Meet Mina! Mina is a 4 month old female Maltese/Spaniel mix and she weighs about 9 pounds. She is still a growing puppy and we do expect her to get larger. Mina arrived in rescue after being from an accidental litter. She has been thriving in foster care, but is ready to find a family that is up for all of the puppy challenges, such as leash training, house training, continued socialization and learning what to chew and not chew. Her foster mom says: Mina is a sweet, active and playful pup.
She loves to play and also loves attention and cuddles. She is friendly and curious, always investigating new things before her siblings. Mina is still learning what is ok or not ok to chew on but is well behaved for a puppy. Running in the backyard and then laying in the cool dirt is a favorite pastime. Mina is the perfect mix of sweetness and fun! Mina is spayed, up to date on vaccines, on flea and heartworm prevention and microchipped.

Jackie, a Chinese Crested Powderpuff
Meet Jackie! Jackie is a 5-7 year old female Chinese Crested Powderpuff and she weighs about 10 pounds. She arrived in rescue from a home with too many pups that could not properly care for her. Jackie did have a bladder stone that needed to be removed and she will need a special food. She has settled into foster care and her foster mom says: Jackie came to us very, very scared, but she has learned to trust her foster family. She is improving with her foster mom, but in a new environment it may take weeks for her to learn to trust you. With patience and attention, she should get better. She lives for treats and may come and sit beside you if you carry some in your pockets. She loves to be petted once she is comfortable with you. However, sudden movements will scare her. When she is scared, she will take off without looking where she's going so an inground pool area is not safe for her. She also will do best in a home with no children, not a lot of people coming and going. She has learned to walk on a leash wearing a harness.
Jackie is very much like a puppy and loves to run and play with toys. She listens well if you speak to her when you really want her attention. She loves to dress up in doggy clothes.and loves to sleep late in the morning in her humans bed. She is house trained and she just may need time to know where she's expected to go. This sweet girl loves her fur foster brother so another dog should be fine. She is very nervous around children. She runs very fast and will need a fenced yard area to be safe. If you are up to the challenge and are willing to give her 4 to 6 weeks of love and patience, she will come around. She knows there is the right person out there for her! Jackie 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.

Meet Olaf! Olaf is a 4 year old male Poodle and he weighs about 11 pounds. He arrived in rescue when his previous family could no longer care for him. Olaf has settled into foster care and is ready to find a forever family to call his own! His foster mom says: Meet Olaf, a sweet and loyal companion with a shy demeanor. Olaf thrives on gentle affection and enjoys quiet moments with caring humans. When he is approached for pets he will duck his head but doesn't run away. After a soft touch, he will melt into your hand for more attention or he doesn't mind being picked up and held.
His loyalty is unmatched, making him a devoted friend to those he bonds with but would do best as the only dog in the home. He prefers a quiet, laid back home where he can receive all the love and attention he desires. Olaf can be playful at times and enjoys running around the backyard at lightning speed while we just smile at his joy!

He has settled into foster care but is looking for a forever family that will be up for all things puppy, like leash training, house training and continued socialization, and that will work with him using positive reinforcement. His foster mom says: Marlow is a curious, confident puppy with an independent streak and a love for adventure. He’s not a big snuggler just yet, but he shows his affection in his own way—by sticking close on walks and eagerly exploring the world by your side.
Marlow walks well on a leash and truly enjoys getting out to see and smell everything around him. He’s also a great little watchdog in the making and will happily alert you when strangers are around, making him a wonderful companion for someone who appreciates a pup that’s attentive and aware. Marlow would do best with a family that respects his independence, enjoys walks and outdoor time, and is excited to help him continue building confidence and trust at his own pace.

Harlow, a Goldendoodle
Meet Harlow! Harlow is a 5 month old female Goldendoodle and she weighs about 25 pounds. She is still a growing puppy and we do expect her to get larger and she could be as much as 50-60 pounds when full grown, as she is not a "mini". Harlow arrived in rescue when she was "too much puppy" and her previous family was not up for all things puppy. She has been thriving in foster care, but is ready to find a family that is up for all of the puppy challenges, such as leash training, house training, continued socialization and learning what to chew and not chew. Her foster mom says: Harlow is a friendly girl with a playful spirit and boundless energy that lights up any room.
She is also very smart and a quick learner, always eager to please. She would make a fantastic companion for an active family looking for a fun-loving and engaging friend. Harlow likes to nibble on you to get your attention so her forever family will need to continue working with her. She is learning but sometimes her puppy exuberance takes over and she forgets her manners. Harlow loves other dogs and will play with all dogs big or small. Harlow 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.
Leo, a Maltese mix
Meet Leo! Leo is a 1 year old male Maltese mix and he weighs about 8 pounds. Leo arrived in rescue after coming from a puppy mill in a rural area during winter. He has settled into foster care nicely and has been loving learning how to "dog". His foster mom says: Leo is very nervous around people, but he settled in quickly at his foster home. Once he has warmed up to someone, he wants to be right by them on the couch or in the bed. He dislikes being confined and fusses and barks in a crate or pen, but when he’s home alone and has the run of the house, he just snoozes on the couch until the people come back. Leo has joyful puppy energy! He regularly gets the zoomies, and he lives for going on (fast!) walks. He’s fanatical about toys and great at entertaining himself, but he’s still learning what is okay to chew on. He uses potty pads, and we’re working on transitioning that to the outdoors with lots of walks. He’ll go out as often as you offer.
His love of exploring means he’s ready to run every time a door is opened, and any yard must be secure. Unfortunately, he isn’t a good road trip buddy: he gets carsick. He’s scared of big dogs but likes calm small dogs and might enjoy a friend—but he does love being the one and only. Because he is skittish, and also a bit wild and mouthy when playing, he is most suited to a home with only older children. Leo is usually quiet but sometimes barks when he hears unfamiliar noises or gets excited. He has done well in a quiet apartment building, but not as well in a home with a ground-floor window where he could see (and comment on) everything that was happening outside. Leo would thrive in a patient home where he can explore the world at his own pace and continue to build his confidence. Leo 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 $475.
Marcus, a Maltese/Spaniel mix
Meet Marcus! Marcus is a 4 month old male Maltese/Spaniel mix and he weighs about 13 pounds. He is still a growing puppy and we do expect him to get larger. Marcus arrived in rescue after being from an accidental litter. He has been thriving in foster care, but is ready to find a family that is up for all of the puppy challenges, such as leash training, house training, continued socialization and learning what to chew and not chew. His foster mom says: Marcus is a sweet and laid back guy who can be a little shy at times.
He will often watch the antics of his foster friends from the sidelines before joining in. Once he gets warmed up though, watch out. He can run and rough house with the best of them. Marcus loves human attention and can often be found laying at his foster mom's feet just to be close. He is a good boy who tries hard to please in order to get some much sought after attention. Marcus 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.
Jax, a Chihuahua mix
Meet Jax! Jax is a 3 year old male Chihuahua mix and he weighs about 8 pounds. He arrived in rescue when his previous family could no longer care for him. His foster mom says: Jax is an adorable, sweet natured, gentle boy. BUT his 'OFF button' doesn't work so well! He has TONS of energy, is absolutely hilarious and will keep you laughing- but absolutely needs a doggie playmate who will give him a run for his money! While he is submissive in nature, he is quite assertive in his urge for playtime. That includes ANYTHING alive in the home with legs, even cats.
He will not harm them, but he'll be a pest, so ONLY dog savvy cats. Jax has only been observed with small animals, but we think that he would likely be fine with playful large dogs too, as long as they're conscious of their size, since he's small. Jax is mostly very good about doing his business outside but needs to be taken out often (every couple of hours). He is also still working on leash walks, doing pretty good. Being in his crate is OK with him and he won't cry or whine, but he really likes to sleep in the big bed at night. As long as he's been worn out with play, he will sleep the whole night without issue, as a great cuddler! He's not a big barker except when you first come home, other dogs bark, or a noise outside. If you want a high energy pup who will make you laugh, a LOT, Jax is your guy!!! Jax is neutered, up to date on vaccines, heatrworm negative, microchipped and has had his teeth cleaned. He is fostered in the Orlando area and his adoption donation is $450.
Blizzard, a Shih Tzu mix
Meet Blizzard! Blizzard is a 3 month old male Shih Tzu mix and he weighs about 5 pounds, but he could grow up to weigh over 10 pounds. With his mix, it’s hard to say! His foster mom says: Blizzard is a confident little Shih Tzu mix who knows exactly what he wants, and isn’t shy about telling you!
This feisty guy is the boss of his litter, full of personality and definitely keeps everyone on their toes.Blizzard is a talker and will let you know his thoughts, whether it’s playtime, snacks, or just getting your attention. But underneath all that confidence, he’s full of love and charm for the right family who can match his spirited personality. He’s a small dog with a big attitude, plenty of personality, and lots of character. Blizzard is neutered, up to date on vaccines, on flea and heartworm prevention and microchipped. Heis fostered in the Orlando area and his adoption donation is $500.
Orville, a Mixed Breed
Meet Orville! Orville is a 6 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 a loving foster home and are thriving. A forever family will need to be up for all things puppy - including housetraining, leash training, learning what is ok to chew and not chew, as well as continued socialization. This litter is very sweet, but very energetic. They would do well with furfriends of similar energy levels, senior pups will be highly annoyed. They would also do well with dog savvy kiddos. An active home is a must - they have lots of energy!! Orville is neutered, up to date on vaccines, on flea and heartworm prevention and microchipped. Orville is fostered in the Orlando area and his adoption donation is $450.
Elsa, a Great Pryenees
Meet Elsa! Elsa is a 3 month old female Great Pyrenees and she weighs about 23 pounds, but she could grow up to weigh over 70 pounds. She arrived in rescue after being part of an accidental litter. She has been in a loving foster home since she was 8 weeks old. 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. Great Pyrenees are very smart and very active and need a family that will understand this, as well as their grooming needs. Her foster mom says: Elsa is a beautiful Great Pyrenees with a heart as big as her fluffy frame.
This sweet, calm and happy girl brings a peaceful kind of joy wherever she goes. And when she wags her tail, get ready! It’s not just a tail wag—it’s a full body celebration that can turn into an adorable wiggle-slide across the floor if she’s lying down. It’s impossible not to smile around her. Elsa truly loves people and has a wonderfully steady, easygoing nature. Loud noises? No big deal. Thunderstorms and vacuums don’t faze her, making her a comforting, reliable presence in the home. She also enjoys spending time outdoors, soaking in the fresh air and just being part of the world around her. Whether she’s lounging nearby or happily greeting you with her signature wag, Elsa is the kind of dog who makes a house feel like home. Elsa is spayed, up to date on vaccines, microchipped and on flea and heartworm prevention. She is fostered in the Orlando area and her adoption donation is $525.
Flip, a Chihuahua mix
IMPORTANT NOTE: Due to Flip's participation in a special program, he must be adopted to the Orlando area only. This is not negotiable and we appreciate your understanding.
Meet Flip! Flip is a 3 month old male Chihuahua mix and he weighs about 4 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 $500.
Henry, a Shih Tzu/Poodle mix
Meet Henry! Henry is a 3 year old male Shih Tzu/Poodle mix and he weighs about 10 pounds. Henry arrived in rescue after coming from a puppy mill in a rural area during winter. He arrived heartworm positive, but has been treated and is doing great! He has settled into foster care nicely and has been loving learning how to "dog". His foster mom says Henry would like to introduce himself: Hi there, I’m Henry. I’m a bit of a wallflower at first, but once I know I’m safe, my sweet side truly starts to shine. I’ve spent some time learning that the world isn’t such a scary place, and I’m looking for a special person to help me continue that journey. I am a gold-star student when it comes to house training!
I take great pride in keeping my space tidy when I’m being let out on a schedule. While I’m not quite ready for high-energy walks just yet—leashes still feel a little overwhelming for me—I am perfectly content lounging in a quiet, sun-drenched spot or exploring a secure backyard at my own pace.
I’m a "slow burn" kind of friend. I take extra time to settle in and might hide or stay quiet while I learn the sounds of a new home. I get nervous around loud noises or fast movements, so I’m looking for a calm environment where I can blossom without any pressure to be the "life of the party" right away. I’d love a quiet, low-traffic household (a fenced-in yard is a huge plus while we work on my leash confidence!). Patient humans who understand that "good things come to those who wait." I’d do best in a home without small, high-energy children. Once I trust you, I will be your most loyal companion. There’s nothing quite like the feeling of a timid dog finally choosing to rest their head on your lap for the first time. Henry is neutered, up to date on vaccines, on flea and heartworm prevention, microchipped and has had his teeth cleaned! He is fostered in the Orlando area and his adoption donation is $400.
Steffie, a Poodle mix
Meet Steffie! Steffie is a 7 year old female Poodle mix and she weighs about 12 pounds. She arrived in rescue after coming from a puppy mill in a rural area during winter. She arrived heart worm positive, but has undergone treatment and is doing great! She has settled into foster care nicely and has been loving learning how to "dog". Her foster dad says she would like to introduce herself:
Hi, my name is Steffie. I’m a very sweet and friendly little girl. However, I am extremely shy and scared at first until I get comfortable with you.
I am also scared of sudden movements and loud noises, so it is ideal for me to have a “safe space” where I can go and hide. Once I’m settled and feel safe, I have a laid back and “chill” personality. I love to nap, run around outside and play but I’m not a big fan of toys. I sleep well through the night and am potty trained, but an occasional accident could happen. I would prefer a home with no young children or other animals (unless they are smaller than me) and a human who can be home with me most of the day would be ideal. So if you are looking for a gentle, loyal and loving best friend, you should definitely pick me! Steffie is spayed, up to date on vaccines, on flea and heart worm prevention, microchipped and has had her teeth cleaned! Sheis fostered in the Orlando area and her adoption donation is $375.

He is a very playful pup who loves his toys. He gets along great with our cat and we think our cat actually enjoys him! Outdoor potty training is a work in progress, but he is catching on to how that whole thing works.
We have an aluminum fence with pickets and he quickly figured out that it was a game to escape through the fence. A more secure fenced yard will be a must for him. He is learning to walk on a leash, and is doing great! He has not been a big barker, but he will bark when his human is out of sight. He settles down quickly, but no shared walls would be best for him. He has been around other dogs of his size or smaller and loves to play with dog friends.

Miso will politely (and adorably) bark an alert to remind you to come back. He’s a natural little communicator and very people‑oriented.
This cuddly boy loves snuggles and will happily become your shadow if you let him. Whether you’re on the couch or moving around the house, Miso is happiest when he’s close to his person.
