Timmy, a Yorkie

Hi Friends! I’m Timmy and welcome to my TimmyTalk!

Hello again Friends! I am very excited to join you for another TimmyTalk and this will be one of my favorites because it’s all about ME! That’s right, this is my TimmyTalk where I begin my search for my forever family! I have some VERY specific requirements and there will be NO exceptions. I am a very special little pup with special needs. I will be honest upfront: If you submit an application for me and do not meet the qualifications because you did not pay full attention to my TimmyTalk, it will be ignored. I know I am going to be a very popular pup, obviously, and the humans here already have their hands full with me and the other pups so they do not have the extra time to teach my friends out there reading comprehension. All my friends are super smart, so certainly you got this. By now all of you, my friends, should know me. I’m Timmy! I am a 1 year old Yorkie. I identify as a neutered male and I weigh about 7 pounds, depending on the time of day and if the humans have properly served my meals. When I arrived here in rescue, I was very sick. It took a lot of testing a great medical team, but the amazing team at UF sorted out that I had a rare type of liver shunt and some extra veins connecting to it. It took almost 6 months of special medications, special diets and a LOT of me training the humans in order to get me healthy enough for my liver shunt surgery. My surgery was a success and I am feeling AMAZING! I now get to live like a normal puppy and do all the fun puppy things that I couldn’t before. However, I do have a special diet (just a certain kibble, non prescription) that I do well on and will need to stay on. I can’t have ANY human food (I have filed grievances with the doctors but they say it could kill me and I kinda like living so….) and my treats must be strictly regulated. For a lot of my life, the food I ate had to be strictly measured as well as what it became when I was done with it in order to make sure my liver was doing OK.

Because of all of this, my housetraining is a work in progress. I do really well with a consistent schedule, but any variations and welp, it throws me off. I am trying hard, but I will need my humans to try hard too and be very patient with me. NO negative reinforcement! I don’t like it and I won’t stand for it and I will be VERY vocal about it. Speaking about vocal, I do like to talk. I mean, I give TimmyTalks regularly, so a home with no shared walls is a must. I don’t need the neighbors getting all upset if I need to have a talk at 2pm and they are on a WiFi zoom or trying to watch General Hospital. Also, please know I do NOT enjoy tiny humans and do not want them in my forever home. I also do not wish to be treated like a tiny human with clothes put on me, I do not find it cute. I do however enjoy regular grooming by a professional. I would ideally like an active family - maybe with some older young humans (teenagers I believe they are called?) As I previously let you know, I am neutered, all my vaccines are current, I am heartworm negative and microchipped. My new family will be responsible for making sure I don't eat things I am not supposed to so that I don't go into liver failure, so please take this into careful consideration before you apply for me. I already have a lawyer retained should you fail to follow through on this so that I can go back to the humans who will make sure I am cared for. They have worked really hard to keep me alive and get me healthy. Honestly, if my forever family had previous experience with liver shunts, that would be incredible, but as long as you are understanding of all my requirements, and want to love me forever, I can work with that. My TimmyTalks are pretty informative and I am happy to teach you!

From Timmy's Human, an update: Timmy has learned that he loves playing with other dogs and going for walks on the leash. He enjoys the beach, but is not a big fan when the water tries to "chase" him. He has a great appetite and if he does not get his food (just his kibble!) in a timely manner he will let you know. He has come so far with learning how to dog. He likes to play tug of war with the other dogs and is learning to play with dog toys instead of shoes. He also likes to be picked up and cuddled on when his humans are on the couch.He has even learned to ask to be picked up. He barks at his humans when we leave the house and when we return. He is also vocal when he hears a loud noise. Timmy enjoys napping in his bed in the afternoon and in his crate at night. He is potty pad trained, but does have a tendency to mistake a bath mat as a pad.

I am fostered in the Orlando area and my adoption donation is $500.

Willie, a Chihuahua mix

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 housetrained 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." 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.

Rosie, a Labradoodle

Please note Rosie is not fully hypoallergenic - she does shed some!

Meet Rosie! Rosie is a 4 1/2 month old female Labradoodle and she weighs about 25 pounds. She is still a puppy and growing, which means she could grow to be larger than 50 pounds. We just want her new family to be prepared for however big she may get! Rosie arrived in rescue when her litter was surrendered. She's been doing great in foster care, but is ready for a forever family to call her own - but that family must be ready for all things puppy including leash training, housetraining, continued socialization and learning what is OK to chew and what isn't. Her foster mom says, "Rosie is all puppy - eat, play hard, sleep on a lounger in the sun! She has had little human interaction and is therefore quite hesitant when approached. She is starting to trust a little more every day, but don't expect instant bonding. Her new family needs to be aware she has not been trained so she has no doggie skills. Since she doesn't walk on a leash, she'll need to be taught with positive reinforcement, a fenced yard and a harness.

She is not completely crate trained but will go in slowly with a treat. Rosie barks occasionally, so no shared walls. She loves to run in the yard and play with the other dogs of similar size and enthusiasm. She seems ok with dog-savvy cats. She's teething and needs puppy toys to channel that behavior, otherwise, everything is fair game! She seems to be housetrained on a schedule, but I haven't seen any specific indication of when she needs to go out. I feel she would do best with an active, patient and experienced family, a playful canine friend of comparable size and a fenced yard. No small children or frail adults, as her energy and puppy incoordination may result in a tumble. Although she is not there yet, I believe she has the personality of a velcro dog, looking for someone to love and be loved in return. Could that be you?!" Rosie is spayed, up to date on vaccines, on flea and heartworm prevention and microchipped. She is fostered in the Flagler Beach area and her adoption donation is $450.

Copper, a Goldendoodle

Please note Copper is not hypoallergenic - he does shed!

Meet Copper! Copper is a 4.5 month old male Goldendoodle and he weighs about 24 pounds. He is still a puppy and growing, which means he could grow to be larger than 50 pounds We just want his new family to be prepared for however big he may get! Copper arrived in rescue when his litter was surrendered. He's been doing great in foster care, but is ready for a forever family to call his own - but that family must be ready for all things puppy - including leash training, housetraining, continued socialization and learning what is OK to chew and what isn't. His foster dad says, "Copper is an energetic and playful pup. However, he is extremely shy of humans and backs away and runs if approached. He's slowly becoming more confident and his new family will need to respect this behavior and go slowly. He barks at strangers and new sounds, so no shared walls. He does not go into a crate willingly and must be carried or enticed, but we are working on that. He seems to be housetrained on a schedule, but I haven't noticed any particular sign to let me know when he needs to go out.

He doesn't walk on a leash and his new family will need to train with positive reinforcement and a harness. He loves to run in the yard and play with my other dogs of similar size and enthusiasm. Copper ignores my small dogs but he's ok with dog-savvy cats. He is teething and likes his puppy toys. Beware he has no discretion about the definition of appropriate chewable and will munch on anything available. He would likely do best with an active, very patient and experiened family, a playful canine friend of comparable size and fenced yard, No small children or frail adults, as his energy and puppy incoordination may result in a tumble. Share your home with Copper and help him express all the love and fun he has to offer!" Copper is neutered, up to date on vaccines, on flea and heartworm prevention and microchipped. He is fostered in the Flager Beach area, and his adoption donation is $450.

Mimi, Goldendoodle

Please note Mimi is not fully hypoallergenic - she does shed some!

Meet Mimi! Mimi is a 5 1/2 month old female goldendoodle and she weighs about 20 pounds. Mimi is still a puppy and growing, which means she could grow to be larger than 50 pounds, and we just want her new family to be prepared for however big she may get! Mimi arrived in rescue when her litter was surrendered. She's been doing great in foster care, but is ready for a forever family to call her own - but that family must be ready for all things puppy - including leash training, house training, continued socialization and learning what is OK to chew and what isn't. Her foster dad says: Mimi is a typical puppy however, she was not well socialized, but is coming out of her shell.

As a result, she is shy around humans and will run when approached. Also, she has not been trained in any skills.Her new family needs to be prepared to take on the challenge! Since she doesn't walk well on a leash (a fenced yard is a MUST) and will need to be trained with positive reinforcement and possibly a harness. She does bark occasionally, so no shared walls. Mimi is crate trained but will go in slowly with a treat. She loves to run in the yard and play with the other dogs of similar size and enthusiasm. She has been around dogs of all sizes and ages. She has not been around cats. She is teething and loves her toys. Mimi has had a few accidents inside so not completely housetrained. She needs an active, patient and loving family, a playful canine friend of comparable size and a fenced yard would be inice. She is energetic so no small children or frail adults. She is looking for someone to help her complete puppyhood and develop into a wonderful companion as an adult. Mimi will be a fun and loving addition to a forever home.

Maddie, a Shih Tzu mix

Meet Maddie! Maddie is a 4 month old female Shih Tzu puppy and she weighs about 5 pounds. She is still a growing puppy and we are unsure how big she will eventually be. Maddie arrived at animal services with her mom and littermates as part of a confiscation case and then was transferred to rescue ahead of the hurricane. She has settled into foster care nicely and is ready for a forever family
to call her own - one that is fully up for everything puppy including house training, leash training and what to chew and not chew. Since she loves to be underfoot and also jump, a senior home would not be a good match for her. Her foster mom says, "Maddie may be tiny but she is feisty! She can play rough with the bigger dogs one minute and be
curled up in a dog bed with one the next.

She loves being a lap dog and will sit on your lap for as long as you let her. She doesn’t want to share the lap and will politely growl at any dog who would dare to try. When Maddie gets excited she hops and twirls around like a ballerina. She is a very happy, friendly and playful puppy. She can be a little nervous when first meeting strangers but warms up quickly. Maddie has done excellent with learning to use piddle pads or going outside to potty. A leash is still a scary thing but she knows to only chew on puppy approved items. She would love to find a home that will treat her like the princess she thinks she is!" Maddie is spayed, on flea and heartworm prevention, up to date on vaccines and
microchipped. She is fostered in the Orlando area and her adoption donation is $500.

Rocko, a Pekingese/Shih Tzu mix

Meet Rocko! Rocko is a 6-7 year old male Pekingese/Shih Tzu mix and he weighs about 17 pounds. He arrived in rescue when his previous human could no longer care for him. Rocko was very nervous about all the changes in his life, but has settled into foster care, and is looking for a very specific home. His foster mom says, "Rocko likes his “space”. For this reason, I do not recommend a home with children, another dog, or lots of activity with people coming over. His ideal forever home would be with someone looking for the companionship of a loyal pup, without cuddling. He does not like you near his face. Rocko gets anxious when being left alone or if he can’t see you. He’s better with being left alone for short periods once he learns your schedule and he’s been with you for a while, at least a few weeks. It took him awhile to open up and start letting his personality shine through, but with patience he will reward you with lots of love, tail wags and companionship.

Once he begins to open up and trust you, you’ll see that he’s a special little guy filled with lots of love to give! Rocko is really sweet and quiet and is not a “in your face” type of dog. He is housetrained on a schedule and only barks when someone comes over. He likes to go for walks, but is very particular about other dogs on walks, best to not have him interact. Rocko really likes to play “fetch” with toys and chase after sprays and streams from a water hose. He is the first pup I’ve fostered that is not a “foodie”. I am currently feeding him Science Diet, with just a little water to moisten it. He is not food possessive and doesn’t seem to care for treats. Rocko gets a little nervous when he hears thunder and lightning, but as long as he can see you and be in the same room, he’s ok. He prefers to sleep on the floor rather than in a pet bed but will sometimes jump up on the couch or recliner. He's not a dog that likes to cuddle, but he loves belly rubs and back massages once he trusts you. You must give him time. He is a good guard dog but doesn’t bark too much. Rocko is looking for a specific home that will understand him and give him space." He is neutered, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative, microchipped and has had his teeth cleaned. Rocko is fostered in the Orlando area and his adoption donation is $250.

Raisin, a Labradoodle

Meet Raisin! Raisin is a 7 year old female Labradoodle, and she weighs about 30 pounds. She arrived in rescue when her previous family could no longer care for her. She has settled into foster care nicely, but would love a forever family to call her own. Her foster mom says, "Raisin is such a sweet girl! Very people driven, she can take a minute to warm up to you, but once she does, she is your bestie. She just wants to be with you and get lots of love. She is dog selective and would likely do best as an only dog. She is housetrained on a schedule, but to a fenced yard.

Raisin will not potty while on a leash, so a fenced yard is a must for her. She rides OK in the car, but can be nervous on longer trips. She has been around older, dog savvy kids and has done great. She would do best without younger ones, just because of her initial nervousness. She pulls some and will occasionally jump up, so senior humans would not be an ideal fit for her either. Raisin likes to snuggle and will try and sneak up on to the bed if you let her:) She is a sweet, loving pup ready for a family to call her own!" Raisin 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 $350.

Olaf, a Maltese mix

Meet Olaf! Olaf is a five year old male Maltese mix and he weighs about 10 pounds. He arrived in rescue when his previous family could no longer care for him. He has settled into rescue, but would love a forever family to call his own. His foster mom says, "Meet Olaf! He is a wonderful little guy with a big heart! He is playful and very sweet. He loves just hanging out with his foster family but is always up for wrestling or a game of tug-of-war! Olaf is fully crate trained and working on being housetrained. He's getting better all the time and is learning to ask when he needs to go outside. Still a few accidents but overall, he is doing well.

He'll need to be on a regular schedule. He walks nicely on a leash but gets nervous and barks when he sees other dogs or people when walking. We are working on that too. A very busy neighborhood or an apartment complex would not be the best. No shared walls either. Olaf is friendly and likes to meet new people. He is nervous at first but warms up to everyone when he becomes more comfortable. He is looking for someone to love!" Olaf 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 $300.

China, a Chihuahua mix

Meet China! China is a 3-4 month old female Chihuahua mix and she weighs about 6 pounds. She is still growing and she should stay under 20 pounds full grown but we can not guarantee that. China arrived in rescue after living in a house with way too many dogs that resulted in them all being taken to animal services. She has settled into foster care nicely and is ready to find a forever home to call her own. Her foster mom says she would like to introduce herself: Hey! Hey, my name is China and I’m looking for my new best friend and forever family. I wanted to tell you a little about myself to see if we are a match made in heaven. I was born with limited vision (don’t feel sorry for me because I do not let this hold me back). I have no problems running around the house because I am able to see some. Being that I’m still a puppy and carefree, I run around the house and backyard as if someone left the gate open.

I love exploring! When I’m not napping or playing with toys I like to follow my humans around and playing a game of "can I catch your ankle in my mouth because your shoes look like toys to me". You see I’m still all puppy and have some learning to do per my foster mama. I’m not a big barker and typically only join in with the choir when my foster fur friends start singing. I'm super lovable, sweet and like to cuddle with my people. I’ve also decided that the big human bed is a cozy place to sleep. My foster mom did not allow me on the big bed but I found the steps leading up to it and have learned how to use them all by myself so I sneak up there when it’s bedtime. I love everyone I meet whether human or furry! I’m working on my housetraining and my foster mom says I’m doing great but I still have a few accidents. When my foster mom puts me in my x-pen (when she leaves the house) she says I’m such a good girl because I don’t have any accidents when in it. I tend to be a little nervous when I’m picked up but I’m getting more comfortable with it as the days go by. I'm not quite sure yet what that harness/leash thing is however with a little work I will be great walking with one in no time. Oh one last thing, I love to give kisses and require lots of toys please ! China 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 $300.

Junior, a Yorkie/Schnauzer/Terrier mix

Meet Junior! Junior is a 2 year old male Yorkie/Schnauzer/Terrier/ton of cuteness mix and he weighs about 12 pounds. He arrived in rescue as a stay at animal services where no one came for him and he was very scared. He has settled into foster care nicely and is ready for a forever home to call his own! His foster mom says, "Junior is a sweet, high energy puppy with all the curiosity that entails! He is learning all his puppy skills including housetraining but still has accidents, so patience and a schedule are key. Junior is able to jump up on furniture and a closed toilet if something intrigues him.

He wants to be where you are and will voice his displeasure if you’re home and have abandoned him in a different room, so no shared walls (apartments/townhomes). That being said, he settles down quickly and is content to find a comfy spot and play with a toy. And boy does he love toys!! Junior gets along well my dogs but thinks the cat is evil and will chase her at every opportunity. He sleeps very well at night, preferring to be in the bed with you, but also happy in a crate if you so choose. He is extremely eager to please, wickedly smart and would make a great new family member." Junior is neutered, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative and microchipped. He is fostered in the Orlando area and his adoption donation is $325.

Jazz, a Maltipoo

Meet Jazz! Jazz is a 12 year old female Maltipoo and she weighs about 8 pounds. She arrived at animal control after being adopted and then picked up as a stray and her previous family didn't want her. She was scared and arrived in rescue, where she has settled into foster care nicely, but would love a family to call her very own. Her foster mom says she would like to introduce herself:
Hi, I'm Jazz! I'm a good girl who is looking for her furever family.

I love my person and would love to be a pampered only princess or have a non-alpha sibling. I enjoy treats, snuggling in bed or on the couch with my foster mommy, and exploring the back yard so a fenced in yard would be ideal. After exploring, I love to plop down in the grass and enjoy the sun's rays. I pawmise I am working hard on my housetraining. I need to go outside frequently, I'm not really a fan of potty pads. I haven't been around children, so I don't know how I feel about them. If you want a best friend, I'm your girl!" Jazz is spayed, up to date on vaccine, heartworm negative, microchipped and has had her teeth cleaned! She is fostered in the Orlando area and her adoption donation is $225.

Carlo, a Chihuahua mix

Meet Carlo! Carlo is a 3-4 month old male Chihuahua mix and he weighs about 6 pounds. He is still a growing puppy and he should stay under 20 pounds when full grown. Carlo arrived in rescue after a short stay at animal services when he was removed from a home with way too many pups. He has been raised in a loving foster home and his foster dad says he would like to introduce himself: Hi, my name is Carlo. I’m a big baby, very friendly, cute and sweet little boy and LOVE attention.

However, I am extremely shy and scared at first until I get comfortable with you. I LOVE to cuddle and be close to my humans. I also enjoy toys and playing with my litter mates. I’d love another young fur friend to play with but would also do ok as the only dog in the home as long as you are home a lot and give me lots of attention. I will need a family who is willing to help me learn all things puppy related (housetraining, leash walking, crate training, etc.) Are you up for the puppy challenge? If so, then you should definitely pick me! Carlo 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 $350.

Jet, a Yorkie/Schnauzer mix

Meet Jet! Jet is a 1-2 year old male Yorkie/Schnauzer-y mix and he weighs about 10 pounds. He arrived in rescue after being taken to animal services as a stray with no one coming to claim him. He has settled into foster care nicely and is ready to find a forever home to call his own. His foster mom says, "My nickname for Jet is "Wild Man". He is very high energy and is always on the go. He can escape any enclosure, so a crate is the the best and only means of confinement. He can climb and jump very high. Jet isn't a fan of the crate when placed in there and will bark. He has a very loud bark, so no shared walls please. He is not fully housetrained yet and he likes to "mark" his territory, so he wears a belly band in the house for now.

He is still a puppy at heart and chews on things. He loves to run and run around in the fenced yard.Need a lizard catcher-Jet's your guy! They have no chance when Jet is chasing them! He is still new to walking on a leash and harness and will need patience and time as he learns them. He likes other dogs his size and isn't sure about cats. He loves and prefers to get all the attention. He's also very sweet and loves his cuddle time, especially at night. He is a funny little guy with a great personality," Jet is neutered, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative and microchipped. He is fostered in the Orlando area and his adoption donation is $350.

Curly, a Chihuahua mix

Meet Curly! Curly is a 3-4 month old male Chihuahua mix and he weighs about 6 pounds. He is still a growing puppy and he should stay under 20 pounds when full grown. Curly arrived in rescue after a short stay at animal services when he was removed from a home with way too many pups. He has been raised in a loving foster home and his foster dad says he would like to introduce himself: Hi, my name is Curly.

I got my name because of the unique shape of my tail and although I might be the runt of the litter, I’m FULL of personality. My foster dad says I’m very curious and brave but that’s just cuz I ain’t afraid of nuttin! I’m a typical little boy….I love to play with my litter mates and toys, run and take naps. I’d love another young fur friend to play with but would also do ok as the only dog in the home. I will need a family who is willing to help me learn all things puppy related (housetraining, leash walking, crate training, etc.) Are you up for the puppy challenge? If so, then you should definitely pick me! Curly 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 $350.

Aero, a Chihuahua mix

Meet Aero! Aero is a 9-10 month old male Chihuahua mix and he weighs about 4 pounds. He arrived in rescue after being taken to animal services from a home with way too many dogs. He has settled into foster care and has been working hard on learning how to "dog". His foster mom says, "Ever wanted a miniature fox? Aero's got you covered! Ok, fine, so he’s not a mini fox but he is the cutest little fox look alike ever! And much like a sly fox he’s got some stealthy skills. He can scale an x-pen with ease if he chooses. Areo is still very much a puppy and likes to pick up and chew on things he shouldn’t both inside and outside so a watchful eye is a must! He arrived with little to no training so he will need a home where his family is willing to teach him using positive reinforcement only! Aero isn't housetrained. Nervous on a harness/leash but with practice he should get it quickly (a fenced in yard is strongly preferred). He is timid when meeting new people and in new surroundings.

If you are looking for a tiny pup to take with you everywhere- he is NOT it! He will need time to trust his new people and build his confidence. Aero came in with other pups that he gets along great with however new fur friends make him nervous so will need to do slow intros until he is comfortable if there are other pups in the home. Aero loves playing with his toys and exploring the yard (MUST be supervised). He is not a big licker but will stop by to give a few kisses before heading back off to explore. He also enjoys hanging on the couch with you for some tv time. Due to him being so nervous I would not recommend him in a home with younger children. Aero is not overly barky however he will join in when the other pups start." He is neutered, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative and microchipped. Aero is fostered in the Orlando area and his adoption donation is $400.

Colby, a Chihuahua mix

Meet Colby! Colby is an 8 year old male Chihuahua mix and he weighs about 6 pounds. He arrived in rescue after being taken to animal services from a home with way too many dogs. He has settled into foster care and has been working hard on learning how to "dog". His foster mom says, "Colby is just the sweetest little man!! He takes just a few moments to warm up to you and once he does he is your new BFF. His favorite thing to do is snuggle up with you. He is ALWAYS down for a good belly scratch. In fact he kinda demands it! Remember that game Trust Fall?

Welp, that’s Colby’s favorite game to play. When you sit down he will jump in your lap and literally turn around and fall into your arms so make sure you have your catch arm ready! He loves to shower you with kisses as well. Colby came in with other dogs that he gets along great with however new fur friends make him nervous the first few days in his new surroundings. Colby MUST have a fenced in yard (NO EXCEPTIONS). He doesn't walk on harness/leash (they scare him). He is not 100% housetrained but we are working hard on this. Colby will need someone with a watchful eye because he can be an escape artist when first arriving to his new home if given the opportunity. If you are looking for a little lap dog that also has a playful side then sweet Colby is your guy!" He is neutered, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative, has had his teeth cleaned and is microchipped. Colby is fostered in the Orlando area and his adoption donation is $300.

Dips, a Yorkie

Meet Dips! Dips is an 8 year old male Yorkie and he weighs about 7 pounds. He arrived in rescue when his previous family could no longer care for him. He was very much loved and is looking for a forever family to continue to love and spoil him. His foster mom says, "Dips is a sweet little boy! Shy at first, but once he warms up to you, he is your bestie! All Dips wants is to be the center of your world. He gets along fine with our pups, but really has no interest in playing or engaging with them and would rather be with the humans.

When he feels like you are not giving him the attention he needs, he will just sit and stare at you until you give him affection. He is housetrained on a schedule, but he will use a pad if you don't get him out in time. He's small, so he goes out often. He does OK on a leash and rides well in the car, but he isn't really a "go everywhere" pup, as he's unsure of lots of strangers approaching him. Dips can be vocal, but only when he feels he is being ignored, or at first when he is left alone, so no shared walls please (no apartments or townhomes). He does great with older children (teenagers). He easily gets underfoot and can be wiggly, so no small kiddos or senior humans please. Dips is a special little pup looking for a special home to call his own!" He is neutered, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative, microchipped and has had his teeth cleaned! Dips is fostered in the Orlando area and his adoption donation is $300.

Ernie, a Bichon/Poodle mix

Meet Ernie! Ernie is a 1-2 year old male Bichon/Poodle mix and he weighs about 15 pounds. He arrived at animal services scared and a matted mess. He has had a haircut and is feeling much better as it grows back in and he has really started to blossom and come out of his shell. His foster mom says, "Ernie has the energy of a lighting bolt but the face of teddy bear! He loves to play and boy is he good at it! He is looking for a forever family with other dogs around his size and age that are up for a game of tug a war and sprint around the yard. His perfect home would of course have dogs but also humans that were around as much as possible. He will bark when he is being leftbut he is just making sure you know he wants to go also, so he needs a home with no shared walls. And what’s better than to get all your energy out and then snuggle with your humans! Ernie is also up for car rides as being with his humans means a lot to him and being in your bed at the end of the night is much preferred to his crate. Since he is so young, he still has some puppy behavior that his foster family is working on with him.

Playful biting and jumping has gotten better but not gone away (a home with no small kiddos and no senior humans is needed). His forever family will have to continue to redirect his biting to a toy and to ignore him when he jumps. Also another reason why dogs around his size will be great to show him the way to adulthood. This pup loves toys but he will make anything a toy so watch what you leave out. He is great both on leash and in the yard, which he would love to get all his energy out. He is doing well with housetraining, just a few accidents, but he must be kept on a strict schedule. He is currently in a house with two cats who have (much to their dismay) become his best friends! He has a sensitive stomach and is doing well on a salmon/grain free kibble. He is a love, could you be his forever love?" Ernie 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.

Jackson, a Spaniel mix

Meet Jackson! Jackson is an 8 year old Spaniel mix and he currently weighs about 40 pounds. He was recently diagnosed with a thyroid condition that he easily takes 1 inexpensive pill for daily. As the medication starts to work, some of his extra pounds should be coming off as well. Jackson arrived in foster care after his previous family, who loved him dearly, could no longer care for him. He is ready to find a forever home to call his own with humans to love and spoil him. His foster mom says, "Jackson is a wonderful dog - calm, quiet, and affectionate. He was quite shy the first few days but then quickly warmed up, He wants to be petted and gently seeks attention. He likes to wander in the fenced yard and gets along with the other dogs of all sizes and energy levels. Jackson's not interested in the cats, so felines in the house are not a problem. He is housetrained on a schedule and walks well on a leash.

He would do well with a laid back, peaceful family. No little tykes here, but I think he would be fine with dog savvy, gentle older children. Jackson is an older dog looking for someone to love and be loved in return. He would be the perfect addition to his perfect home. Could you be the lucky one?" Jackson is neutered, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative, microchipped and has had his teeth cleaned. He is fostered in the Flagler Beach area and his adoption donation is $275.

Loki, a Puggle mix

Meet Loki! Loki is a 2 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. Loki plays with his foster brother constantly and likes to wrestle so he would need a dog about his size or bigger to play with. Tug is one of his favorite games and he likes it when the humans play too.

He is working on housetraining 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 does not like to cuddle. He currently sleeps on a dog bed in the primary bathroom and is pretty good with sleeping through the night. I think Loki would like a house with another dog to play with, but 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 $300.
