Meet Six or Mr. Six as his foster parents refer to him. Six is the runt of the mastiff litter and was separated from his mom and the rest of the litter at 3 just days old when he sustained a cut to his back that required stitches. Six was bottle fed for the first five weeks of his life so he's extremely bonded to the people, shih-tzu's and cats that helped raise him. Six is very submissive to little dogs and a bit intimidated by big dogs. He doesn't know he's going to be 100+ pounds yet so he thinks he's a lap dog. Six is extremely sensitive, affectionate and eager to please. He's also very charming, loves to play and chew on toys and chew-sticks. This gentle giant is a very sweet boy who requires a home that embraces his sensitive and playful heart. Six is neutered, up to date on vaccines, on heartworm prevention and microchipped!

Ebony is a 10 yr. old, 8 lb. little cutie. She came to rescue when her mom went over the Rainbow Bridge and no one else wanted her.

She could barely walk and was in tremendous pain. Rescue was able to get her the surgery needed to resolve her issues. She is now happy and pain free. As you can see she loves soft squeaky toys and will play with them for hours. What she really enjoys the most is being with people. Whether watching TV in your lap or sitting on the patio in this wonderful Florida weather. She will make someone a wonderful companion and friend. Don't let her age stop you, she's full of spunk and energy. Please give her a chance. She still has a lot of love to give!

|
|
| Chauncey is one year old, 12 pound male shih/terrier mix boy! His foster mom says: "This adorable little boy is Chauncey. As you can see, he is a very sweet and loving boy. He was helping me clean house and found the "love of his life". He gives her kisses on the nose and watches over her so no one will bother her. He wouldn't go to bed until I moved her into the bed with him. He then surrounded her with all his favorite toys curled up and went to sleep. After he goes out to potty, he immediately runs back in to check on her. He came to us in a confiscation case from a breeder. He was underweight with skin issues due to flea infestation. He is now on his way to a happy and healthy life thanks to LDR. He also enjoys playing with his friend Kelso, who also came from the same breeder. He has a lot of love to give and will make some lucky person a wonderful companion."

Meet Alvin and Simon, an adorable pair of shih tzus. They arrived in foster care together, and both are about 2 years old and 11-12 pounds. Alvin is the handsome black boy and simon is the adorable brown one! Their foster mom says: "Anyway, as far as descriptions, the two are inseparable, and if by some miracle they can go together, awesome. But individually: Alvin is perfectly housetrained, super sweet and loves to be held. He never barks, even when our dogs are barking at something. He has lots of energy, but not what you'd consider hyper. He's great on a leash, and gets along perfectly fine with our dogs and cat. He's quite demanding at treat time and will push his way to the front of the pack. But he also understands "no", and responds to it. He also knows when it's "quiet time". Simon is also housetrained and loves attention and affection. He barks occasionally when the other dogs do, but not often. Simon is somewhat needy, but in a good way. Good on a leash, gets along just fine with our dogs and cat. He understands what "no" means and is attentive to commands. When he goes out in the yard, he comes right back when called. And his underbite is just too cute!" Alvin and Simon are neutered, heartworm negative, up to date on vaccines, and microchipped!

The excitement when I come home, I didn't think a little dog could jump so high. They are great dogs, potty trained when on a schedule, otherwise they do use a pad. | |
They (Maddy especially) love to run and chase squirrels. These girls need a yard to romp around in! They do bark when they see people and dogs,(condo not a great place for them) but it is only because they want to meet everyone!! They curl up next to me when its nap time, they love a good nap.

She will flip over for a belly rub to anyone available for the task. Her foster mom says: "I do not know if she has ever seen cats before, and is rather interested, however she is playful and friendly.

She is very calm and relaxed, but also loves to play. She is very good about getting a bath, and loves to drink the running water! | |
| She is excellent with small children, she wasn't fazed when my two year old grandson pulled her tail and stumbled around her. She comes running whenever you make kissy noises. She is housetrained, and does not chew anything. She does have allergies, but regular bathing, flea control, a grain free diet and minimal medication keep her comfortable and non-itchy. She is generally quiet, but will growl and or bark appropriately when someone arrives at the door. She growls when she is playing, but plays very gently, and she will whine if she needs to go outside." Total sweetheart, has a licker that won't quit!
