Kelsie, a Maltese mix

Meet Kelsie! Kelsie is a very sweet, 3-4 year old, 9 pound Maltese mix! She arrived in rescue after coming from a home with too many pups that could not properly care for them. Her foster mom says: She is quite timid and shy, but not the least bit skittish. She will let you pick her up without cowering or running off, as long as you move slowly. Her potty habits are great and she will go outside to do her business like a champ, just take her outside a few times a day and she's good! She isn't used to leashes/walking in the neighborhood yet, but hopefully down the road she will become more accustomed to a leash. Sofa time with you is nice for her and although she sometimes will seek affection, she's more of a 'by your side' gal rather than a lap dog.

This might change, as she tends to seek affection here and there, but we can't guarantee that she'll ever be mega cuddly. However, she LOVES sleeping in the big bed! And there, she is very comfy, and will lean into you with cuddles, usually near your feet or the crook of your knees. When you say 'let's go to bed', she will get right up! Kelsie absolutely LOVES playing with other dogs, so we do require that you have another small, social dog that enjoys camaraderie. She isn't a crazy barker, but will definitely let you know if/when someone is at your door or on your property. Since she's a Maltese mix, her hair grows and she will definitely require routine grooming/haircuts. She does fine with home bathing in between. Kelsie 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 $400.

Henrietta, a Shih Tzu/Terrier mix

Please note: Henrietta is not hypoallergenic and does shed.

Meet Henrietta! Henrietta is a 2 month old Shih Tzu/Terrier mix puppy. She currently weighs about 4 pounds, but is still quite the growing pup. While we expect her full grown weight to be under 25 pounds, we can not accurately predict that, so if you need a pup guaranteed to be a specific size, she is not the pup for you. Henrietta and her litter arrived in rescue after they were surrendered by a family could not properly care for them. They have since been raised in loving foster homes (the litter is not all in the same foster home) and are thriving. Henrietta is still very much a puppy and learning all of her life skills, so she will need a family that is up for that long term.

That means house training, leash training, learning what to chew and not chew, continued socialization and positive reinforcement. Her foster mom says: Meet Henrietta! This tiny firecracker has a big personality and isn’t afraid to show it. She’s full of sass, smarts, and spirit — the total package! Henrietta loves to romp around with the big dogs in her foster home and insists she can keep up with them every step of the way (and honestly, she can!). Fearless and curious, she’s always ready for an adventure and refuses to be left out of the fun. When the day winds down, Henrietta is all about comfort — she’ll snuggle into the pillows and sleep soundly through the night, even sleeping in on lazy weekend mornings. She’s friendly with other dogs, adores meeting new people, and is doing great with house training — using her piddle pads like a pro. Smart, playful, and full of heart, Henrietta is the perfect mix of sass and sweetness. Henrietta 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 $450.

Benson, a French Bulldog

Meet Benson! Benson is a 5 month old male French Bulldog puppy and he weighs about 12 pounds. He is still a growing puppy though and will get bigger. Benson arrived in rescue when his previous owner was unable to keep him. He is a "fluffy" Frenchie and came from a pet store (from a puppy mill breeder). "Fluffy" Frenchies are essentially a mutation and can come with some genetic issues. Benson does have some mild vision issues as a result. He can see, but not always "clearly" so he can be hesitant when in new surroundings as he gets the "lay of the land" so to speak. Frenchies do tend to be a medically expensive breed to own though, and previous Frenchie experience is highly preferred. He is a very sweet boy though and is ready to find a forever family up for all things puppy.

That includes house training, leash training and continued socialization. His foster mom says: Benson is an active playful pup who loves to be outside with us. He enjoys sunning himself or just munching on sticks or twigs or leaves (we take them away as quick as he can gather them though, lol!) He is content to spend his day snoozing in the office with his foster mom while she works. He snores (typical Frenchie) and it can be loud. LOL Benson gets along well with other dogs but is not a big sharer when it comes to his food. He is not a big barker and typically only barks when playing. Benson 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 $550.

Sabrina, a Shih Tzu/Maltese mix

Please note: Sabrina is not hypoallergenic and does shed. Due to Sabrina's participation in a program, her forever home needs to be located in the Orlando area.

Meet Sabrina! Sabrina is a 4 month old Shih Tzu/Maltese mix puppy. She currently weighs about 6 pounds, but is still quite the growing pup. While we expect her full grown weight to be under 25 pounds, we can not accurately predict that, so if you need a pup guaranteed to be a specific size, she is not the pup for you. Sabrina and her littermate arrived in rescue after they were surrendered as their previous family could not properly care for them. They have since been raised in loving foster homes (they are not in the same foster home) and are thriving. Sabrina is still very much a puppy and learning all of her life skills, so she will need a family that is up for that long term - which means house training, leash training, learning what to chew and not chew, continued socialization and positive reinforcement.

Her foster mom says: Sabrina is a super sweet, super special girl. She is full of charm and charisma and has no problem trying to work her magic on you to get out of trouble. You need to be immune though and help her work on her puppy manners. She is doing well on her house trianing, but will need a family to keep her on a consistent schedule and understand that accidents happen. Sabrina gets along well with her furfriends and would love a fur friend of similar energy, but is not suited for a home with senior pups - she can be a little annoying, lol. She gets along great with older, dog savvy kiddos and we are working on her learning fingers are not chew toys. She is very smart and food motivated, so she learns quickly. Sabrina is going to make a special family very lucky! She is spayed, up to date on vaccines, on flea and heartworm prevention and microchipped. Sabrina is fostered in the Orlando area and her adoption donation is $500.

Douglas, a Shih Tzu mix

Please note: Douglas is not hypoallergenic and does shed.

Meet Douglas! Douglas is a 4 month old Shih Tzu/something really cute mix puppy. He currently weighs about 10 pounds, but is still quite the growing pup. While we expect his full grown weight to be under 25 pounds, we can not accurately predict that.

If you need a pup guaranteed to be a specific size, he is not the pup for you. Douglas and his littermate arrived in rescue after they were surrendered their family could not properly care for them. They have since been raised in loving foster homes (they are not in the same foster home) and are thriving. Douglas is still very much a puppy and learning all of his life skills, so he will need a family that is up for that long term - which means house training, leash training, learning what to chew and not chew, continued socialization and positive reinforcement. His foster mom says: Douglas is a delightful puppy with a zest for life. Extremely curious, he is eager to explore. He's not just fun but he is sweet and ready to learn.With boundless energy and occasional goofiness, he would be great for a family. He is learning what and what not to chew and is doing well with his house training on a schedule. He is still a puppy though and there are accidents. Douglas is always ready for a cuddle and will brighten the life of his forever family. He is neutered, up to date on vaccines, on flea and heartworm prevention and microchipped. Douglas is fostered in the Orlando area and his adoption donation is $450.

Sully, a French Bulldog/Boston Terrier mix

Meet Sully! Sully is a 7 month old male French Bulldog/Boston Terrier mix pup and he weighs about 20 pounds. He is still growing and could still gain a few pounds. He arrived in rescue when his human became ill and could no longer care for him. His foster mom says: Sully is a very active pup that loves human attention. He will jump into your lap without warning and he can jump high! Like a typical pup he is always looking for something to chew on and chewy sticks are prized possessions that are not to be shared with other pups (although we are working on this!). He would to sleep in bed at night and can jump up on any size bed with ease, however he is still a puppy, so a crate is needed.

Sully would do best as the only dog or with only one other dog in the home as he can become over excited when multiple dogs are barking or clammoring for attention. He likes to stick close to his human and soak up all the love and attention he can get. We are working on house training and leash training, but he will need a family that is patient and willing to use positive reinforcement to keep him consistent. Sully 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 $425.

Gary, a Schnauzer mix

Meet Gary! Gary is a 10-12 year old male Schnauzer mix and he weighs about 5 pounds. He arrived in rescue after coming from a house with too many dogs that did not properly care for them. His foster mom says: Gary came to us with a bad ear infection that has now cleared up but will need to be monitored as we don’t know if it will turn out to be chronic. Gary is a sweet boy, who is pretty chill and likes his naps. He does get his frisky moments and plays with toys for a few minutes. Gary is much like a cat as he will come to you when he is ready for pets or to be held. He is happy sleeping in the human bed when he chooses or sometimes just a pet bed in your room. Although he has never been an only dog, he should be fine as long as his humans are home more than gone. A home with no shared walls would be best. He will “scream” when he sees another dog, but he is all bark, no bite. He has a very high pitched bark for such a little man. He gets along with other dogs after the initial meet, but so far he’s not interested in playing.

We are working on his house training and leash training.He will need a fenced in yard at this time as he does not love the leash just yet. Mr. Gary has no teeth, so he will need wet food, and do not be late for his meals, he LOVES his food and treats. He will bark demands at you while getting his bowl ready-he is saying, hurry up!! This older gentleman deserves all the best in his new home! Gary 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 $225.

Allison, a Shih Tzu mix

Meet Allison! Allison is a 9 month old female Shih Tzu mix and she weighs about 8 pounds. Allson is still growing, and she could be up to 10-15 pounds when she is full grown, but we can not predict her adult weight. She is still a puppy and will need a patient family willing to continue to work with her using positive reinforcement to help her learn her life skills and build her confidence. Her foster dad says she would like to introduce herself: Herrrro, my name is Alison. 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. I really do like like attention from my human, but I'm scared and it takes time. Once I’m settled and feel safe, I love to run outside and play with other fur friends (speaking of which, I MUST have another pup in my forever home). I would prefer a home with no young children and a human who can be home with me most of the day. I currently like to sleep in my crate, and will run into it to hide sometimes during the day.

I sleep well through the night and I’m doing well on houise training, but I am still a puppy so an occasional accident could happen. 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! Allison 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 $425.
