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.
A few things to know about Bowie:

Meet Silas!
Silas came to PRBJ after living on the streets in Puerto Rico. A rescue in PR found this little pup and took him in and began caring for him. Due to overcrowding at that rescue, they reached out to see if we had space to take him. So, Silas got his flight wings and was flown to Florida in search of his forever home.Silas is a timid guy who would be best with another dog in the house to buddy with and model after. A fenced backyard is ideal for a safe place to romp and play in.

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.

Meet Blue Boy!Blue Boy is a sweet 5yr old Pomeranian that is looking for his forever home. He came into PRBJ with 4 companion dogs. They are all sweet but a little timid and will need a patient owner that can give them each time to trust and gain confidence. He is a quick little guy that loves to run around the house.

Meet Olivia!Olivia came to PRBJ from an overcrowded out of state rescue. She was brought in by the Pilots for Paws which bring dogs from rural places to larger cities to help them find a home. Unfortunately, Olivia had been waiting at this rescue since 2024 when she came in with her litter of pups. He pups were adopted, while Olivia sat and waited. She loves people and we are working with her on reactivity to other dogs. It seems when she is out and about that she does well, but when in the kennels, she is not fond of any dog. At this time we are requesting a home with no other dogs.

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 :)

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.

Meet Garrett!Garrett has a sad story of how he came to PRBJ. His owner came to see if we could take him in. We were very full and she was asked to call us in 30-60 mins to give us a chance to move dogs around and try to create a spot for him. Well she never called and a week later a kind guy named Garrett brought him in with a broken leg and some road rash. Apparently the owner just dumped the dog and he was either hit by a car or tossed from the car. He was immediately taken to Healthy Pets and got his scapes cleaned and his leg casted. He is now recovered and looking for an active family.

Meet Bo!

Bo came to PRBJ when an overcrowed shelter reached out to see if we could take a pup with a leg injury. Immediately he was picked up and taken a specialists who decided to try to save his leg with a complicated surgery. Well Bo is thankful to both vet offices for no giving up on him and saving his leg. Bo has all 4 legs and you wouldn't even know that he ever had an injury. He is a curious and playful pup who has been fostering while he healed.

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.
