A very special noodle has gone off on a foster to adopt trial with a very special family 💕 Our very own Apollo has been taken in by my friend and new PLAY! K9 Academy trainer Marissa and her fiancée Rozette! He has also gained a super cool big brother named Modie. Apollo is following very strict decompression and introduction protocols so that everyone is set up for success. This transition period is not optional. While it may look different for every dog it is absolutely crucial for a successful adoption. The goals for Apollo will be various performance sports, club level bite sports, and demo dog work. We are extremely excited to follow him on this new journey. Everyone wish him good luck!

Florida heat is no joke for your dog! From scorching cars to 150° pavement, heatstroke can happen in minutes. Protect those paws with breathable, vented shoes (like dog Crocs!) to let heat escape safely. 🐾🔥

This adoption felt like such a HUGE achievement.
The Millers had been approved with us for a while and were searching for their perfect match. And when we say they were dedicated, we mean it!
He traveled, asked questions, and had conversations with multiple fosters. He didn’t rush the process or pick a dog based on a photo. He wanted to make sure he found the right fit — and we couldn’t have asked for a better approach.
Funny enough, we knew Rocko was going to be the one for him… even though Rocko wasn’t his initial interest!
After meeting Rocko and spending some time together, it was clear that it was meant to be. This is exactly what we hope for with every adoption — not the fastest match, but the right match. Rocko is still receiving treatment for heart worms as he tested positive at the shelter we pulled him from. They’ve also already booked training with a trainer in their area!
Congratulations, Rocko & family! We are SO happy for you.

Linda — Listen!
This is why rescue matters!
With the help of some rescue partners, we were able to save Linda from one of the popular dumping grounds in the Redlands area, Florida. She came to us needing extensive medical care, including bloodwork, X-rays, a spay, and a mastectomy.
She spent quite a while in rescue without much interest. Sadly, being an older and black dog can make finding a forever family even harder.
And now… SHE’S ADOPTED!
Linda was being fostered by our Director, who grew fond of this sweet girl during her time in rescue. We couldn’t be happier that Linda found the loving home she deserves.
Happy tails, sweet girl!
