Teddy, a Maltese/Terrier 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! You could easily mistake him for a muppet - he looks and sounds like one as 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 grrr, grrr, grrrr. The more you pet him the longer it goes on – his version of a purr. He is a big goofball! He plays with toys, he loves to eat, he wants in your lap or next to you as often as he can be. Teddy can be a bit jealous of others receiving attention, so care should be taken when children or other pets are around. He 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. Please know that 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 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 out with us 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 aggression but will quickly check their bowls to make sure nothing was left behind. 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. 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. 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 growling. He has had no sign of aggression; he is telling his story and folks not familiar with that may not see it the same way. Teddy is a small pup but seems larger with his fluff. Of the pups at the foster’s house, he appears to be the largest and weighs the least. This goofball is eagerly awaiting someone who needs a loyal companion, and he is just that guy!" 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.

Captain, a Chihuahua mix

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! He may occasionally get upset if his personal space is breached and he will express his displeasure. Captain is food possessive and is separated when fed. He would do best in a home with pups his size and of a similar activity level if he is not an only dog. He'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 and frequent schedule. He may have an accident in-between his walks if you don't watch him close for signals. He does extremely well on a harness with leash. Captain barks occasionally at new people and strange noises, so no shared walls. He is not crated when we leave, as he is not destructive. He seeks affection and snuggles on our bed during the night. If other dogs wake him, they will hear his concerns! Due to his small size and personal space issues, he would do best in an adult only home. However, no 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 Orlando area and his adoption donation is $300.

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.

Prime, an Aussiedoodle/Goldendoodle mix

Meet Prime! Prime is a 9 month old male Aussiedoodle/Goldendoodle mix and he weighs about 45 pounds. He is still growing and could grow to be over 60 pounds, but we are not sure. Prime arrived in rescue after being surrendered by his breeder. He has been in a loving foster home but is ready for a forever family that is full of energy, just like he is! His foster mom says, "Prime is such a young, spunky puppy that has so much life and love to give! He has a ton of energy and if you have a huge yard or farm where you can be outside playing with him, that is such a plus for this young guy! He knows sit, speak, paw and high five.

He is very food and treat motivated and is not picky at all. Prime also rides very well in the car. He will need a younger, high energy canine companion. He thrives the best when he has another dog around. Prime is house and kennel trained for the most part and he has very few accidents. He is crate trained, but does bark sometimes while you’re gone. (No shared walls). He has not been around cats or children, but should be ok with older, dog savvy kiddos." Prime 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.

Foxy and Panda, Bonded Chihuahuas

Meet the Chi-Chi’s!! Two is always better than one! Foxy (brown) and Panda (black and white) are 7 year old female Chihuahuas and they weigh about 7 pounds. They arrived in rescue when their previous family could no longer care for them. They are a bonded pair and will need to be adopted together. Their foster mom says, "Foxy and Panda are absolutely bonded together and have completely different personalities. Foxy is spunky and so goofy and also not nervous at all. I call her my little ride or die. She is like glue but can also wander and do her own thing. Panda is a little reserved but has definitely come out of her shell a lot. She is content just sitting in your lap and going to sleep but with Panda in your lap, here comes Foxy! These girls are 100% crate trained and about 75% house trained. Every once in a while, one of them, I believe it’s Foxy, will have an accident, but we are working on it! The Chi’s love to be outside with anyone! Sunbathing, rolling, they love being dogs! They actually love their crate and will go in there to nap on their own sometimes.

Both of them love to beg for our food, we’re working on that. But they do eat their dog food extremely well and they love treats! They ride very well in the car in their carrier. I have big and little dogs and they are comfortable with them all, the smaller ones a little more than the bigger, but they’re fine either way. The girls haven't been around cats or kids as I don’t have either. They’re so easy and quick to steal your heart!" Foxy and Panda are spayed, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative, microchipped and have had their teeth cleaned! Theyare fostered in the Orlando area and their combined adoption donation is $400.

Poppy, a Maltese/Terrier mix

Meet Poppy! Poppy is a 6 year old female Maltese/Terrier/whole lotta cuteness mix and she weighs about 9 pounds. She arrived in rescue heartworm positive, but she has completed her treatment and is doing great! Her foster dad says she would like to introduce herself:" Hi, my name is Poppy!

I’m a very playful and sweet little girl. I love to run and jump. I’m pretty sure with the right training I could do tricks! I get along with everyone but ain't nobody gonna push me around. I might be small, but I will stand my ground. I might cower before I get to know you, but I tend to warm up quickly. I am working on my house training, but still have accidents from time to time. I have also been working on my crate training, but I will bark/whimper if I’m locked up and I know people are in the house having fun without me. Although I’m not a huge fan of toys, I will play with them briefly from time to time. If you’re looking for a playful new friend who is full of personality, you should definitely pick me!" Poppy is spayed, up to date on vaccines, on heartworm prevention, microchipped and has had her teeth cleaned. She is fostered in the Orlando area and her adoption donation is $325.

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.

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.

Molly, a Terrier mix

Meet Molly! Molly is a 8-10 year old female Terrier mix and she weighs about 10 pounds. She is a sweet girl who wound up at the shelter very scared, with an eye infection and a nearly ruptured eye. We had her eye removed and she is feeling much better. She has now settled into foster care nicely and is ready to find her forever family! Her foster mom says, "Molly may be totally blind but that doesn’t stop her! Once she gets to know the “lay of the land” you would never know she is blind. She loves to play with other dogs and can wrestle with the best of them. She can’t chase them and often times when she is playing her playmate will run off to start a game of chase and Molly looks confused like “where did they go?” She loves scrubbies and will get very excited when you are paying attention to her.

At times when Molly doesn’t know where she is, she will army crawl around trying to figure a way out or to get to something familiar. If she is looking for you, she will go from room to room making little noises. If you hear her and call to her she will make a bee line to your voice. Molly loves to snuggle in bed at night and will sleep in her foster mom’s arms to make sure she doesn’t fall off the bed. Strangers can be scary to her but with a proper introduction and a little time for her to recognize a voice she is fine. She has not been walking on a leash and will use the piddle pad if she can’t get out. Molly would do great with another playful pup to help “show” her around and guide her through new experiences." Molly is up to date, spayed, current on vaccines, heartworm negative and has had her teeth cleaned. She is fostered in the Orlando area and his adoption donation is $225.

Freesia, a Beagle/Chihuahua mix

Meet Freesia! Freesia is a 3 month old female Beagle/Chihuahua/who knows but she sure is cute mix and she currently weighs about 6 pounds. She should stay under 25 pounds full grown, but we honestly can't promise that as we don't know who daddy is - he didn't stick around (we guess he was trying to bail on pup support!). Momma is a Beagle/Chihuahua mix and she weighs about 19 pounds. Freesia arrived in rescue when mom wound up at the shelter along with several other pups from a home where they were not properly being cared for. She has been raised in a loving foster home since she was a week old.

She has thrived and is ready to find a forever family to call her own. Her new family needs to be prepared for all things puppy - house training, leash training and learning what to chew and not chew. Her foster mom says, "Freesia is a spunky little lady who can be very independent at times. She loves to play tug of war and is a great lap warmer. Freesia is still learning her manners, such as house training , walking on a leash, and the appropriate things to chew on. Freesia is all puppy and cannot wait to find her forever home." She is spayed, up to date on vaccines, on flea and heartworm prevention and microchipped. Freesia is fostered in the Orlando area and her adoption donation is $350.

Momma is a Beagle/Chihuahua mix and she weighs about 19 pounds.

If unlimited kisses is what you crave, she is your girl. She is still learning her manners, such as what is ok to chew on and what is not, walking on a leash, and house training. Fancy is a high energy pup who does fine with other dogs of all sizes. She loves to cuddle up on your lap and play with toys. She is crate trained and ready to find her forever family!" Fancy 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 $350.

Porter, an Aussiedoodle/Goldendoodle mix

Meet Porter! Porter is a 4 1/2 month old male Aussiedoodle/Goldendoodle mix and he weighs about 15 pounds. He is still growing and he could grow up to be over 30 pounds, but we can't really be sure. Porter arrived in rescue after being part of an accidental litter.

He has been in a loving foster home and is thriving. He is an active puppy that will need a family up for all things puppyhood brings including leash training, house training, socialization and learning that flip flops are for feet, not food. “Doodles” are very smart and very active and need a family that will understand this, as well as their grooming needs. His foster mom says, "Porter is such an adorable little ball of fluffy cuteness! He can be shy at first and will need a lot of patience. We are working on building his confidence. He’s got a big voice and likes to use it when he thinks there are things we need to know, so a home without shared walls will be best for him! He is very energetic when he is comfortable though and loves to play with his toys. He is working on his master's degree in desqueaking them!" Porter is 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 $500.
