Hope is still looking for her forever home. She's an adorable 8 year old Dane mix weighing in at around 70 #. Hope is brimming with personality and brings laughter into the lives of those that know her. She is very affectionate and loves to give kisses. She also likes to snuggle up in bed with her people and be petted. During her more active moments, Hope loves to play with toys and is especially fond of Jolly balls. She also enjoys romps in the yard.

Hope is well-behaved in the home, knows her obedience commands and will require a fenced yard. She is also dog friendly and is great with cats. Hope does have a mild case of megaesophagus, which she has had for years. It's very well managed and she has thrived, living life to its fullest.

She is fostered in Cocoa and is ready for adoption. If you would like to make her a part of your family, please fill out an application (link below) and submit the processing fee.

Bruno is an affectionate 7 year old who loves to cuddle. He tends to be very social and makes new friends quickly. He is also great with children and loves the cats in his foster home. Unfortunately, he is not a fan of other dogs and needs to be the only canine in the home.

Bruno is crate trained and knows his obedience commands, though he occasionally likes to talk back. He is great in a vehicle, but does need work on his leash manners. He will require a fenced yard.

Bruno is fostered in Palm Bay and is ready for adoption. If you would like to make him a part of your family, please fill out an application and submit the processing fee. If you have questions about Bruno or the adoption process, please email our adoption coordinator at [email protected].

Scooby is an eight year old sweetheart that adores the company of people and the attention they give him. He is gentle around children and is also dog and cat friendly. Being an older guy, he spends much of his day lounging and enjoying long snoozes in his comfy nest of blankets. During his more active moments, he tends to be playful and still likes zooming around the yard.

Scooby is well behaved in the home and knows several obedience commands. He has fantastic leash manners and enjoys walks, but prefers they be kept short. He thinks car rides are fun, but he may require some assistance in loading up. As a mature guy, he tends to heed the call of nature a bit more frequently than his younger counterparts. A household where someone is available to let him out as needed is preferred.

He is fostered in Winter Garden and is ready for adoption. If you would like to make Scooby a part of your family, please fill out an application and submit the processing fee. If you have questions about him or the adoption process, please email our adoption coordinator at [email protected].

Hazel is a playful three year old with a moderate energy level. She loves her plush toys and has a fondness for sticks. Hazel also enjoys spending time outdoors exploring and requires a fenced yard.

She is a shy girl who needs time to settle in and adjust to new environments. Once she’s comfortable, her sweet nature becomes evident. In order for Hazel to thrive, she requires a dog savvy home that will understand her needs, as well as a quiet household with an established routine.

Hazel is fostered with children and enjoys their company. She is also dog friendly, but as with people, will need some time to feel comfortable enough to make friends. Hazel is crate trained and cat friendly. She does enjoy walks, as long as she’s not required to be up close and personal with strangers.

She is fostered in Orlando and is ready for adoption. *As Hazel can be skittish around new people, a couple of visits to get to know her are encouraged.* If you would like to make her a part of your family, please fill out an application and submit the processing fee. If you have questions about Hazel or the adoption process, please email our adoption coordinator at [email protected].

Meet Kai! ❤️ He's a bit of an independent boy with a bubbly personality. While he enjoys being loved on, he's not really much of a snuggler. Kai has a moderate energy level and is partial to lounging and snoozing. When quiet time is over, he fully embraces playtime. He loves toys, playing chase and zooming around the yard.

Kai is best suited for a calm household with a structured environment and someone generally home. He is still maturing at 2 years old and can forget his manners when excited. His family will need to be patient with him while continuing to work on his training and socialization.

He requires a large, playful dog buddy in the home for exercise and companionship. Small dogs are not recommended, though he is cat friendly. Children should be older and adults should be sturdy, as he isn’t always aware of his size or surroundings. Kai is crate trained and knows his obedience commands. He loves walks, but still needs some work on his leash manners. He rides well in a vehicle and is always ready for a road trip. A *6 foot fence* is required, as he can jump anything lower.

He is fostered in Sarasota and is ready for adoption. If you would like to make him a part of your family, please fill out an application and submit the processing fee. If you have questions about Kai or the adoption process, please email our adoption coordinator at [email protected].

Saving one dog will not change the world, but surely for that one dog, the world will change forever. Unknown

We receive surrender forms daily. Some days we receive multiple surrenders.

Our foster homes are FULL! Some of our foster families have 2 or more fosters. We are now having to turn down Danes in need.

We can help more dogs, if we have more foster families willing to open up their homes. GDLCF will provide the vetting, meds, food, crate - the essentials to help you care for your foster.

Please consider opening your home and your hearts to a foster.

Interested? Complete the application below:

Parker is a striking 4 year old who tends to be a bit shy when meeting new people. Once he's comfortable, he quickly becomes loving and affectionate. Parker is very playful and tends to bounce around when excited. He is a big fan of toys and likes playing tug. He also enjoys daily zoomies and is a great fetcher.

Parker is best suited for a tranquil household with an established routine. He needs some confidence building and requires a dog savvy owner that can help him reach his full potential. At present, Parker requires an adult-only home, as he finds the exuberance of children a bit unsettling. He must also be the only pet in the home, as he prefers not to share his people or his belongings.

Parker is extremely well behaved and respects boundaries with furniture and rooms. He already knows a number of obedience commands and adores car rides, especially when it includes a stop at the beach. He also has good leash manners and enjoys going on walks. Parker will require a fenced yard.

He is fostered in Orlando and is ready for adoption. If you would like to make him a part of your family, please fill out an application and submit the processing fee. If you have questions about Parker or the adoption process, please email our adoption coordinator at [email protected].

Meet Alpha! ❤️ He is an 11 month old boy who thrives on the companionship of his people. He does the very best snuggles and likes to give hugs. As he forms a strong attachment to his loved ones, his ideal home would have someone around frequently.

Alpha has a moderate energy level and enjoys playing with toys. He likes being involved in household activities and is always ready for a road trip, especially when it includes a pup cup. Alpha is extremely outgoing in social settings and enjoys making new friends. At home he's more reserved, barking initially at newcomers before moving in for some love.

He is very good with children, though older kids are recommended due to his size and play style. He is dog friendly, but caution is recommended with small dogs, as they can be trampled when he gets excited. Alpha is good with dog-savvy cats, but if they run he will chase them. He is crate trained, knows basic obedience and will require a fenced yard. He gets excited for walks and has reasonably good leash manners, though he can pull a bit when a quickly moving animal is encountered.

He is fostered in Melbourne Beach and is ready for adoption. If you would like to make him a part of your family, please fill out an application and submit the processing fee. If you have questions about Alpha or the adoption process, please email our adoption coordinator at [email protected].
