8. Ginger
Adult · Female · Hound / Mixed · 97 mi from Port St. Lucie




Meet Ginger.
Ginger came to ARC from Lee County Domestic Animal Services with a friend. Both arrived malnourished and suffering from flea allergy dermatitis. They had clearly been through a difficult time, but Ginger never let that stop her from showing us just how sweet and loving she could be.
With some much-needed TLC, patience, and lots of love, Ginger has blossomed into an absolutely pawsome girl! She is fun, playful, and full of love to give. Watching her regain her health and her happy spirit has been incredibly rewarding.
Now, Ginger is ready for the part she has been waiting for—a family of her very own. She deserves a loving home where she can continue to thrive, play, and finally know what it feels like to be truly cherished.
Her past may have been difficult, but her future can be filled with love.
All Ginger needs now is you.

9. Talia
Young · Female · German Shepherd Dog / Mixed · 97 mi from Port St. Lucie




Meet the gorgeous Talia! This sweet girl came to ARC from LaBelle Animal Control, and saying we fell in love with her instantly is truly an understatement!
Talia has the sweetest disposition, so don't let her big bark and adorable side-eye fool you! Once she gets close to you, her softer side shines through. She'll happily snuggle up beside you and shower you with the sweetest kisses, guaranteed to steal your heart.
Talia is heartworm positive, which means she has a bit of a journey ahead of her. She will need to stay at ARC for the next several months while she completes her treatment and gets ready for a healthy new chapter. But that doesn't mean her future family has to wait to meet her! Potential adopters are welcome to come visit Talia as often as they'd like while she completes her treatment. We would love for her to start building that special bond with her forever family now!
Talia has so much love to give, and we can't wait to see her find the family she deserves. Could you be the one to give this beautiful girl her happily ever after?

MEET BINDI THIS BEAUTIFUL GIRL — SHE’S WAITING FOR HER FOREVER HOME!
❤️
This sweet girl is just
1½ years old
and is the perfect t size 19 lbs
and has already been through more than she ever should have. She was found as a stray, and now she’s finally safe in a loving foster home — but what she really needs is a family of her own.
She is
spayed, up-to-date on her vaccines, and heartworm negative
. She is also
dog-friendly
and would absolutely love a home with a
secure fenced-in yard
where she can run, play, and enjoy being the active cattle dog she is!
She does have that wonderful
herding instinct
Read more about Bindi
that cattle dogs are known for, so she would thrive with a family who understands and appreciates her breed and gives her plenty of exercise, love, and enrichment.
She is such a special girl, and her foster mom would love nothing more than to see her find the family she’s been waiting for. ❤️
If you can find it in your heart to give this beautiful girl a loving forever home, please reach out.
She has so much love to give and is ready to be someone’s best friend.

Adult (7 years) · Male · German Shepherd Dog · 81 mi from Port St. Lucie




Dino is a TRUE GEM of a dog who we recently rescued from the Miami Dade shelter.
This 7-year-old gentleman is polite, has amazing leash manners, knows how to sit on cue, and gently takes treats. He even offers his paw to ask for more! He is good with gentle dogs and would be a great family dog. He doesn't like cats.
He hopped right into a volunteer's car without hesitation, let them buckle him in, and handled his 50-minute road trip to the vet like an absolute champ.

Dino is a mature gentleman with lovely manners and the potential to be a fabulous lifelong companion. He deserves a home where he can finally enjoy the love, comfort, and stability he has been waiting for.

Ally and Gator were rescued together from a crate left outside. They were able to be brought to safety and a temporary foster has stepped up to help them transition and get the medical care they need to find their forever home. Please fill out an application for Gator. He is a sweet and playful puppy that will thrive in an active family home.
The cutest part of him is not just the brindle coat, but his little panda face markings on his nose.

Adopting a dog in Port St. Lucie
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.
