This tiny girl needs a home! Pretty in pink! 💞

✨ SHE’S CALLED SPARKLER FOR A REASON. ✨

She may only weigh 9 pounds, but this little girl has plenty of personality packed into that tiny body. 😂❤️

Sparkler is 4 years old, housebroken, and knows exactly what she likes.

🌳 Running around the backyard
🚗 Going for car rides
🐾 Taking walks
🧸 Collecting ALL the toys — because apparently they’re all hers

Sparkler can be shy when she first meets you, so she needs someone willing to give her a little time and respect her boundaries. But once she feels comfortable with you, that shy little girl turns into a total lovebug. ❤️

Her perfect home is a little more specific: Sparkler needs an adult home with no kids and must be the only animal.

She isn't looking for a house full of people and pets.

She’s looking for her person.

Someone to take the walks.
Someone to go on the car rides.
Someone to throw the toys.
And someone she can finally call hers. ❤️

✨ 4 years old | 9 lbs | Housebroken | Only pet | No kids

Thank you Jennifer Boutwell for fostering!

So cute!

📰🐾 This week’s Sunday Bark is hot off the press!

Meet Patrick — Tampa Bay’s most eligible bachelor who is beginning to seriously question the local dating scene. 😂❤️

Patrick has put himself out there at adoption events. He worked the crowd. He flashed that handsome face. He showed everyone what a friendly, social guy he is.

And somehow… not a single application. 😭

Patrick loves dogs of ALL sizes and ages and is ready for something serious. No games. No situationships. He’s looking for a lifelong commitment, a family of his own and, preferably, a comfortable spot on the couch. 🛋️❤️

Patrick was originally found as a stray and brought to Hillsborough County Pet Resource Center, so we don’t know much about his life before rescue. What we do know is that he’s now safe with Howling Hounds Sanctuary Rescue and still waiting for “The One.”

🐾 Available through Howling Hounds Sanctuary Rescue
📍 Greater Tampa Bay area
🌐 dogsrgr8.com
📧 [email protected]
📞 (763) 202-3787

Two adoption events. Zero applications. One very eligible bachelor.

📰 Share Patrick and help his next headline be: HE FOUND THE ONE! ❤️

Fontino was saved from euthanasia …can you give him a home?

⚠️ WARNING: DO NOT ADOPT THIS PIT BULL. ⚠️

…unless you're prepared for:

🧸 A grown man who takes his toys VERY seriously.

🚗 A copilot who thinks every car ride is his next great adventure.

😂 Being grunted at when your treat service is too slow.

🪟 A self-appointed neighborhood watch captain perched at the window.

🥾 A walking buddy who can go for miles…then come home and take an equally impressive nap.

❤️ 65 pounds of brindle smoosh who REALLY loves his people.

Still willing to take the risk? 😏

Meet Fontino. ❤️

He's 7 years old, 65 pounds, and has been waiting 16 MONTHS for a family of his own.

And somehow, after everything life has handed him, this dog just keeps finding reasons to be happy.

Fontino was picked up as a stray on the streets of Seffner in August 2024. He spent five months living in a shelter kennel. No one came for him, and eventually, he was given a euthanasia deadline.

When his time was up, Winston’s Friends - Tampa Dogs came for him. ❤️

Since then, a dedicated team of volunteers has spent 16 months giving him the training, structure, care and love he deserved all along.

And Fontino?

He's still goofy. Still trusting. Still loving people. Still obsessed with his toys. Still excited for car rides. Still ready for whatever adventure comes next.

He's crate trained, has good house manners, loves kids and even has a good history with cats. With dogs, he prefers calmer companions and tends to do best with small-to-medium dogs and females. He can be a little jumpy when he's excited to see you, but it's all love and he settles quickly.

He needs someone consistent and dependable who will give him the structure and love he thrives with — and his training is covered.

⚠️ So consider yourself warned:

Adopting this pit bull may result in toy hoarding, excessive napping, enthusiastic neighborhood surveillance, treat-related grunting, spontaneous adventures and 65 pounds of brindle sweetness becoming your new best friend. ❤️

📍 Tampa Bay, FL
🐾 7 years old | 65 lbs
👧 Loves kids
🐱 Good history with cats
🐶 Best with calmer, compatible dogs
🏠 Crate trained & house-mannered
🚗 Excellent adventure buddy
❤️ Professional smoosh

Fontino was saved on the day of his euthanasia deadline.

Sixteen months later, he's still waiting for someone to choose him.

Please SHARE. His person may simply not have seen him yet. ❤️

Application and additional information can be found in the comments.

Thank you Brown Dan for fostering him!
