Sweet girl came into the shelter as a stray and was going to be euthanized after being there for 4 months. She is a beautiful black lab with the sweetest personality. She loves everybody very playful but respectful with other dogs. She ignores the kitties loves kids. She is around 8 to 10 months according to our vets best guess. Zoomie would be a great fit in any home.

Kennedy is a unique and resilient pup who’s still figuring out how to trust. He’s had a rough start, but underneath his uncertainty is a dog who truly wants love—he just needs patience and the right approach. This guy is house-trained (no accidents here!) and crate-trained, settling in without complaint at night. He also does well in a playpen when left alone for short periods. He loves his toys, especially Nylabones and balls, but can be a little possessive with them. Kennedy enjoys being near his people - he follows them from room to room, wags his tail to show his feelings, and even gives kisses.

Meet Cleo
Cleo is a beautiful 7½-month-old Lab mix with a sweet heart and a gentle, shy personality. She may be a little timid when first meeting someone, but she warms up fairly quickly and shows her loving, affectionate side once she feels safe and comfortable.
Cleo enjoys the company of other dogs and is still learning and growing through all the fun stages of puppyhood. She can be a little vocal around men at first, barking until she feels comfortable, so patience and gentle introductions will help her continue to build confidence.
This smart girl knows basic commands, is potty trained, and listens very well.

Meet Bowie!Bowie came to us when his owner's health was declining, and she was no longer able to care for him. He is used to grooming appts and is a sweet little dog who would love to have a home with a nice warm lap that he can spend endless hours on.
Bowie is house trained, but will also use pee pads if he is alone for extended periods. He does good on a leash but stays close and sometimes behind the person walking.
Foster update: Bowie has been a wonderful addition to our home and is ready to find his forever family!
Bowie is a sweet, loving dog with a medium energy level. He quickly bonded with his foster family and enjoys being close to his people, often following them throughout the house. He gets along well with other dogs, kids, cats and enjoys meeting new people.
Bowie walks nicely on a leash and, once he became comfortable in his foster home, started showing off his playful side with zoomies around the yard.

Sweet Mocha has been with us for over a month now, and while she’s making progress, she still has a long road ahead as she learns that the world can be a safe place. ❤️

Mocha isn’t the kind of girl who will run up to you looking for attention right away. She’s still figuring things out, building confidence, and learning to trust the people around her. But every little step forward matters, and we know the right home can make all the difference.

Meet Arlo, a 5-year-old Chihuahua mix weighing approximately 10 pounds. After his owner unexpectedly passed away, Arlo lost the only person and home he had ever known and was surrendered to rescue. Despite such a difficult change, this sweet little guy is settling into foster care and looking for a loving home where he can feel safe and secure again.
Arlo is a laid-back, easygoing boy who simply needs a little time to become comfortable with new people. Once he warms up, he loves attention and being close to his person. He can be vocal and sometimes growls as a way of expressing himself, but his foster mom reports that he has never attempted to bite.

Meet Buster!Buster was found by a long time volunteer/supporter of PRBJ. They posted for him all over for weeks with no one coming forward to claim this sweet boy. At first, he is strong on the leash, but as he starts walking, he settles in. He likes playing in the yard with balls, so we think his ideal home should have a fenced yard where he can run and romp around. Buster is not a fan of being crated..what Hound is.... but has slowly gotten used to the idea. He would prefer not to be confined and would enjoy free roaming in his new home.Buster's ideal home would have a fenced backyard to explore and play in and an active family...maybe some kids to play ball with...and folks who are around for him to hang with and love on.

Meet Jax!Jax is a sweet bulldog mix that came to PRBJ from an overcrowded County shelter. He likes people and dogs; however, he does not like cats. Jax Rides well in cars and knows some basic commands. Because he was originally found as a stray, we do not know a lot about his history, and as we learn more about his personality, we will update his page, including if he is kid friendly. We believe so, because he does not seem to have an issue with any people that he has come across.

OUR GENTLEMAN REMINGTON IS READY TO GO!!

Meet Remington, a handsome 2-year-old Aussiedoodle with a sensitive soul and a whole lot of potential.

Remington came to us as an owner surrender, and we believe he’s simply one of those dogs who somehow slipped through the cracks in the socialization arena. He hasn’t had the exposure, socialization, or life experiences that many dogs his age have had—but now he finally has the opportunity to learn.

Remington is looking for an amazing family who will love him for exactly who he is today, while patiently showing him just how wonderful that big, wide world can be.

Here’s what we’ve learned about Remington:

True to her name, Moxie is a 1½-year-old Schnauzer mix with a big personality and an even bigger zest for life! This sweet, spirited girl is always ready for her next adventure, whether it's chasing a tennis ball, playing fetch in the yard, or exploring the world by your side.Moxie is full of energy and loves to stay active, making her the perfect companion for someone who enjoys an interactive, playful pup. After she's had her fun, she's just as happy soaking up love and attention from her favorite people.If you're looking for a loyal best friend who will keep you smiling, encourage you to get outside, and fill your days with fun, Moxie is ready to bring her playful spirit and loving heart to her forever home.PLEASE NOTE: All your current pets must be spayed/neutered, vaccinated and on heartworm prevention to adopt from Polka Dogz.

Meet Wyatt!Wyatt and his companion, Waylon were found in the Ocala National Forest by a kind man and his son. The two boys rode into Sanford in the buggy in hopes of finding a place to care for them. The duo was full of fleas. Unfortunately not just fleas the two tested positive for heartworms. They also had other internal parasites. With the guidance of our vet both dogs have begun the slow kill method for the heartworms.

Meet Stretch!
Stretch, Spot, and Little Man came to PRBJ from an overcrowded shelter after being rescued from a hoarding situation where the home had over 50 dogs. These dogs are all nervous and have no manners, not talking about sit, stay, paw I am talking about they are used to climbing on tables or counters if they can find a way up. But they are SWEET and just need to each find a patient owner who can help them and maybe another dog in the house to show them what a dog is supposed to be like :)
Important Information for New Puppy Parents
Welcoming a new puppy into your home is an exciting and rewarding experience—but it also comes with important responsibilities.

Meet FIFA!!She came to us during the World Cup and we could not resist the opportunity to name her and her 7 puppies after the game.FIFA is a sweet dog that came in after a family rescued all 8 from living on the street. FIFA loves humans....and that includes kids. She is however, selective on her canine friends and would be best as the only dog in the home. FIFA did come to us positive for heartworms and has begun the slow kill method. She needs to be the only dog in the home.

NEW FOSTER UPDATE:Rocco loves stuffed toys. When we let him out of his crate, he dashes out only to rush back to retrieve his wubby as we call them. Sometimes he sits in his crate with his wubby in his mouth waiting for us. I caught a picture of him even going potty with it in his mouth. Which was hysterical. He doesn’t tear anything. He is so gentle. He is crated when we are away but his favorite place all other times is the couch. He is still leash reactive to other dogs on a walk but I think he is getting a little better. A front clip harness has greatly decreased the pulling. We met our children and 2 year old grandson. Our grandson wanted to walk Rocco. So I gave him the end of the leash and I held the middle. Rocco did really well with him. He listens very well. He waits to eat until permitted. He sits while his harness is hooked. So he is very trainable.
Meet Rocco!
Rocco is a handsome, affectionate and cuddly 5-year-old Lab Retriever/Terrier mix looking for a loving forever home after his owner was arrested. We rescued him from Orange County shelter.
A few things to know about Rocco:

Graduated Oct 9, 2026Pet Rescue By Judy has teamed up with an incredible program called the Greyhound Advancement Center which will allow some of our dogs to attend a ten-week prison training program. The program originally started to help retired racing greyhounds learn how to “dog”.Greyhound racing is now illegal in our state, but the program worked so well that they decided to open up to other rescues and accept different breeds. Each dog is teamed up with an inmate who is in their dog training program. This program allows inmates to gain an important skill that they can bring with them when they are released.

Before her rescue journey began, Marbles' story was missing one important chapter—her forever family. This beautiful 3-year-old Bulldog mix has a heart as big as her adorable smile. Sweet, gentle, and incredibly loving, Marbles is the kind of dog who is happiest simply being by your side, soaking up affection and sharing quiet moments together.With her calm and easygoing personality, Marbles is the perfect companion for someone looking for a loyal best friend.
