Xavier (Zave)

Update June 1, 2025:

We can't believe that we are still looking for a home for Zave. Perhaps it's because he came in right before the puppy explosion? Zave has been with us since February! This is astonishing, especially considering what a good, fun, young boy he is! Everyone seems to want puppies. Yeah, puppies are great, but how about a young, beautiful boy who is already crate and house trained? One who plays a great game of fetch and will be your go anywhere, do anything boy? One who was raised with young children and is not mouthy like a typical puppy? X is who you’re looking for!

Zave would flourish with someone who is home most of the time.

He is fully vetted, heart worm negative and ready to be adopted!

Since Zave is fully vetted and microchipped so we can go a little outside the Jacksonville area to within 100 miles! Keep in mind, all meet and greets take place in Jacksonville and would require other pets to be brought for the meet and greet.

  • 1+ yrs old

  • perfect size (65 lbs)

  • crate trained

  • Loves people!

  • raised with children

  • food motivated and smart!

  • loves to play fetch

  • good with big dogs

  • no cats or small dogs

  • WONDERFUL BOY!

 

Please share our boy! To meet Zave please submit an application. Xavier would love to be part of an active family.

Tipper, Semi, Diesel, Dozer and Tonka

Introducing the truck stop litter!

No, they were not found at a truck stop, but a good person who informed us of these babies in distress parked his truck near where they were. We simply named them the truck stop litter to honor his good deed.

Meet-Tipper (the only female), Semi, Diesel, Dozer and the littlest guy, Tonka!

Shout outs to my husband, Jacob and Marie for going to assess and retrieve them, giving them baths and helping to get them settled. Shout out to Michelle for bringing us the whelping box that was meant for Timber's pups but arrived 2 months late! Also thanks to Josie for puppy sitting while we had our event yesterday! The pups are anemic, small and have, we think, flea dermatitis. Tipper and Tonka have something going on with their tails and they all have patchy, dry spots, possibly from fleas or hardship of being outside. They are all doing very well, gaining weight, pooping and playing!

Here we go again!

 

Please, don't forget our Xavier (Zave), who is a wonderful boy still waiting. Skip the full-on puppy phase and consider a 1 1/2 yr old! Remember, puppies require someone who is home a lot!

Loki (in foster to adopt home, not currently available)

Welcome little Loki to our rescue!

Loki is 10 weeks old and was an owner surrender due to housing restrictions.

He's currently on the smaller side (14 pounds), but we think with some good nutrition he will start to flourish!

Loki is sweet and a bit shy right now. He got along great with his temporary foster's little dogs and has a wonderful personality.

He is now going to a foster home and fosters always have a choice to adopt. We are also still processing some of the many applications from Timber's pups. Just being transparent as puppies are always sought after.

Please, don't forget our Xavier, who is a wonderful boy still waiting. Skip the full-on puppy phase and consider a 1 1/2 yr old! Remember, puppies require someone who is home a lot!

Shelby (in foster to adopt home, not currently available)

Thank you all for the name suggestions, meet Shelby! About 5 minutes after we met her she broke out into the cutest zoomies! This 3 1/2 month old little girl is very active and friendly. Like most puppies, she will take work and patience!

Please remember, pups cannot be left alone for more than 4 hours. We prefer someone be home most of the time. We do require her new family to sign up for obedience classes with a certified trainer. We want our puppies to have the best start in life and training classes are a great way to socialize and bond with your puppy! Our vet is in Jacksonville, Florida so Shelby must stay in the Jacksonville area. Shelby is available on a foster to adopt basis until her spay is completed.

If interested, submit an application on our website.

Update:

What a big day for little Shelby! We took her to our local pet store and she was such a good girl! She didn't even try to take anything! Shelby loves meeting people, children and other dogs! She's a confident girl who is not scared of loud noises or the automatic doors !

  • 3 1/2 months old

  • NOT completely house trained

  • Learning the leash

  • Loves people, kids and other dogs!

  • Very playful and energetic!

  • Still working on crate training

Puppies are a lot of work because they require patience and commitment to be the best they can be! Shelby is available on a foster to adopt basis pending spay and will need to stay in the Jacksonville area for vetting. Please visit our website to submit an application.
