ADOPTABLE DOGS!

Please know this page is updated DAILY!!

As stated on the adoption process page, many of these dogs will receive multiple applications. Please review the adoption process page as to when the pups are removed from this page (it's when they are adopted, as meet and greets and applications do fall through)

Orville, a Mixed Breed

Meet Orville! Orville is a 6 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 a 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. This litter is very sweet, but very energetic. They would do well with furfriends of similar energy levels, senior pups will be highly annoyed. They would also do well with dog savvy kiddos. An active home is a must - they have lots of energy!! Orville is neutered, up to date on vaccines, on flea and heartworm prevention and microchipped. Orville is fostered in the Orlando area and his adoption donation is $450.

Buster, a Goldendoodle

Meet Buster! Buster is a 2 year old male Goldendoodle and he weighs about 65 pounds. He arrived in rescue when his previous family could no longer care for him. His foster mom says: Buster is a very loving and happy pup. He likes going for walks but needs to work on his leash skills as he has a tendency to zigzag and get tangled up unless he is running. Due to his size he will need someone strong enough to handle him on the leash or a fenced yard. He really likes other dogs but doesn't always read the clues he receives from them so they don't want to play with him.

He is getting better at it but would do best as the only dog in the home for now. Buster is very well behaved in the house and never chews up anything or counter surfs. His tail may cause the occasional casualty though, lol. He loves attention and will gently put his paws on your chest (so he is eye level) to give kisses or get hugs. He rides nicely in the car and is house trained on a schedule. Buster 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 $500.

Hank, a Chinese Crested Powderpuff

Meet Hank! Hank is a 5-7 year old male Chinese Crested Powderpuff and he weighs about 10 pounds. He arrived in rescue after coming from a home with too many dogs that could not properly care for them. He has settled into foster care and his foster mom says: This tiny guy may be small, but his heart is huge.

Sweet, smart and a little shy, he just needs some time and patience to feel safe, but once he warms up, his playful personality shines.

One of his favorite pastimes is chasing his own tail and zooming around the yard as fast as his little legs will carry him before stretching out to soak up the sunshine. He’s fully house trained and sleeps in a crate at night. He doesn’t walk on a leash yet, so he’ll need a fenced yard where he can safely run and explore. He does well with other dogs and may be okay with cats, though that’s still unknown. This gentle boy is looking for a calm, loving home where he can build trust at his own pace and show you just how special he really is. Hank 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 $450.

Koko, a Shih Tzu

Meet Koko! Koko is an 8 year old female Shih Tzu and she weighs about 13 pounds. She arrived in rescue after her human became ill and could no longer care for her. She has settled into foster care nicely, but is ready to find a forever home to call her own. Her foster mom says: Koko is a very sweet and laid back lady. She is very quiet and will sit waiting at your feet for any attention she can get. She loves to go for walks and walks nicely on a leash.

She gets along well with other dogs although she mostly ignores them. She enjoys a quieter household especially where she can get a lot of attention. Koko rides well in the car and usually curls up for a nap until you reach your destination. She is not a big barker and is house trained on a schedule. Koko 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.

Eddie, a Labradoodle

Meet Eddie! Eddie is a 6 month old male Labradoodle puppy and he weighs about 20 pounds. We expect him to stay under 50 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. Eddie arrived in rescue after his previous family simply was not up for all things puppy. He has been in loving foster home and are thriving. A forever family will need to be up for all things puppy.

That includes housetraining, leash training, learning what is ok to chew and not chew, as well as continued socialization.He is very sweet, but very energetic. He would do well with furfriends of similar energy levels, senior pups will be highly annoyed. He would also do well with dog savvy kiddos. An active home is a must - he has lots of energy!! His foster mom says: Eddie is a joyful, high spirited boy who approaches life with pure exuberance. Everything is exciting to him—from playtime to walks to being around his people. His happiness is contagious! Eddie is a bouncy guy who can leap over other dogs or furniture when he’s extra excited, so an active home that enjoys a lively companion would be a great fit. He’s still working on his leash manners since the outside world is such an exciting place, but he’s eager to learn. He’s doing well with other dogs and is making good progress with house habits, using piddle pads when he isn’t able to go outside. Eddie would thrive with someone who appreciates a fun, energetic dog and is ready to help him channel his enthusiasm into good manners and adventures. In return, you’ll get endless joy, laughs and love. Eddie is neutered, up to date on vaccines, on flea and heartworm prevention and microchipped. Eddie is fostered in the Orlando area and his adoption donation is $550.

• Outdoor Safety is Key: When he is off leash, please ensure he is in a secure area. He can find any opening in a fence to escape and explore!
• Potty Habits: He is house trained on a regular schedule. A consistent routine is key, but he will use a pad if he is unable to be taken outside on time.
• Children: We haven't had a chance to test him with children, but given his sweet nature, he might be okay with older, respectful kids.
Are you ready to make this lively, affectionate, and clever gentleman a part of your family? Apply to meet Drake and start spoiling this sweet little man today!

Drake 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.

Marnie, a Corgi

Meet Marnie! Marnie is a 3-4 year old female Corgi and she weighs about 30 pounds. She arrived in rescue after her previous family could no longer care for her. She has settled into foster care and her foster mom says: Meet Marnie, your new favorite shadow! This affectionate soul is the ultimate companion for someone seeking a calm, devoted best friend with a secret silly side. If there were a gold medal for snuggling, Marnie would win it! Her favorite activity is being wherever you are, ideally curled up right next to you on the couch. You won't have to worry about the basics here, as she is fully house trained and has mastered the art of indoor manners. While she enjoys leisurely neighborhood walks, her true joy is a secure, fenced yard, where she loves to explore every sniffable corner and occasionally burst into hilarious "zoomies."

This sweetheart is crate trained and she currently requires crating when left home alone to ensure she stays out of trouble and feels secure in her own space. She is still working on her confidence and may need a little extra patience and positive reinforcement to continue feeling settled in her "den". Marnie's ideal home would be someone who is home more than gone, and no small children. Forget the squeaky toys; this dog prefers the simple life and isn't interested in playthings, choosing instead to focus all her attention on her favorite person and outdoor explorations. If you’re looking for a loyal, "velcro" companion who values affection over toys, look no further. Marnie 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 $500.

Meet Avery! Avery is a 5-7 year old female Corgi and she weighs about 23 pounds. She arrived in rescue after coming from a home with too many pups that could no longer care for her. She has settled into foster care nicely and her foster dad said she would like to introduce herself! "Herrrrrro, my name is Avery. I’m a super sweet and friendly little girl. I have a laid back and “chill” personality.

I’m not a big fan of toys, but I love attention from my human and playing with other dogs! As a herding breed, I love to run and romp. Although I like attention and being close to my humans, I am not a lap dog...I prefer to sit next to you while you rub/pet me, very very typical for a corgi. I am crate and house trained (on a schedule) and get along great with older kids and other dogs. Oh, and fun fact about me….I have heterochromia. So if you’re looking for a gentle, loyal and loving new family member, you should definitely pick me!" Avery 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 $475.

Orson, a Mixed Breed

Meet Orson! Orson is a 6 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. If you need a pup to stay a specific size, he is not the pup for you. Orson 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 a 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. This litter is very sweet, but very energetic.

They would do well with furfriends of similar energy levels, senior pups will be highly annoyed.They would also do well with dog savvy kiddos. An active home is a must - they have lots of energy!! His foster mom says: Orson is a friendly, people loving pup who thinks bedtime is best spent snuggled up in bed with his humans. He’s affectionate, gentle and always happy to soak up attention. He loves a good game of tug-o-war and gets along well with other dogs. Orson isn’t much of a barker, but he is a typical hound when it comes to curiosity—shoes and forbidden treasures are especially tempting, so he’ll need some guidance as he continues learning what’s his and what’s not. If you’re looking for a sweet, social pup who enjoys playtime followed by cuddle time, Orson could be the perfect fit. Orson 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.

Alvin, a Chinese Crested Powderpuff

Meet Alvin! Alvin is a 5-7 year old male Chinese Crested Powderpuff and he weighs about 12 pounds. He arrived in rescue after coming from a home with too many dogs that could not properly care for them. He has settled into foster care and his foster mom says: This sweet, timid boy is the definition of gentle charm. He’s smart, fully house trained and has the cutest little prance when he walks. It’s impossible not to smile watching him move. While he may take a little time to warm up, once he does he loves to lay right next to you, soaking up your presence. Blankets, toys and sunny spots in the yard are some of his favorite things, especially when the zoomies strike and he races around before flopping down to bask in the sunshine.

He has a happy, sensitive personality and doesn’t like being left alone, so he’s looking for a home with no shared walls where he can feel safe and heard. He doesn’t walk on a leash and will need a fenced in yard to enjoy his daily runs. He currently sleeps in a crate, though he isn’t a fan and is still getting used to it. He does well with other dogs and may be okay with cats, but that’s still a mystery waiting to be discovered. If you’re patient, loving, and ready for a loyal cuddle buddy, this little prancer is ready to steal your heart. Alvin 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 $450.

Jackie, a Chinese Crested Powderpuff

Meet Jackie! Jackie is a 5-7 year old female Chinese Crested Powderpuff and she weighs about 10 pounds. She arrived in rescue from a home with too many pups that could not properly care for her. She has settled into foster care and her foster dad says she would like to introduce herself: Hi, my name is Jackie. I’m a 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 with you and play with other fur friends. I love treats, but will not take them from your hand, so we will have to work on a "system" for that.

I would prefer a home with no young children and a human who can be home with me most of the day. I sleep well through the night and I’m doing well on potty training, but 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! Jackie 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.

Boris, a Shih Tzu/Maltese mix

Meet Boris! Boris is an approximately 6 year old male Shih Tzu/Maltese mix who weighs 13 pounds. His foster mom said: Boris came to us from a home that had too many dogs so due to this he was very stressed when he came into out home. He was so very scared of everything including his own shadow! He has come so very far in the time we have had him. His personality is really beginning to shine. He loves pets and cuddles and really craves attention from his human. He is totally content to snuggle with you in a comfy chair and really is happy just to chill with you. He does not walk on a leash (yet) as he just plops down once you put a harness and leash on him. He is working on house training, he is about 80 percent there, but will need someone who is patient and willing to work on that with him.

Because of his past situation he had no prior training, but he is really smart and should catch on easily to learning new things. He has been around other dogs that are his size or smaller. He loves all the dogs he has met so far and really loves to play with them. However, he does not like our cat. We think it is because he has never met one before so he prefers to bark and chase the cat. Other than the cat, he is not a big barker. He will definitely come around to love you, but be advised as it will take time. He will most likely take a little while to adjust to his new surroundings but it will be worth the wait! So if you are looking for a mellow dude then Boris is for you! Boris is neutered, up to date on his shots and also has had a dental exam and cleaning. He is fostered in the Orlando area and his adoption donation is $375.

Maggie, a Maltese/Shih Tzu mix

Meet Maggie! Maggie is a 6 year old female Maltese/Shih Tzu mix and she weighs about 11 pounds. She arrived in rescue after coming from a home with too many pups that could not properly care for them. She has settled into her foster home and is looking for a loving, patient forever home to help her continue to grow and thrive. Her foster mom says: Meet Maggie – The Sweet, Shy Soul with a Cat-Like Twist! Maggie is a gentle pup with a personality full of surprises. She sometimes channels her inner cat, sneaking off to cozy hiding spots when the world feels a little overwhelming. Nervous and cautious at first, she takes her time to trust—but once she warms up, her sweet and loving nature shines through. If you’re patient and kind, you’ll discover a loyal friend who just needs a little extra reassurance to feel safe. And here’s the fun part:

Maggie is a late-night companion! When the house is quiet and calm, she loves to come out of her shell for snuggles—and sometimes even a playful burst of energy. If you’re a night owl or enjoy peaceful evenings with a little surprise fun, she’ll be your perfect match. Maggie does need a home with no smaller children, as they do make her quite nervous. She’s fine on a leash but, will brake check you to let you know she doesn't want to do something. Maggie is almost potty trained, with a little patience she will get there. While she doesn’t love being in a crate, she will go in if needed. We’re not sure how she is with other animals yet, so slow introductions would be best. Maggie 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.

Bandit, a Pekingese

Meet Bandit! Bandit is a 1 year old male Pekingese and he weighs about 13 pounds. He arrived in rescue when his previous family could no longer care for him. He has settled into foster care and is ready to find his forever home. His foster mom says: He is a sweet, cuddly boy who loves being close to his people. Toys and belly rubs are two of his favorite things, and he’s already house trained (on a schedule) and comfortable walking on a leash. He also gets the zoomies and loves to sprint around when he’s feeling playful. At night he sleeps in a crate, though he would much rather curl up in bed with you if given the chance. He doesn’t bark much, but you may hear a quick alert if someone comes to the door.

He can be protective of his person and has some food guarding with other dogs, though this is improving with training and consistency. He generally does well with other dogs as long as they respect his space, but he should be the only dog in his forever home. He will give a warning growl if he feels uncomfortable around other pups, but he may escalate if another dog tries to take his food or challenges his bond with his human. His reaction to cats is still unknown, so slow introductions would be important. Bandit is neutered, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative and microchipped. He is fostered in the Orlando area and his adoption donation is $500.

Sabrina, a Shih Tzu/Maltese mix

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

Meet Sabrina! Sabrina is a 7 month old Shih Tzu/Maltese mix puppy. She currently weighs about 12 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. 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. She will need a family that is up for that long term,

That includes 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 housetraining, 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! Sabrina 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 $500.
