Moses aka Tanks journey home
![[image]](uploaded_images/image907.jpg)
Last week we were contacted by a concerned citizen that found a stray dog in the Winn Dixie parking lot in town and asked us if we could help. We told them we would take it into our rescue and keep it safe and look for a possible owner. A few days later we were contacted by a man named Dale saying that the dog on our website might be their dog Tank. Tank had run away from home when he was scared by gunshots in the neighborhood and had been missing for a week. After comparing notes and confirming with Dale & Kassie through pictures, it was determined that we indeed had Tank and were able to reunite him with his family.
Thank you Dale and Kassie for working with us to get Tank home. I am so glad we could help and Tank sure was glad to see his kids!

Sadie Needs a new home
![[image]](uploaded_images/image906.jpg)
Looking for a Life Long Friend!
Sweet mixed female, approximately 10-18 months needs a permanent home. She is very energetic and loves to be with her pack. She is 90% house broken and bicycle trained. She interacts well with other dogs, but her size (~60 lbs) and energy makes play a little hard on the smaller ones.
Due to her youth and size she needs a fenced yard, daily walks or bicycle runs, and some play time. She loves to hang with you while you’re working in the yard or on a project. But, if you just want couch company, she may not be for you.
However if you’re looking for a training partner, a friend to take to the beach and a loyal, alert, smart animal companion don’t waste this opportunity. Contact us to set up a meeting and see if this is the right dog for you.

Big Daddy in his new job!
![[image]](uploaded_images/image894.jpg)
Big Daddy, as some of you may recall, was a rescue from Lawtey,Florida when his owner went to prison.
Since then, Big Daddy has become a therapy dog. He is now visiting nursing homes and putting a smile on their faces.
Big puppy kisses to Julie, Tug, KK, Cathy, Patti, Becky, Luann his foster mom, and his new forever mom Jan for making this a very happy ending to a very sad story. It takes a huge effort on the part of rescues to make these things happen and we are very fortunate in having wonderful people out there working with us to make good stories like Big Daddy's happen.

Snowgirl - Adopted!
![[image]](uploaded_images/image887.jpg)
Snowgirl came to us from a wonderful woman who rescued her for an abusive home. She obviously had a muzzle placed on her for a very very long time because it dug into her muzzle all the way around her face. I can't even begin to imagine why because we never hear her bark at all. She is an extremely sweet girl and needs a wonderful loving home.
Snow Girl
10 months old
Great Pryenees mix
70 lbs
long hair - will require grooming regularly
housebroken
great with kids and other pets
very gentle and quiet
If you are interested in Snowgirl please complete our adoption application and email it to us and we will be in touch very soon.
