Star, a Golden Retriever/Goldendoodle mix |
|
READ THIS ENTIRE LISTING THOROUGHLY BEFORE APPLYING.
Meet Star! Star is an 11 week old female Golden Retriever/Goldendoodle mix puppy. Mom was a Golden Retriever, dad was a Goldendoodle, the puppies are in no way allergy friendly/non-shed/hypoallergenic. She currently weighs about 15 pounds, but is growing daily and as both parents were over 55 pounds so we expect the puppies all will be as well. Star arrived in rescue with her mom and litter when her previous family could no longer care for them. She and her littermates have been raised in a loving foster home since they were 5 weeks old. She is a VERY active puppy who will need a family up for all things puppy - socialization, house training, leash training, learning what to chew and not chew, crate training and all her other important life skills. A fenced yard is required, non-negotiable and no, a common, fenced "dog park" area is does not count. Yes, we will check your fence. Yes, we will check that the address you give us is yours. Her foster mom says, "All of the puppies are happy and very playful. They love attention from all people and love it if someone just hangs out in their puppy pen with them. Whoever is in it becomes the human jungle gym with puppies climbing on them or snuggled up next to them. |
|
They love to go outside and dig holes and run in the grass - you can not leave them alone or unwatched even for a minute! They tend to get into mischief when they are bored and somehow get ahold of something they shouldn't. They can be very crafty at times! They use the piddle pads regularly and know that is where they go to do their "business". Star is a pretty well rounded puppy,but she is a sassy girl! She will talk to you but then loves to give you kisses too. Star loves to roughhouse and thinks playtime is the best time. She loves to play with toys, but unstuffed ones are the best option for her unless you want your house to look like a build-a-bear stuffing bin exploded inside! Star would love a family to call her own that will help her continue to blossom and grow!" She is spayed, up to date on vaccines, on flea and heartworm prevention and microchipped. Star is fostered in the Orlando area and her adoption donation is $500. |

Meet Suni! Suni is a 3-4 year old female Yorkie mix and she weighs about 10 pounds. She arrived in rescue from a home with too many dogs that could not properly care for her. She has settled into foster care nicely, but is ready to find a forever family to call her own. Her foster dad says she would like to introduce herself: Hi, my name is Suni. I’m a super sweet and friendly little girl, but I tend to be skittish at first until I get to know you. |
|
Although I’m not currently a huge fan of toys, I will play with them briefly from time to time. I LOVE treats and attention from my human and will never turn down a belly rub! I also like to be close to my human and follow them wherever they go. I am crate trained, but I do not like being locked up alone. I get along well with older children and other dogs once I’m comfortable with them. I am house trained but can have an occasional accident due to nervous piddles. So, if you’re looking for a loving best friend and/or a new shadow, then you should definitely pick me! Suni 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. |

Meet Zelly! Zelly is a 1-2 year old female Chihuahua mix and she weighs about 9 pounds. She came into rescue from a home with too many pups that was unable to properly care for her. She has settled into foster care nicely, but is ready to find her forever home, as long as they are spicy Chihuahua familiar. Her foster mom says, "Hi everyone! Meet Zelly! She is 110% Chihuahua and can be a little spicy. She has two favorite things to do ~ one being going on her walks and the second being trying to eat my cat’s treats. Zelly is 100% crate trained and house trained (on a schedule) and she sleeps in the crate through out the night not making a peep. She also walks great on a leash and harness so a fenced in yard is not a necessity. |
|
I think she would do best in a no dog, no kid home as she gets overstimulated quickly, but she peacefully lives with my cat although there isn’t a ton of interaction between them. When meeting new people, Zelly can be a little stand offish but as soon as she realizes they're a friend and not a foe, she is good to go! Zelly loves playing with all kinds of toys and she can get slightly mouthy when she gets too excited (we are working with her on this). She eats her dog food well, twice a day, but she will never be against any extra treats or food, so just be warned! Zelly is looking for a home where she can be her true chihuahua self!" She is spayed, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative, microchipped and has had her teeth cleaned. Zelly is fostered in the Orlando area and her adoption donation is $325. |

Meet Raney! Raney is a 1 year old female Labradoodle and she weighs about 21 pounds. She arrived in rescue when her previous family could no longer care for her. She has settled into foster care well, but would love a forever family total her own. Her foster mom says, "Raney is a very sweet but shy girl. She loves to get attention and will paw at you to let you know she is there for some love. She is very shy around strangers and will sit in a corner as still as a statue just watching what is going on. Eventually she will quietly slip up next to you so she doesn't miss anything. When Raney wags her tail, she wags the whole back half of her body with excitement. She gets along well with other dogs but would do best as the only dog in the house. |
|
Walking on a leash is a little scary but she has been improving, so a home with a fenced yard is preferred.She also likes to sleep in bed at night and will try to make herself as little as possible so you don't kick her off. Raney needs a family who will continue to work with her to grow into the wonderful girl we know she can be!" Raney 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. |

This brave little wizard was found on the side of the road, with his sister. Dobby currently weighs about 22 pounds, but is growing fast and will likely be over 50 pounds when full grown, although we can't magically predict that! Despite his tough beginnings, Dobby’s heart is as pure as unicorn hair.
|
|
Much like his namesake, Dobby is insanely sweet, incredibly smart and endlessly outgoing. He’s always up for an adventure, whether it’s chasing spells (or toys), practicing his wizardry (or training), or curling up with his favorite witches and wizards. He’s as clever as Hermione and as loyal as Hagrid’s Fang. If you’re looking for a magical companion who will love you always, Dobby the House Hound is ready to cast his spell on your heart.

Dumped on the side of the road with her brother, Dobby, this little magical mischief maker is now searching for her forever family. She currently weighs about 18 pounds, but is growing fast and will likely be over 50 pounds when full grown, although we can't magically predict that! |
|

She’s clever as a Ravenclaw, brave as a Gryffindor, and her playful spirit will charm her way into your heart faster than you can say “Accio puppy!” Winky loves meeting new people, exploring the great outdoors, and soaking up all the love she can get.
Before joining her new family, Winky will be spayed and up to date on all her vaccinations. She’s ready to bring joy, love and a little mischief (the fun kind!) to her new home. If you’re ready to give Winky a forever home where she’ll feel as loved as Dobby did with a sock, she’s ready to meet you!

Meet Boris! Boris is a 2 year old male Chihuahua mix and he weighs about 11 pounds. He arrived in rescue after living in a home with too many dogs that could not properly care for him. He's settled into foster care nicely, but would love a forever home to call his very own. His foster mom says, "This guys is such a quirky, fun and outgoing Chihuahua once he gets to know you. I call him my little velcro dog... if I’m in the kitchen, he’s in the kitchen, if I’m in the bathroom so is he. He just wants to be everywhere with you. Boris has a bigger dog sister in the home, which he really enjoys. He is still unsure with how to play but my friend has smaller dogs and he loves to play with them. |
|
There is no such thing as a dog stranger to this guy! Boris is better with women, but he has come around to my fiancée since I’ve had him. He has learned to walk on a harness very well, a fenced in yard is not a necessity for him. Boris is 100% house trained inside and in the crate - no accidents for this guy as long as he knows the routine and the schedule (which may take him just a few days)! He’s in the crate when we are gone and at night. It has absolutely become his safe space. Boris eats his dog food very well but does like to eat in his crate. His favorite time of the day is in the evening when he can sit on the couch with us and snuggle up under his blankey. Although I don’t have a cat, Boris has seen them outside and he doesn’t show a ton of interest. He has not been around many kids, but his limited exposure to older children has been positive. Boris is looking for a special someone to give him a little time to be his true best self!" He is neutered, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative, microchipped and has had his teeth cleaned. Boris is fostered in the Orlando area and his adoption donation is $325. |

Meet Herbie! Herbie is a 2 year old male Cockapoo and he weighs about 21 pounds. He arrived in rescue after coming from a home with too many dogs where they were unable to properly care for him. Herbie has settled into foster care and has been thriving while learning how to "dog". His foster mom says, "It is our understanding that Herbie came into rescue from a situation where he had very little human interaction. When he arrived in foster care, he was very timid and afraid of most things. |
|
He has come a long way, but still is very "puppy" and will need further training on his issues. He is a very smart dog and seems to catch on quickly. We are working on house training on a schedule, but he still will have an oopsie once in a while. He has caught on quickly to walk on a leash and he would love an active family who has the time and desire to take him out on walks. He gets along great with our dog and cat. He is very playful, but can be a bit of a barker as he gets excited easily, so a home without shared walls is needed." Herbie 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. |

Meet Nicole! Nicole is a 10-12 year old female Yorkie and she weighs about 9 pounds. She arrived in rescue when her previous family could no longer care for her. She's settled into foster care, but would love a family to call her own again. Her foster mom says, "Nicole is a sweet girl that loves to be held. She is timid and shy at first, but her personality comes out more as she adapts to her new environment. She loves to be held 24/7 and has to be the dog closest to you at all times. She is 100% a velcro dog and she loves belly rubs. Nicole is quiet and doesn’t bark much. You can take her everywhere as long as you are by her side. She is good with other dogs or by herself. We are not sure about cats. |
|
She doesn’t walk well on a leash, so a fenced yard is needed for potty time.However, for going places, she is great in a sling. She is house trained and puppy pad trained. She goes out frequently and will use the puppy pads if you can’t take her out as often. No crate is needed, she will sleep in a dog bed next to the human. Her ideal adopter should be retired or work from home." Nicole 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. |

Meet Cricket! Cricket is a 10 year old female Chihuahua and she weighs about 10 pounds. She arrived in rescue when her previous human could no longer care for her. She has settled into foster care but is ready for a new human to call her very own! Her foster mom says, "Are you retired? Work remote? Never leave your house or if you do, you would like a tag along? Good with not having any personal space ever again? If you answered yes to all questions above then Cricket is perfect pup for you!! This girl LOVES to be with her human 24/7. Cricket is definitely a girls girl and warms up to ladies much quicker. She will follow you everywhere you go (unless of course she has already forced you to carry her). She will happily go into her sling if it means she gets to be with you. Cricket came in with some hair loss that will most likely never grow back but it certainly does not affect her cuteness!! She will bark at strangers when they come into her home but settles after a bit. |
|
Cricket will demand to sleep in the bed with her humans and feels sure she needs to give you a bath before y'all fall asleep. Once done giving you your kisses, she will curl up next to you under the covers. Stairs leading to the bed are a must! Cricket gets along well with other dogs after a few days, but would also be very happy as the only princess. She thinks during meal time that they should absolutely share their food with her, whether they want to or not. Cricket is not house trained, but it's a work in progress. If you are certain you are ready to lose all personal space and you have all the time to give to this sweet baby girl then apply today!" Cricket 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. |

Princess, a Chihuahua/Poodle/Terrier mix |
|
Meet Princess! Princess is a 5 year old Chihuahua/Poodle/Terrier mix and she weighs about 15 pounds. She arrived in rescue after being left at animal services when her family could not care for her. She was very scared there and needed to decompress in a foster home. She has settled in well and her foster mom says she would like to introduce herself: Hi! My name is Princess. My foster mommy calls me Pretty Pretty Princess! I love my foster mommy, but I am ready to find a family of my own. I would love to be a spoiled only "princess". While I get along with the other dogs in the house. |
|
I don't like the others joining me with my foster mommy snuggling on the couch watching reruns on TV (my favorite show is Mama's Family). I like to tuck myself in under a blanket to sleep. If you want to get my attention, food works every time! I'm very cautious around new people but once I get to know you, I'll be your best friend! I do not really like men very much and will bark at them, so I really need a girls-only home please!" Princess 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 $300. |

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.

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.

Meet Kingsley! Kingsley is a 4 year old male Shih Tzu mix and he weighs about 14 pounds. He found himself surrendered to animal services right before Hurricane Milton and in need of a safe place to go, as he was very scared at the shelter. He arrived in rescue and has been doing great and is ready to find a forever family to call his own. His foster mom says, "He is a little shy with new people at first, but with time and a few treats, he comes around. Kingsley loves to leave the house for a walk, where he can sniff around and discover new smells. However, he will bark and bark at other dogs while walking. He also loves the car! He will sit strapped into his doggie car seat and watch the world go by the window! Kingsley would love a family that is home more than they are out. He has separation anxiety when left alone and doesn’t settle down until you return (so a home without shared walls is ideal). |
|
|
|
He does MUCH better with a furfriend, so one is needed in his forever home.He is a smart (too smart for his own good sometimes!) and sweet boy. He has been playing and playing with the other foster in the home-he has energy! He can jump mighty high for a little one. Human siblings (older kiddos) would be fine! Kingsley has plenty of energy to run and play in the yard, but he is just as happy curled up next to you on the couch. He does not like being in a crate; he would love to sleep in bed with you. He hasn't had an overnight accident and is crate/house trained as long as he is taken out on a schedule, and you are home. Kingsley would love to be the newest member of your family!" He is neutered, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative, microchipped and has had his teeth cleaned. Kingsley is fostered in the Orlando area and his adoption donation is $325. |

Meet Coco! Coco is a 10 year old male Chihuahua and he weighs about 9 pounds. He arrived in rescue when his previous family could no longer care for him. He has settled into foster care nicely but would love a forever family to call his very own. His foster mom says, "Meet my handsome foster boy Coco! He is a sweet guy, but shy at times. Once he is comfortable in his new home, he seeks out affection from you. |
|
He will take a little time to adjust to his new surroundings. He loves to sleep in the bed with his humans and also enjoys hanging out on the couch with you. Coco loves his food/treats and is very treat motivated (although he could use to lose a pound or two which we are working on). Although he currently lives with other pups, he would do best as an only pup (he isn't fond of sharing food/treats). Coco is very excitable when there is a knock on the door and he goes into protection mode, but then quickly calms down. He is not 100% house trained but will use a potty pad if one is available to him. A quiet home without children would be best for him. Coco walks well on a leash and enjoys a short leisurely stroll." He is neutered, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative, microchipped and has had his teeth cleaned. Coco is fostered in the Orlando area and his adoption donation is $275. |

Meet Abby! Abby is a 1 year old female Corgi (and we think Basset Hound mix) and she weighs about 20 pounds. She arrived in rescue after winding up at animal services just before Christmas in rough shape. They soon discovered Abby had some orthopedic abnormalities and would need a special home. She doesn't let her issues bother her though and she is one of the sweetest, bestest pups there is and is ready to find a forever home as amazing as she is. Her foster mom says, "Oh goodness, I could never say enough about this girl. She can be sweet, spicy and salty within the same 5 minutes. When I picked her up from the shelter, she was completely shut down. After I got her home, she met her foster siblings, got a full belly and immediately started coming out of her shell. Abby has HOD and gets tired very quickly. (Hypertrophic osteodystrophy). HOD is an orthopedic developmental disorder that can cause limping, pain, and swelling of a dog’s joints. A fenced in yard is a MUST for her. She doesn’t do well walking on a leash/collar. Abby will also need a house with carpet or quite a few rugs. Sometimes when she gets tired, her legs fall out from underneath of her - she gets up without a problem. I have smaller and larger dogs and she loves them all. |
|
She holds her own with my bigger ones without an issue. There are times she will hangout with us outside, then come inside after about 30 minutes and put herself in her cage for a nap for about an hour or two. She does love her space/alone time. Abby isn’t a super social girl with people. Once she got comfortable with my fiance and I, she comes out and hangs out with us all the time and wants me to pick her up to put her up on the couch with me. It just takes a bit of time for her to warm up. I tell everyone that comes over, you just have to make Abby love you. She eats her dog food super well and is absolutely house trained in her crate and in the house. Abby rides super well in the car with no issues as well. I call her a work of art, that just needs love and some space. She is ready to be home with you!" Abby is spayed, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative and microchipped. She is fostered in the Orlando area and her adoption donation is $300. |

Ben, a Shih Tzu/Yorkie mix |
|
Meet Ben! Ben is a 1 year old male Shih Tzu/Yorkie mix and he weighs about 8 pounds. He arrived in rescue after coming from a home with too many pups that was unable to properly care for them all. Ben is learning how to be a cherished pet in foster care and would love a patient family to call his very own His foster mom says, "Ben is very cautious and shy in the beginning when meeting new humans and other pups. Once he settles in he loves getting the attention he craves. He loves snuggling up next to you. He would do ok with another pup in the home of similar size (it will take him some time to warm up). He would also do ok as an only pup as long as his humans were around for the better part of the day.
|
|
Ben can be a bit of a velcro pup once y'all have become BFF's. For such a little guy, he’s got a big bark. He will alert bark when he thinks it’s necessary and will bark when you leave the room and not allow him to follow. Ben is not 100% house trained but we are working on this. A fenced in yard is a must. No exceptions! He doesn't walk on leash and at this time is very nervous to be on one. He will need a patient family willing to work with him on his leash training. Ben is still learning what is appropriate to chew on and what is not. Due to him being shy/nervous, a home with no younger children (older, patient ones would be ok) is preferred." Ben 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 $375. |

Meet Symphony! Symphony is a 2 year old female Yorkie mix and she weighs about 10 pounds. She arrived in rescue from a home with too many dogs that could not properly care for her. She has settled into foster care nicely, but is ready to find a forever family to call her own. Her foster dad says she would like to introduce herself: Hi, my name is Symphony. 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. Once I’m settled and feel safe, I love to run outside and play. I also like attention from my human and treats! |
|
I would prefer a home with no young children or other animals (unless they are smaller than me) and a human who can be home with me most of the day. I currently like to sleep in my crate, but I do not like being locked up during the day. A home without shared walls would be best because I will bark when alone or locked up. 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! Symphony 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. |
