When Sarah and her boyfriend were ready to get a pet together, they rescued Ember through South Florida Dalmatian Rescue. The sweet, cuddly girl had been previously used for breeding and was being rehomed. Today, she lives up to her mischievous Dalmatian nature and loves puzzles, sticks and zoomies!
Found as a stray in North Miami, Lola has been in foster care for a year now, waiting for her forever home. She is a playful, loving and intelligent German Shepherd who thrives with a family that understands her breed. She needs someone with the time, space, and commitment to help her become her best self. Could you be the family she’s been waiting for?
Cabo was purchased as a puppy but was given away by his first owner when he was just 6 months old. That’s when his mom, Christy, stepped in and opened her heart and home to him. Today, he is the proud leader of a pack of rescue brothers and sisters.
Found on the streets of Hialeah, malnourished and covered in ticks and fleas, the story of Sayuri is one of resilience. Her mom rebuilt their lives together, sending her to training camp and transforming her future. Now, this globetrotting pup has traveled the world, accompanying her mom wherever life takes her.
Saved from a farm in Homestead, Halo was not well when he was found and his ears were infested with insects. After receiving the immediate care and attention he so desperately needed, today, he is thriving and a true gift to his new family.
Originally purchased as a puppy, Bongo was rehomed at just 6 months, but his adoptive family lived very cold weather, which wasn’t a good match for the young pup. Soon after, he found his way to sunny Miami, where he was adopted once again — this time into a home filled with warmth and lots of sunshine!
Discovered in The Redlands with a rope around her neck, Miya was surrendered to RescueMe.org and adopted by her parents. Soon thereafter, they welcomed Pipper into the family — a purebred Beagle, who was one of 3,000 dogs saved from a lab-testing facility. Today, they enjoy a life filled with love, safety and unwavering commitment.
