Churro, a Pomeranian

Meet Churro! Churro is a 5-6 month old male Pomeranian and he weighs about 10 pounds. He is still growing, so we can not predict his adult weight. Churro arrived in rescue when his owner could no longer care of him and all his puppy energy - which if you have ever had a Pom, you know can be exuberant. Churro's foster mom says, "This active, playful guy is always on the move and ready for adventure! Churro loves being outside—he’d happily spend hours exploring the yard with you, chasing leaves or just soaking in the sunshine. Water? He’s a fan. Whether it’s splashing in his water bowl or lounging in a puddle, Churro knows how to keep cool and have a good time.

He’s also got a bit of a reflective side—literally! You’ll often catch him staring at his reflection in the fireplace glass or sliding doors like he’s deep in thought (or just admiring how cute he is). Churro is full of personality and charm, and he’s looking for a family who will embrace all the silly, sweet moments that come with raising a puppy. Active, curious and full of life—Churro’s ready to find his forever home!" Churro 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 $450.

Henri, a Standard Poodle

Meet Henri! Henri is a 5-6 month old male Standard Poodle and he currently weighs about 20 pounds. He is still very much a growing boy and could end up at over 50 pound, so his new family will need to be prepared for that. Henri arrived in rescue when his previous family just wasn't up for all things puppy. His new forever family will need to be prepared with patience and positive reinforcement for all the things that come along with puppyhood: leash training, house training, continued socialization and learning what is ok to chew and that shoes are not on that list, lol! His foster mom says, "Henri is a big, bouncy bundle of joy with a goofy personality that will keep you smiling!

He absolutely lives for playtime—bounding up to the other dogs in the yard, hoping someone’s ready to chase or wrestle. He’s social, energetic and always down for some fun. Henri is doing really well with house training and loves getting attention from his people. He’s still learning puppy manners and might give a few playful nibbles when he’s excited, but he’s eager to learn and just wants to be part of the action. He’s all-in on puppy life—crate training, leash walking, house training and learning what’s a toy (and what’s not). Henri is looking for a home that will embrace his big heart, big bounce and big potential. If you’re ready for a silly, snuggly, active pup to grow with—Henri’s your guy!" Henri 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.

Loki, a Puggle mix

Hi there, I’m Loki! And yes... I live up to my name. I’m a 5 year old, 25 pound Puggle mix with a big personality and a soft spot for people who love to play. I came into rescue when my previous family couldn’t take care of me anymore, but I’ve been hanging out in a super comfy foster home while I wait for my forever humans to find me. My foster mom says I’m the kind of pup that leaves an impression—her dad even said if he were looking for a dog, I’d be the one! And trust me, he’s met a lot of us foster pups! I’m a medium energy guy, which basically means I’m always ready for fetch or tug-of-war, but I also know how to chill when playtime is over. If you’re busy, I’ll go toss a toy around by myself or curl up for a nap (sometimes with my toy still in my mouth—don’t judge me). I follow my foster mom around the house because I like being near my people. If you sit on the couch or recliner, you better believe I’m climbing up next to you.
Now, about the important stuff:
 I’m house trained (every 3–4 hours is my sweet spot) and will even use a potty pad if I need to.
 I sleep in the big bed with my humans and have claimed a pillow as mine—bonus points if I can snuggle under the covers.
 I love attention—so much so that I don’t want to share it with other animals. No cats, dogs, or tiny pets, please.

 Older, dog-savvy kids? Cool with me.
 Apartments? Probably not the best fit—I bark at strange noises, especially if I’m home alone.
Also, I’m a master squirrel and lizard chaser, so I’ll need to wear a harness on walks to keep me safe and focused (sort of). I'm not perfect, but I promise I’m loyal, loving, and one-of-a-kind. If you’re looking for a loyal buddy who brings fun, cuddles (on my terms), and a dash of mischief into your life—I just might be your guy.
Love, Loki

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.

Carla, a Chihuahua mix

Meet Carla – Your 9-Pound Spark Plug of Love! Looking for a pint-sized pup with Super-sized persona? Meet Carla, a 1–2 yearold Chihuahua mix who’s only about 9 pounds—but don’t let that fool you. This little lady is pure joy in motion! Carla’s story starts off a bit rocky—she and her puppy were found abandoned at animal services. Her puppy has since been adopted and Carla stuck around for a while longer because she needed heartworm treatment. But guess what? She’s completed her treatment like a champ, is off all restrictions and is now fully cleared to begin the next (and best) chapter of her life: finding her forever family! Her foster mom says it best, “Carla is a cute, loving ball of energy! She came to me for crate rest—but clearly, crate rest is not her vibe. She’s got zest for life and moves at one speed: lightning!”

Here’s what else you’ll love about Carla:

House-trained on a schedule

Loves car rides

Friendly with everyone she meets

Ignores the cat like a true lady

Thrives with attention, action, and affection

She’s young, scrappy and ready to soak up all the love she missed out on. Carla would do best with someone who can match her energy, show her patience on the leash and provide the structure she needs to keep blooming. Carla is spayed, up to date on vaccines, on flea and heartworm prevention, microchipped and she’s had a dental cleaning too—she’s the total package! She is fostered in the Orlando area and her adoption donation is $375.

Cassandra, a Pomeranian

Meet Cassandra! Cassandra is a 2 year old female Pomeranian and she weighs about 14 pounds. She arrived in rescue when her previous family was unable to car for her. She has settled into foster care but is ready for a forever family of her own. Her foster mom says; "This beautiful girl is the total package — gentle, sweet and just a little bit silly once she feels at home. Cassandra can be a bit reserved at first, but don’t let that fool you — she’s incredibly easy to handle and doesn’t have a mean bone in her body. With a little patience and kindness, her warm, loving personality starts to shine. She’s house trained (on a schedule) and does great in her crate when kept on a schedule. Cassandra eats her food well, especially with a few dog friendly toppings to make mealtime extra exciting. She gets along wonderfully with dogs of all sizes and truly enjoys the company of her furry friends. There is NO toy she doesn’t like to play with, they are her favorite!

Evenings are Cassandra’s “fun” time— she’s known for her hilarious “drive-by” blanket steals on the couch, which never fails to get a laugh. She’s a pretty chill girl overall and would thrive in a calm home. We think she’d do great with older, respectful kids, but the loud chaos of little ones might not be her vibe. She doesn’t know what the word “stranger” means. She wags her tail so hard for anyone that comes in the door! A SECURE fenced yard is a must for her. She is still very nervous on the leash and will need consistent working with to become more familiar. Please do not expect a warm fuzzy meet with her, it will take 2-3 weeks for her to feel comfortable and you have to “push” it on her to make her feel loved. Regular grooming is going to be required for her, so understand that before applying for her. Cassandra just needs a little time to settle in — once she does, you’ll see a soft, silly and loyal soul who brings so much love into your home." Cassandra is spayed, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative, microchipped and has had her teeth cleaned. is fostered in the Orlando area and her adoption donation is $425.

After being left at animal services, she was scared and confused. But thanks to her loving foster home, she’s learning to trust again—and now she’s ready to be someone’s one and only.

Favorite pastime? Couch snuggles, old sitcoms, and claiming the best blanket.

Ideal lifestyle? Being the only royal pup in a ladies-only castle.

Weakness? Food. Any food. All food

Quirky habit? She tucks herself in under blankets at bedtime. (Yes, really.) Weakness? Food. Any food. All food.

Strangers? She’s cautious at first, but if you’re patient—she’ll be your bestie for life.

Men? Sorry, gentlemen. This diva prefers an all-female fan club.

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.

Alfredo, a Terrier/Maltese

Meet Alfredo! Alfredo is a 3-4 month old male Terrier/Maltese mix and he weighs about 7 pounds. He is still a growing pup and we can not predict his exact weight when he is full grown. Alfredo arrived in foster care after being part of an accidental littler. He is looking for a forever family that is up for all things puppy - house training, leash training, continued socialization and learning that shoes are not for dinner, lol! His foster mom says, "If you’re looking for a cuddly, loving pup who wants to be your little shadow, Alfredo is your guy!This sweetheart gets so excited when you pick him up—he showers you with kisses and nuzzles right into your face like he’s known you forever. Alfredo’s favorite place to snuggle is tucked under your hair, curled around your neck like the softest scarf you’ve ever worn.

He thrives on comfort and closeness, especially when he’s feeling unsure. Like all puppies, Alfredo is a work in progress and will need continued guidance with crate training, house training, leash walking and learning the do’s and don’ts of home life. He does not currently walk on a leash and maybe thinks it might be a bit of torture, lol. He also likes to be very underfoot so a home without senior humans or very young humans would be ideal, as he doesn't want to cause any falls! He’s ready to learn—with love, patience and someone to cuddle up with at the end of the day. If your heart has a soft spot for a sensitive, snuggly pup, Alfredo is ready to fill it!" Alfredo 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 $450.

Jorge, a Dachshund/Chihuahua/Min Pin mix

Meet Jorge — The Sweetest Little Survivor Looking for His Patient Person!Jorge is a 2 year old Dachshund/Chihuahua/Min Pin mix weighing about 10 pounds, with a heart as big as his courage.
His journey hasn’t been easy — coming from a house with too many dogs and not enough love, Jorge is still learning what it means to be a dog and to trust humans. He’s shy and skittish, needing a calm, patient home that understands he’ll take his time to feel safe. His foster mom shares:

“Jorge needs a quiet, loving environment and a crate to help him adjust slowly. He’s not high energy or aggressive—just a gentle soul who wants to be close to you, often on you!

He’s scared of open spaces and new things but LOVES sofa snuggles, lap time, and dreaming away in the big bed next to you.

Jorge isn’t a fan of leashes or car rides yet, so he needs an adopter ready to gently guide him through new experiences.

He’s a challenge, but a loving and loyal one who will reward your patience with endless affection.” If you have a calm heart and a home with a fenced yard ready for a shy but loving companion, Jorge might just be your perfect match. Could you be the patient, kind soul Jorge’s been waiting for? Jorge is neutered, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative, microchipped and has had his teeth cleaned.

Brayley, a Shih Tzu/Pekingese mix

Meet Brayley! Brayley is a 1-2 year old female Shih Tzu/Pekingese mix and she weighs about 10 pounds. She arrived in rescue after coming from a home with too many dogs that could not properly care for them. Her foster dad says she would like to introduce herself! "Hi, my name is Brayley. I’m a super sweet and friendly little girl, but I tend to be skittish at first until I get to know you. Once I’m settled and feel safe, I love to cuddle, run outside and play.

I also love attention from my human and treats! Although I’m not currently a huge fan of toys, I will play with them briefly from time to time. I am crate trained, but I prefer to not be crated alone. A home without shared walls would be best because I will bark when left alone. I get along well with older children and other dogs once I’m comfortable with them. I am house trained (on a schedule) 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!" Brayley 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.

Cosmo, a Pomeranian

Meet Cosmo! Cosmo is a 4-6 year old male Pomeranian and he weighs about 9 pounds. He arrived in rescue after coming from a home with too many pups that could not properly care for him. His foster mom says: Cosmo is a gentle soul with a tender heart. He can be a bit wary of new people and needs some time to warm up—but once he trusts you, you’ll see his playful and loving side shine through. Despite his shyness, Cosmo doesn’t have a mean bone in his body and is easily handled with kindness and patience. He gets along well with other dogs and would likely enjoy the companionship of a calm, confident pup.

While he’s not walking on a leash just yet, he’s working on it—and with continued patience and positive reinforcement, he’ll get there. Because of this, a fenced yard is required to help him feel safe as he builds his confidence. If you’re the kind of person who understands that the best relationships take time, Cosmo might just be your perfect match." Cosmo 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.

Cheddar, a Corgi

Meet Cheddar! Cheddar is a 5-7 year old male Corgi and he weighs about 25 pounds. He arrived in rescue when his previous family could no longer care for him. His foster mom says: Meet Cheddar! Or as he’s known around here: Cheddar Cheese, Grilled Cheese, Cheddarella…the nickname game changes daily and he’s here for it. In true corgi fashion, Cheddar is a friend to all and a fan of his people. He doesn’t know a stranger, just potential new besties. This low-riding loaf is the perfect blend of sweet, sassy and a little salty (just like his namesake). Cheddar is making great strides with house training—as long as he’s on a schedule and given a little time to settle in. Give him that and he’ll be golden. He slays his walks in a harness and loves his neighborhood strolls. A fenced yard? Meh. He’s more into the sights, smells and sniffs of the great suburban sidewalk.

When he’s not strutting his stuff, he’s launching into a game of “get my feet” (zoomies included) or flopping dramatically on the couch like the seasoned nap king he is—just give him a lift up, please and thank you.Cheddar gets along great with other friendly dogs and is a chill companion—he’s not huge on toys but give him a good chew bone and he’s a happy camper. He’s crate trained like a champ, but he’d much rather snooze near his people. Fair warning: he doesn’t skip meals and he’s got that classic Corgi “mouthy” streak—so Corgi-savvy adopters are encouraged! Due to his spice and confidence, Cheddar would do best in a home with dog-savvy older kids and humans who appreciate a dog with a little personality. He’s quirky, cuddly, and totally loveable. Could Cheddar be your forever cheese? Cheddar 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 $400.

Boots, a Maltese/Schnauzer mix

Meet Boots! Boots is a 1 year old male Maltese/Schnauzer mix and he weighs about 6 pounds. He arrived in rescue when his previous family could no longer care for him. His foster mom says: Meet Boots – A Big Personality in a Little Package! Boots is a lively and playful puppy who loves nothing more than chasing other pups and playing with toys. His joyful energy is contagious and he’s sure to bring a smile to your face with his puppy antics. He’s still learning about the world and can be wary of strangers and new experiences, which often leads to barking. Once he feels safe and knows his surroundings, his barking settles—but he’s still a vocal pup, so a home without shared walls is best. Boots is working on his table manners and showing great progress every day.

He can be a bit food aggressive, so mealtimes should be managed with care and consistency. With patience and positive reinforcement, he’s learning fast! Once Boots decides you’re his person, he’s all in. He loves to cuddle, stay close and will even shake his leg when you hit the perfect belly rub spot. He may be shy at first, but once he trusts you, he’ll be your most loyal and affectionate companion. Boots is looking for a loving, patient home that understands his need for a gentle introduction to the world. If you’re ready to help this sweet pup grow into his best self, Boots is ready to meet you! Boots is neutered, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative and microchipped. He is fostered in the Orlando area and his adoption donation is $425.

Daisy, a Bichon/Shih Tzu/Poodle mix

Meet Daisy! Daisy is a 4-5 year old female Bichon/Shih Tzu/Poodle mix and she weighs about 10 pounds. She arrived in rescue when her previous family could no longer care for her. Her foster mom says: Daisy is a sweet, spirited girl who absolutely adores her human. She has bursts of playful energy, especially in the mornings when she gets the zoomies, but also enjoys her nap times. Daisy loves to be held, cuddled and spoiled with toys, blankets and cozy dog beds. She’s still learning her manners and sometimes playfully nips at fingers or hands, but with consistency, she’s making progress. Daisy does well with other dogs, but her bossy personality and high energy play style can be a bit much for most.

She’d probably thrive as the only dog in the home, where she can have all the attention to herself. She may also be food-aggressive if another dog gets too close to her human during mealtime. We’re not sure how she does with cats. She is house trained on a schedule and sleeps in her crate at night. Daisy also walks well on a leash. She would be the perfect companion for someone who wants a loving, playful and loyal best friend. Daisy 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.

Marley, a Chihuahua/Yorkie mix

Meet Marley! Marley is a 8-10 month old male Chihuahua/Yorkie mix puppy and he weighs about 8 pounds. Marley is still a puppy and growing, so he could still gain some more weight, but we have no way to predict his actual adult weight. Marley arrived in foster care after coming from a home with too many pups that could not properly care for him. His foster mom says: Meet Marley – The Long-Legged Lovebug with a Heart Full of Snuggles! Marley is a playful pup with legs made for leaping! Whether he's trying to jump over obstacles or just get closer to his favorite human, Marley’s joyful energy is always on display. His favorite things include belly rubs, snuggles and being by your side. At night, Marley may bark a bit when you leave the room, but he quickly settles down.

During the day, he’s more alert and will bark at unfamiliar movements or strangers near the house (so no shared walls please!). With just a few days in a loving home, Marley has already learned many of the household sounds and his barking has decreased significantly. He’s still warming up to new people, but once he trusts you, Marley becomes a loyal and affectionate companion. He’s working hard on his leash training and is learning that the leash means outdoor adventures—he’s improving every day! Marley 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 $425.

Rosalie, a Boston Terrier

Meet Rosalie! Rosalie is a 3 year old female Boston Terrier and she weighs about 15 pounds. Rosalie arrived in rescue when her previous family could no longer care for her. Her foster dad says: Rosalie is a sweet and affectionate girl. If you are laying down with a blanket, she will come up and paw her way under to lay with you. She will poke her head out and give you the look of comfort and love while she rests peacefully. She loves to sleep with us on the bed, which we have allowed but will willingly enter her crate when you need to leave. She gets very excited when you mention “go out” or “walk”, even doing a little dance and spin routine for you. She takes to the leash happily and excitedly walks at the end of the leash, even pulling you along a bit. She gets excited about trying to chase the lizards and squirrels but cannot catch them with us slow pokes along.

When we pass others, she will ignore some and act like she sees her besties with others and excitedly tries to go greet them. We are a couple living in a condo and I think we bore her some and she would love a little more activity. She is 100% house trained and lets you know when she is ready to go. Please know that some accidents in a new home as she settles in are to be expected though! She knows the command “sit” and will do so for a treat, but does not wait patiently for that treat and loves to jump up and grab it but does so gently. Rosalie 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.
