CANNOLI is hoping he will be chosen soon!

This little guy came into rescue with a group of little dogs and is one of the last ones (besides Shortcake) to get his forever home! Small in stature, big in the heart, Cannoli loves to play with dogs his size, hang with his person, play with toys and sunbathe.

Likely a chi/dachshund mix, approx 2 yrs old

Would he fit in well with your lifestyle? Inquire about this little bundle via text or fill out an application on our website!

Who remembers our little "Royal Rumble Trio" bullies? Bianca Blair 💜🐾 Now going by Rue, has now found herselfis searching for a new forever home, and hoping you will consider her!

Gorgeous, playful, loving and ball chasing... this girl is just shy of 6 months old and is approx 45lbs currently. She is still under the care of Tender Hearts for her spay until she is old/big enough to have this done. She does currently live with a small child but also doesn't know her size and can be a bit of a 'bull in a china shop' with her energy but she's still a baby and very excitable!

Rue loves to be outside, with her people, soaking up love and attention! American Bulldog mix, and we believe she will be approximately 75 lb when full grown. She was surrendered to rescue with her two sisters at 8 weeks old.

Rue excels in her current situation with a few exceptions that her new home needs to be ready to work on: potty training! She is crate trained but if left too long in her crate will go potty in there. A puppy this age cannot go more than 4 hours without a potty break. A firm serious commitment to her learning curve is a must, with this beautiful girl. With 100% Dedication and the right tools, she will make an amazing companion! She does not currently live with other dogs but with a proper meet and greet is anticipated to do well with others. She does currently live with a cat and although she loves to play chase, she is never mean!

If you would like to meet Bianca Blair/Rue or have more questions, please contact us! Foster and adoption applications can be found on our website https://www.tenderheartcharities.org/

⚡️ Mylo — Not Too Much… Just Misunderstood ⚡️

Let’s be real… Mylo has been waiting way too long 💔
And somewhere along the way, a few extra treats and not enough adventure have caught up with him 😅

But here’s the truth:
Mylo doesn’t need less… he needs more of the right things.

✨ Meet Mylo:
• 4½ years old
• Jack Russell mix
• ~35 lbs of personality, brains, and zoomies 🐾
• Loyal, loving, and incredibly smart

Mylo is everything people say they want — playful, affectionate, and full of life. But he’s not a couch potato, and that’s where he keeps getting overlooked.

⚡️ He has energy.
⚡️ He needs exercise.
⚡️ He thrives with routine, structure, and engagement.

And when he gets those things? He is an absolute joy.

🏡 Mylo’s Perfect Match:
• Active, dog-savvy home
• Someone who enjoys walks, playtime, and mental stimulation
• A person who appreciates a smart, fun-loving dog
• Consistency and routine (his happy place!)

He’ll make you laugh. He’ll keep you moving. He’ll love you endlessly.

Right now, he just needs someone to see him — not as “too much,” but as exactly right for the right person 💛

🐶 Could that be you?

📍 Sarasota, FL
📩 Call/Text: 941-225-9774 to meet Mylo

If you can’t adopt, please share — his person might be one post away 🙏

Mouse — The Dog Everyone Missed

Somehow, this beautiful soul has never been asked for a meet and greet. Not once.
It breaks our hearts, because Mouse is everything you’d ever want in a best friend — loving, playful, gentle, and wonderful with other dogs.

He’s only about a year old and weighs around 50–55 lbs — a perfect medium size — with a gorgeous brindle coat that could stop traffic and a heart big enough to heal anyone’s bad day.

Mouse has been waiting quietly, watching others find their families, still wagging his tail and hoping maybe today will be his turn.

He’s young, full of life, and ready for a home that will see him for who he is: a loyal, goofy, affectionate companion who only needs one thing — a chance.

If you can’t adopt, please share Mouse’s story. The right person might be just one click away. Let’s not let another day pass without someone noticing this incredible boy. He deserves more than silence. 🐶💛

📍 Sarasota, FL
📩 DM us or call to schedule a meet & greet with Mouse! 941-225-9774

💚 Meet Kai — Not for Everyone, But Perfect for Someone 💚

Kai is what we lovingly call… a pistol 🔥🐾
He’s got personality, loyalty, and a BIG heart — but he’s not the kind of dog who wants to be everyone’s best friend. And that’s okay.

Kai bonds deeply with his people. Once you’re in his circle, you’ll see the sweetest, most affectionate, goofy boy who just wants to be close to you 💚

But here’s the truth:
Kai doesn’t enjoy meeting new people, busy environments, or constant traffic in and out of the home. Dog parks, stores, crowds? Hard pass. He’s much happier in a calm, predictable space with his people.

✨ His Story:
Kai came to us in March after being neglected, abused, kept contained. starved and severely underweight. Despite that rough start, he held onto his gentle, loving nature. With structure and consistency, he continues to grow and gain confidence every day.

🏡 Kai’s Ideal Home:
• Experienced, patient owner who understands dogs that need structure and time to decompress & Trust.
• Low-traffic household (same people, minimal visitors)
• Older kids or no kids
• Someone who enjoys a home-centered lifestyle
• A calm dog companion could work with proper introductions

✨ The Good Stuff:
• Mini Aussie 🎉 (Birthday: 10/24/21)
• Housebroken & crate trained
• Can be Dog Friendly (with proper intro)
• Loves toys, bones, and routine

Kai is currently at Bark Social Club in Sarasota and can be met by appointment only — because he deserves thoughtful, stress-free introductions.

He’s not a “take everywhere” dog… he’s a “stay home and be your best friend” dog ❤️

📱 Call/Text: (941) 225-9774 to meet Kai
Let’s find the person who sees just how special he really is 💫
