All-Star Dog Spotlight

Hi, I'm Rudy. I'm a 13-year-old Shih Tzu mix and a proud little old lady with a big personality and an even bigger heart. I absolutely love being close to my people — whether that's hanging out while you work, resting near your bed, or snuggling up for some quiet time. I'm a laid-back girl who enjoys the simple things: cozy blankets, comfy beds, gentle walks, and lots of love. I do have a little bit of sass — I'll let you know when I've had enough pets — but I've never nipped. I'm potty trained, leash trained, and very well-behaved in the house.

Hi, I'm Molly! I'm a 6-year-old Shepherd mix with a big heart, lots of energy, and so much love to give. I'm super smart and already know commands like sit, down, and stay. I'm crate trained, potty trained, and house trained. I LOVE walks — three miles a day? Yes, please! I'm strong, athletic, and happiest when I'm out moving with my person. After a fun day, I turn into the biggest cuddle bug and would love nothing more than to snuggle up with you on the couch. Rescue: Mercy Full Project, Tampa FL — [email protected]

I'm Halo, an 11-year-old Pitbull with the heart of a best friend and the energy of a dog half my age. Don't let the "senior" label fool you — I still play like a puppy, love to explore, and have very strong opinions about lizards in the yard! I'm crate trained, potty trained, leash trained, and already know some basics like sit, down, and stay. My ideal home has a fenced yard for exploring, a small family to love, and plenty of cuddle time for when the day winds down. Rescue: Mercy Full Project, Tampa FL — [email protected]

Hi there, I'm Walter — but my friends call me Wally! Big head? Guilty. Bigger heart? Absolutely. I'm a 3.5-year-old, 75-pound Staffordshire Terrier mix with strong lap dog dreams and a love for life that's bigger than me. Not too long ago, I was 30 minutes away from being euthanized — but someone saw something in me. Now I'm thriving and ready to find my forever family. I know all my commands, I'm crate trained, potty trained, leash trained, and house trained. My foster mom is a vet behaviorist and offers lifetime support for my forever family!

Hi, I'm Geraldine! I'm a 4-year-old long-haired mini dachshund mix looking for a calm and loving forever home. I can be a little shy when I first meet new people, but once I feel safe, I become the most loyal little companion you could ask for. I'm the kind of girl who picks her person and sticks by their side forever — I'll follow you from room to room like your tiny shadow. I'm fully crate trained, potty trained, leash trained, and house trained. Heartworm positive, currently in treatment. Rescue: Mercy Full Project, Tampa FL — [email protected]

Hi, I'm Bubblegum — but my friends call me Bubbles! I'm a 2-year-old terrier mix with a soft heart and a gentle soul. I might be a little shy when we first meet, but once I feel safe, you'll see just how sweet and playful I really am. I love other dogs — they make me feel brave, and playing with them is my favorite thing ever! I'm crate trained and working on leash walking and basic commands. More than anything, I just want to feel safe, loved, and part of a family. Rescue: Mercy Full Project, Tampa FL — [email protected]

Lucky and Piper are a bonded pair looking for a home together. Lucky is a 7-year-old American Pitbull Terrier mix — a devoted shadow dog who wants nothing more than to be near his person. Once he trusts you, he gives you everything. Piper is a 12-year-old Hound mix who moves through the world with a quiet ease that makes everyone around him feel calm. Easygoing and friendly with dogs, children, cats, and people, Piper is truly a gift. These two are a package deal and would thrive in a patient, loving home.

Hi, I'm Denali! I'm a 1-year-old American Staffordshire Terrier mix with the gentlest heart and the calmest soul. I'm a quiet girl who loves peaceful days, cozy naps, and just being near the people I trust. I rarely bark and I'm very easygoing. I can be a little nervous in new places, but I warm up quickly once I realize I'm safe. I'm especially bonded to my best friend Acadia, and having her by my side helps me feel safe and confident. Heartworm positive, currently in treatment. Rescue: Mercy Full Project, Tampa FL — [email protected]
