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)
Pearl, a Corgi
Meet Pearl! Pearl is a 2 year old female Corgi and she weighs about 22 pounds. She arrived in rescue after being surrendered from a home with to many dogs that could not care for them. She arrived heartworm positive, but has been treated and is doing great! She has settled into foster care and is starting to thrive and is ready for a forever home. Her foster mom says: Sometimes a dog comes along who doesn’t need a lot. She doesn’t need a house full of people. She doesn’t need a million toys. She doesn’t need constant entertainment. She just needs her person. Pearl is the kind of girl who quietly works her way into your heart until you can’t imagine the room without her in it. She is sweet, loving, incredibly easygoing and absolutely devoted to her people. She is a fabulous family dog who loves everyone she meets. But Pearl has a little bit of a “you’re MY person” personality- she can become protective of her people around other dogs, which is why we truly believe she would shine brightest as the only dog in her forever home. She wants to be the dog who curls up next to you on the couch under a blanket. The dog who follows you around the house just to be near you. The dog who lays beside your desk while you work. The dog who looks up at you with those eyes that somehow say, “I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be.”Pearl is also 1000000% crate trained. Open the crate, say “Come on,” and she happily hops right in. No fuss. She walks beautifully on a leash and harness and loves her neighborhood walks. If you have a screened in porch to chill with her on she would love it as sun bathing is top priority on her list.
He isn’t a big barker, but she will absolutely let you know when someone comes through the door with a little “woof.” And when she decides she needs some attention? She’ll dramatically flop onto her back for belly rubs. Because obviously. Then there are her “good morning stretchies.” Every morning, Pearl stretches herself out and makes the sweetest little sound — what I lovingly call her coo. It’s one of those tiny, everyday Pearl things that you don’t realize you’re going to miss until you can’t imagine your morning without it. She is happiest with the simple things. A soft blanket. A cozy couch. A good bone. Her person nearby. I work from home, and Pearl has been the sweetest little office companion. She curls up on the dog bed beside my desk and peacefully snoozes while I work. She doesn’t need to be the center of attention every second. She just wants to know her person is there.
Pearl eats her food well and is now enjoying being out of her crate full-time after completing her heartworm treatment. Watching her settle in, relax and simply enjoy being a dog has been so incredibly rewarding. And now comes the hard part. Because Pearl is ready. She is ready to leave her foster home and find the person who will look at her and know she’s the one for them. She deserves a forever family who will love her little morning stretchies. Who will laugh when she flops over for belly rubs. Who will tuck her under a blanket on the couch. Who will take her for neighborhood walks. Who will appreciate that she doesn’t need much — just love, companionship, and a safe place to call home. Pearl has spent enough time waiting. Now she needs someone to choose her. Could you be Pearl’s forever? Because somewhere out there is the person she has been waiting for. And I have a feeling Pearl is going to love them with her whole heart. Pearl is spayed, up to date on vaccines, on flea and heartworm prevention, microchipped and has had her teeth cleaned. She is fostered in the Orlando area and her adoption donation is $400.
Grover, an Aussiedoodle
Meet Grover! Grover is a 4 month old male Aussiedoodle puppy and he weighs about 12 pounds. He is still growing and could be over 30 pounds when he is full grown, but we are unable to predict his adult weight. Grover arrived in rescue after being part of an accidental litter. He has been in a loving foster home and is thriving. He is an active puppy that will need a family up for all things puppyhood brings - leash training, house training, socialization and learning that flip flops are for feet, not food. Doodles are very smart and very active and need a family that will understand this, as well as their grooming needs. His foster family says he has been so much fun to have as a foster puppy.
His foster mom says: Grover is a fun-loving, energetic puppy who is ready to take on the world! He’s playful, affectionate, curious and absolutely convinced that life is one giant adventure. Grover is a puppy through and through, which means his forever family should be prepared for zoomies, puppy antics, training, chewing, learning and lots of love! He’ll need continued work on house training, crate training, leash walking, basic commands, and all those important puppy manners. In return, you’ll get a goofy little companion who will keep you smiling and give you plenty of puppy kisses along the way. Grover is ready to grow, learn, and love his way into his forever home! Grover 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.
Rosita, a Chihuahua
Meet Rosita! Rosita is a 1-2year old female Chihuahua and she weighs about 5 pounds. She arrived in rescue after her previous home could no longer care for her. Her foster mom says: Rosita is timid when you first meet her, but once she feels safe and comfortable in her surroundings, her playful personality begins to emerge. New experiences make her nervous and she can be a little skittish. Loud noises do startle her. Once she gains confidence in her new home, she loves playing with toys and having fun with her furry friends. She's pretty good at lounging on the couch as well. She does well with other dogs around her size, although she may need a week or so to feel comfortable and become friends. Having another confident, friendly dog in the home may help her build confidence and feel more secure.
On rare occasions, she can be a little protective of her space or her person, but she responds well to a quick correction and moves on. She loves her meal and snack time. Rosita sleeps in the human bed underneath the blankets and will snuggle as close to you as possible. She is not yet fully house trained, but we are actively working with her and making progress. Because she is timid, she would do best in a home without young children. Dog-savvy children ages 13 and older should be ok. Rosita does not walk on a leash and will absolutely need a secure fenced in yard!! Rosita is a sweet girl who is ready to find her family. She is looking for someone who will give her the time, patience, and reassurance she needs to feel safe. Rosita may take a little time to warm up, but she is absolutely worth the wait. Rosita 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.
Emmett, a Poodle
Meet Emmett! Emmett is a 3 year old male Poodle and he weighs about 8 pounds. He arrived in rescue when his previous family could no longer care for him. He has settled into his foster home but he would love a forever family to call his own. His foster mom says: Meet Your New Best Friend! If you're looking for a loyal companion who will love you with his whole heart, this sweet boy may be the perfect match. He has a big personality and isn't shy about sharing his opinions! He's a talkative little guy with a loud bark, so he'll do best in a home without shared walls, such as a house rather than an apartment or condo. He is incredibly affectionate and devoted to his person. He loves being by your side and will happily follow you from room to room. Because he has separation anxiety, he's looking for a home where someone is around most of the day. His happiest place is wherever you are. He's fully house trained and enjoys sleeping either in bed with his person or in his own dog bed. He loves toys, enjoys playing fetch and is always ready for a fun game. During the day, you'll often find him soaking up the sunshine with a nice sunbath.
He has an upbeat, happy personality and is highly food motivated, making treats a great way to reinforce training.He needs to be the only pet in the home. While he may be fine around other dogs in some situations, he can become protective of his person and his food, which can lead to snakiness toward other dogs. For everyone's safety and happiness, he will thrive best as your one and only furry companion. Emmett has mild luxating patellas, but they are non-painful and do not require surgery, but it is something that his new family should be aware of and his activity (such as jumping up and down off furniture) should be monitored. If you're looking for a loving, loyal shadow who will be your constant companion, this special boy is ready to give you all the love he has. Emmett 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 $425.
Sammy, a Poodle
Meet Sammy! Sammy is a 7 month old male Poodle and he weighs about 4 pounds. He is still growing, so he could still gain a few pounds. Sammy arrived in rescue when his previous family could no longer care for him. His previous family did not realize he had vision issues and that explained a lot of the issues they were having. Sammy is blind and would love a family that has experience with vision challenged pups to call his own. He has settled into his foster home but he would love a forever family to call his own. His foster mom says: Sammy is very sweet and is an expert cuddler. He also loves to play (he's a puppy!) and will keep you busy!
As he is blind, Sammy will require a household able to provide him stable and safe space.A family experienced with blind dogs would be amazing. In addition, due to his size and condition, his new family would not have children under 12 years old. Besides being blind, Sammy has bilateral luxating patellas. Because of his age, surgical correction is neither recommended or required at this time. However, his adopter would need to be aware that depending on how he grows and adapts, it could be necessary in the future. Sammy is 80% house trained. He does not need to go out overnight. During the day, he goes out on a leash to potty every few hours. As far as walking on a leash, he is still a puppy and a "work in progress" in that department. He does better when he goes out using his harness (rather than a collar) and a leash. He would probably benefit from some formal leash/behavior training. All-in-all, he's a great pup. He compensates well for his visual disability using his other senses. He is very sweet, and friendly with cats and other small dogs. Sammy is neutered, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative and microchipped. He is fostered in the Orlando area and his adoption donation is $450.
Orville, a Mixed Breed
Meet Orville! Orville is a 9 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 loving foster home and are thriving. A forever family will need to be up for all things puppy - including house training, leash training, learning what is ok to chew and not chew, as well as continued socialization.They would also do well with dog savvy kiddos. His foster mom says: Orville is a sweet, goofy, and playful boy. Although he is a unique mix, the basset characteristics seem to dominate his personality.
He is good natured and affectionate but also stubborn and independent, making a challenging companion to train. A forever family will need to be up for all things puppy, including house training (the biggest hurdle), leash training (working on it), and what is ok to chew (working on that too). He can be mouthy around hands and he loves to tear up everything, including pidde pads and piddle towels. He is very vocal (loud) and will bark at strange noises and sights, so no shared walls. Since his leash training and house training are still in progress, a fenced yard is a must. He is not a high energy athlete and has a low activity requirement, prefering to lounge around both inside and out. He gets along with my other dogs and cats and I believe he would do well with gentle, dog-savvy, older children. He likes to jump on people to get their attention, so no little tykes or frail adults. If you're up for the challenge, welcome Orville into your home. With love, patience, and consistency, guide him through puppyhood and watch him develop into a devoted and loyal companion. Orville is neutered, up to date on vaccines, on flea and heartworm prevention and microchipped. He is fostered in the Flagler Beach area and his adoption donation is $350.
Flip, a Chihuahua mix
Meet Flip! Flip is an 8 month old male Chihuahua mix and he weighs about 9 pounds. He should stay under 15 pounds full grown, but we can't be sure of adult weight. Flip arrived in rescue as a tiny puppy with a family that could not properly care for him. He settled in to his foster home nicely and has been thriving. Flip will need a family up for all things puppy - including house training, leash training, continued socialization, and learning that flip flops are for feet, not food.
His foster mom says: Flip: small in size, big in personality! Flip is your classic chihuahua with a whole lot of charm packed into a tiny body. He’s got that signature “spicy” streak (especially when other puppies get a little too in his business), but don’t let that fool you—this little guy loves to play and have fun on his own terms. When he’s not busy being the boss of the toy pile (seriously, he LOVES his toys), Flip is all about the snuggles. His favorite place? Right next to his humans, soaking up all the love and attention he can get. Flip is the perfect mix of sass and sweetness—he’ll make you laugh, keep you on your toes, and then curl up beside you like your tiniest, most loyal shadow. Flip is neutered, up to date on vaccines, on flea and heart worm prevention and microchipped. He is fostered in the Orlando area and his adoption donation is $450.
Courtney, an Aussiedoodle
Meet Courtney! Courtney is a 4 month old female Aussiedoodle puppy and he weighs about 12 pounds. She is still growing and could be over 30 pounds when she is full grown, but we are unable to predict her adult weight. Courtney arrived in rescue after being part of an accidental litter. She has been in a loving foster home and is thriving. She is an active puppy that will need a family up for all things puppyhood brings - leash training, house training, socialization and learning that flip flops are for feet, not food. Doodles are very smart and very active and need a family that will understand this, as well as their grooming needs. Her foster family says she has been so much fun to have as a foster puppy.
Her foster mom says: Meet Courtney! Courtney is a sweet, silly little pup who is ready to find her forever family! She is full of puppy energy, curiosity, and love and she’s always up for whatever adventure comes her way. Like any young puppy, Courtney is still learning all about this big world! She’ll need her forever family to be patient and committed to house training, crate training, leash training, basic manners, and all the other important puppy lessons. She’s going to need plenty of playtime, exercise, structure, and—of course—lots and lots of cuddles! If you’re looking for a fun-loving puppy who will keep you laughing and fill your home with love, Courtney might just be your girl! Courtney 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 $525.
Caleb, a Corgi
Meet Caleb! Caleb is a 3 year old male Corgi and he weighs about 20 pounds. He arrived in rescue after coming from a home with too many pups that could no longer care for him. He has settled into foster care nicely and his foster mom says: Caleb's a pretty laid-back guy. He is mostly a couch potato but watch out for when he gets the zoomies, he can be pretty fast! He enjoys finding cool places to lay down and, in the evenings, likes to hang out on the couch. He hasn't barked once in my care. He gets along great with the other female dog in the household. We're working on the commands sit and stay. We're also teaching him the proper places to mark; he's a little marker.
Caleb should be in an enclosed yard with no space to squeeze under or through the fence.He hasn't gotten out, but he's pretty smart and tries to find spaces. He is doing pretty well with leash walking, a little more practice is all that is needed. He does excellent with grooming and sits still to be brushed. Caleb doesn't seem to be food or toy oriented although he will occasionally play with a rope and a Kong. Caleb won't willingly go into his crate but is perfectly behaved once inside. He is crated at night, but no doubt would love to be near a human. Caleb 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 $525.
