Meet Amaya! Amaya is a 3 month old female Bernadoodle and she weighs about 15 pounds. She is still a growing girl and will be a full size Bernadoodle (not a mini, and she DOES shed) and could be over 50 pounds full grown. She arrived in rescue when her litter was surrendered. She has been thriving in a loving foster home and working on learning her basic puppy skills. She will need a family that is up for all things puppy - house training, leash training, learning what to chew and not chew and continued socialization. |
|
Amaya is a typical Doodle puppy - smart, curious and full of energy.Once she knows you are a friend, she is your best friend and loves to be with her humans. She loves running around in the yard with us and fenced yard is highly preferred (and no a dog park doesn't count). She would do well with someone who is home more than they are away and older, dog savvy kiddos would be ok but she will easily topple a small child though. Amaya is spayed, up to date on vaccines, on flea and heartworm prevention and microchipped. Amaya is fostered in the Orlando area and her adoption donation is $525. |

Meet Milo! Milo is a 1 year old male Shih-Poo and he weighs about 15 pounds. He arrived in rescue when his previous family simply was not up for all things puppy. Milo is a high energy, active guy who is ready to find a family up for all things puppy - including patience and positive reinforcement to help him build his confidence. His foster mom says, "Milo is your typical velcro dog. Once he gets attached to you, he will be by your side or laying on your feet or leaning against you to be close. He loves with his whole heart and more! |
|
Milo takes a minute to warm up to strangers so his new family will need to be patient and help him to work through scary experiences like going to the vet, grooming, etc. An initial meet and greet with him may not be warm and fuzzy. When left alone, he will bark unless he has another fur sibling to keep him company. Milo loves the rain. He will play out in the yard or go for a walk and have a fantastic time doing it. It doesn't faze him at all. He loves to sleep snuggled up with you at night and will rest his chin on your cheek or around your neck if you let him. Milo gets along well with other dogs and has done great with house training on a schedule." Milo is neutered, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative and microchipped. He is fostered in the Orlando area and his adoption donation is $450. |

Merlin, a Shih Tzu/Poodle/Yorkie mix |
|
Meet Merlin! Merlin is a 1 year old male Shih Tzu/Poodle/Yorkie mix and he weighs about 10 pounds. He is still young and may still gain a pound or two. Merlin arrived in rescue after coming from a home with too many dogs that could not properly care for him. He has settled into foster care nicely, but would love to find a forever family to call his own. His foster mom says, "Merlin is a tiny guy with a big personality. |
|
He is friendly and loves to get attention. He gets along well with other dogs and can be very playful but he doesn't like to share food or treats so he needs to be the only dog in the home. Merlin will look at you with his big eyes in such a way that will make your heart melt and it is impossible to be mad at him. He enjoys hanging out with you during the day and is comfortable snoozing in a doggy bed close to his people. Merlin would love to find a family where he is the center of attention!" He is neutered, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative and microchipped. Merlin is fostered in the Orlando area and his adoption donation is $450. |

Robin, a Shih Tzu/Poddle/Yorkie mix |
|
Meet Robin! Robin is a 1 year old Shih Tzu/Poodle/Yorkie mix and she weighs about 10 pounds. She is still young and may still gain a pound or two. Robin arrived in rescue after coming from a home with too many dogs that could not properly care for her. She has settled into foster care nicely, but would love to find a forever family to call her own. Her foster mom says, "Robin is a very sweet girl who will light up when given even the smallest amount of attention.
|
|
She just wiggles with happiness when you pet her! She loves to play with other dogs or toys or whatever she may find and can usually be seen carrying a toy around with her. A game of chase in the yard with her friends is another favorite past time, even though they are faster than she is she never gives up. Robin likes to stick close to you and snuggle up in bed at night. She is working on her house training and responds well to positive reinforcement. Robin is spayed, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative and microchipped. Robin is fostered in the Orlando area and her adoption donation is $450 |

Meet Dalton! Dalton is a 3-4 year old male Pomsky and he weighs about 15 pounds. He arrived in rescue when his previous family could no longer care for him. Dalton arrived to rescue matted to the skin so he needed to be shaved, but his coat is starting to grow back in nicely. He has settled into foster care well but is ready to find his forever family. His foster mom says, "Dalton is a happy and playful guy. |
|
He is cautious around strangers and takes a little time to warm up but he is eager for attention and can be won over with treats. He loves to play in the yard with his foster siblings and tug-o-war is a favorite. Dalton has manners and doesn't get on the furniture and prefers to sleep on the floor or in a dog bed. He is not a big barker and tends only to bark if everyone else is barking. He has done well with house training as long as he is on a schedule. He is a little nervous on a leash so a fenced yard would be best for him. Dalton gets along well with other dogs big and small." He is neutered, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative, microchipped and has had his teeth cleaned. Dalton is fostered in the Orlando area and his adoption donation is $400. |

Calypso, a Standard Poodle |
|
Meet Calypso! Calypso is a 2 1/2 year old female Standard Poodle and she weighs about 50 pounds. She arrived back in rescue when both of her humans unfortunately unexpectedly passed away and no one in the family could care for her. Calypso arrived to us matted due to the unfortunate circumstance her recent grooming appointment was missed. She had to be shaved, but her coat is already starting to grow back in nicely. She was understandably confused and sad at first, but has settled into her foster home and is ready to find a family to call her own again. Her foster mom says, "Calypso is a great dog, an affectionate, calm and gentle pooch. She was a little shy when she first arrived in foster care but quickly warmed up. She's a little rough when playing with small dogs and cats, but gets along splendidly with dogs of her same size and temperment. Calypso joins with the others chasing around the fenced yard when we are all outside but is always happy to come in and settle down with her humans. |
|
She's house trained on a schedule and she does well on a harness with leash. She barks occasionally at new people and strange noises, so no shared walls. She is crate trained and happily enters when a treat is offered. She is tall enough to counter surf so beware what you leave out. Calypso seeks attention but is not needy. Due to her size, no frail adults or small tykes, as her enthusiasm may result in a tumble. I think she would be fine with dog savvy older children. Although she eagerly plays with her pals, I believe she would also be fine as an only dog. Calypso is loving and eager to please. Open your home and your heart to her and she will bring a smile to your face!" Calypso is spayed, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative, microchipped and has had her teeth cleaned. She is fostered in the Flagler Beach area and her adoption donation is $400. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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.

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. |

Meet Brynn! Brynn is a 4 month old female Bernadoodle and she weighs about 17 pounds. She is still a growing girl and will be a full size Bernadoodle (not a mini, and she DOES shed) and could be over 50 pounds full grown. She arrived in rescue when her litter was surrendered.

Brynn is a typical Doodle puppy - smart, curious and full of energy. Once she knows you are a friend, she is your best friend and loves to be with her humans. She loves running around in the yard with us and fenced yard is required as she thinks the leash is currently a torture device and she will not potty on it for any reason (and no a dog park doesn't count). She would do well with someone who is home more than they are away and older, dog savvy kiddos would be ok but she will easily topple a small child though. Brynn is spayed, up to date on vaccines, on flea and heartworm prevention and microchipped. She is fostered in the Orlando area and her adoption donation is $525. |

Meet Raven! Raven is a 2 year old female Shih Tzu and she weighs about 10 pounds. She arrived in rescue when her previous family could no longer care for her. She is a sweet girl who has settled into foster care nicely, but would love a forever family to call her own. Her foster dad said she would like to introduce herself: Hi, my name is Raven. I’m a super sweet and friendly little girl. In my spare time, I like to play with toys, chew on bones and run around the yard with you. I am more of a “free spirit” and do not like being locked in a crate. |
|
If you try it, I will bark and scratch very loudly until you let me out…but that’s just to make sure you do not forget about me. I am great with older kids and other dogs, but my ideal situation would be a home where I am the only dog, so I do not have to compete for attention, food or treats. I will also need a house with no shared walls and someone who can be home with me most of the day would be great! I am house trained but can have an occasional accident if I get too excited. Anyway, if you’re looking for a loving and playful new friend who is full of personality, you should definitely pick me! Raven 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 $450. |

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. |

Lizzie, a Maltese/Yorkie mix |
|
Meet Lizzie! Lizzie is a 3-4 year old female Maltese/Yorkie mix and she weighs about 10 pounds. She arrived in rescue when her previous family could no longer care for her. Her foster mom says, "Lizzie is bursting with puppy energy—her joyful zoomies and happy little circles will make you smile every day! She's a smart girl who’s both house and crate trained and she sleeps soundly through the night without any accidents (although please know this may take a few days to perfect in her new home as she adjusts to a new home and new routines). When you're home, Lizzie loves being close by. |
|
Whether she's soaking up belly rubs, playing with her toys, or snuggling up for a nap while you watch TV, she's happiest around her people. She’s also not shy about letting you know when she wants attention or needs to go outside—she’s vocal and persistent in the most charming way. She also will talk when playing with similar size dogs, just playing. Lizzie walks well on a leash and harness and absolutely loves her outdoor adventures, especially when she finds the perfect stick! While she may still use training pads if not taken out regularly, she’s getting the hang of doing her business outside. She’s comfortable being crated during the day if you're out and at night she’d be thrilled to curl up on a cozy dog bed in your room. Lizzie would thrive in a home with respectful older children and/or other dogs to help her burn off that playful energy. If you’re ready for a daily dose of joy, laughter, and zoomies—Lizzie is ready to meet you!" Lizzie 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, |
