Scraggles
Abandoned Pet Rescue
Hello there, I'm Scraggles, the tennis ball fetch champion of the world! My favorite stunt is a backflip while catching the ball midair and hitting a perfect landing. I am a scruffy, almost 5 year-old Labrador / Patterdale Terrier mix who weighs 50lbs. I need a home with a yard, even just a small yard, so we can play fetch together. I walk great on a leash and enjoy rolling in the grass for belly rubs. I love treats and am incredibly smart so you can teach me many things. I have never been to an agility course, but any athletic activity is right up my alley. Even though I'm athletic, I am a good balance of calm but playful. I am potty trained and keep my kennel very clean. I prefer being friends with female dogs and just need a little time to get to know them. If you want to meet me and play some ball together, please complete an application at abandonedpetrescue.org
Snoop Dawg
The Humane Society of Broward County
Snoop Dawg is as fun as his name! He has lots of energy and gets zoomies as soon as he goes outside. He will play with toys the whole time he is outside, he loves squeaky toys, stuffed toys, and especially loves tennis balls. He is learning his commands and to walk nicely on a leash. Loves the kiddos and other doggies too! Snoop Dawg was recently featured on Easy 93.1 radio as their Pet of the Week. Thanks to our friends at Blakeley Law Firm, if you adopt Mr him, you will get a $100 credit to spend in the shelter's Pet Boutique when you take him home. That way he can get LOTS of toys to play with.
​

Waddles
The Florida Keys SPCA
Meet Waddles - he's our longest running canine resident at the Key West Campus having been with us since 2021. He's also a Senior which makes his adoption free through our Golden Paw Project which you can learn about here: https://fkspca.org/adopt/
This 8 year old doodle is a complicated man, as most handsome men are. He's short in stature but long on personality, and has the strength of a dog half his age.
Has he been adopted? Yes. Has he been returned to us? Also yes. But this is not necessarily the fault of Waddles - we just need to place him in a home that can understand him, and where he will be the only dog. Waddles is not your everyday dog, and he needs a not your everyday family.
Please call our Front Desk at (305) 294 4857 to find out more about Waddles, and if you would be the best person or family for him. Someone out there is the perfect match for Waddles - could it be you?
