly the person Daisy B needs. We just have to find them.

❤️ HELP US HELP THIS DOG! ❤️

Still working on his leash manners (we’ll call that a work in progress )

Has discovered the joys of chewing, but thankfully now has some great chew toys!

Not a fan of the crate — he'll need some patience and positive reinforcement as he learns that crate time isn't so bad.

Oliver is still a puppy, so let’s be realistic about expectations. He is NOT potty trained yet, and his new family will need patience, consistency, and a willingness to work through all the normal puppy behaviors. He’s still learning how to be the best dog he can be!

Cats? Not tested.

Oliver is looking for a family who understands that puppies take time, training, and commitment. In return, you’ll get a sweet, loving companion who just wants to be part of your world.

Could Oliver be the missing piece to your family?

Apply to adopt at http://4luckydogs.org

Please share and help Oliver find his forever home!

His favorite treats so far are duck and freeze dried chicken hearts. Sullie adores sunbathing on the cooler days, and he loves the wind in his hair. He loves balls, and is conquering fetch and let go. He is content being under feet, being rubbed - alllllll dayyy long.

Sullie does have a vocal side where he becomes chatty with his foster family. He occasionally herds them, and gives little love nips. Sullie is dog friendly and is learning that his giant stature approach must go slow. Cats are his bees knees. As long as they accept him, we are confident on a solid respectful friendship.

Sullie is still learning to be crated, though not a big fan - he is adjusting and getting the hang of it. He loves having Peter Frampton serenade him while he hones his crating skills during the day. He rides in the car like a boss, is house trained and will sit at the door signaling the need to go out. He is amazing on leash, and listens to all cues on his walks.

This big fluff ball is the most chill guy mixed with the occasional playful spurt or nightly zoomies. A fenced yard would be appreciated by him to give chase to the squirrels that tempt him. He hasn't been around a kid under 10, and since he doesn't quite understand his size, a close eye would be a must.

Sullie is truly an awesome pal to have around. As a doodle, he will need regular brushing and grooming to keep his coat free of mats. If you live in the Central Florida/Orlando area and believe that Sullie would be a great forever fit for your family, complete an app and tell us more about you.

Emmett has a gentle, sweet disposition that makes him a joy to have around. He gets along well with other dogs, including his slightly larger foster sibling, although he isn't particularly interested in roughhousing or playing. He has also done well around cats so far. He mostly ignores them and has shown no aggression, making him a promising candidate for a home with feline friends. He's a quiet little gentleman, too! Emmett isn't much of a barker, even when someone knocks at the door, and he rides beautifully in the car. He's so mellow and tolerant that he doesn't even mind having his nails trimmed.

At night, he sleeps comfortably in his own bed, and when left alone, he settles down quietly and behaves himself. He's also discovering the fun of toys and seems especially fond of soft, squeaky ones. Emmett is still learning a few things and will need a patient adopter willing to help him continue building good habits. He is doing great with his house training since he was neutered. He's also learning to walk on a leash, although his walks currently involve a fair amount of stopping and starting as he figures things out.

The good news? Emmett is a sweet, easygoing little guy who seems eager to enjoy the comforts of home. He has no known medical issues, and his loving nature makes him incredibly easy to adore. And when he's not snuggling in your lap, you might find him fast asleep on his back with all four legs sticking straight up in the air — an absolutely irresistible sight!

Emmett is looking for a loving home where he can be cherished for the affectionate, gentle little soul he is. If you're hoping for a loyal companion who will happily keep your lap warm, offer endless sweetness, and bring a little extra love into your everyday life, Emmett may be your perfect match. Those caramel eyes and that beautiful heart just might steal yours!

If you live in the Central Florida/Orlando area and believe you are the perfect match for Emmett, complete an app and tell us more about you.

DeeDee is a delightful little soul who needs a little polish on her manners and leash skills. She loves her people so much that she likes to jump up to give hugs! She’ll need a family willing to help her learn to keep all four paws on the floor. For that reason, no small children, please.

She weighs 35 lbs and could stand to gain a little weight. DeeDee needs a foster or pre-adopter, with priority given to pre-adopters! She must remain local—within approximately two hours of the Tampa, Riverview, Sarasota, or St. Petersburg area—so she can return for her scheduled spay.

Could you be the person who helps this beautiful young girl settle in and start her next chapter?

While Milo is a pretty laid-back guy, he also enjoys getting out and about with his people. He loves car rides, trips to the pet store, visits to the park, and, of course, a special pup cup along the way. He’s a smart little guy who learns quickly and is very receptive to training. He also walks beautifully on a leash, making him a wonderful little walking companion. Milo is mostly happy to take life at a relaxed pace, but he has a playful side, too.

One of the most special things about Milo is his bond with his best girl, Miss Mitt. These two absolutely adore each other. They love chasing each other around the house and outside, and Miss Mitt has a magical way of bringing out Milo’s playful side and getting those zoomies going. When they aren’t busy playing, you can usually find them cuddled up together. At night, they love snuggling in bed with their humans. Their bond is truly something special, and they must be adopted together.

Milo is incredibly sweet and gentle with children and doesn’t pay much attention to cats. He is also friendly with other dogs and has a very easygoing nature. He really is just a little lover who wants to make friends and soak up affection. Milo is crate trained and can stay in his crate when his humans leave the house. He will use pee pads during the night if he needs to go, and will go potty outside as long as he is taken out often.

Milo’s dream family is one that LOVES affection as much as he does. We’re talking lots of pets, cuddles, hugs, cozy naps, and plenty of quality time with his favorite people. He would thrive with a family who wants a loving little companion by their side and understands that the best part of having a dog is all the love you get to share. And, of course, his family must be ready to welcome his beloved Miss Mitt, too. Milo and Miss Mitt have so much love to give and are hoping to find a forever family who will cherish them both. They do have a little separation anxiety, so we want someone who is home more often than not, and apartment living would not be suitable for them because they can be a little barky for a short while when their people leave. They are not destructive though. We are not requiring a fenced yard, but they would love to have a secure area to run around and play in. If you live in the Central Florida/Orlando area and think these two sweethearts might be the perfect fit for your family, complete an adoption application and tell us more about you. Milo promises to bring the puppy eyes, the cuddles, and a whole lot of love into your life!

Miss Mitt is full of energy and loves to play, especially with children! She is incredibly affectionate with kids, loves running around and playing catch with them, and is even happy to be held and give out plenty of kisses. When playtime is over, she’s just as happy to cuddle up with her human for some quality snuggle time. She truly has the best of both worlds: a playful little firecracker who also loves to be loved on.

Miss Mitt has a very special bond with her best friend, Milo, and these two are a package deal. She absolutely adores him and loves cuddling up to him, giving him kisses, and chasing him around the house and yard. She even has a way of bringing out Milo’s playful side and getting his zoomies going, which is just the cutest thing to watch. At the end of the day, they love snuggling up together with their humans. Their bond is incredibly sweet, and they must be adopted together.

Miss Mitt doesn’t pay much attention to cats, so feline friends are generally no big deal to her. She can be a little cautious and occasionally feisty around other dogs, though, so slow introductions and thoughtful management will be important.

She is currently working on her leash manners, as she gets so excited about her walks that she sometimes wants to pull ahead and pick up the pace. With a little guidance, she can be redirected, and she does well walking alongside Milo. Miss Mitt is crate trained and does well staying in her crate when her humans leave the house. She may be a little vocal at first, but she settles down. At night, she and Milo love to snuggle up and sleep in bed with their humans. She will use pee pads during the night if she needs to go, and will go potty outside as long as she is taken out often. She does great riding in a car.

Miss Mitt is looking for a loving family who will embrace her fun-loving personality, give her plenty of opportunities to play, and make room for lots of cuddles and kisses. Most importantly, she needs a family with room in their hearts for both her and Milo. These two have so much love to give and are ready to find a forever home where they can continue being best friends for life. They do have a little separation anxiety, so we want someone who is home more often than not, and apartment living would not be suitable for them because they can be a little barky for a short while when their people leave. They are not destructive though. We are not requiring a fenced yard, but they would love to have a secure area to run around and play in. If you live in the Central Florida/Orlando area and believe Miss Mitt and Milo might be the perfect additions to your family, complete an adoption application and tell us more about you. Miss Mitt promises to bring the sunshine, the silliness, and plenty of kisses!

Luke, aka Lukey Boy, is a very lovable approx. 12-year-old, 57lb Pit Bull Terrier mix. Don’t let his age fool you, this boy is healthy and has so much more life and love to give! Luke has a sad story - he was a Lil Rascal back in 2019. He was found tied to a railroad track, taken to the shelter, and put on the euthanasia list. Lil Rascals saved him just in time, and since 2019, he has been living a wonderful life until recently when his momma passed away. His life was turned upside down with no family, no home and nowhere to go. His momma's family couldn't keep him so he came back to Lil Rascals, and now is in boarding, living his life in a kennel, wondering what he did wrong.

Even though he is a senior, he has so much more love to give and wants nothing more than to give love back. His favorite thing to do is to be with his human(s). Whether that be lounging on the couch or going for a walk, having his human(s) with him is the best thing in life. People in general are Luke's favorite thing. Even when he first meets you, he acts like he’s known you his whole life and is so excited to see you! Whether you’re an adult, elder, or a child he absolutely loves everyone and everyone who has ever met this sweet boy loves him. With those big brown eyes and sweet disposition what’s not to love?

Luke is house trained and used to apartment life and also knows how to use a dog door. He can be left alone inside without issues. Unsure if he is crate trained. He loves to sleep on the couch, his dog bed, and at night cuddling next to his human(s). Luke does not get along with other dogs or cats. Not getting along with other dogs and cats is really his only down fall. He has been around chickens and cows through a fence and showed no interest. With dogs, he does fine when he is walking by on a leash. He has a tendency to pull while walking on a leash but otherwise does great on a leash.

One great thing about Luke? He doesn’t bark! Aside from the occasional whine or grunt because he’s hungry, wants attention or needs to go potty, this handsome boy doesn’t make a sound. He does extremely well in car rides. He has made the journey from Florida to Texas to eventually California and then back to Florida from California!

Luke is definitely a toy and treat guy. His favorite toys are anything with squeakers and tennis balls, he loves to play fetch! At 12, this boy can still jump! He also loves to get his “poop treat” after he goes potty. He also loves getting his pup cup at the coffee shop or treat from the sweet teller at the bank.

If you’re looking for a dog that has low to moderate energy to lounge around with, go for a walk, travel with, play fetch or tug of war, Luke is your guy. He will greet you like he hasn’t seen you in years and love and comfort you like there is nothing else better in this world to do. If you believe you have the perfect home for Luke to live out the remainder of his years, complete an app and tell us more about you.

Puzzle does great on a leash and knows exactly what his harness and leash mean. He’s always ready to get dressed for an adventure. He also absolutely LOVES car rides and is a fantastic passenger.

Puzzle is dog-friendly but does best with slow, proper introductions to new canine friends. He also needs a little time to warm up to unfamiliar people, including children. Once he feels comfortable and secure, his sweet personality begins to shine. His experience with cats is unknown.

Puzzle loves playing with toys, but he does have a tendency to guard them from other dogs, so supervised playtime and keeping toys separate when necessary are important. He also does best when fed separately from other dogs.

One thing to know about Puzzle is that he may display some barrier reactivity, sometimes growling or lunging when other dogs approach while he is in his crate. Outside of his crate, he does well with other dogs when given proper introductions. Puzzle would do best with a patient, understanding family who will give him the time and space he needs to build trust and confidence. With consistency, positive reinforcement, and lots of love (and treats), this sweet boy has so much potential.

Despite his uncertain beginnings, Puzzle is a resilient little guy who has so much love to give. He’s learning what it means to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. He just needs someone willing to understand him, respect his boundaries, and give him the forever home he deserves. With patience, consistency, and love, he has so much potential to become an amazing companion. We are requiring a secure fenced yard for him. Could you be the missing piece to Puzzle’s forever home? If you live in the Central Florida/Orlando area and believe you have the perfect home for Puzzle, complete an app and tell us more about you.

In return, you’ll get two wonderful companions, a double dose of Chihuahua charm, and the joy of watching their confidence blossom together. Two best friends, one forever home, and a lifetime of love to share! Could Rolo and Finny be the missing pieces of your family? They would love to find their special someone who will give them the safe, loving home they deserve—together, forever! PLEASE NOTE: All your current pets must be spayed/neutered, vaccinated and on heartworm prevention to adopt from Polka Dogz. We only adopt in Florida. All adoption fees go to help all the dogs in the rescue, some of which require extensive medical care. Thank you for caring for the greater good. Adoption fee is $500 and you can adopt us at www.polkadogz.org.

Mabel can be a little shy when meeting new people, but she’s slowly settling into her new surroundings. She’s good with other dogs and isn’t afraid to use her voice when she has something to say!

He may ask for affection by bumping against you or jumping in your lap but then growl or nip when actually petted. Kennedy knows "come" and "sit", but treats (especially chicken!) help him stay engaged. He’s leash-reactive when it comes to putting it on or taking it off, especially around his neck, but once he’s walking, he does well - though 15 minutes is his max before he’s exhausted. He clearly has a history of being fed from the table and will wait at mealtime for a better offer- but don’t fall for it! Kennedy needs an experienced, patient adopter who understands that trust takes time. His ideal home is one where: He can continue learning boundaries in a structured environment, touch and handling are approached with patience and care, he has a predictable routine and a safe space to retreat when needed, and he’s allowed to bond at his own pace - on his termsPLEASE NOTE: All your current pets must be spayed/neutered, vaccinated and on heartworm prevention to adopt from Polka Dogz. We only adopt in Florida. All adoption fees go to help all the dogs in the rescue, some of which require extensive medical care. Thank you for caring for the greater good. Adoption fee is $150 and you can adopt me at www.polkadogz.org.
