Operation Homeward Bound!

What we hope to achieve is more awareness for a rescued or second chance pet. There are so many in need of loving homes that we thought the best way we could help is offer a space devoted to these wonderful pets. We will update our site as we learn of those needing forever homes. We realize the need is really in educating people about spaying and neutering their pets. Unfortunately, people are not ready to accept this as a solution, thus creating the problem. Please feel free to contact us at
jenniesmom@pawsforfriendshipinc.org. You can email Jan directly at jenniesmom1@tampabay.rr.com if you have any questions, suggestions.

We have decided not to list Rescues as in the past. What we would suggest you do is RESEARCH any Rescue you find and make sure they are credible. Unfortuantely, many are not. Search the internet for help and REALLY do the RESEARCH!! We may be able to help you with a specific area if you would like to contact us.

As everyone knows our beloved Founder, Jennie was a Rescue. Our Organization believes in helping every Pet who needs help finding a forever home. Jennie and Jan shared 11 1/2 years together and Jennie's Legacy will continue through generations. It is with great pride 'Operation Homeward Bound' is introduced in Jennie's honor.

Thank you

Two Pit Bull Puppies
PitBull1.JPG PitBull2.JPG

Please help ... please forward to all ..... Joe and I are currently fostering two pit bull puppies approx. 8-10mo old. They were abandoned by their owner and are in need of a new “forever” home. In a perfect world they would go together, but all opportunities are appreciated. The girls are very well behaved already but to be sure Joe and I are teaching basic behaviors such as Sit, Lay Down, Stay, Leave It, Come Here, and Let’s Go. Both girls are potty trained and crate trained and they get along very well with kids, cats, other dogs, and people. We are also working to obtain a low cost shots and spay certificate before they go home. Any help is appreciated be it a prayer, the forwarding of this message, or the offer of a new home. Please call me if you have any questions about either puppy or if you or someone you know would like to come meet them. They are truly great dogs and I believe very deserving a good home. Thank you so much, Shanti 239-404-3345 Sduggan28@comcast.net

Woody & Willy - 8 year old male brothers - neutered - UTD - purchased by an 80 year old couple as pups - he died last year and now she is in hospice - no plans were made for these sweet and very social brothers - no one in the family can or will take them when she leaves this earth - she is already in hospice so time is of the essence - easy keepers they have never challenged the fencing and should be easily house trained - they would need work on leash as they were never taken out due to the couple's age - for adoption information contact Deanna at wolfmoonlight@embarqmail.com

Tyggrr
 tyggrr1.JPG tyggrr2.JPG

Please help find a home for Tyggrr the kitty.  1yr old neutered and microchipped male up to date on all shots ... loves to play with toys and the laser light.  He will run through the house with his back arched and sit like a prairie dog when he's watching something of interest ... he'll make you howl with laughter!!  He's quite a character! 
Loves dogs, not sure how he is with other cats.  We have a dog that does not like cats... the cat likes him but the dog will kill the cat if he catches him.  The situation is not fair to the kitty... he needs a home where he can run with out being afraid.
 
Comes with electronic litter box and I will throw in some food and litter!! 
Please help Tyggrr find a happy home!

Panda
 Panda3.JPG Panda1.JPG

I’m PANDA, ‘cause I sit like a panda.


I'm a very special girl. I got left at the Citrus County shelter when my family became victims of the economy. For as long as I can remember I’ve been a bit different than other dogs … you see, my knees don’t flex. It makes me walk a bit funny, but I’ve seen a vet who says there’s nothing to be done about it, but Rimadyl helps. My new foster mom also thinks if I lose some weight it will make a difference, I suppose there is too much junk in my trunk! Otherwise, I am a healthy 6-year-old and love everyone. I have had all my shots, am spayed and heartworm negative.


I really want my own home again. Are you my special person????? To meet me, please email
daldogrescue@yahoo.com or daldoglady@netzero.net. My adoption donation is $100. Home and vet checks are required.


If you don’t have a home for me, would you please SPONSOR me? It would be a big help to the rescue who has many other special dogs like me.
 

Panda is up-to-date with routine shots, house trained and spayed/neutered.

Belle
BelleJackR.jpg

Belle is a wonderful Jack Russell, approximately six to seven years old, looking for a home to spend the rest of her life in. Belle is deaf and has learned to communicate her needs. She came to Animal Friends Society after she suffered bit wounds from another dog. Her former owner had her treated for heartworms and Belle is hearworm free and would love a yard where she could chase lizards to her heart's content and come to cuddle in her own soft bed.

Belle is spayed, up to date on vaccines, microchipped, wormed for intestinal parasites, and started on a monthly flea and heartworm preventative.

Belle's adoption fee is $150.00. Animal Friends Society is a non-profit 501 (c)(3) organization and we rely on donations to continue to save and care for the animals that come our way. Our adoption fees help us to continue our mission of spaying and neutering.

For more information on Belle, please email animalfriendssociety@hotmail.com or call (813) 240-4993.

Marly
Marly.jpg

Marly is, a sweet, loveable little American Bulldog born on November 21st. She is looking for her Forever Home. She came to Animal Friends Society when it was discovered that she was deaf and her family thought it best for her to find a home with someone experienced with deaf dogs, or willing to go through the training necessary for a deaf dog.

Marly is spayed, up to date on vaccines (age appropriate), microchipped, wormed for intestinal parasites, and started on a monthly flea preventative.

Marly's adoption fee is $150.00. Animal Friends Society is a non-profit 501 (c)(3) organization and we rely on donations to continue to save and care for the animals that come our way. Our adoption fees help us to continue our mission of spaying and neutering.

Valentino

Valentino needs a home as soon as possible.
I am guessing that Valentino is about 6 months old.  He is loosing baby teeth.  He looks like a mix of Lab and Doberman or Coonhound.  He has a sweet temperament.  I can touch him while he eats and he doesn't get upset.

Email Brendavent@aol.com if you are interested 

Claire - Sweet Def Bull Terrier
Claire1.JPG Claire2.JPG Claire3.JPG

Claire is a 1-2 yr old white female bull terrier mix.  She is deaf and is a little cross eyed.  But boy does she have loads of personality.  She is current on shots and I will have her spayed if a rescue will take her and find a home for her.  She is dog friendly and loves to be around people.  She was found as a stray wondering the streets in Putnam County, Florida.  Putnam is a high kill shelter and she would not have been able to be there long or would have been adopted for pit bull bait.  She does not mess inside.  Her tail is always wagging and as soon as she sees you her whole demeanor brightens up.
For further information, contact Louise Kuttler; Phone: 352-481-3082; E-Mail: sunkiva@bellsouth.net; 120 Woodbine Lane, Hawthorne, FL  32640

Notice: There are so many pets looking for forever homes that it is hard to keep up with who has found a home and who has not.  Once a posting is made, it will stay on the web site for about one month, and then be removed to allow focus on newer adoptees. If you are able to place a pet, please let us know because that is GREAT news.  If you want to keep a pet listed longer, please let us know by clicking here to send an e-mail.
