Protecting Paws For Life

One of our Project Pups needs your help in finding his new home! Barnacle Bob is a 2 year old short stack who doesn’t like his kennel at the shelter and would much prefer your couch and a yard to bury his toys in.

He is super friendly and social, loves to meet new people and loves other dogs; though he’s not that great at sharing with other dogs so would do best as a solo dog at home and having play dates or social time with others. He loves car rides and wouldn’t mind accompanying you on errands to all of those dog-friendly places. Bonus if it’s a restaurant where you accidentally drop food from your plate!

He’s a perfect little companion and would love to meet his forever family.

Please email us at [email protected] if you would like more info or to arrange a meeting. Or you can go down to the shelter and ask for him. He is currently at Pinellas County Animal Services.

Today we celebrate Juneteenth - a day of freedom, resilience, remembrance, and hope. ❤️🖤💚

At Protecting Paws for Life, we honor the strength of families and communities while continuing our mission to keep people and their pets together during times of crisis. Freedom means safety, compassion, and ensuring no one has to choose between their wellbeing and the animals they love.

As we reflect on history and celebrate progress, we stand united in building a future rooted in equality, kindness, and support for both people and pets.

Happy Juneteenth from Protecting Paws for Life! 🐾
