Pee Wee, a Chihuahua/Terrier mix

Meet PeeWee! PeeWee is a 10-ish year old male Chihuahua/Terrier mix and he weighs about 7 pounds. He arrived in rescue when his previous owner could no longer care for him and he wound up at animal services very scared. He has settled into foster care nicely and would love a forever home to call his own. His foster mom says, "PeeWee, a delightful dog, is truly a unique and lovable character. His bio may be a little different from the others, but it makes him even more special. He may be a senior pup, but this tiny munchkin wears his age like a badge of honor. His front teeth may be long gone, but that doesn't stop him from flashing the most heart melting grin you'll ever see. His tongue hangs out, giving him an endearing, permanent look of pure joy. PeeWee's days are relaxed and easygoing. He's a master of the art of sleep and you'll often find him napping away, snuggled in his bed. He's not one to create chaos... he's content with the peace and quiet of his surroundings. But don't be fooled by his daytime slumber – come evening, this sweet little guy transforms into a ball of energy. He's ready run around and be the life of the party when the sun goes down. His enthusiasm is contagious and he'll make sure you get your daily dose of laughter!

When he’s tuckered out, he’s found in one of his favorite spots, under the covers, in his human’s bed. He loves to snuggle up in bed and keep you warm at night. This gentleman is perfectly fine being home by himself. He's beyond the stage of chewing on your favorite shoes or furniture. Pee Wee's a good ole boy who knows how to behave. He is a fan of pee wee pads and the outdoors for his bathroom needs, though he occasionally needs a little reminder for the latter. Even as a senior dog, one of his quirks is his love for being cradled like a baby. He'll melt into your arms, and you'll both find comfort in those moments of affection. He has some missing fur and is itchy a lot, that is a work in progress. A foodie at heart, he won't hesitate to beg for a taste of your human food. His puppy dog eyes and hanging tongue are impossible to resist. Although this little guy gets along wonderfully with older kids, his foster mom would recommend a quieter household for this older gentleman. He's cat friendly, but his interactions with dogs are a bit of an unknown, as he hasn't had much exposure to them during his time in foster care. In PeeWee, you'll find a loyal and loving companion who brings a unique blend of tranquility and excitement to your life. He's a reminder that age is just a number and the joy he'll bring into your home is truly timeless. Give him a chance to be a part of your family, and you'll discover a bond that's as enduring as it is endearing." PeeWee is neutered, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative, microchipped. He is fostered in the Orlando area and his adoption donation is $225.

Alyssa, a Terrier mix

Meet Alyssa! Alyssa is a 7-8 month old old female Terrier mix and she weighs about 8 pounds. She arrived in rescue after arriving at animal services without anyone to claim her and being very scared there. She has blossomed in foster care and is ready to find a forever family to call her own. Her foster mom says, "Alyssa is the sweetest girl who just wants to please you! She has beautiful eyes and will look at you pleading for you to love her. She wants to be close to her person but not in your lap. She is happy next to you on the couch or in a dog bed at your feet.

Alyssa is friendly and loves to get attention. She also enjoys laying outside with us on the patio and chewing on a chewy bone, playing with a toy or just surveying the yard. She can be quite playful and loves a good game of chase in the yard with her foster friends. She has done well with housetraining and always uses the piddle pads if she is not able to get outside. She is very well behaved, gets along great with other dogs and only wants to find a family that will be her constant companion." Alyssa is spayed, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative and microchipped. She is fostered in the Orlando area and her adoption donation is $325.

Alexis, a Dachshund/Schnauzer mix

Meet Alexis! Alexis is a 2 1/2month old female, Dachshund (mom)/Schnauzer (dad) mix that arrived in rescue with her mom and littermates when they were surrendered because their family could not keep them. They have been raised in a loving foster home since they were about 4 weeks old. Alexis weighs about 5 pounds and she could grow to be up to 20 pounds full grown, but we can't be sure. Please know she is not hypoallergenic and she does shed. Alexis is all things puppy and will need a patient family prepare to deal with all the puppy challenges - leash training, housetraining, learning what to chew and what not to chew, etc - using positive reinforcement. Her foster mom says, "She is beyond precious!

Very sweet, gives kisses, super playful, she loves playing with toys and likes to cuddle. Alexis will need a home with no small humans as she is pretty tiny herself and her little sharp teeth hurt when playing with you. Older children would be fine. Another young fur friend to play with would be great but she should do ok alone. No senior pups since she would drive them crazy with all her puppy antics. She will need a family who is home more often than not while learning all things puppy related (housetraining, leash walking, crate training, and learning shoes are meant for human feet not toys !) Are you up for the puppy challenge" Alexis 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.

Gemmie, a Chihuahua mix

Meet Gemmie! Gemmie is a 4-5 year old female Chihuahua mix and she weighs about 10 pounds. She arrived in rescue when her previous home could no longer care for her and the large amount of other pups in her previous home. She was nervous at first, but settled into foster care nicely and is ready to find her forever home. Her foster mom says, "Gemmie AKA Gemma, and aka Gem is a gorgeous lil lady with stunning eyes!!! She is very unique looking for sure! Yes, she is mostly hairless but has a few patches of very fine hair on her chest and tail area. She was very timid and shy when she first arrived and it will take her some time to warm up but once she does her tail is always wagging .

She often will have her whole body shaking with excitement to see you. She loves to give you tons of kisses and enjoys belly rubs. You will find her sometimes napping under a cozy blanket. Gem's bottom tooth gets caught up on her upper lip which makes for a very cute “look” and will keep you entertained for sure. Fast movements make her nervous so a home without young children would be best for her. She is not 100% housetrained but we are working hard on this. Gem came in with other dogs that she gets along great with but will need to do slow intros if you have another pup in the home! Pups her size or smaller would be the best fit for her. She is terrified of a leash and collar so she must have a fenced in backyard while learning the leash is a good thing. If you’re looking for a new gorgeous bff Gem is your girl!" She is spayed, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative, microchipped and has had her teeth cleaned! Gemmie is fostered in the Orlando area and her adoption donation is $300.

Blue and Chipper, Chihuahua/Poodle/Terrier mixes

Meet Blu and Chipper! Blu is a 2-3 year old, male, Chihuahua/Poodle/Terrier mix, about 16 pounds with all the makings of a lovable companion dog. Blu came into the foster system with his son, Chipper, when his human was no longer able to care for them. Chipper, also a Chihuahua mix, is a year old, about 16 pounds. He has a mild locating patella, but surgical intervention is not recommended at this time. Their foster mom says, "These two together are a hoot! Wanting a pup but concerned you wouldn’t give them enough attention? These two keep themselves occupied when not at your side. They are both still a bit puppy, needing a little guidance as to things they shouldn’t get into, but are easily distracted from things they may be getting into. They love to play with toys, with each other, and sometimes by themselves. Most of all these two are a pair. Blu defers to Chipper in most cases, they are often found lying together on a large dog bed, side by side. Both of these boys are snugglers! They are playful, sweet and happy boys. Both are housetrained on a schedule and would love a fenced in yard.

They will make use of puppy pads if they have the need. They love their time in the yard chasing each other and working up to some zoomies. They also take leash walks. Both pups know their name, love to play, love to eat – and would do best eating on a schedule rather than having food down all the time. Chipper is food motivated and would be a good candidate for learning commands. Whatever Chipper does, Blu would likely follow. Blu and Chipper get along well with the other dogs in the house. The other dogs at the foster home are a bit smaller and much older. They haven't been around children or other animals, but as playful as they are, older children should be fine. The boys are a bit too puppy to think they’d be great with younger children. They are not ones for shared walls as they are very observant and will bark to let you know if there are sights or sounds to be investigated." Blu and Chipper are neutered, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative, microchipped and have had any dental cleaning needed. They are fostered in the Orlando area and their combine adoption donation is $500.

Pink, a Chihuahua/Terrier mix

Meet Pink! Pink is a 1 year old female Chihuahua/Terrier/total ball of cuteness mix and she weighs about 6 pounds. She arrived in rescue after her previous family became homeless and she was living in a van with them and a bunch of other dogs. She has settled into foster care nicely and her foster dad says she would like to introduce herself: Hi, my name is Pink. I am a cute and playful little girl. My foster dad says I’m very curious and brave but that’s just cuz I ain’t afraid of nuttin! I love attention, toys, treats and other dogs. But don’t let my size fool you, I won’t let anyone push me around. I get along great with older kids and I’m housetrained on a schedule.

I spend most of my free time playing and sleeping. All I need is a soft bed or a big fluffy toy and I’m out like a light. Despite my busy schedule, I’m always looking for new friends and a place to call home. If you are looking for a gentle, loyal and loving best friend, you should definitely pick me! Pink is spayed, up to date on vaccine, heartworm negative and microchipped. She is fostered in the Orlando area and her adoption donation is $375.

Ken, a Chihuahua mix

Meet Ken! Ken is a 3-4 year old male Chihuahua mix and he weighs about 8 pounds. He arrived in rescue after being found as a stray and winding up at a very overfull animal control. He has settled into foster care nicely and is ready to find a forever home to call his own. His foster mom says he would like to introduce himself: Hi! Ken’s the name and being cute is my game! I am seeking a professional Chihuahua spoiler as my permanent human to live out the rest of my high maintenance days. The following are things I need from my professional Chi spoiler: Exceptionally skilled in the art of belly scratches. Skilled in the art of baby talk within small breed dogs. Must have the ability to lift and carry up to 8 pounds of Chihuahua without assistance. SNACKIES!!!

Walkies will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Understanding I am a VIP (very important pupper) Snuggles. I do walk on a leash, but I don't love it. I do my business outside but will use a puppy pad if the human doesn't take me out on time. I am not a big barker but will bark if I feel necessary. I love toys, curling up next to you and as a professional Chihuahua spoiler, you will need to supply me with blankets that I can get under. I am a very loyal pup and expect the same in my human! Ken is neutered, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative, microchipped and has had hi teeth cleaned! He is fostered in the Orlando area and his adoption donation is $300.

Jet, a Yorkie/Schnauzer mix

Meet Jet! Jet is a 1-2 year old male Yorkie/Schnauzer-y mix and he weighs about 10 pounds. He arrived in rescue after being taken to animal services as a stray with no one coming to claim him. He has settled into foster care nicely and is ready to find a forever home to call his own. His foster mom says, "My nickname for Jet is "Wild Man". He is very high energy and is always on the go. He can escape any enclosure, so a crate is the the best and only means of confinement. He can climb and jump very high. Jet isn't a fan of the crate when placed in there and will bark. He has a very loud bark, so no shared walls please. He is not fully housetrained yet and he likes to "mark" his territory, so he wears a belly band in the house for now. He is still a puppy at heart and chews on things.

He loves to run and run around in the fenced yard.Need a lizard catcher-Jet's your guy! They have no chance when Jet is chasing them! He is still new to walking on a leash and harness and will need patience and time as he learns them. He likes other dogs his size and isn't sure about cats. He loves and prefers to get all the attention. He's also very sweet and loves his cuddle time, especially at night. He is a funny little guy with a great personality," Jet is neutered, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative and microchipped. He is fostered in the Orlando area and his adoption donation is $350.

Loki, a Puggle mix

Meet Loki! Loki is a 2 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. Loki plays with his foster brother constantly and likes to wrestle so he would need a dog about his size or bigger to play with. Tug is one of his favorite games and he likes it when the humans play too.

He is working on housetraining 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 does not like to cuddle. He currently sleeps on a dog bed in the primary bathroom and is pretty good with sleeping through the night. I think Loki would like a house with another dog to play with, but 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 $300.

Marco, a Goldendoodle

Please note Marco is not fully hypoallergenic - he does shed some!

Meet Marco! Marco is a 5 month old male Goldendoodle and he weighs about 30 pounds. He is still a puppy and growing, which means he could grow to be larger than 50 pounds. We just want his new family to be prepared for however big he may get! Marco arrived in rescue when his litter was surrendered. He's been doing great in foster care, but is ready for a forever family to call his own - but that family must be ready for all things puppy - including leash training, housetraining, continued socialization and learning what is OK to chew and what isn't.

His foster mom says, "Marco is a beautiful sweet shy boy. He is shy but when he decides you’re fine, he loves to play and get his loving. Marco is 5 months old and still a growing puppy that will require time and training for him to become a loyal loving family member. He is crate trained and working on housetraining and walking on a leash. So far he’s not fond of the leash, so it would be best for him to have a fenced in yard to play in and do his business. Marco is a true puppy that finds ways to get into trouble, but what a joy he is. He has so much love to give and loves to be loved! He likes to eat and enjoys his treats. As I’ve said ,he’s shy and will need time for his personality to come through. You can’t help love this sweet boy!" Marco 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 $500.

Timmy, a Yorkie

Hi Friends! I’m Timmy and welcome to my TimmyTalk!

Hello again Friends! I am very excited to join you for another TimmyTalk and this will be one of my favorites because it’s all about ME! That’s right, this is my TimmyTalk where I begin my search for my forever family! I have some VERY specific requirements and there will be NO exceptions. I am a very special little pup with special needs. I will be honest upfront: If you submit an application for me and do not meet the qualifications because you did not pay full attention to my TimmyTalk, it will be ignored. I know I am going to be a very popular pup, obviously, and the humans here already have their hands full with me and the other pups so they do not have the extra time to teach my friends out there reading comprehension. All my friends are super smart, so certainly you got this. By now all of you, my friends, should know me. I’m Timmy! I am a 1 year old Yorkie. I identify as a neutered male and I weigh about 6 pounds, depending on the time of day and if the humans have properly served my meals. When I arrived here in rescue, I was very sick. It took a lot of testing a great medical team, but the amazing team at UF sorted out that I had a rare type of liver shunt and some extra veins connecting to it. It took almost 6 months of special medications, special diets and a LOT of me training the humans in order to get me healthy enough for my liver shunt surgery. My surgery was a success and I am feeling AMAZING! I now get to live like a normal puppy and do all the fun puppy things that I couldn’t before. However, I do have a special diet (just a certain kibble, non prescription) that I do well on and will need to stay on. I can’t have ANY human food (I have filed grievances with the doctors but they say it could kill me and I kinda like living so….) and my treats must be strictly regulated.

For a lot of my life, the food I ate had to be strictly measured as well as what it became when I was done with it in order to make sure my liver was doing OK. Because of all of this, my housetraining is a work in progress. I do really well with a consistent schedule, but any variations and welp, it throws me off. I am trying hard, but I will need my humans to try hard too and be very patient with me. NO negative reinforcement! I don’t like it and I won’t stand for it and I will be VERY vocal about it. Speaking about vocal, I do like to talk. I mean, I give TimmyTalks regularly, so a home with no shared walls is a must. I don’t need the neighbors getting all upset if I need to have a talk at 2pm and they are on a WiFi zoom or trying to watch General Hospital. I have been told by the humans here that I need to learn this whole “leash” thing, but I find it insulting and I am not giving in so easy to them. I may come around to it, but you are definitely going to have to be patient with me and work with me on this. Also, please know I do NOT enjoy tiny humans and do not want them in my forever home. I also do not wish to be treated like a tiny human with clothes put on me, I do not find it cute. I do however enjoy regular grooming by a professional. I would ideally like an active family - maybe with some older young humans (teenagers I believe they are called?), but where I am the only furkid. I know the other pups here and I enjoy visiting with them, but I am just not sure yet how I feel about sharing a human forever. I can not guarantee I will ever be up for that. As I previously let you know, I am neutered, all my vaccines are current, I am heartworm negative and microchipped. I do, however, have a follow up check this fall at the 1 year checkpoint from my surgery, and it MUST be done at UF. It will be an entire day of you there with me, on a weekday, and the estimate is $1200-$1500 for all my tests. My new family will be responsible for this, so please take this into careful consideration before you apply for me. I already have a lawyer retained should you fail to follow through on this so that I can go back to the humans who will make sure I am cared for. They have worked really hard to keep me alive and get me healthy. Honestly, if my forever family had previous experience with liver shunts, that would be incredible, but as long as you are understanding of all my requirements, and want to love me forever, I can work with that. My TimmyTalks are pretty informative and I am happy to teach you! I am fostered in the Orlando area and my adoption donation is $500.

Beau, a Goldendoodle

Meet Beauregard! Beauregard (Beau) is a 4 month old male Goldendoodle and he weighs about 23 pounds. He is still a puppy and growing, which means he could grow to be larger than 50 pounds. We just want his new family to be prepared for however big he may get! Beau arrived in rescue when his litter was surrendered. He's been doing great in foster care, but is ready for a forever family to call his own - but that family must be ready for all things puppy - including leash training, housetraining, continued socialization and learning what is OK to chew and what isn't. His foster mom says, "Beau is a beautiful sweet super shy boy.

He is extremely shy, but when he decides you’re fine he loves to play and get his loving.Beau is still a growing puppy that will require time and training for him to become a loyal loving family member. He is crate trained and working on housetraining as well as walking on a leash. So far he’s not fond of the leash so it would be best for him to have a fenced in yard to play in and do his business. Beau is a true puppy that finds ways to get into trouble but what a sweetheart he is. He has so much love to give and loves to be loved and cuddled. He likes to eat and enjoys his treats, so he’s treat motivated. As I’ve said, he’s extremely shy and will need time for his personality to come through. He gets along with dogs of all sizes, but he is still growing and can play rough.. He has such soulful eyes that I love looking into." Beau 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 $500.

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 housetrained 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." 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.

Maddox, a Shih Tzu mix

Meet Maddox! Maddox is a 4 month old male Shih Tzu mix puppy and he weighs about 10 pounds. He is still a growing puppy and we are unsure how big he will eventually be. Maddox arrived at animal services with his mom and littermates as part of a confiscation case and then was transferred to rescue ahead of the hurricane. He has settled into foster care nicely and is ready for a forever family to call his own - one that is fully up for everything puppy including housetraining, leash training and what to chew and not chew. As he loves to be underfoot and also jump, a senior home would not be a good match for him. His foster mom says, "Maddox is a mountain goat masquerading as a dog with the cutest nose. LOL He can jump, climb, etc. onto furniture or people with amazing ease. If someone is crouched down, he will jump right up on their shoulders and hang on.

He gets so excited to get attention, he can’t contain himself and jumps and leaps all over you! If you scrub floors on your hands and knees and want a faithful companion riding on your back then Maddox is your guy! Maddox is extremely loving and funny and smart. He can be a bit of a barker when someone new enters the house but that is mostly out of excitement (but no shared walls like apartments or townhomes please). He loves to play with his friends in his foster home and racing all around the yard. He is the fastest one! Maddox is a good boy who hasn’t chewed anything he is not supposed to (yet!) and uses the piddle pads or goes outside to do his “buisiness”" Maddox is neutered, on flea and heartworm prevention, up to date on vaccines and microchipped. He is fostered in the Orlando area and his adoption donation is $500.

Alonso, a Terrier mix

Meet Alonso! Alonso is a 7-8 month old old male Terrier mix and he weighs about 10 pounds. He arrived in rescue after arriving at animal services, without anyone to claim him and being very scared there. He has blossomed in foster care and is ready to find a forever family to call his own. His foster mom says, "Alonso is a happy, energetic and playful guy! He is always up for an adventure and loves to play with all his foster friends. He enjoys playing in the yard and often has to be coaxed to come back inside. There is so much to explore he can’t help himself.

Alonso is always looking for attention and will throw you the biggest party whenever you return even if you are gone for a few minutes. When he is playing he bounces all over the furniture and acts quite comical. He gets along great with other dogs and is good with older kids. He doesn’t care the size of the hands as long as they are giving him love and scrubbies. His mission is to get as much attention as he can, lol! Alonso is still learning to walk on a leash and is housetrained on a schedule." Alonso is neutered, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative and microchipped. He is fostered in the Orlando area and his adoption donation is $325.

Tinkerbell, a Chihuahua mix

Meet Tinkerbell! Tinkerbell is a 1-2 year old female Chihuahua mix and she weighs about 7 pounds. She arrived in rescue after arriving at animal services from a home with way too many dogs. She has blossomed in foster care and is ready to find a forever family to call her own. Her foster mom says,"This pretty girl is very timid and shy in the beginning and will need someone willing to be patient with her! Once Tinkerbell (aka Tink) warms up she will ask politely by putting her paw on your leg to be picked up or petted.

She will also go belly up for some belly rubs once she feels safe with you. She enjoys sleeping in the human bed once you’re bffs. Tink is not a fan of other pups getting in her personal space until she is comfortable with them. Slow intros will be very very important. Once comfortable she loves to play. Tinkerbell will need a home that is not super active as she is nervous of everything new. NO kids under the age of 12, no exceptions. Older children must be dog savvy and ok with not loving on her until she feels safe. She will need a fenced in yard because she is terrified on a harness/leash. She is not 100% housetrained but we are working on this. Tink is a sweet girl and is very good at giving you the “puppy dog eyes” that will melt your heart when she wants your attention." Tinkerbell is spayed, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative, microchipped and has had her teeth cleaned. She is fostered in te Orlando area and her adoption donation is $300.

Maddie, a Shih Tzu mix

Meet Maddie! Maddie is a 4 month old female Shih Tzu puppy and she weighs about 5 pounds. She is still a growing puppy and we are unsure how big she will eventually be. Maddie arrived at animal services with her mom and littermates as part of a confiscation case and then was transferred to rescue ahead of the hurricane. She has settled into foster care nicely and is ready for a forever family
to call her own - one that is fully up for everything puppy including house training, leash training and what to chew and not chew. Since she loves to be underfoot and also jump, a senior home would not be a good match for her. Her foster mom says, "Maddie may be tiny but she is feisty! She can play rough with the bigger dogs one minute and be
curled up in a dog bed with one the next.

She loves being a lap dog and will sit on your lap for as long as you let her. She doesn’t want to share the lap and will politely growl at any dog who would dare to try. When Maddie gets excited she hops and twirls around like a ballerina. She is a very happy, friendly and playful puppy. She can be a little nervous when first meeting strangers but warms up quickly. Maddie has done excellent with learning to use piddle pads or going outside to potty. A leash is still a scary thing but she knows to only chew on puppy approved items. She would love to find a home that will treat her like the princess she thinks she is!" Maddie is spayed, on flea and heartworm prevention, up to date on vaccines and
microchipped. She is fostered in the Orlando area and her adoption donation is $500.

Rocko, a Pekingese/Shih Tzu mix

Meet Rocko! Rocko is a 6-7 year old male Pekingese/Shih Tzu mix and he weighs about 17 pounds. He arrived in rescue when his previous human could no longer care for him. Rocko was very nervous about all the changes in his life, but has settled into foster care, and is looking for a very specific home. His foster mom says, "Rocko likes his “space”. For this reason, I do not recommend a home with children, another dog, or lots of activity with people coming over. His ideal forever home would be with someone looking for the companionship of a loyal pup, without cuddling. He does not like you near his face. Rocko gets anxious when being left alone or if he can’t see you. He’s better with being left alone for short periods once he learns your schedule and he’s been with you for a while, at least a few weeks. It took him awhile to open up and start letting his personality shine through, but with patience he will reward you with lots of love, tail wags and companionship.

Once he begins to open up and trust you, you’ll see that he’s a special little guy filled with lots of love to give! Rocko is really sweet and quiet and is not a “in your face” type of dog. He is housetrained on a schedule and only barks when someone comes over. He likes to go for walks, but is very particular about other dogs on walks, best to not have him interact. Rocko really likes to play “fetch” with toys and chase after sprays and streams from a water hose. He is the first pup I’ve fostered that is not a “foodie”. I am currently feeding him Science Diet, with just a little water to moisten it. He is not food possessive and doesn’t seem to care for treats. Rocko gets a little nervous when he hears thunder and lightning, but as long as he can see you and be in the same room, he’s ok. He prefers to sleep on the floor rather than in a pet bed but will sometimes jump up on the couch or recliner.

Junior, a Yorkie/Schnauzer/Terrier mix

Meet Junior! Junior is a 2 year old male Yorkie/Schnauzer/Terrier/ton of cuteness mix and he weighs about 12 pounds. He arrived in rescue as a stay at animal services where no one came for him and he was very scared. He has settled into foster care nicely and is ready for a forever home to call his own! His foster mom says, "Junior is a sweet, high energy puppy with all the curiosity that entails! He is learning all his puppy skills including housetraining but still has accidents, so patience and a schedule are key. Junior is able to jump up on furniture and a closed toilet if something intrigues him.

He wants to be where you are and will voice his displeasure if you’re home and have abandoned him in a different room, so no shared walls (apartments/townhomes). That being said, he settles down quickly and is content to find a comfy spot and play with a toy. And boy does he love toys!! Junior gets along well my dogs but thinks the cat is evil and will chase her at every opportunity. He sleeps very well at night, preferring to be in the bed with you, but also happy in a crate if you so choose. He is extremely eager to please, wickedly smart and would make a great new family member." Junior is neutered, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative and microchipped. He is fostered in the Orlando area and his adoption donation is $325.

Lassie, No Longer Accepting Applications!

Meet Lassie! Lassie is a 2 year old female Golden Retriever and she weighs about 60 pounds. She arrived in rescue when her human became ill and could no longer care for her. Her foster mom says, "Lassie is a typical golden retriever - calm, well behaved, friendly, intelligent and majestic. She barks occasionally, so no shared walls. She is crate trained and willing goes in with a treat. She loves to run in the yard and is curious about sights and smells. She enjoys toys and will encourage you to share her playfulness, especially a gentle tug of war! Lassie delights in playing with the other dogs of similar size and enthusiasm. She is inquisitive around cats, so a home without felines is best, unless dog-savvy. She seems to be housetrained on a schedule, but I haven't noticed any particular sign to let me know when she needs to go out. She isn't leash trained, but we are working on it. Her new family will need to continue the routine with positive reinforcement and a harness. She is eager to please and I believe easily trained.

Lassie would do best with an active family, a playful canine friend of comparable size and a fenced yard (although be careful of her ability to open the gate). She loves people and greets them enthusiastically, often forgetting her size, so no small kiddos or frail adults. Lassie is good natured and happiest when giving and receiving love. A win-win!" Lassie 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 $450.

Abby, No Longer Accepting Applications!

Meet Abby! Abby is a 2-3 year old female Shih Tzu mix and she weighs about 10 pounds. She arrived in our care after she was confiscated from a home. She has quickly settled into her new foster home. Her foster mom says, "Abby loves a leash and runs to door to sit waiting to go exploring. She is also thrilled to sniff every inch of her fenced backyard and of course follow her two fur friends around to make sure she misses nothing. Abby is good on car rides, tolerates the cat and is housetrained on a schedule. She is very much still a puppy at heart! Everything is a happy joyful event and she loves a lap or a snuggle next to her foster parents.

She understands sit and stay and when she get overexcited a voice command to relax is well taken. Abby is a tad shy when new people come into the house but shyness last 5 minutes and then everybody is offered a lap pet. She is great with her other pup housemates and even waits for them to finish their meal in case there is a morsel left. She loves her meals and treats. Abby is submissive to her fur housemates and shows no intention of not minding her mates. She is a delicious companion, eager for belly rubs, any touching available and settles right in for a nap against your leg if you are sitting. Sweet and soulful expressive eyes tell you how much she thinks you are the most important person on planet. Abby would love a home with other fur friends to keep her busy watching them and doing everything they are up to." Abby is spayed, up to date on vaccines, microchipped, heartworm negative and has had her teeth cleaned. She is fostered in the Orlando area and her adoption donation is $350.
