Meet Calvin! Calvin is a 9 year old male Shih Tzu and he weighs about 14 pounds. He arrived in rescue after coming from a home with too many pups that could not properly care for them all. His foster dad says, "Meet Calvin – A True Gentleman in a Fluffy Coat.Looking for a companion who’s equal parts sweet, polite and heart-meltingly adorable? Say hello to Calvin, a 9-year-old Shih Tzu with a calm spirit and a heart full of love. He is the perfect size for lap cuddles, cozy naps and leisurely walks. Calvin is what we like to call an “easy-to-love teddy bear.” He gets along well with other dogs. |
|
He hasn’t been around children in our care, his gentle demeanor speaks volumes but just use caution. He’s working on his house training. Calvin is well mannered and prefers to be near his human, though he’s not overly clingy. Just loyal, loving and always nearby when you need a friend. Not a big fan of thunderstorms or rain. This sweet boy arrived in rescue through no fault of his own and now he’s ready for a second chance at a forever home. He’s the kind of pup who quietly steals your heart—and might just turn your foster plans into a forever commitment. Calvin is ready to meet his forever family. Could that be you? Apply to adopt today and let this little gentleman bring joy, comfort, and companionship into your life." Calvin 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 $325. |

Meet Danica! Danica is a 3-4 year old female Pomsky and she weighs about 21 pounds. She arrived in rescue after her previous family could no longer care for her. She is a sweet girl who has settled into foster care nicely, but is ready to find a forever family to call her own. Her foster mom says, "Meet Danica – A Gentle Soul Looking for a Patient, Loving Home! Danica is a sweet, shy girl with a heart full of love. She prefers the comfort of a quiet corner where she can safely watch the world go by. While she may be reserved at first, with time and patience, Danica is sure to blossom into the confident, joyful dog we know she can be. Naturally submissive and incredibly gentle, Danica is easy to handle and has a truly kind spirit—she doesn’t have a mean bone in her body. |
|
She enjoys spending time in the backyard and is doing well with her house training, regularly going outside to take care of her business. She is crate trained if needed but doesn’t require a crate while you’re gone. Leash walks are a bit scary for her right now, so a secure, fenced yard is a must. Danica also thrives in the company of other dogs and is happy to share her space with furry friends who want to hang out with her. She would do best in a calm, supportive home with another dog to help her feel more confident and comfortable. I tell everyone that meets Danica, you just have to make her love you. If you’re willing to go at her pace and give her the love she deserves, Danica will reward you with a lifetime of quiet companionship and unconditional love." Danica 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 $400. |

Skylar, a Shih Tzu/Poodle mix |
|
Meet Skylar! Sydney is a 6-8 year old male Shih Tzu/Poodle mix and he weighs about 15 pounds. He arrived in rescue after coming from a home with too many pups that could not properly care for them all. His foster mom says, "Meet Skylar!! Smooth, sweet and full of charm—Skylar is the definition of a good boy.This lover pup gets along effortlessly with dogs of all shapes and sizes and makes fast friends wherever he goes. He’s house trained on a schedule, crate trained and overall a pretty quiet dude who keeps the barking to a minimum. |
|
Skylar enjoys his toys here and there, but he’s really in his element when he’s cozied up next to you on the couch. And if you forget to give him the attention he deserves? He’ll gently remind you with a paw on your arm—classic Skylar move. He’s affectionate without being needy, friendly without being overwhelming and just an all around solid companion. If you’re looking for a cool, easygoing pup to share your days with, Skylar’s your guy!" Skylar is neutered, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative, microchipped and has had his teeth cleaned. He's is fostered in the Orlando area and his adoption donation is $350. |

Meet Blitz! Blitz is a 3 month old male Maltipoo and he weighs about 5 pounds. He is still growing and could be up to 15-20 pounds when full grown. Blitz arrived in rescue when his previous family just was not up for a puppy and all of the challenges of puppyhood. Blitz will need a family that is up for all things puppy - including house training, leash training, continued socialization and all her proper life skills. His foster mom says, "Say hello to Blitz! Blitz is a sweet, spirited little pup with a big voice and an even bigger heart. This young guy is full of energy and curiosity—and he’s got a lot to say about it! From happy barks to adorable “conversations,” Blitz is quite the little talker. (Fair warning: he’s better suited for a home without shared walls, so his vocal talents don’t keep the neighbors up!) |
|
Blitz is on a journey to master all the puppy essentials: leash walking, house training, crate manners, and discovering what not to chew on (sorry, shoes!). With a healthy appetite and a brain eager to learn, he’s ready for a family who’s patient, loving and excited to help him grow into the well behaved companion he’s destined to be. Blitz can often be underfoot, so a home with any one who is a trip and fall hazard (senior humans and small kiddos!) is not a match for him. If you’re looking for a sweet, chatty and playful pup who’ll keep you smiling—and maybe talking back—Blitz is your perfect match!" Blitz 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 $525. |

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 Fonzie! Fonzie is a 1 year old male Yorkie mix and he weighs about 11 pounds. He arrived in rescue after coming from a home with too many pups that could not care for them all properly. He is full of puppy energy and is ready to find a forever family full of energy too! His foster mom says, "Fonzie is a great little dog - super energetic, loya, and affectionate. He will jump on you to show his excitement when he sees you (we are working on this!). He is also a chewer and mouthy on ankles, shoes, fingers, toes, hands, shoe strings, just about anything. Fonzie needs toys to channel that behavior, otherwise everything is fair game! He loves to play to the extreme and is not afraid to challenge even the large dogs. My little ones, my seniors and my cats don't care for his robust behavior. He's not a fan of a crate and will let you know his displeasure. He barks at strangers and new sounds, so no shared walls. |
|
He's a bolter, so be sure your garage door is down before you go out! Fonzie's house trained on a schedule, but I haven't noticed any particular sign to let me know when he needs to go out. He's ok on leash and harness (likes to chew the leash), but his new family will need to continue this training, He likes to roam from food bowl to food bowl, so containment is necessary if other pets are also being fed. He likes to sit in the water bowl to cool off - when we noticed, we got him a pool! He loves to sleep on the bed with us at night. I believe Fonzie would do best with an active family, a playful canine friend of comparable size and temperment and a fenced yard. He loves to run, so several walks a day if your yard is not fenced. He would be fine as an only pet, as long as his high energy needs are addressed. No small children or frail adults, as his enthusiasm could result in a tumble. Due to his small size and energy, I think he would be ok with older, dog savvy kids. He will be a fun and loving addition to his forever home. Could you be the lucky one?" Fonzie is neutered, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative and microchipped. He is fostered in the Flagler Beach area and his adoption donation is $400. |

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. |

Jorge, a Dachshund/Chihuahua/Min Pin mix |
|
Meet Jorge! Jorge is a 2 year old male Dachshund/Chihuahua/Min Pin mix and he weighs about 10 pounds. He arrived in rescue after coming from a house with too many dogs that could not properly care for him. He did not have much socialization but is doing well in foster care and is ready for a forever home to help him continue to be the best pup he can be! His foster mom says, "Sadly, Jorge came from a 'hoard house' and has never learned how to 'dog', so he will require an extremely patient, special owner. He's quite skittish and will need a crate in his new home that we recommend he be permitted to stay inside for his first few days (pee pads for him to wee on and a towel for him to sleep on). He's VERY sweet, not high energy, not aggressive- so loving touches, kind speak will do him nicely while he unwinds with you. He definitely takes time to warm up, but once he does, he is a MEGA LOVER! He is sooo affectionate- he wants to be CLOSE- at least touching you and often ON YOU!!! |
|
He doesn't like open spaces and after two months, still hasn't explored his home, which gives you an idea of just how scaredy this boy is. But he LOVES sofa hang out or lap time- and he wants to sleep in the big bed with you all night. He will require a FULLY fenced, secure yard due to his being so skittish in order to help with his house training. And, he does NOT like harnesses or leashes yet- so, the adopter will need to work with him on this. Jorge is a very smart dog, and with patience, we are confident that he will do well. BUT- he will most likely always be a very skittish dog with strangers coming into the home. Car rides aren't his thing, either. So, this dude is a challenge! But, he is sooo LOVING and if you want a cuddly, sweet, funny dude that you are willing to devote some time and effort towards- Jorge might be your guy!" Jorge 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 Pebbles! Pebbles is a 1-2 year old female Yorkie mix and she weighs about 5 pounds. She arrived in rescue after coming from a home with too many pups that could not properly care for her. She was not super socialized, but is working hard to learn that humans are kind and can be trusted. Her foster mom says, "Meet Pebbles – your diamond in the ruff! This beautiful girl may start out shy, but don’t let that fool you. |
|
Once you earn her trust, she becomes the most loyal, loving little shadow you could ask for! Pebbles is looking for a patient and understanding human who sees the magic in slow beginnings and the beauty in building trust. She’s a playful pup who adores romping around with other dogs and tossing her toys around. Cats, however, are more of a “chase now, apologize never” situation—so a cat free home is ideal. Pebbles is a peaceful soul, not one for barking just to hear herself talk. Her favorite pastime? Cozy, blissful naps on the couch where she can curl up and feel safe. She’s currently working on her pad training and doing her best! If you’re ready to invest a little love and time, Pebbles will repay you with endless affection and the kind of bond that only comes from earning it. She’s not just a pet—she’s a project of the heart." Pebbles 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 $425. |

Meet Loki! Loki is a 5 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.The best thing I can say about Loki is when my parents came to visit, my dad said that if he was looking for a dog, he would want Loki. My parents have been around several of our other foster dogs over the years and never said anything like this before. Loki is a medium energy dog who would play all day with you if you let him. He follows me around the house and always likes to be nearby. If I'm on the recliner or couch, he will sit on or near me. He loves playing tug and fetch, but eventually will go play by himself or lay down and take a nap if I stop entertaining him. He sometimes even falls asleep with a toy in his mouth. He loves attention from people, but doesn't want to share that with any other animals in the house. He could not be in a home with cats, other dogs or any small pets. Loki could be in a home with older, dog savvy children. He would not do well in a house with shared walls, as he barks at most noises.
|
|
He is extra alert to sounds if I'm alone with him in the house. He likes to chase squirrels and lizards, so he has to wear a harness on walks. Loki is pretty much house trained on a schedule of every 3-4 hours and will use a potty pad as a backup. At the end of the day, Loki sleeps in the big bed with us. He has commandeered a pillow as his own and also likes to go under the blankets. He sometimes will cuddle, but only when it's his choice. "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 Raven! Raven is a 2 year old female Shih Tzu and she weighs about 10 pounds. She arrived in rescue when her previous family could no longer care for her. She is a sweet girl who has settled into foster care nicely, but would love a forever family to call her own. Her foster dad said she would like to introduce herself: Hi, my name is Raven. I’m a super sweet and friendly little girl. In my spare time, I like to play with toys, chew on bones and run around the yard with you. I am more of a “free spirit” and do not like being locked in a crate. |
|
If you try it, I will bark and scratch very loudly until you let me out…but that’s just to make sure you do not forget about me. I am great with older kids and other dogs, but my ideal situation would be a home where I am the only dog, so I do not have to compete for attention, food or treats. I will also need a house with no shared walls and someone who can be home with me most of the day would be great! I am house trained but can have an occasional accident if I get too excited. Anyway, if you’re looking for a loving and playful new friend who is full of personality, you should definitely pick me! Raven 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. |
