Chester, a Chihuahua/Corgi mix
 

Meet Chester! Chester is an 11 week old male Chihuahua/Corgi mix puppy and he weighs about 5 pounds. He is still growing, but we expect him to stay under 25 pounds full grown, but we can’t promise that. Chester arrived in rescue after his mom was rescued from a home with too many dogs and was not being cared for. He has been raised in a loving foster home since he was born. 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. His foster mom says, "Chester is a sweet boy.

 
You can see the Chihuahua side of his personality in that he can be a bit dramatic. He likes to howl sometimes, which is the Corgi side coming through. He will also “talk” to you, so a home without shared walls will be best for him. Chester is a very social guy and loves to play with the other pups and with his toys. He will also snuggle some and then go right back to playing! He would love a home with older, dog savvy children who are gentle and kind. As he is still young and small, a family with someone who is home more than away is also optimal." Chester 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 $400.
 
 

Sunshine, a Corgi mix
 

Meet Sunshine! Sunshine is a 1 year old female Corgi mix and she weighs about 14 pounds. She arrived in rescue after winding up at animal services with no one coming to claim her and she was very scared. She has settled into her foster home and her personality has blossomed. She is ready to find a forever family to call her own. Her foster mom says, "Sunshine is everything that her name says - full of love, personality and warmth that can’t help but make you smile. She is full of vibrancy and enjoys life. Sunshine loves to play with our 1 year old pup and they wear each other out. 

 
She is much too active for our senior pup though and would do best in a home with another dog her own age to help her burn her energy off, or perhaps some school-aged dog savvy kids. She is still a puppy in her temperament and can sometimes be mouthy when she is playing, as she is learning her boundaries. Sunshine has been doing great on her house training and crate training, as long as she is kept on a schedule. When we have missed her signals to go outside, she does use the puppy pad right by the back door. We are working on leash walking, but she pulls some and is very very excited to see new people and new things. She is not overly barky - pretty much when someone is at the door or if our other pups start barking, then she will sing the songs of her people, lol. Sunshine is really a very, very sweet dog who will bring so much joy to a lucky family!" She is spayed, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative and microchipped. Sunshine is fostered in the Orlando area and her adoption donation is $375. 
 
 

Wallie, a Maltese/Yorkie mix
 
Meet Wallie! Wallie is a 4 year old male Maltese/Yorkie mix and he weighs about 10 pounds. He arrived in rescue after living in a home with too many dogs that could not properly care for him. He has settled into foster care well and is ready to find his forever family! His foster dad says, "Wallie is so sweet and loving and loves to be with you! He’s playful and gets along with other dogs of all sizes. He is crate trained but really isn’t to fond of it and definitely lets you know when he’s had enough of it. Wallie is working on his housetraining and I just usually ask if he wants to go out. 
 
He knows the leash but needs additional training for walking. He enjoys exploring the fenced back yard with me and the other pups. Wallie is nervous around fast movements and sudden noises and therefore probably shouldn’t be around small children. He would do well with a family with older children or he’d be happy being spoiled by a family that wants a lap dog companion. "Wallie 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 $375.
 
 

Captain, a Chihuahua
 
Meet Captain! Captain is a 2 year old male Chihuahua mix and he weighs about 13 pounds. He arrived in rescue after winding up at animal services and being heartworm positive. He has been treated and has done great! He is ready to find a forever family to call his own. His foster mom says, "Captain is a funny, energetic and gregarious pooch. He was a little hesitant when he first arrived in foster care, but quickly bonded once treats were rewarded!  Although he gets along with dogs of all sizes, he plays happily with his foster sister who is of similar size, so he'd do well with an active dog of similar size and temperament.  Captain's a little too curious about the cats, so unless yours is dog savvy, a feline free home would be best.  
 
He's housetrained on a regular schedule and does extremely well on a harness with leash.  He barks occasionally at new people and strange noises, so no shared walls.  Captain is not crated, as he is not destructive and snuggles on our bed during the night.  Due to his small size, he would do best with older kids.  No small children or frail adults, as his enthusiasm may result in a tumble. Captain is loving and eager to please.  Open your home and your heart to him and he will bring a smile to your face!" Captain is neutered, up to date on vaccines, on flea and heartworm prevention, microchip and has had his teeth cleaned! He is fostered in the Flagler Beach area and his adoption donation is $300.
 
 

Whaley, a Maltese/Shih Tzu mix
 
Meet Whaley! Whaley is a 4-5 year old male Maltese/Shih Tzu and he weighs about 12 pounds. He arrived in rescue when his previous home had too many dogs and could not properly care for them. He has settled into foster care nicely but is ready for a forever family to call his own. His foster dad says, "Whaley is a super sweet boy that loves attention by just about anyone. He loves people and other dogs of all sizes. He’s working on leash and housetraining so will require a little guidance. He likes to explore the back yard that is fenced with me and enjoys plush toys. 
 
Whaley's a lover and just wants to be with you. He follows me everywhere I go. Whaley’s family can be a quiet home with no children or a family with older children. He is crate trained and is sleeping the night in his crate. This boy is just a joy to have around and wants to go wherever you go!" Whaley 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.
 
 

Truffle, a Domestic Shorthair
 

Meet Truffle! Truffle is a 13 week old male Domestic Shorthair kitten and he weighs about 4 pounds. He is still a kitten so he is still growing! Truffle arrived in rescue after coming from a home with too many cats that could not properly care for them. Truffle has settled into foster care nicely, but would love to find a forever home to call his own. His foster mom says, "Truffle is a handsome kitten looking for his forever home. He arrived in rescue very malnourished but with good food, treats and love he is gaining weight and ready to find his forever home. He has a spunky little personality that will warm your heart. 

 
He is a super playful little guy who loves playing with his toys and siblings. Truffle is very social and curious about his surroundings. He has met a few pups (through an x-pen) and was very curious at first but now he is starting to warm up to them. Because most cats do better in pairs it is preferred he be adopted with one of his current siblings or have another young friend in his new home. Truffle is litter box trained." He is neutered, up to date on vaccines, Felv/FIV negative and microchipped! Truffle is fostered in the Orlando area and his adoption donation is $50.
 
 

Tammy, a Chihuahua/Beagle mix
 

Meet Tammy! Tammy is a 5 year old female Chihuahua/Beagle mix and she weighs about 22 pounds. She arrived in rescue when her previous home could no longer care for her. Tammy has been confused about her situation, but is trying to learn to trust again and find her forever family. Her foster dad says, "Tammy is a very sweet, but very shy girl. She is shy and keeps her distance but still comes to be near you then backs away. She’s working on trust but is so sweet and loving once she surrenders to you. 

 

She has been around dogs of all sizes and is okay with that. Tammy absolutely needs another dog in her forever home as she has anxiety when she is "all alone". She has not been around cats or children. She is crate trained, but you have to put her in but is starting to go in on her own. She currently is sleeping the night in her crate and rides in her crate in the car. Tammy is working on house training and leash skills. She will require patience to gain your trust and that will take time. She’s so cute and sweet she’s hard to resist! You can’t help but love her." Tammy 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.

 
 

Nutmeg, a Domestic Shorthair
 

Meet Nutmeg! Nutmeg is a 13 week old female Domestic Shorthair kitten and she weighs about 4 pounds. She is still a kitten so she is still growing! Nutmeg arrived in rescue after coming from a home with too many cats that could not properly care for them. Nutmeg has settled into foster care nicely, but would love to find a forever home to call her own. Her foster mom says, "Nutmeg is a beautiful kitten looking for her forever home. She arrived in rescue very malnourished but with good food, treats and love she is gaining weight and ready to find her forever home . Nutmeg is sweet and outgoing. 

 
She enjoys getting attention from her humans. She is a peppy girl who loves playing with toys and her siblings. Nutmeg is very social and curious about her surroundings. She has met a few pups (through an x-pen) and was very curious at first but now she is starting to warm up to them. Because most cats do better in pairs it is preferred she be adopted with one of her current siblings or have another young friend in her new home. Nutmeg is litter box trained." She is spayed, up to date on vaccines, Felv/FIV negative and microchipped! Nutmeg is fostered in the Orlando area and her adoption donation is $50.
 
 

Willie, a Chihuahua mix
 
Meet Willie! Willie is a 1 year old male Chihuahua mix and he weighs about 10 pounds. He arrived in rescue after winding up at animal control because the home he was living in had too many dogs. Willie was scared and nervous, so he came to rescue. He has settled into foster care nicely and is ready to find a forever home to call his own.  His foster mom says, "Willie is a very handsome boy with the most beautiful eyes! He was super nervous and shy when he first came into our home. Now that he has settled in, he is super loving and sweet. He loves to shower you with kisses and loves a good belly rub while hanging out on your lap. When meeting new people, it takes him about 10 -15 mins to warm up.  Willie can be very playful at times. He likes to put your hand in his mouth and nibble on your fingers (totally playing/not being mean.) For this reason, I will not put him with small children as it may scare them. 
 

Willie came in with other dogs that he gets along great with but will need to do slow intros if you have another pup in the home.He would do best with pups his size or smaller as bigger ones make him nervous.  Willie is not fully house trained yet but we are working on this. He is terrified of a leash and collar so a fenced in backyard is a must while he learns leash training. Update: He gets along with large dogs who can tolerate his “energy”. Recommend a home with a dog buddy to help him with his anxiety when left without his person. He walks very well on leash with his dog buddy. He is very treat motivated and needs redirection with happy nipping and a sturdy chew toy helps his chewing needs. He can now tolerate short stays in sturdy crate with decreased anxiety but would not do well for a full work day in crate. He attaches to his person and is slowly doing better letting other people pet him without immediately running away. Willie doesn't tolerate cates wouldn't do well in a home with younger children due to overstimulation/noise and chewing hazards with small toys. He will put any small found item in his mouth to chew including yard choking hazards so he needs to be watched when playing in a fenced yard." Willie is neutered, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative, microchip and has had his teeth cleaned! He is fostered in the Orlando area and his adoption donation is $300.

 
 

Creamsicle, a Domestic Shorthair Kitten
 
Meet Creamsicle! Creamsicle is a 13 week old male Domestic Shorthair kitten and he weighs about 4 pounds. Heis still a kitten so he is still growing! Creamsicle arrived in rescue after coming from a home with too many cats that could not properly care for them. Creamsicle has settled into foster care nicely, but would love to find a forever home to call his own. His foster mom says, "Creamsicle is a charming kitten looking for his forever home. He arrived in rescue very malnourished but with good food, treats and love he is gaining weight and ready to find his forever home. 
 
He is the bravest one of the litter! He is fearless and spunky. He is a super playful little guy who loves playing with his toys and siblings. Creamsicle is very social and curious about his surroundings. He has met a few pups (through an x-pen) and was very curious at first but now he tries playing whack a mole with them as they walk by lol. Because most cats do better in pairs it is preferred he be adopted with one of his current siblings or have another young friend in his new home. Creamsicle is litter box trained." He is neutered, up to date on vaccines, Felv/FIV negative and microchipped! Creamsicle is fostered in the Orlando area and his adoption donation is $50.
 
 

Tucker, a Havanese
 
Meet Tucker! Tucker is an 11 year old male Havanese and he weighs about 13 pounds. He arrived in rescue when his previous family had too many dogs and could no longer care for him. Tucker is a very good boy and has limited range of motion in his right rear leg. It's arthritis from old injury that did not heal correctly and there is nothing surgical that can be done, but he doesn't let it bother him! His foster mom says, "Tucker has a mind of his own but don’t think because he’s older, he’s not quick when he wants to be. Most of the day he is pretty chill though. He likes lying on the furniture or on the cool tile. He sometimes get the zoomies and requires belly rubs after. Tucker does not like to be left alone and security cameras have caught him voicing his opinion on the matter, so he must be in a home with no shared walls. He’s not a big fan of toys, but LOVES treats. Tucker has been working on his housetraining by getting treats afterwards, per his demands. 
 

He even knows the command “sit,” but sometimes has selective hearing for that word. Tucker would probably be ok with another older dog if they would leave him alone, as I think younger dogs would bother him too much. He would be just fine as an only dog as well so he can get all the belly rubs. I think younger kids would bother him, so only older children for his new family. Tucker sometimes sleeps in the human bed with the use of doggie steps and sometimes he sleeps on a dog bed in the next room." Tucker 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 $250.

 
 

Barkley, a Poodle
 

Meet Barkley! Barkley is an 8 year old male Poodle and he weighs about 9 pounds. He arrived in rescue after coming from a home with too many dogs that could not properly care for them. Barkley has settled into foster care nicely, but would love to find a forever home to call his own. His foster mom says, "Barkley is a sweet and shy poodle, who is eagerly waiting to find his forever home. He is a gentle soul who thrives on companionship and loves to stay by your side. His calm demeanor makes him the perfect cuddle buddy. While he may be a little shy around new people, once he gets to know you, he will be your most devoted friend.

 
Barkley gets along wonderfully with other small dogs, making him a great addition to a multi-pet household. He’s looking for a patient and loving owner who can help him feel safe and comfortable in his new home. Barkley is house trained provided you keep to schedule and has anxiety if left alone for too long.  He also loves to take slow strolls on his leash and at 8 years has a playful side to him also." Barkley 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.
 

Lynx, a Domestic Shorthair

He arrived in rescue very malnourished but with good food, treats and love he is gaining weight and ready to find his forever home. 
 
His markings are absolutely stunning! He will be the show stopper at all your home gatherings. This handsome boy is a super playful little guy who loves playing with his toys and siblings. Lynx is very social and curious about his surroundings. He has met a few pups (through an x-pen) and was very curious at first but now he is starting to warm up to them.

Nico, a Puggle/Pekingese mix
 

Meet Nico! Nico is a 1-2 year old, male Puggle/Pekingese mix and he weighs about 12 pounds. He arrived in rescue after coming from a home with too many pets that could not properly care for them. Nico has settled into foster care nicely, but would love to find a forever home to call his own. His foster mom says he would like to introduce himself: "I’d like to introduce myself, please – I’m Nico! I am fun and fabulous! I am a mixed breed, quite a handsome guy, I must admit. The vet thinks I’m maybe 1- 2 years old, I’m in great physical shape,! My foster Mom tells me I’m fabulous, that’s how I know I must be.  My foster Dad says I’m a fun pup.  Mom says my only issue is my interest in the food their pup gets that smells very different than my kibble.  I can’t help that I want to try it.  It hasn’t happened yet, but that won’t stop me from trying! Mom says my fur companion is an old lady and she needs soft food and I’m a young pup and can eat kibble.  When I first came into my foster home, they had to quarantine me from their dog.  I guess that’s fair, I did have “shelter germs”.  They put up this thing called an x-pen and I enjoyed being able to call it my own space.  Now the door stays open and they keep a comfy bed in there with a water bowl and this thing they call a puppy pad.  

 
Sometimes I get my meals in the x-pen if I’m getting too interested in what is in the other dog’s bowl.  Mom likes when I use the puppy pad at night – anytime she sees anything on it she calls me fabulous!  I’m really good about going potty outside, but sometimes at night I have to go and it makes her really happy that I use the puppy pad. Would I go into a crate?  I would, but I like the space in the x-pen better, more so with the door left open. My foster parents keep dog beds all around and I like checking them all out.  Whatever room they are in I will be on one of the beds or their lap.  I keep a close eye on them.  I like toys, too.  Squeaky ones are great, crinkly ones are fun too.  My fur companion is older and she is a bit standoffish, but we get along just fine.  Mom says I’m a smart one.  She’s been giving me puzzles with treats in them and they are fun and tasty! At first I didn’t like the noise the covers on the puzzle made, but what was inside got me over that pretty quick. I keep looking for more treats, even though all the sections are empty.  I walk on a leash really well but I really like being able to explore the yard.  I haven’t been around cats or kids – I think I’d like both of them, I like to play.  I might be better with older kids who can control how to pet a little guy like me. Dad says I’m attention starved, if that means I like attention – you bet I do!  As far as grooming goes, a wipe around my eyes every morning is appreciated.  If you give me a brushing every day or so it cuts down on shedding." Nico is neutered, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative and microchipped! He is fostered in the Orlando area and his adoption donation is $350.
 
 

Bear, a Chihuahua/Corgi Mix
 

Meet Bear! Bear is an 11 week old male Chihuahua/Corgi mix puppy and he weighs about 5 pounds. He is still growing, but we expect him to stay under 25 pounds full grown, but we can’t promise that. Bear arrived in rescue after his mom was rescued from a home with too many dogs and was not being cared for. He has been raised in a loving foster home since he was born. He is an active puppy that will need a family up for all things puppyhood brings, 

 
That includes leash training, house training, socialization and learning that flip flops are for feet, not food. His foster mom says, "Bear is a love bug! He is my little snuggle buddy who always wants to be by me.  In true Chihuahua fashion, he likes to take his kibble and eat it on his bed quietly, away from the other pups. He is a very social guy though and loves to play with the other pups and with his toys. Bear has the kindest eyes and will gladly give you kisses once you are his pal. He would love a home with older, dog savvy children who are gentle and kind. As he is still young and small, a family with someone who is home more than away is also optimal." Bear 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 $400.
 
 

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.
