Sheba, Plott hound and German shepherd mix
Sheba is a lovable female Plott hound and German shepherd mix in the care of Furever Yours Pet Rescue and Placement Services.
Sheba loves to socialize — she's happy to keep company with kids, cats and dogs. Sheba is spayed, microchipped and vaccinated. She's already house-trained.
Notes from Sheba's caretakers:
Sheba is a chilled out, sweet girl who absolutely adores children. She is seven years old and weighs 55 pounds. Her owner became ill and could no longer care for her, so she is in foster care. The ideal home is calm but fun and has children or grandchildren.

Kota, Akita
Kota is a lovable female Akita dog currently residing at Paw Print Hearts, Inc.
Kota has been vaccinated and spayed. She is already house-trained.
Notes from Kota's caretakers:
This three-and-a-half-year-old gal is a typical Akita. She's very loyal and gets attached to her family. She's not a fan of dog beds and prefers sleeping on floor. She loves to be brushed and will stand for a long time just letting you brush her. We want to place her in a home without younger children, but older kids are fine.
Apply to adopt Kota today at Petfinder.
Duke, black mouth cur mix
Duke is a male black mouth cur mix staying at Paw Print Hearts, Inc.
Duke gets along well with other dogs. Have no fear: He's already house-trained. Duke is already neutered and vaccinated.
Notes from Duke's caretakers:
Duke gets along with kids and other dogs but has never been around cats. When it comes to playtime, he loves toys and being in the water. He has lots of energy, so a house with a yard is ideal.

Maxx, retriever and hound mix
Maxx is a lovable male retriever and hound mix being kept at Humane Society of Tampa Bay.
Maxx's vaccinations are up to date, and he is neutered.
From Maxx's current caretaker:
Maxx still has lots of puppy energy, so he needs a patient family who is willing to train him and help him stay active.
Apply to adopt Maxx today at Petfinder.
Corky, hound mix
Corky is a male hound mix currently residing at Humane Society of Tampa Bay.
Corky is already neutered, and he has had all of his shots.
Corky's current caretakers say:
Corky needs to be adopted by someone who has experience with large, strong breeds and doesn't have any small children in the home, as he can play pretty rough and has lots of energy. If you have an existing canine, it's best for you to bring him or her over for a visit to be sure you all become fast friends.
