4. Bubba
MEET BUBBA! BIG DOG, BIGGER HEART!
10 months old | 48 lbs | Doberman/Alaskan Husky Mix
Well, someone forgot to tell Bubba that he isn’t a lap dog! At 48 pounds, this handsome boy is already a big horse, but in his mind, he’s still a tiny puppy who belongs right in your lap!
Bubba is a big, lovable guy with lots of puppy energy, affection, and personality. He loves people and thinks everyone is there to give him attention and love. And trust us, he has plenty of love to give! ❤️
A little about Bubba:
Potty trained! Not a single accident in the house.
Knows his commands to sit and lie down.
Working on his leash manners and making great progress!
Read more about Bubba
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!

8. Margaret
Margaret knows a little German, Spanish, and English. We’re hoping her next favorite words are “Let’s go home.”
At approximately 6–10 years old and 59 pounds, Margaret has years of experience being part of a household. Her previous owner shared that she lived indoors with adults and children ages 2–8, got along with the cats she lived with, and usually slept in bed with her people.
Her former family also described a love of toys and some very specific snack favorites: frozen peanut butter treats, ice cubes, and blueberries! Those familiar pleasures could be a lovely way to help her settle into a new routine.
Read more about Margaret
Margaret previously shared her home with other dogs. Talk with shelter staff about introductions to any dogs in your home so Margaret can find comfortable companionship.
With her brown eye patch and cheerful expression, this lovely girl has plenty of charm. Come meet Margaret and give her the chance to be someone’s much-loved family dog again.
She is spayed, microchipped, heartworm tested, and vaccinated.

12. Napoleon II
Napoleon II's family bought him as a puppy from a pet shop. They took excellent care of him and showered him with love, perhaps too much and as he got older, he became a bit of an unruly, spoiled brat. They took him to a trainer who had him for two weeks. Unfortunately, that was not enough time for him and he did not really show any improvement. A couple of months ago, they decided that they needed to hire another trainer and they were recommended to a very experienced trainer who has been working with him and he is now ready to go to his forever home. It was heart wrenching for his owners to come to the decision to let him go as they did not feel that they were the right home for Napoleon II. They have a very active and busy life and it is not the lifestyle that would suit him best. They want to be fair to him and they want him to be in the right home and situation for a happy life.
Read more about Napoleon II
Napoleon's trainer describes him as a "solid citizen" who although only five years old, would like a quiet life by his owner's side. While he enjoys affection, he is not a lap dog. He will come to you for affection but when he is done, he will move away to be in his space. He is totally potty trained and enjoys going on walks, he knows commands like sit, down, stay. He entertains himself playing with his toys. He is a good passenger in the car, he is good at the vet and getting groomed. He does well with other dogs but he is not necessarily interested in being part of a pack or having a partner. Napoleon is not recommended for families with children.
Anyone interested in Napoleon will meet with the trainer located in Brooksville to make sure it's the right fit.

With those gorgeous ice-blue eyes, beautiful black-and-white coat, and perfectly pointed ears, she's a real head-turner. But there's more to this pretty girl than her looks! Lelo enjoys exploring the play yards, checking out all the interesting sights and smells. But here's the sweet part — she spends most of her time staying close to her person. She walks nicely on a leash. She lived with another dog before coming to Animal Services but did not bond with the resident dog in a foster home so a meet and greet would be recommended.

18. Banjo J
Banjo is a 7-8 month old male Beagle from an owner surrender in Pensacola. He's a playful, sweet, silly puppy. He loves all toys, he is crate trained, dog door trained, and house broken as long as he gets let out especially after playing or waking up. He knows sit and he's learning come here, stay, he is starting to play fetch, and he takes treats gently. He needs more work walking in a leash, he has only chewed on one thing he should not have, he likes water and playing in puddles, he has separation anxiety. He would do best with another playful dog that doesn't mind sharing toys, and an owner who is home often.
Read more about Banjo J
He learns fast and he wants to please and he is happy to be your shadow. He barks when left alone or excited or anxious about going to a new place, but he does well at the dog park playing and only barks upon arrival. He is chocolate and light brown with white "socks" and light eyes. He is about 25-30 pounds. He is very sweet and loves curling up close by and getting pets. He needs consistent training like any puppy, but he has a really good start and he will be a most loved pet for the right person.

19. Sketch
Sketch is really a happy-go-lucky little guy who seems to have a permanent wag in his tail! He loves getting affection from people, enjoys going for walks, and has a lot of fun with toys-- especially the ones with squeakers which he renders squeakerless! Sketch likes other dogs and is playful without being overpowering, and he has done well in a home with cats. House training is coming along great and he learned to use the doggie door very quickly. Things Sketch is still working on are to keep all four paws on the floor when greeting people and he is also still figuring out some household boundaries.
Read more about Sketch
Although he accepts verbal corrections well, his curiosity sometimes just gets the best of him. He’s been known to climb on top of his crate in pursuit of cat food, hop onto the metal storage can on the patio to peek through the kitchen window, and use a side table to keep an eye on the yard guy at work. Clearly, he doesn’t want to miss a thing. He is not frequently vocal, but the few times Sketch has been heard to sing out the famous beagle arroo it is definitely rousing! At night, he’s fantastic in his crate. He may whine a little when the sun starts coming up, but he doesn’t make a big fuss. Sketch is easygoing about handling. He let his foster mom clean his ears and handle his feet without complaint. All in all, he’s a loving, cheerful guy with a curious mind, a playful spirit, and plenty of personality. Sketch is also heartworm negative and ready to go on sleepover.

20. Scribble
Scribble was a little timid when he first arrived but the other dogs in his foster home are really helping him to gain confidence. He follows them in and out of the house and they all enjoy hunting for lizards. He is usually pretty quiet but when he gets on a scent he lets out that delightful and musical beagle ARROO! Scribble is doing really well with house training but is still a youngster and with his chewing urge seems to have a liking for flip flops. Foster mom redirects him to appropriate chew toys which he also likes - and plush toys. He is most definitely a happy boy with a wagging tail and although he requests back scratches and petting, Scribble is still a little uncertain with people and will sometimes cower down.
Read more about Scribble
He does not seem to be familiar with dog beds and chooses instead to curl up on a throw rug. The other dogs in the house often inhabit the couch, but he only jumps up when they are announcing something worth watching for out the nearby window. There are several cats in his foster home which he completely ignores. He does not ignore food though - oh no, he is typical beagle there and good thing foster mom is experienced as he has found the kitchen counters and garbage can to be a temptation. We would prefer for Scribble to have a fenced yard and he would do best with another dog. This little 2 year old is learning well and will grow up loved. Scribble is neutered, vaccinated and tested heartworm negative so he is ready to go on a sleepover!

21. Lewis
MEET LEWIS — A GENTLE GUY LOOKING FOR A GOOD PLACE TO LAND
Lewis is a young dog with a lot of growing up still ahead of him. And while he may not be the type of dog who demands the spotlight, there’s something especially endearing about this handsome boy.
Lewis is friendly and gentle, and he seems to appreciate a calm, kind approach. He has a sweet expression and those wonderfully floppy ears that give him plenty of personality without him having to say a word.
Read more about Lewis
Lewis is also a bit of a homebody! He’s okay with shorter car rides, but longer trips and extended time in the car aren’t really his idea of a good time. He’d much rather enjoy the comforts of home than spend hours on the road. If your idea of a good life involves a comfortable home, familiar routines, and enjoying the simple pleasures together, Lewis might be just your kind of guy.
At his age, Lewis has plenty of time to discover all the good things that life with the right person can offer—comfortable places to rest, regular walks, affection, patience, and the simple security of knowing he has someone he can count on.
He doesn't need to be the most outgoing dog in the room. He just needs someone willing to let him settle in, get comfortable, and show them who he is at his own pace.
Lewis is 1 1/2 yrs. old, weighs 71 lbs., and is neutered, microchipped, heartworm tested and vaccinated.

MEET VIOLET & FIONA — A BONDED PAIR WITH DOUBLE THE LOVE!
Read more about Bonded Pair
Some things are simply better together… and Violet & Fiona are definitely a package deal. These adorable Shih Tzu girls are best friends, playmates, cuddle buddies, and each other’s little security blankets.
Violet is the social butterfly of the duo — cheerful, playful, and always ready for some fun. She loves squeaky toys, wrestling with Fiona, and getting attention from her people. She can be a little opinionated when meeting unfamiliar dogs on leash (apparently she has standards ), but with patience and proper introductions, she settles in nicely.
Fiona is the smaller, softer soul. She’s a little more cautious at first and looks to Violet for confidence and reassurance. Give her a little time to feel safe, though, and out comes an incredibly sweet, affectionate little cuddlebug. She loves her people, loves her routines, and REALLY loves her Violet.
These two spend their days playing, wrestling, snuggling, and simply enjoying life together. They’re well-mannered girls who thrive with consistency and routine.
♀️ One funny little quirk: these ladies prefer to handle their potty business while out on walks rather than simply heading into the yard. They clearly believe a bathroom break should include a proper outing. Fiona may also have occasional urinary accidents, so she’ll need a family willing to give her frequent potty opportunities and a little patience while she adjusts.
What they’re looking for most is a home where they can stay together and be loved for exactly who they are.
With Violet bringing the confidence and fun and Fiona bringing the gentle sweetness, these two complement each other beautifully. ❤️
Two little dogs. Two very different personalities. One very special bond.
Violet & Fiona are ready to find their forever family — together.
Violet & Fiona's adoption fee is $800 - fully enclosed fenced yard required

Doing well with potty training when taken outside consistently
Read more about Mocha
Very mellow and quiet — so far, we haven’t heard her bark!
Does best with another dog in the home to help show her the ropes
A fenced yard is REQUIRED. Mocha is timid and not fully leash trained, so she needs a secure outdoor space where she can safely go out and build confidence.
Mocha has found her own little safe place in her foster home. She likes being near her people, but she feels most comfortable having her own space rather than being right in the middle of everything. She may not be a cuddle bug just yet, but she deserves the time and patience to discover what love feels like at her own pace. ❤️
✨ Mocha needs a patient, understanding family who will let her blossom on her own timeline. A confident, friendly dog in the home is a requirement to help her learn, feel secure, and gain confidence.
She may not be the dog who steals your heart with instant kisses, but imagine the feeling of being the person she finally learns she can trust. That kind of love is worth waiting for.
Could you be the safe place Mocha has been waiting for?

She had fun with both soft, squeaky toys and a tougher alligator toy, showing that she knows how to enjoy her playthings without tearing them apart.A people-loving girl! Whether she was playing or simply relaxing nearby, Tortuga enjoyed being close to her person. She may get a little enthusiastic when asking for attention, but she responds well to verbal reminders.A quick learner! Her foster worked with her on sitting and waiting patiently for her food bowl, and she caught on to the routine. Tortuga is a bright young girl who can learn new things with consistency and encouragement.One important note: Tortuga needs a cat-free home, so she’ll be happiest with a family where there are no feline housemates.Tortuga is still young, estimated to be between 6 months and 2 years old, so she's got plenty of time for learning, exploring and sharing adventures with her new family. A happy mix of playful, affectionate and eager to learn, Tortuga is ready to find the person who will help her shine!ID#61669434 -- She is spayed, microchipped, heartworm tested and vaccinated.Citrus County Animal Services4030 S.

27. Siri
Don’t let those long, elegant "Bambi" legs fool you—this 2-year-old Kentucky hound mix is lightweight, easy to scoop up, and 100% sweetheart. With a cute little notch on her ear and an endless supply of goofy puppy antics, Siri is sure to steal your heart.
Read more about Siri
Siri is on the timid side initially and will need a patient family who understands she requires a little time to decompress. While she’s cautious around new people and unfamiliar surroundings at first, she warms up quickly once she feels safe! She hasn't mastered her basic commands yet, but her recall is coming along wonderfully when a tasty treat is involved. She is normally very quiet both inside and outside, crate trained with a snack, and does great with house training when she has dog door access and a little supervision.
Leash manners are still a work in progress, though she does noticeably better on solo walks where she can focus without other doggie distractions. Siri loves to zoom, but those long legs have some serious spring—she can clear a 4-foot fence with ease, so a taller fence (at least 5–6 feet) is a must to keep her safe. Once playtime is over, she has a wonderful off switch and curls right up beside you.
Her Dream Home:
A patient, loving family willing to give her time and space to settle in and build confidence.
An active home with kids and/or another playful dog to match her friendly energy once she’s comfortable.
A handler who can step in with gentle redirection—she gets along great with most dogs, but her enthusiasm means she doesn't always know when to tap out of playtime and needs help taking breaks!
A securely fenced yard with a fence higher than 4 feet for safe zoomies.
Someone excited to continue her leash work and basic obedience using positive, treat-based praise.
Siri also has her own crate and dog bed that she will be adopted with to help her on her way.

30. Angus and Rosie
Angus and Rosie are siblings who are looking for a home together. Angus is 7 years old and Rosie is 6 years old.
Meet Angus & Rosie ❤️
Angus and Rosie are a sweet brother-and-sister bonded pair who have spent their entire lives together, and you’ll rarely find one without the other close by. After being owner surrendered, these two are looking for a family who will give them the happy ending they deserve — together.
Read more about Angus and Rosie
They truly are the perfect yin and yang. Rosie is the resident couch potato who believes there is always time for a belly rub. She’s the more vocal of the pair and isn’t afraid to let you know what’s on her mind. Angus is a little more reserved, but what he lacks in words, he makes up for in cuddles. He loves being next to his person — although if you ask Angus, on top of you is even better. ❤️
Both are incredibly sweet and well behaved. They are almost completely potty trained, eat peacefully side by side with no need to separate them at mealtime, and do wonderfully left loose in the home when their humans are away — no crates necessary. They’re also great with other dogs and have been very respectful of nearby bunnies. ❤️
But be prepared for your homecoming! Whether you’ve been gone five minutes or five hours, Angus and Rosie will greet you with enough excitement to convince you that you abandoned them for several years.
Angus does have a history of occasional seizures, but he has not had a known seizure in at least six months and does not currently require seizure medication due to their sporadic occurrence.
Most of all, Angus and Rosie simply love being together and being with their people. They’ve already spent their whole lives side by side, and we would love nothing more than to see them live out the rest of their days that way.
If you’re looking for double the love, double the cuddles, and a perfectly matched pair of best friends, Angus and Rosie may just be your two. ❤️

Why adopt an adult dog in Spring Hill
An adult dog's personality is fully formed, so the rescue can tell you how they are with people, other pets and busy households. Many have lived in foster homes and are already house-trained.
Grown dogs need less supervision than puppies and often know the basics, like sitting and walking on a leash, which suits people who work or have young children.
