Reason for rehoming? I work on boats as a stewardess and travel for months on the boat at a time across other countries. I took him in while I had downtime, however, my season is about to pick up again. I have given him my all and provided him all that I can, but it was never meant to be a permanent solution unfortunately. My hands were tied when I saw him and was informed by a neighbor that he was abandoned and abused. I am very happy that I got to help him as much as I could and he would thrive in a forever home now

Adopting a dog in Pinecrest
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.
