Loki, a Puggle mix

Meet Loki! Loki is a 3 year old male Puggle mix and he weighs about 20 pounds. He arrived in rescue when his previous family was no longer able to care for him. He has settled into foster care, but would love a family to call his own. His foster mom says, "Hi everybody, meet Loki. Like his namesake, he is a little mischievous and likes to chase squirrels and lizards. He does not have an “off button” and is always trying to play. Tug is one of his favorite games and he likes it when the humans play too. He is working on his house training and is improving with more of a set schedule. He will sometimes use a potty pad as a backup. Loki walks well on a leash but will need a harness for walks, or even a quick potty break. He has a tendency of trying to escape his collar. Once he warms up to you, Loki likes to be around people and will follow you around the house. He wants to sleep on a human bed, but he doesn’t stop playing so if you want any sleep, you’ll have to put him up for the night. Loki doeesn't like to cuddle. He currently sleeps on a dog bed in the primary bathroom and is pretty good with sleeping through the night.

Loki will play with other dogs but should really be the only dog in his forever home as he doesn’t like to share his food or treats and gets anxious when other pups are around at meal/snack time. I don’t think he would like to have a cat or any small animals. He also doesn’t realize his strength, so he shouldn’t have a family with younger than 13 year old kids around." Loki is neutered, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative, microchipped and has had his teeth cleaned. He is fostered in the Orlando area and his adoption donation is $275.

Nicole, a Yorkie

Meet Nicole! Nicole is a 10-12 year old female Yorkie and she weighs about 9 pounds. She arrived in rescue when her previous family could no longer care for her. Nicole has settled into foster care, but would love a family to call her own again. Her foster mom says: Nicole is a sweet girl that loves to be held. She is timid and shy at first, but her personality comes out more as she adapts to her new environment. She loves to be held 24/7 and has to be the dog closest to you at all times. She is 100% a velcro dog and she loves belly rubs. Nicole is quiet and doesn’t bark much. You can take her everywhere as long as you are by her side.

She is good with other dogs or by herself. We are not sure about cats. She doesn’t walk well on a leash, so a fenced yard is needed for potty time. However, for going places, she is great in a sling. She is house trained and puppy pad trained. She goes out frequently and will use the puppy pads if you can’t take her out as often. No crate is needed, she will sleep in a dog bed next to the human. Her ideal adopter should be retired or work from home. Nicole is spayed, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative, microchipped and has had her teeth cleaned. She is fostered in the Orlando area and her adoption donation is $275.

Mandy, a Yorkie/Poodle mix

Meet Mandy! Mandy is a 6-8 year old female Yorkie/Poodle mix and she weighs about 20 pounds. She arrived in foster care after coming from a home with too many dogs that could not properly care for them. She has settled into her foster home well and is ready to find a forever home to call her own. Her foster mom says, "Mandy is incredibly smart, confident and adventurous. She's a dedicated lizard/squirrel hunter. So much so, that when she is outside, it is hard to get her back in. She will run from you and bark to tell you she's not ready to end her adventures. When she wants to go outside to play, she is very persistent and vocal until you go out with her. No shared walls for this girl! When she goes outside, I try to get her to do her business first before the hunting/sniffing begins. She is also very good on a harness and leash and she loves going for walks and car rides. Mandy has no problems going into a crate and although she likes it, she's been introduced to sleeping on a doggie bed in her human's room. She likes her independence and is not touchy-feely but is very demanding for attention.

She's a people dog, very friendly to humans. However, not so friendly to other dogs, especially female dogs. She dislikes having her nails dremeled, but I've been slowly working up her confidence with it. She tolerates baths. Although she does well in a crate (goes in without a fuss, no accidents in there), she dislikes not being able to see her human and is very vocal for about it at bedtime. She doesn't like being alone. Mandy still isn't a fan of being petted but with time and trust, hopefully that will change. She is treat motivated, so that should help. I believe she'd make a great companion for someone in a one dog household that has a single family home due to her barking and not being gone a full workday. I'm not sure how she would do with children, but since she's easily excitable, I don't think being around younger children would be good fit." Mandy is spayed, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative, microchipped and has had her teeth cleaned! She is fostered in the Orlando area and her adoption donation is $300.

Rusty, a French Bulldog/Akita mix

Meet Rusty! Rusty is a 3 month old French Bulldog/Akita mix and he weighs about 12 pounds. Please know Rusty is a growing puppy and could grow up to weigh over 50 pounds. He was born in foster care after his momma arrived in rescue heavily pregnant. Mom is a pure French Bulldog and according to the DNA test, dad was an Akita, but in looking at him and his littermates, it’s like mom’s genes didn’t even really try, LOL. He has been in a loving foster home since arriving via c-section and has been thriving. He is an active puppy that will need a family up for all things puppyhood brings - leash training, house training, socialization and learning that flip flops are for feet, not food.

The entire litter are happy, bouncy, rambunctious boys who love to play, but also love to snuggle their humans and see what mischief they can get into.They will need a family that will make sure to work on their continued socialization as both breeds can be known for their protective tendencies if not properly socialized starting at a young age. His foster mom says. "Rusty is a true sweetheart! He is a ton of fun and always up for an adventure and playtime. They are still very new at house training and leash training, but he is working on it! Rusty is a precious pup and going to bring a lucky family a lot of joy and love!" Rusty is neutered, up to date on vaccines, on flea and heartworm prevention and microchipped. He is fostered in the Orlando area and his adoption donation is $450.

Jack, a Chihuahua/Corgi mix

Meet Jack! Jack is an 11 month old male Chihuahua/corgi mix and he weighs about 16 pounds. He arrived in rescue when his previous family could no longer care for him. He has settled into foster care nicely, but would love a forever family to call his own. His foster mom says,"Jack is such a personable, gentle loving pup. He is very sweet and loves anyone willing to give him attention. He is good with new people but may take a few minutes to open up but once he does, he wants to be their best friend. Jack seems to trend towards women first, but right behind is any man in his life. Jack walks very well on a leash and harness for his outings, but I think he would prefer a yard for everyday potty breaks.

He prefers longer walks and really enjoys getting out of the house. Jack rides decently in the car. He is kenneled at night and when we leave. He’s relatively quiet in the kennel, and settles nicely, until he hears us come in. He really enjoys toppers and different additives to his food, which really encourages him to eat. Jack is never against having an extra snack. He’s had a couple accidents in the crate, but had been perfect in the house. Jack does very well with other dogs, but doesn’t require them to be happy. He is just fine being the only dog, soaking up all the attention he can get. He seems interested in toys, but hasn’t really played with them. Jack is also good with dog savvy kids. If you want a sweet, loving pup, who thrives on love Jack is your guy!" Jack is neutered, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative and microchipped. He is fostered in the Orlando area and his adoption donation is $325.

Dawson, a Shih-Poo

Meet Dawson! Dawson is a 4 month old male Shih-Poo and he weighs about weigh 6 pounds, but he could grow up to weigh 15-20 pounds. He arrived in rescue after coming from a home with too many other pups that could not properly care for them. He has been in a loving foster home since arriving in rescue and has been thriving. He is an active puppy that will need a family up for all things puppyhood brings - leash training, house training, socialization and learning that flip flops are for feet, not food. “Doodle Mixes” are very smart and very active and need a family that will understand this, as well as their grooming needs.

His foster mom says, "Dawson is a mischievous little puppy. He is always trying to find out what’s over here or looks at me like “Wait what’s over there?” and learning “Oh! I couldn’t reach that yesterday but today I can!” or “Let’s see what happens when I pull on this?” the looks at me with “Wait who me…no look how cute I am I could not have possibly made this mess. Quick pick me up and rub my tummy!” He is adorable but will need a family that looks past his cuteness to help him obtain proper manners." Dawson neutered, up to date on vaccines, microchipped and on flea and heartworm prevention. He is fostered in the Orlando area and his adoption donation is $525.

Teddy, a Maltese/Yorkie mix

Meet Teddy! Teddy is a 5 year old male Maltese/Yorkie mix and he weighs about 11 pounds. He arrived in rescue when his previous family could no longer care for him. He has settled into foster care and is doing great, but is ready to find a forever family to call his own! His foster mom says:, "Meet Teddy, the terrific! Teddy would want you to know he is pure adorableness. You could easily mistake him for a muppet. He is also quite the talker. If you are not familiar with pups who talk it can be a bit scary at first, but he likes to climb up on you with his face pressed to yours, his snout next to your ear and loudly grrr, grrr, grrrr. The more you pet him the longer it goes on – his version of a purr. He is a big goofball. He loves to play with toys, he loves to eat, he wants in your lap or next to you as often as he can be. Your purpose in life then becomes wrapped around him – petting him, acting as his mattress, being his companion. He can be a bit jealous of others receiving attention, so care should be taken when children or other pets are around. He is determined pup and a person experienced with dealing with a headstrong dog would be advised. Teddy is quite handsome and has soft, beautiful, fluffy fur and it will take a bit to maintain that gorgeous look. He will need a daily face wash and brushing with regular trips to the groomer. Teddy is the epitome of a Velcro dog. Do you have a lap and a hand? You are what he is looking for. He wants ALL the attention. He does not want to share. He gets upset when you leave the house and is very excited when you return.

Gone to the mailbox, for 5 minutes, gone for the day? It won’t matter – he’s excited you are back! Teddy is good in the backyard to explore. On a leash he pulls some, but is just happy being out and about and with you. Teddy has been around other pups his size and generally gets along well, as long as he is in your lap and receiving ALL the attention. He has not shown any food issues but will quickly check any other bowls to make sure nothing was left behind and will push his nose in front when treats are handed out. Teddy takes to a crate but will express his displeasure for a few minutes, then he calms down and will keep himself occupied with a stuffed toy or bone. He is great with letting you know when he has to go out, he scratches at the door and makes noises for you to notice. When left alone he has been known to mark his territory, so crating when you are not home is advised. This could also be in reaction to the other pups in the home, if a pup has marked their territory, he would be compelled to do the same. He would do quite nicely as an only dog. His bark is a bit loud, so no shared walls of an apartment, townhome, or condo is also advised. Let’s not forget the fact that he is a talker and folks not familiar with a talker may take his attempts at discussion as being mean. As the foster family notes; he has had no sign of aggressive behavior; he is telling his story and folks not familiar with that may not see it the same way. Teddy knows his name, knows the word no, and has been a source of entertainment. This goofball is eagerly awaiting someone who needs a loyal companion, and he is just that guy. He can be a little head strong when he wants. He plays hard and he naps hard, but no outside noise goes unnoticed. We love watching him get the zoomies, usually running full tilt with a toy in his mouth." Teddy is neutered, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative, microchipped and has had his teeth cleaned. He is fostered in the Orlando area and his adoption donation is $350.

Kingsley, a Shih Tzu mix

Meet Kingsley! Kingsley is a 4 year old male Shih Tzu mix and he weighs about 14 pounds. He found himself surrendered to animal services right before Hurricane Milton and in need of a safe place to go, as he was very scared at the shelter. He arrived in rescue and has been doing great and is ready to find a forever family to call his own. His foster mom says, "He is a little shy with new people at first, but with time and a few treats, he comes around. Kingsley loves to leave the house for a walk, where he can sniff around and discover new smells. However, he will bark and bark at other dogs while walking. He also loves the car! He will sit strapped into his doggie car seat and watch the world go by the window! Kingsley would love a family that is home more than they are out.

He has separation anxiety when left alone and doesn’t settle down until you return (so a home without shared walls is ideal). He does MUCH better with a furfriend, so one is needed in his forever home.He is a smart (too smart for his own good sometimes!) and sweet boy. He has been playing and playing with the other foster in the home-he has energy! He can jump mighty high for a little one. Human siblings (older kiddos) would be fine! Kingsley has plenty of energy to run and play in the yard, but he is just as happy curled up next to you on the couch. He does not like being in a crate; he would love to sleep in bed with you. He hasn't had an overnight accident and is crate/house trained as long as he is taken out on a schedule, and you are home. Kingsley would love to be the newest member of your family!" He is neutered, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative, microchipped and has had his teeth cleaned. Kingsley is fostered in the Orlando area and his adoption donation is $325.

Coco, a Chihuahua

Meet Coco! Coco is a 10 year old male Chihuahua and he weighs about 9 pounds. He arrived in rescue when his previous family could no longer care for him. He has settled into foster care nicely but would love a forever family to call his very own. His foster mom says, "Meet my handsome foster boy Coco! He is a sweet guy, but shy at times. Once he is comfortable in his new home, he seeks out affection from you.

He will take a little time to adjust to his new surroundings. He loves to sleep in the bed with his humans and also enjoys hanging out on the couch with you. Coco loves his food/treats and is very treat motivated (although he could use to lose a pound or two which we are working on). Although he currently lives with other pups, he would do best as an only pup (he isn't fond of sharing food/treats). Coco is very excitable when there is a knock on the door and he goes into protection mode, but then quickly calms down. He is not 100% house trained but will use a potty pad if one is available to him. A quiet home without children would be best for him. Coco walks well on a leash and enjoys a short leisurely stroll." He is neutered, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative, microchipped and has had his teeth cleaned. Coco is fostered in the Orlando area and his adoption donation is $275.

Shadow, a Pomeranian/Spitz mix

Meet Shadow! Shadow is a 2 year old male Pomeranian/Spitz mix an he weighs about 16 pounds. He arrived in rescue after his previous family could no longer care for him. His foster mom says, "Meet the most handsome, charming and coolest dude I know, Shadow!! When I tell you this is one of the BEST dogs I have ever met, believe it. He is spunky, eager to please, SO trainable and a complete love bug. If you’re looking for a “shadow”, look no further. He matches his name so perfectly! (No personal space). He has quite a bit of energy, so be prepared for a fun pup! Shadow does amazing on a harness and leash, but also loves a yard to play in. One of his favorite things to do is to go on outings. He greets everyone with such a smile on his face. While he isn’t the biggest barker, I’ve heard him let out one or two little barks when we’re coming inside or when he’s playing with his friends. The first night in his crate, he whined for probably 2 minutes and then settled.

He hasn’t had an accident in the house or in the crate. I crate him while we are gone and at night, but he loves to hangout in bed with us before night time. Shadow’s favorite chill spot is on the couch, but you’ll catch him frogged out on the tile too. Toys are a big thing in this house - we throw them in the air, toss them around & share them with foster fur siblings. He’s been around bigger and smaller dogs and does great with both! Shadow isn’t a giant eater but we’re working on getting better. He needs dog friendly additives to his food to help encourage him to eat...you can tell he was given human food relatively all of his life. Grooming is going to have to be very regular for this pup, so please be prepared for that. Ultimately, he is going to need a family that keeps their house on the cooler side, he has so much hair and cannot be shaved, so he gets hot. Shadow is going to make a family so lucky! If you’re looking for a wonderful companion, look no further!" He is neutered, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative, microchipped and has had his teeth cleaned. Shadow is fostered in the Orlando area and his adoption donation is $350.

Bonnie, a Yorkie

Meet Bonnie! Bonnie is a 10-12 year old female Yorkie and she weighs about 10 pounds. She arrived in rescue when her previous family could no longer care for her. Bonnie has settled into foster care, but would love a family to call her own again. Her foster mom says, "Bonnie is a sweet girl, but is very anxious at first. You need to give her some time. Once she has settled in her personality starts to show. When she gets excited, she taps her feet really fast. She likes to play in her water bowl, but we are working on it. Bonnie likes to be held. She also likes blankets, dog beds and the couch to do her relaxing.

She would be more than happy to sleep in her human's bed every night. She does not play with toys at the moment, although that may change once she settles in more.She gets along well with other dogs but we're not sure about cats. She has a very calm demeanor and would probably be fine with them. Bonnie doesn't need a crate and is housetrained on a schedule. She will use puppy pads when needed. She likes to sit out in the yard with you on a nice sunny day. She does not walk on a leash and will need a fenced area. " Bonnie is spayed, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative, microchipped and has had her teeth cleaned. She is fostered in the Orlando area and her adoption donation is $275.

Abby, a Corgi mix

Meet Abby! Abby is a 1 year old female Corgi (and we think Basset Hound mix) and she weighs about 20 pounds. She arrived in rescue after winding up at animal services just before Christmas in rough shape. They soon discovered Abby had some orthopedic abnormalities and would need a special home. She doesn't let her issues bother her though and she is one of the sweetest, bestest pups there is and is ready to find a forever home as amazing as she is. Her foster mom says, "Oh goodness, I could never say enough about this girl. She can be sweet, spicy and salty within the same 5 minutes. When I picked her up from the shelter, she was completely shut down. After I got her home, she met her foster siblings, got a full belly and immediately started coming out of her shell. Abby has HOD and gets tired very quickly. (Hypertrophic osteodystrophy). HOD is an orthopedic developmental disorder that can cause limping, pain, and swelling of a dog’s joints. A fenced in yard is a MUST for her. She doesn’t do well walking on a leash/collar. Abby will also need a house with carpet or quite a few rugs. Sometimes when she gets tired, her legs fall out from underneath of her - she gets up without a problem. I have smaller and larger dogs and she loves them all.

She holds her own with my bigger ones without an issue. There are times she will hangout with us outside, then come inside after about 30 minutes and put herself in her cage for a nap for about an hour or two. She does love her space/alone time. Abby isn’t a super social girl with people. Once she got comfortable with my fiance and I, she comes out and hangs out with us all the time and wants me to pick her up to put her up on the couch with me. It just takes a bit of time for her to warm up. I tell everyone that comes over, you just have to make Abby love you. She eats her dog food super well and is absolutely house trained in her crate and in the house. Abby rides super well in the car with no issues as well. I call her a work of art, that just needs love and some space. She is ready to be home with you!" Abby is spayed, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative and microchipped. She is fostered in the Orlando area and her adoption donation is $300.

Symphony, a Yorkie mix

Meet Symphony! Symphony is a 2 year old female Yorkie mix and she weighs about 10 pounds. She arrived in rescue from a home with too many dogs that could not properly care for her. She has settled into foster care nicely, but is ready to find a forever family to call her own. Her foster dad says she would like to introduce herself: Hi, my name is Symphony. I’m a very sweet and friendly little girl. However, I am extremely shy and scared at first until I get comfortable with you. I am also scared of sudden movements and loud noises, so it is ideal for me to have a “safe space” where I can go and hide. Once I’m settled and feel safe, I love to run outside and play. I also like attention from my human and treats!

I would prefer a home with no young children or other animals (unless they are smaller than me) and a human who can be home with me most of the day. I currently like to sleep in my crate, but I do not like being locked up during the day. A home without shared walls would be best because I will bark when alone or locked up. I do not walk well on a leash and won't potty on one so I do need a fenced yard please. If you are looking for a sweet and loving new family member and are willing to work with me, then I’m the pup for you! Symphony is spayed, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative, microchipped and has had her teeth cleaned. She is fostered in the Orlando area and her adoption donation is $375.

Potato, a Chihuahua/Yorkie mix

Hi Everyone, Meet Potato! Potato is a 4-6 year old male Chihuahua/Yorkie mix and he weighs about 7 pounds. He arrived in rescue after coming from a home with too many dogs that was unable to care for him. He has settled into foster care nicely but is ready to find a forever family to call his own. His foster mom says, "This pup is a ray of sunshine! There isn’t a lot more he’d rather do than be a couch potato! He does have some energy when you’re up and moving around. Potato loves to be at your feet and doing whatever you’re doing. Taking trips around the neighborhood is something he is super thrilled about...we have to stop to smell everything! He needs to walk on a harness rather than a collar with his leash. We have been very decent with only using the bathroom outside.

He isn’t crated while we are gone or at night, he prefers to sleep in the bed right next to his humans.While he doesn’t have any foster fur brothers and sisters at home, he gets along with other dogs just great, I do have a dog savvy cat and they get along just fine. Potato will definitely need some toys, he plays with them often and uses his big boy voice whenever he’s throwing them in the air. This is really the only time I have heard him bark. He's picked up on fetch, so be prepared for that. Potato’s perfect family is out there for him, waiting to take him on long strolls around the lake and on trips to the beach then to come home and be a couch potato after!" Potato is neutered, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative, microchipped and has had his teeth cleaned. He is fostered in the Orlando area and his adoption donation is $325.

Princess, a Chihuahua/Poodle/Terrier mix

Meet Princess! Princess is a 5 year old Chihuahua/Poodle/Terrier mix and she weighs about 15 pounds. She arrived in rescue after being left at animal services when her family could not care for her. She was very scared there and needed to decompress in a foster home. She has settled in well and her foster mom says she would like to introduce herself: Hi! My name is Princess. My foster mommy calls me Pretty Pretty Princess! I love my foster mommy, but I am ready to find a family of my own. I would love to be a spoiled only "princess". While I get along with the other dogs in the house.

I don't like the others joining me with my foster mommy snuggling on the couch watching reruns on TV (my favorite show is Mama's Family). I like to tuck myself in under a blanket to sleep. If you want to get my attention, food works every time! I'm very cautious around new people but once I get to know you, I'll be your best friend! I do not really like men very much and will bark at them, so I really need a girls-only home please!" Princess is spayed, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative, microchipped and has had her teeth cleaned. She is fostered in the Orlando area and her adoption donation is $300.

Jellybean, a Terrier/Poodle mix

Meet Jellybean! Jellybean is a 2-3 year year old male Terrier/Poodle mix and he weighs about 18 pounds. He arrived in rescue after coming from a home with too many dogs that was not able to properly care for them. He has been settling into foster care and his foster mom says he would like to introduce himself as he begins to look for his forever family: Hi! My name is Jellybean and I am as sweet as my name! If you are looking for a loyal, loving companion, I'm your guy. I love my foster mommy, but I am ready to find a family of my own. I get very excited when my person comes home and can jump pretty high, My foster mommy says that I might not be good around small children because of that.

I would never try to hurt anyone, but she says I don't know my own strength and can be ram-bunk-shus, whatever that means.I love my fenced in yard but also can walk on a leash. I have to confess, if there is yummy smelling food left on the counter, I will take it. I've figured out how to get up on my foster mommy's kitchen counters. I just can't help myself! I also am somewhat selective of men in my life, so it may take me longer to warm up to them. If you think I would fit in with your family, please reach out. I would love to meet you! I promise you will love me as much as I will love you!" Jellybean is neutered, up to date on vaccines, heart worm negative, microchipped and has had his teeth cleaned. He is fostered in the Orlando area and his adoption donation is $350.
