Cassidy, a Mixed Breed
 
Meet Cassidy! Cassidy is a 2 month old female puppy and she weighs about 8 pounds. We expect her to stay under 40 pounds when full grown, but due to her unique mix, we are unable to accurately predict her actual adult weight range. If you need a pup to stay a specific size, she is not the pup for you. Cassidy and her 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. 
 
This includes housetraining, leash training, learning what is ok to chew and not chew, as well as continued socialization. This litter is very sweet, but very energetic. Cassidy would do well with furfriends of similar energy levels, senior pups will be highly annoyed. She would also do well with dog savvy kiddos. An active home is a must - she has lots of energy! Her foster mom says: Cassidy is a cutie-patootie! She wants to be held and loved on. All are playful, typical puppies. They love being in the yard digging and playing with everyone, so you have to be out there with them watching like a hawk!  They want out of the puppy pen but are not picking up using the piddle pads for emergency potty time and not for play toys. Cassidy is smart, sensitive and eager to please, so with some one on one training she should progress along quickly! Cassidy 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.
 
 

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.  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.
 
 

Smokey, a Pomeranian
 
Meet Smokey! Smokey is a 5 year old male Pomeranian.  Currently he weighs almost 6 pounds and is on a diet to increase his weight. He arrived to us when his owner was no longer able to care for him. His foster Mom says he arrived to her a quiet boy and as time progressed he has become a very forthright and vocal character. He loves to chase squirrels, the cat if he can get it to run and all things in his fenced backyard. He is ok on a leash and is not a fan of crates. He is house trained and will use a wee pad. Smokey is working on not mouthing hands when he is excited and we are making progress, so a forever home with no small children is needed. He will require a home with zero shared walls because he is vocal when we leave the house.
 
Smokey loves his fur friends and would like to have friend(s) who can assist him learning socially acceptable ways to have a good time. We are working on how to not be on high times excitement when playing and how to come when it’s time to exit the fenced in yard. Smokey is a happy camper and will need to work consistently on basic commands. He loves treats and food time. Smokey is a vibrant, tiny happy nugget of fur and looking for a home with minimal alone time. If you have room for a big character in a tiny package Smokey is the one for you! Smokey is neutered, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative, microchipped and has had his teeth cleaned! Smoke is fostered in the Orlando area and his adoption donation is $400.
 
 

Jester, a Terrier mix
 
Please note: Jester is not hypoallergenic and does shed.

Meet Jester! Jester is a 3 month old Terrier mix puppy. He currently weighs about 12 pounds, but is still quite the growing pup. While we expect his full grown weight to be under 30 pounds, we can not accurately predict that, so if you need a pup guaranteed to be a specific size, he is not the pup for you. Jester and his litter arrived in rescue after a call brought code enforcement to their home and they were surrendered as the 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. Jester 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: Meet Jester!
 
True to his name, Jester is a happy, playful and entertaining little guy who loves to make people smile! He’s full of personality and always ready for attention from anyone willing to give him a little love. Jester enjoys playing in the yard and sometimes gets a bit vocal when he’s having fun or hears something interesting beyond the fence — he just likes to keep tabs on what’s going on! He gets along wonderfully with other dogs, big or small, and does great with kids too. While he’s brave about most things, Jester isn’t too fond of vacuums or loud machines — he’ll simply relocate to a quieter spot until the coast is clear. He’s doing great with his house training and is learning to walk nicely on a leash. If you’re looking for a cheerful companion who brings fun and affection into every day, Jester is ready to be your little ray of sunshine! ☀️🐾 Jester 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 $450.
 
 

Loki, a Puggle mix
 

Hi there, I’m Loki! And yes... I live up to my name. I’m a 5 year old, 25 pound Puggle mix with a big personality and a soft spot for people who love to play. I came into rescue when my previous family couldn’t take care of me anymore, but I’ve been hanging out in a super comfy foster home while I wait for my forever humans to find me. My foster mom says I’m the kind of pup that leaves an impression—her dad even said if he were looking for a dog, I’d be the one! And trust me, he’s met a lot of us foster pups! I’m a medium energy guy, which basically means I’m always ready for fetch or tug-of-war, but I also know how to chill when playtime is over. If you’re busy, I’ll go toss a toy around by myself or curl up for a nap (sometimes with my toy still in my mouth—don’t judge me). I follow my foster mom around the house because I like being near my people. If you sit on the couch or recliner, you better believe I’m climbing up next to you.
Now, about the important stuff:
 I’m house trained (every 3–4 hours is my sweet spot) and will even use a potty pad if I need to.
 I sleep in the big bed with my humans and have claimed a pillow as mine—bonus points if I can snuggle under the covers.
 I love attention—so much so that I don’t want to share it with other animals. No cats, dogs, or tiny pets, please.

 

 

 Older, dog-savvy kids? Cool with me.
 Apartments? Probably not the best fit—I bark at strange noises, especially if I’m home alone.
Also, I’m a master squirrel and lizard chaser, so I’ll need to wear a harness on walks to keep me safe and focused (sort of). I'm not perfect, but I promise I’m loyal, loving, and one-of-a-kind. If you’re looking for a loyal buddy who brings fun, cuddles (on my terms), and a dash of mischief into your life—I just might be your guy.
Love, Loki 

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.

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.

Gretchen, a Terrier mix
 
Please note: Gretchen is not hypoallergenic and does shed.

Meet Gretchen! Gretchen is a 3 month old Terrier mix puppy. She currently weighs about 8 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.

A senior pup would not be an ideal fur friend for her though as she does have a lot of energy. She is very smart and wants to "supervise" whatever is going on so she can learn how to do it too! She loves older kiddos and does weill with them. Overally, Gretchen is a really great girl! She is spayed, up to date on vaccines, on flea and heartworm prevention and microchipped.

Azizi, a Pomeranian
 
Meet Azizi! Azizi is a 2 year old female Pomeranian and she weighs about 7 pounds. Shei arrived in rescue when her previous family could no longer care for her. She has settled into foster care nicely and is ready to find a forever home to call her own. Her foster mom says: Azizi is a fun loving, smart, and slightly food motivated pup looking for a wonderful forever home. She is a total pro in the housetrained department and her indoor manners are impeccable. She has even mastered the basics: "sit," "stay," and "come" are in her repertoire, mostly because she knows treats are involved! She can get a little excited and express herself with some enthusiastic barking, but she is working on her indoor voice. herefore, shared walls is not ideal.  She walks like a dream on a leash—no pulling here—and loves nothing more than an intense game of fetch with her favorite toys. 
 
When playtime is over, she is an affection aficionado, living for belly scratches, head pets and a good cuddle session. Azizi is fine with her crate being her cozy little den, though she might shed a tiny tear of protest at first because she'd rather be snuggling with you! Speaking of snuggling, she has perfected the art of the co-sleep and would prefer to spend every night curled up next to her favorite human. She is looking for a person (or family) who loves fun, gives great scratches and has a steady supply of treats. If that sounds like you, inquire about Azizi today and get ready for an adventure! Azizi 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.
 
 

Warner, a Mixed Breed
 
Meet Warner! Warner is a 2 month old male puppy and he weighs about 6 pounds. We expect him to stay under 40 pounds when full grown, but due to his unique mix, we are unable to accurately predict his actual adult weight range. If you need a pup to stay a specific size, he is not the pup for you. Warner 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 housetraining, leash training, learning what is ok to chew and not chew, as well as continued socialization.

An active home is a must - he has lots of energy!! His foster mom says: Warner is a barker but also is a lover!  He wants to be held and loved on. They all like attention, it’s just Warner is the littlest, so he stands out (also the barking). All are playful, typical puppies. They love being in the yard digging and playing with everyone, so you have to be out there with them. They are all working on housetraining, but haven't quite grasped the concept that puppy pads are for piddle and not play toys, LOL!

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.
