Happy Tails

Doobie & Dixie

I have sent you a few pictures of the kids, whom we have nicknamed ‘Double Trouble.’ They are growing like little weeds!

Pele

She is sooo comfortable in her new home. She sleep pressed up against me from 11:30 pm til 7:15 am. Perfect!

Sharon Kelly

Mister

Thought you might like to see some pictures of Mister. I have been meaning to send them to you for a while now.

He is such a good dog. Everyone loves him. We walk about 3 times a day; everyone in my neighborhood loves to say “Hi Mister.”

He has a wonderful disposition – very calm and loving. He rarely…

Kiki

Here are some pictures of my baby girl. I adopted Kiki to be a companion for my other cat, Phoenix, a feral kitten I rescued from the brink of death when I lived in St. Petersburg.

I came to the shelter once a week for about 5 weeks and just sat in the cat room, watching their different personalities, to…

Zipper

Here are a few photos of Zipper! Right now she is finding the best sleeping spots around the house. She is settling in wonderfully with her two brothers. She is such a sweet loving girl!

Thank you so much, Denise

Chipper

Thought you might like to see how Chipper has progressed.

Jasper, Lilly, & Gunner

Maggie (was Star)

I spoke with you this past Sunday about Star/Maggie, the basset hound my husband and I rescued from the shelter. You mentioned you like to get pictures and I wanted to send you some! As I said on the phone, she has just blown us away with how good of a dog she is. We couldn’t be more thankful for getting such a wonderful…

Kodi

I adopted him in 2001 and thought you would like to see some photos of him now. He has been my buddy from day one and I love him so very much. He was there when I lost my other half to cancer and he has been by my side since. I have to admit I have spoiled him rotten,…

Penny

Hi ,

My name is Penny. I found a new home in 2010. Yea! I have a Mom and Dad and a new brother, Jessie (FKSPCA 2002). He’s kind of an old poop but I like him OK. He is a Delta Society therapy dog and goes to Bayshore Manor every week. Mom says I can go when I get…

Lucy

Just wanted to let you know how good Lucy is doing. Today makes a week and so far she is settling in nicely! She fine with the little ones next door as well as the big am. bulldog. They are best buds! We haven’t had her on the boat yet but I think she will be fine. She was VERY…

Honey

Here are some photos of Honey (aka Naomi), and also her best bud – Sassy Cat

Rocco

Thor

This particular photo captures his essence perfectly. Yes, he’s on my bed (that’s where he sleeps, next to me) and has one of my daughter’s shoes in his mouth. He can be a bit of a rascal, but is so darn cute it’s hard to tell him no.

He’s finally open with his kisses and is more confident with being…

Brett

We would like to thank everyone at the FKSPCA for giving Brett a chance at life! Many other shelters would have given up on a pup as sick as Brett was, but you guys brought him back to good health! By doing that, he then in turn, helped us through the loss of our old dog, Rascal. Before Brett came…

Gruff

These are our most recent pictures of Gruff. He loves that bone. We bought him a kennel to travel in and he likes to lay in it during the day with the door open. The kids love him and he loves playing with them.

Abe

Here are three photos we took today of Abe in his new home. He is a wonderful, affectionate dog and we could not be happier. Abe seems pretty happy, too! He greets us at the door, tail wagging, and nuzzling us for plenty of pets. He is relaxed, except when he’s asked if he wants to go for walk, and…

Louis

The first time I met this dog, he jumped on my lap and whispered in my ear to take him home….at least I think that’s what he said. It was hard to tell between all the kisses! My husband wasn’t sure about getting a little dog but he now says that he’s been “charmed” and uses words like gem, sweetheart,…

Manny and Miles

Miles and Manny( used to be Vinny) are playing together in the house now, chase and tug of war and it is a beautiful thing. Vinny seems to be taking it easier and Miles tells him off really good when he doesn’t. He gets along well with others at the park and in the neighborhood and so he has a…

Turk

It’s not often we don’t think of you guys at FKSPCA because you gave Turk a chance at life. We love our boy. And, we are, again, forever grateful for what you all do for so many animals there.

Reggie

He has quite the personality and is such a Ham. Please feel free to share our pics and our kind words on The Reg !

Babe

Here is a picture of Sunday afternoon on the couch. I adopted her early December 2009. She goes to work at times, goes to Walgreens at the clerks request and loves walking when it is cool enough. She loves people in uniform, especially men. She also tries to go home with every deputy we know. What is up with that?…

Rocky

We adopted Rockey in March 2010 for the SPCA in KW Florida. My family couldn’t believe how lucky we were to find this gem. He was 9 months old when we brought him home. He adjusted well to his new home and his new family. I have 2 teenagers and they love to play with him. Especially my 16 year…

Chowder

We got home with no problems.. he slept most of the way and was so good on our stops to pee pee but never did. He is adjusting so well. Only 1 pee accident in the house yesterday… he is doing his duty outside and seems so smart about everything.. one walk around the block last night and he knew our house…

Cappy

We came in to the SPCA unsure of what kind of dog we were looking for. All we knew was that our almost 3 year old wanted a dog and we wanted a “rescue”. We looked a a few dogs but didn’t feel that instant attraction with any of them. Just as we were about to leave my husband did a…

Peachie

Peachie went home today with a couple in their fifties. They seemed wonderful for him. All their children are away at college and they had an empty nest. I waited until someone really right came along. They are getting a great dog! I was in love.

FKSPCA Note: The Florida Keys SPCA often works with rescue groups to broaden the…

Phoebe

We went on our first walk with the girls and Daja was overly excited, of course, but Phoebe did great! She walks better on a leash than Daja does after a year. I guess it could be new surroundings also. She is doing great with the sitting on command and actually isn’t jumping on us as much. We have them…

Sookie

Sookie is doing so well with us. She hasn’t been near as hyper as we were preparing ourselves for. She just settled right into our home like she’s been there forever. We still have to work on her potty training, but otherwise she is being super good. She is being great with the kids and loves to play in the…

Salty Dog

Sometimes old dogs get lucky and our Salty is one of those dogs! A big black nine-year old Rottweiller mix is not a dog the average person is looking for when they come to the shelter to adopt. So Salty’s story is an inspiration to all of us and we want to share it with you. Salty came to us…

Freedom

Some dogs seem destined to travel the world and one of our adoptees, Freedom, is definitely one of those dogs. His journeys began with a boat trip across the waters from Cuba to Key West, where he was surrendered to us in 2006. An initial exam revealed a bad case of heartworm, which required treatment before this little shepherd mix…

Boo Boo

When Boo Boo’s owners were evicted by their landlord, they simply abandoned the eight-year-old calico. When staff went to pick her up following a call from the landlord, they found a cowering, traumatized cat.

Over the next few weeks, Kitty Garvey, who has been caring for the cats at the shelter for over nine years, tried to help Boo Boo…

Shiloh

Shiloh’s Happy Tail is all about hurricanes. It starts in 2005 with Hurricane Wilma. That’s when this 7 year-old Shepherd mix lost her first home. Her family evacuated and left her behind. Fortunately she survived the storm but found herself homeless. A kind gentleman took pity on her and began feeding her. She soon was considered part of the family,…

Oscar

Oscar staying at the Ritz Carlton in Key Biscayne

THE BRAVE LITTLE SCHNAUZER WHO CAPTURED A COMMUNITY’S HEART

Remember Oscar? The little schnauzer that was thrown from a moving vehicle on Duval Street? Apart from his broken bones, Oscar needed treatment for heartworms and if that weren’t enough, his coat was matted and infested with fleas. Oscar’s story touched many…

Keno

Actually looking to adopt a couple of kittens, my girlfriend didn’t see any that peaked her interest. I said just for fun let’s look at the dogs, not really looking to adopt one, that is until we came to the end and saw him, Red, now known as Keno, a 6 month old Pit Bull, Amer. Bulldog mix. For me…

Luna – Beebo Gets a Sister

Beebo

Beebo is a living legend at the Florida Keys SPCA! There are few dogs who paid as many visits to us as he did before he finally came to live with us. He was always getting away from his family and either we would get a call to come get him or someone would bring him to us. Never a…

Casey

Dear Kathy and shelter friends,

I have been at my new home for almost 2 months now. I thought you would like to know that my new family really loves me & I love them. At first I wasn’t quite sure what to think of all the new adventures they took me on but now I love to go to…

Tela

I’m sending you a couple of pictures of Tela at the beach last week, she really really enjoys it and she loves swimming, she is also very good at playing fetch, I thought you would enjoy them. Please enjoy the pictures and feel free to share them with the rest of SPCA family and, hopefully we will get to see…

Star

Starr

Starr is the perfect match for Nanny, she is very protective of her and is doing sooooo well. We have family here from Maine visiting and Starr just goes with the flow. She is such a part of the family ,she hangs with the crowd and loves to be the center of attention. Like you say, such a Happy Tail.…

Scrappy

I have just completed the adoption process at the Key West SPCA. Currently, I have a beautiful and inordinately affectionate Min. Pin., Fritz. Moving here from Va. required a separation from his best friend, Cha Cha, a deer face white Chihuahua. Secretly, I have wanted a friend for Fritz for some time, since my arrival.

A little face in the…

Murphy and Coco

Mario Andretti

Hi! My Mom said it is time I should write to you and let you know how great it is living here in Virginia Beach with my Mom and Dad, Barb and Mike! I heard from some friends at our recent get together in Williamsburg that they had visited you while they were in Key West. We were going to…

Layla

Kaya

Kaya—First Update

Hi All,

I wanted to share some news & pictures of Kaya. She’s adapting extremely well to her new home. The Girls have decided she’s not so bad after all and have not only accepted her, but they’re playing often. She has become quite the hunter, stalking and attacking her “prey” with gusto! The poor stuffed animals don’t…

Kahlua

Thank you very much for my new puppy. She fits in well with the family.

Everyone loves her.

Carl Schror

Jazzy

She loves dragging this toy all around. She is so playful and full of life. . .

This is Jazzy and our other dog Smokey. They so love to play, run, eat, and animal watch together…

Joe L.

Daisy

Sorry I missed your call yesterday. Miss Daisy is doing FABULOUS! It’s as if she lived here with Molly and me all her life! She does great riding in the car. She only had 2 pee accidents in the house the first evening, both induced by Molly being a bit territorial.

It really does seem like she picks up signals…

Crusoe and Coral

I just wanted to send you a few pictures of Crusoe and Coral that were taken recently. They are doing well. Crusoe is coming along wonderfully – he is such a big sweetheart. The 2 of them play so much every day. I think they are great for each other. Thanks again for your time and help with everything.

Boomer

Well, we’re happy to report he is doing great and has been nothing but wonderful! He is still just as sweet and gentle as ever, has a bunch of friends and loves going out on the boat. He weighed in at 118 pounds a few months ago, so we backed off on the treats and he’s at 110…still big.

Tommy,…

Biscuit

I have attached a few photo’s for you-had to put some on my facebook for all my friends to see!! Biscuit cried all the way home-once he got in the house you would have thought he lived here forever! He was so happy. His little tail has not stopped wagging! He got his new “baby’ and jumped into his new…

Benny

Beebo

I took these pics of Beebo this morning. I didn’t put him this way, that’s how I found him right before it was time to come to work. Porknbeans sleeps with me too, but she’s an early bird. She’s ready to start the day at 6 am. Barking at the neighbor’s dog and running with Francis. Beebo, on the other…

Austin

Austin has truly become a member of our family. Once he got use to his new surroundings, he really seemed to settle in and make himself at home. Andrea said he is the best thing I have given her since the children, and Austin clearly loves her just as much as she loves him. The children also love having him…

Angel

Please find attached an awesome gift that we “acquired”. We got her from the SPCA in Key West. Her family had to leave town and could not bring her. She is 5 years, 2 months old and is very well trained. She loves people and other dogs. We could not be happier. I was not to keen with the name…

Jack

Little Jack came to us with his sister Jill. Both were young little Chihuahuas who suffered from a lack of socialization and were extremely fearful of anyone they didn’t know. Both dogs would need very special homes with patient, sensitive, and understanding families willing to work with them. Although Jill was initially the more shy of the two, Jack ultimately…

Posey

Posey had a long history with the Florida Keys SPCA. This little Chihuahua first came to us when she and her sister-dog were surrendered by their owner. Her sister got adopted quickly but it took Posey a bit longer due to her rather odd and sometimes worrisome behaviors.

Among other things, Posey was frightened of her food bowl and wouldn’t…

Turbo

Dear Friends of FKSPCA,

Turb T. (Termite) Pecora is the joy of my heart! One would never believe he was once a “fearful” dog. Turbo has evolved into the family caretaker, a proud and confident alpha leader (always taking the front of the line) and a dear little friend who loves to cuddle (especially when I read aloud to him!).…

Tater Tot

Sally and Bossy

Last June when I heard it was Adopt a Cat month, I decided it was time to welcome a couple of cats into my home. It had been almost a year since the passing of my 16 year-old cat, Spaz, and I wanted two cats who could occupy each other when I was gone during the day. I knew I…

Remy

Here are a few pictures of our precious little one … thank you so much for helping make our family complete! We adore him!

Paul & Paris Tannish

P.S. we call him Remy (named after the little mouse in the movie Ratatouille). He adapted to the new name right away and has made our family complete!

Nina, Cody & Yuyo

Joseph & Tommy

Copa Joe

I was wanting a dog for some time now and never really considered a ‘shelter dog’, I just decided to stop in on my day off, and saw this beautiful, gentle, playful goof ball running around his pen, pushing the top half, of a two piece dog house with his nose, barking at it! He came running right up to…

Cindy

Chopper

Thought you would like a family picture of us. We’re so happy with Chopper in our lives. He’s funny, smart, active, lazy and stubborn. Just like Keith and myself. Chopper enjoys being outside, the beach, walks and prefers his booty rubbed over his belly. He’ll be celebrating his 4^th birthday on August 13. He’s coming along in training, but we…

Chili & Dottie

Bernard & Helen

Bart

Bart was left in the shelter drop-off pen with a bright red collar on but no other information on his history. He was adopted out once and due to his high-energy AND high intelligence, he proved to be a challenging young dog and was promptly returned to the shelter. Sometimes the smarter the dog, the more they require of their…

Baby

We’ve had Baby (aka Hillary) for a couple of months now and we’re truly blessed! She is THE sweetest, BEST dog ever!!! Her temperament is sweet as can be, she’s smart, not a yapper and has had very few issues. I would say she was verbally abused in the past so there is no yelling in our house, which a…
