🚨💔 SHY GUY HAS UNTIL TOMORROW, OCTOBER 15! 💔🚨

He found comfort in ONE person. Now he needs someone to give him a future.

Shy Guy is five years old. He arrived at Broward County Animal Care as a terrified stray in August, frightened of the unfamiliar people and surroundings.

Over the past two months, this beautiful boy has developed a special bond with one staff member. Someone familiar. Someone he trusts. Perhaps someone who makes this scary place feel a little safer. ❤️

I first met Shy Guy in August while completing my volunteer shadowing hours. Today, I went back to spend some time with him.

He came out of his kennel without difficulty, walked beautifully on leash, and enjoyed being outside.

Shy Guy has a documented history of resource guarding involving food and treats, which has limited his handling and enrichment at the shelter. While I did not observe resource guarding during our outing today, he did display mounting behavior that required redirection.

He needs an adopter or rescue partner who understands his behavioral needs and is prepared to work with him safely.

But here’s what I hope people remember:

Shy Guy is more than his fear. More than his challenges. More than the behaviors he’s displayed in a stressful shelter environment.

He’s a dog who has learned to trust someone. A dog who can be playful and affectionate. A dog who deserves to be understood.

And tomorrow, his time runs out. 💔

🚨 COMMITMENT DEADLINE: THURSDAY, OCTOBER 15

🐾 Shy Guy — #A2479469
🐾 5 years old | Male | 59 lbs

Nothing fancy. Just Sparky being a happy boy, enjoying his bed, his toy, and the simple things.

He’s playful, affectionate, house-trained, and happiest when he’s close to his people. Moments like this are a little reminder of what a wonderful companion he can be.

And yes, this handsome boy is still looking for his permanent home. He’s ready for someone who will love him, keep him comfortable, and let him enjoy many more days just like this.

Could you be Sparky’s forever family?

UPDATE: Progress! We have a foster commitment in FL which means we can get Joy to safety tomorrow. Stay tuned for more pics and her rescue story!

URGENT foster/forever home need, in South Florida at least to start. "Joy" needs a place to go by Tuesday (22 Sept) or Wednesday (23rd) she'll go to a shelter in Nassau. The Nassau shelters are already full; Bimini does not want to add to their burden. And Joy deserves more than a shelter. Joy is
--Female (spayed)
--Long-ish haired potcake
--DOB 25 Dec 2025
--UTD on vaccines
--Microchipped
--Experience in crate
--Often tied in yard with cats about (they ignore each other)
--No leash walking experience
--An energetic girl, just as you'd expect for her age

Please message @StraysOfBimini if you can help!!

🚨 Adoption Dog “Dori” the Mini Doodle! Share her story to help Dori find the perfect home. She is a special needs case! She can run, walk and jump just fine! ☝️ But, because she was hit by a car she is slow to get standing, and sits funny.
X-Rays: showed no broken bones! However, she did not get an MRI. She dribbles urine from excitement only, and is not fully incontinent. Please call Clint Moore Animal Hospital ☎️ 561-487-0226 if you want to adopt Dori! Thank you, Dr. Lindsay Butzer

It’s been 3 months, and I still can’t believe no one has come for this sweet boy. 💔

The longer Luxy stays with us, the more his little personality shines—and it’s impossible not to fall in love with him.

He sleeps with his tiny tongue sticking out, and it’s the cutest thing ever. 🥹

When it’s time to go potty or after bath time, he doesn’t walk…he does these adorable little bunny hops like an excited baby. It makes us laugh every single time.

The funny thing is, Luxy is so quiet that you almost forget he’s there. He rarely barks. In fact, he’ll only bark if he needs to go outside, his water bowl is empty, or he’s reminding you that it’s mealtime. That’s it. 💁🏼‍♀️

One thing we’ve learned is that this sweet senior has so much pride. He absolutely refuses to poop in the house. If he has to go, he’ll let you know…and he’ll keep letting you know until someone takes him outside. He just wants to be a good boy.

At around 10 years old, Luxy is about 80% deaf & sees a little blurry, but don’t let that fool you. He’s incredibly attentive and follows his people everywhere. He loves slow walks, golf cart rides, naps, soft food, and simply being close to the people he loves.

I know many people scroll past senior dogs looking for puppies, but they’re missing out on something really special. Senior dogs ask for so little, yet they give so much.

Luxy deserves a family that sees him the way we do—not as an old dog, but as a loving companion with so much life and love left to give.

If you’ve ever thought about adopting a senior, please consider Luxy. And if you can’t adopt, sharing his story could be what finally helps him find the home he’s been waiting for. ❤️🐾
