Orville, a Mixed Breed

Meet Orville! Orville is a 9 month old male puppy and he weighs about 35 pounds. We expect him to stay under 55 pounds when full grown, but due to his unique mix, we are unable to accurately predict his actual adult weight range, so if you need a pup to stay a specific size, he is not the pup for you. Orville and his littermates arrived in rescue after being part of an accidental litter. Dad is a Beagle/Cavalier mix (a Beagleier) and mom is a Bassett Hound/Blue Heeler mix.The pups have been raised in loving foster home and are thriving. A forever family will need to be up for all things puppy - including house training, leash training, learning what is ok to chew and not chew, as well as continued socialization.They would also do well with dog savvy kiddos. His foster mom says: Orville is a sweet, goofy, and playful boy. Although he is a unique mix, the basset characteristics seem to dominate his personality.

He is good natured and affectionate but also stubborn and independent, making a challenging companion to train. A forever family will need to be up for all things puppy, including house training (the biggest hurdle), leash training (working on it), and what is ok to chew (working on that too). He can be mouthy around hands and he loves to tear up everything, including pidde pads and piddle towels. He is very vocal (loud) and will bark at strange noises and sights, so no shared walls. Since his leash training and house training are still in progress, a fenced yard is a must. He is not a high energy athlete and has a low activity requirement, prefering to lounge around both inside and out. He gets along with my other dogs and cats and I believe he would do well with gentle, dog-savvy, older children. He likes to jump on people to get their attention, so no little tykes or frail adults. If you're up for the challenge, welcome Orville into your home. With love, patience, and consistency, guide him through puppyhood and watch him develop into a devoted and loyal companion. Orville is neutered, up to date on vaccines, on flea and heartworm prevention and microchipped. He is fostered in the Flagler Beach area and his adoption donation is $350.

Scotty, a Pomeranian mix

Meet Scotty! Scotty is a 3 month old male Pomeranian mix and he weighs about 7 pounds. He is still a growing puppy and we do expect him to get larger. Scotty arrived in rescue after being from an accidental litter. He has been thriving in foster care, but is ready to find a family that is up for all of the puppy challenges, such as leash training, house training, continued socialization and learning what to chew and not chew. His foster mom says: Meet Scotty! Looking for a gentle, easygoing puppy to add to your family? Scotty might just be the perfect match! This sweet boy has a calm, laid back personality that makes him stand out from the crowd. While his siblings are often busy wrestling and playing, Scotty is just as likely to be found catching up on his beauty sleep or soaking up all the cuddles he can get. After all, being a puppy is hard work!

Don't let his quiet nature fool you—Scotty still enjoys playtime and exploring the world around him. He simply has a softer, more relaxed approach to life and is happiest when he's being held, loved and snuggled by his favorite people. Like every puppy, Scotty is looking for a family thats ready for all things puppy! He'll need continued guidance with leash walking, house training, crate training and learning what is (and isn't!) appropriate to chew. With patience, consistency and plenty of love, this smart little guy will grow into an amazing lifelong companion. If you're ready to welcome a sweet, affectionate puppy who will happily trade endless kisses for endless cuddles, Scotty can't wait to meet you! Scotty 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 $525.

Olin, a Poodle

Meet Olin! Olin is a 5 year old male Poodle and he weighs about 15 pounds. He arrived in rescue when his previous family could no longer care for him. He has settled into his foster home but he would love a forever family to call his own. His foster mom says: Meet Olin, a gentle boy with a heart of gold who is blossoming more and more every single day! Olin is a sensitive pup learning that the world isn't so scary after all. When feeling uncertain, he will cower and avoid eye contact, but he is making huge strides and taking brave little risks he wouldn't have made weeks ago. Watching him learn to trust is incredibly rewarding! Because leash walks and front yards are still spooky for him, Olin needs a secure, fenced in backyard where he can feel safe to run and play. This is not negotiable. Wonderful with older kids, cats, and other dogs, he knows "stay," respects open doors and is house trained on a regular schedule.

Just be ready for his required post-potty head rub immediately after! This sweet sidekick quietly follows you from room to room, loves sleeping close at night, and adores his toys (though he's still learning which household items aren't toys, making the most adorable guilty face when caught!). Being left alone makes him nervous but he handles it like a total champ with no barking or whining. Olin doesn't need or want a loud life; he just needs a patient, loving home that will give him the reassurance he deserves. Give him a little time, plenty of belly & head rubs, and this gentle soul will love you back ten times over! Olin 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.

Flip, a Chihuahua mix

Meet Flip! Flip is a 5 month old male Chihuahua mix and he weighs about 7 pounds. He should stay under 15 pounds full grown, but we can't be sure of adult weight. Flip arrived in rescue as a tiny puppy with a family that could not properly care for him. He settled in to his foster home nicely and has been thriving. Flip will need a family up for all things puppy - including house training, leash training, continued socialization, and learning that flip flops are for feet, not food.

His foster mom says: Flip: small in size, big in personality! Flip is your classic chihuahua with a whole lot of charm packed into a tiny body. He’s got that signature “spicy” streak (especially when other puppies get a little too in his business), but don’t let that fool you—this little guy loves to play and have fun on his own terms. When he’s not busy being the boss of the toy pile (seriously, he LOVES his toys), Flip is all about the snuggles. His favorite place? Right next to his humans, soaking up all the love and attention he can get. Flip is the perfect mix of sass and sweetness—he’ll make you laugh, keep you on your toes, and then curl up beside you like your tiniest, most loyal shadow. Flip is neutered, up to date on vaccines, on flea and heart worm prevention and microchipped. He is fostered in the Orlando area and his adoption donation is $500.

Blade, a Chihuahua mix

Meet Blade! Blade is a 1 year old male Chihuahua mix and he weighs about 14 pounds. He arrived in rescue after being surrendered and being very scared. He has settled into foster care and is starting to thrive and is ready for a forever home. His foster mom says: Meet Blade! If you need a warm, fuzzy meet or a dog that is going to love you instantly, Blade is not for you. Please understand that. Blade believes that love is earned, not rushed. New people can be a little intimidating for him, and he needs someone willing to give him the time and patience to realize the world isnt so scary. But once you're in his circle, you'll discover the sweetest, most loyal companion you could ever ask for. His favorite place in the world is curled up beside his people, soaking up every bit of love and affection they have to offer. Whether its relaxing on the couch, binge-watching your favorite shows, or simply following you from room to room, Blade is happiest just being with his family. Don't let his cuddly side fool you, he has plenty of playful energy too!

He loves to run, explore, and stretch his legs, making the most of every adventure before happily settling in for a cozy cuddle session afterward.
Blade is house trained as long as he's kept on a consistent schedule, is comfortable in his crate, and walks beautifully on a leash. He truly enjoys getting out for daily strolls and spending time with his people. Blade would thrive either as your one-and-only best friend or with another smaller canine companion. Larger dogs can make him feel uneasy, so a calmer environment with smaller pups is where he shines. Blade isnt looking for someone to fall in love with him in the first five minutes. He's looking for someone who understands that the best relationships take time. If you're willing to be patient and let him open up at his own pace, you'll gain a devoted best friend whose love is deep, genuine, and absolutely worth the wait. Blade 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.

Winslow, a Pomeranian

Meet Winslow! Winslow is a 9 year old male Pomeranian and he weighs about 8 pounds. He arrived in rescue after coming from a puppy mill in a rural area during winter. He arrived heartworm positive, but has been treated and is doing great! He has settled into foster care nicely and has been loving learning how to "dog". His foster mom says: Winslow is a sweet, sensitive boy who is looking for a patient and understanding home where he can blossom at his own pace. Loud noises and raised voices can be frightening for him, so he would do best in a calm, quiet environment without children. Winslow takes time to build trust with new people, but once he feels safe his cute personality emerges. He absolutely loves to be brushed and will sit for hours enjoying the attention. This is the perfect opportunity to bond with him and build trust. Once comfortable, he'll paw at your hand for pets.

He gets along well with the dogs in his foster home. While he isn't interested in playing, he is content hanging out alongside them. Winslow could do well as an only pup or with another calm pup, similar in size and age appropriate. A secure, fenced yard is a must for Winslow, HE WILL escape if given the opportunity or if something scares him!! He loves being outside and often has to be convinced that it's time to come back indoors! He does not currently walk on a leash, and he is still working on house training, so his future family should be prepared to continue helping him learn. Winslow gets excited when it's time for bed, knowing that belly rubs are coming till it's time to fall asleep. If you KNOW you have the time, patience, and understanding that Winslow deserves and are 110% committed hit that apply button. Winslow is neutered, up to date on vaccines, on flea and heartworm prevention, microchipped and has had his teeth cleaned! Heis fostered in the Orlando area and his adoption donation is $325.

Lelaini, a Chihuahua mix

Meet Lelaini! Lelaini is a 1 year old female Chihuahua mix and she weighs about 8 pounds. She arrived in rescue after being surrendered and being very scared. She has settled into foster care and is starting to thrive and is ready for a forever home. Her foster mom says: "Lani" is the most affectionate dog! Her favorite thing to do is snuggle! She will do anything for affection. In fact, I trained her to sit in one day because she learned I wont pet her if shes jumping on me. That said, she wants to be on you 24/7, so Ive been working to get her to be more independent and to play and run outside without me right next to her. She's doing much better, but shes still a bit of a tripping hazard under my feet. She loves her toys, especially little cat toys. She had never been on a leash before, so we've been working on leash training. She's still a bit all over the place with that. She is not yet house trained, but we're working on that too.

She loves other little dogs who want to play with her, and even the ones who dont, shell endlessly try anyway.She does well with cats too, but keep her away from the litter. Iykyk. She's been pretty shy around other people on our walks and when someone comes into my house while I'm there. I had another foster watch her while I was out of town, and she was instantly their best friend, so she might be a one-person kind of gal. She hasn't been around kids. Leilani can get feisty over food, and Ive never seen a dog inhale their food so fast. I have to use a slow feeder. This is a must because she will choke herself. She has a lot of puppy energy, but will calm down instantly if she's on your lap, and by lap, I mean nuzzled up to your neck and staring lovingly into your eyes. Seriously. She's ridiculously adorable. Lelaini 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.

Domingo, a Chihuahua mix

Meet Domingo! Domingo is a 1-2 year old male Chihuahua mix and he weighs about 8 pounds. He arrived in rescue when his previous family could no longer care for him. He has settled into his foster home but he would love a forever family to call his own. His foster mom says: Domingo is a surprisingly mellow young pup! He's a bit timid at first, but will warm up soon and isn't skittish- he's just submissive. You can pet him, hold him and pick him up soon after meeting, as long as you move towards him slowly. He'll likely lay down, or roll over on his back (he LOVES belly rubs)! He enjoys being outside and sitting in the sun with you, frolicking a bit with other pups - but mostly, he's an indoor guy. He isn't a fan of walking on the leash but with time and patience, I'd imagine he'd get the hang. He just isn't really much into doing anything involving being led, so if you wish to walk him, he'll need guidance.

Mostly he loves lounging, but he enjoys momentary zoomies here and there before he chills out.He's pretty quiet, he only tends to bark when someone comes over to visit. He doesn't chew on things, either, he's a very good boy! BUT- he's a SHOE THIEF! He'll literally gather up any stray shoes and either move them, or put them on the sofa/chair with him. He does NOT chew them,he just like to collect them! It's really funny. He's house trained on a schedule and holds his bladder well! He needs to go outside a few times a day, but you just have to make sure he goes when you take him out He loves being near you and will come close and give you kisses if you let him, especially in the big bed, where he definitely expects to sleep. He's a great cuddler at night! As for other pets, he gets along great with dogs, mostly ignores cats and if you have dogs he will want to be near them and do what they do, although he hasn't shown particularly playful tendencies. Domingo 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.

Emmett, a Poodle

Meet Emmett! Emmett is a 3 year old male Poodle and he weighs about 8 pounds. He arrived in rescue when his previous family could no longer care for him. He has settled into his foster home but he would love a forever family to call his own. His foster mom says: Meet Your New Best Friend! If you're looking for a loyal companion who will love you with his whole heart, this sweet boy may be the perfect match. He has a big personality and isn't shy about sharing his opinions! He's a talkative little guy with a loud bark, so he'll do best in a home without shared walls, such as a house rather than an apartment or condo. He is incredibly affectionate and devoted to his person. He loves being by your side and will happily follow you from room to room. Because he has separation anxiety, he's looking for a home where someone is around most of the day. His happiest place is wherever you are. He's fully house trained and enjoys sleeping either in bed with his person or in his own dog bed. He loves toys, enjoys playing fetch and is always ready for a fun game. During the day, you'll often find him soaking up the sunshine with a nice sunbath.

He has an upbeat, happy personality and is highly food motivated, making treats a great way to reinforce training.He needs to be the only pet in the home. While he may be fine around other dogs in some situations, he can become protective of his person and his food, which can lead to snakiness toward other dogs. For everyone's safety and happiness, he will thrive best as your one and only furry companion. Emmett has mild luxating patellas, but they are non-painful and do not require surgery, but it is something that his new family should be aware of and his activity (such as jumping up and down off furniture) should be monitored. If you're looking for a loving, loyal shadow who will be your constant companion, this special boy is ready to give you all the love he has. Emmett 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 $425.

Lolabean, a Chihuahua mix

Meet Lolabean! Lolabean is a 5-7 year old female Chihuahua mix and she weighs about 12 pounds, but she could stand to lose a pound or two;) Lolabean arrived in rescue when her previous family could no longer care for her. She has settled into her foster home but is ready to find a forever family! Her foster mom says: Lolabean is a sweet girl! She walks well on a leash and loves spending time with her people. This lovable little lady has a big personality and enjoys being the center of attention.

Lolabean can be territorial with other dogs, so she would do best as the only pet in a home where she can soak up all the love and affection.If you're looking for a loyal, loving companion who will be your devoted best friend, Lolabean may be the perfect match! Could Lolabean be the missing piece of your family? Lolabean is spayed, up to date on vaccines, heart worm negative, microchipped and has had her teeth cleaned. She is fostered in the Orlando area and her adoption donation is $300.

Benji, a Yorkie mix

Meet Benji! Benji is a 1 year old male Yorkie mix and he weighs about 17 pounds. He arrived in rescue when his previous family could no longer care for him. His foster mom says: Benji loves long brisk walks, starting early in the morning and continuing as frequently as offered throughout the day and after he loses a pound or two, he'll likely be looking for even more active adventures. He's a professional lizard chaser (and sometimes catcher) and visits every tree along his walk to check for them. He takes the job very seriously and can occasionally get stuck "in the zone" but can usually be coaxed to move on pretty easily. He loves people, whether family, visitors, or strangers, and would probably enjoy a household with a lot of activity. He sometimes jumps on strangers and we are working on curbing that behavior, but it's just something to be aware of.

However, he also appreciates lazy naps on the couch. He would do well with children 10+, as he is a little on the wild side sometimes and can overwhelm young ones. He's usually quiet but he has a good guard-dog bark, which he uses only when he hears suspicious noises outside. He likes dogs his own size and smaller, but is selective with bigger dogs and normally barks at them when he sees them. Outside, he tries to chase cats but not rabbits, for some reason. He sometimes wants to be a lap dog and cuddles on the couch or in the bed, but he usually prefers being nearby (and still sharing the furniture). He does fine when left alone, napping on the couch or lying by the door, waiting for his people to get back, and he is house trained as long as he has sufficient opportunities to go out and is kept on a schedule. Benji 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 $425.

Clover, a Corgi

Meet Clover! Clover is a 7 month old female Corgi puppy and she weighs about 10 pounds. She is still growing and we can not predict her adult weight. Clover arrived in rescue when a corgi puppy just proved to be "too much puppy" for her previous family. Clover's new family will need to be prepared for the "T-rex" corgi puppy stage, IYKYK, as she is fully in it, LOL. Clover will need continued patience with her leash training, house training and learning that not everything in sight is a chew toy. Her foster mom says: Meet Clover! Looking for a best friend who's equal parts adorable, adventurous and full of puppy charm? Then Clover may be the perfect match for you! Like any young pup, Clover is still learning the ropes, so she will need a family thats excited to help her grow. She's looking for someone committed to all things puppy—house training, crate training, leash walking and all the fun (and sometimes silly!) moments that come with raising a young dog.

The time and patience you invest now will be rewarded with a loyal companion for years to come. Clover absolutely ADORES other dogs and would thrive in a home with another young, playful canine companion to help show her the ropes and burn off some puppy energy. A fenced yard would be a wonderful bonus, giving her a safe place to run, play, and explore, especially as she currently believes the leash is a torture device, LOL. Clover also loves older, dog savvy kiddos. Whether it's hiking a new trail, riding along on errands, or simply curling up after a day of adventures, Clover is ready to be your sidekick through it all. She's also a great eater and happily cleans her bowl at mealtime! If you're ready to embrace the puppy stage and are looking for a fun-loving companion to grow up by your side, Clover is waiting to meet you! Clover is spayed, up to date on vaccines, on flea and heart worm prevention and microchipped. She is fostered in the Orlando area and her adoption donation is $575.

Sammy, a Poodle

Meet Sammy! Sammy is a 7 month old male Poodle and he weighs about 4 pounds. He is still growing, so he could still gain a few pounds. Sammy arrived in rescue when his previous family could no longer care for him. His previous family did not realize he had vision issues and that explained a lot of the issues they were having. Sammy is blind and would love a family that has experience with vision challenged pups to call his own. He has settled into his foster home but he would love a forever family to call his own. His foster mom says: Sammy is very sweet and is an expert cuddler. He also loves to play (he's a puppy!) and will keep you busy!

As he is blind, Sammy will require a household able to provide him stable and safe space.A family experienced with blind dogs would be amazing. In addition, due to his size and condition, his new family would not have children under 12 years old. Besides being blind, Sammy has bilateral luxating patellas. Because of his age, surgical correction is neither recommended or required at this time. However, his adopter would need to be aware that depending on how he grows and adapts, it could be necessary in the future. Sammy is 80% house trained. He does not need to go out overnight. During the day, he goes out on a leash to potty every few hours. As far as walking on a leash, he is still a puppy and a "work in progress" in that department. He does better when he goes out using his harness (rather than a collar) and a leash. He would probably benefit from some formal leash/behavior training. All-in-all, he's a great pup. He compensates well for his visual disability using his other senses. He is very sweet, and friendly with cats and other small dogs. Sammy is neutered, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative and microchipped. He is fostered in the Orlando area and his adoption donation is $450.
