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)
Gwen, a Corgi
Meet Gwen! Gwen is a 6 year old female Corgi and she weighs about 23 pounds. She arrived in rescue after coming from a home with too many pups that could no longer care for her. She has settled into foster care nicely and her foster dad said she would like to introduce herself! "Hi, my name is Gwen. I’m a super sweet and very friendly little girl, but I tend to be skittish at first until I get to know you. I get along well with people, older children and other dogs once I’m comfortable with them. I do not walk on a leash, so a fenced yard is a must for me. Although I’m not currently a huge fan of toys, I will play with them briefly from time to time. I am working on my crate training and sleep well through the night, but I prefer to be free to roam. Someone who can be home with me most of the day would be my ideal companion.
If you are looking for a gentle, loyal and loving best friend, you should definitely pick me!" Gwen 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 $475.I am working on my crate training and sleep well through the night, but I prefer to be free to roam.

Avery, a Corgi
Meet Avery! Avery is a 5-7 year old female Corgi and she weighs about 23 pounds. She arrived in rescue after coming from a home with too many pups that could no longer care for her. She has settled into foster care nicely and her foster dad said she would like to introduce herself! "Herrrrrro, my name is Avery. I’m a super sweet and friendly little girl. I have a laid back and “chill” personality and I’m not a big fan of toys, but I love attention from my human and playing with other dogs!
As a herding breed, I love to run and romp. Although I like attention and being close to my humans,I am not a lap dog...I prefer to sit next to you while you rub/pet me, very very typical for a corgi. I am crate and housetrained (on a schedule) and get along great with older kids and other dogs. I am not a fan of the leash, so a fenced yard is a must for me! Oh, and fun fact about me….I have heterochromia. So if you’re looking for a gentle, loyal and loving new family member, you should definitely pick me!" Avery 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 $475.
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. She has settled into foster care and her foster mom says: She came to us very scared of people. 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 does love 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, someone who is home more than gone and a very secured fenced yard.
She 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 is as fast a greyhound, so a secured fenced yard is what she needs right now. She is house broken; she just may need time to know where she's expected to go. She is learning to walk on a leash but with a secure harness is best, she's still a bit timid, so practice the leash walking in the fenced yard. She is mostly quiet, not a big barker. She does sleep through the night. She loves her foster fur brother so another dog should be fine. 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 $450.
Bandit, a Pekingese
Meet Bandit! Bandit is a 1 year old male Pekingese and he weighs about 13 pounds. He arrived in rescue when his previous family could no longer care for him. He has settled into foster care and is ready to find his forever home. His foster mom says: He is a sweet, cuddly boy who loves being close to his people. Toys and belly rubs are two of his favorite things, and he’s already house trained (on a schedule) and comfortable walking on a leash. He also gets the zoomies and loves to sprint around when he’s feeling playful. At night, he sleeps in a crate, though he would much rather curl up in bed with you if given the chance. He doesn’t bark much, but you may hear a quick alert if someone comes to the door.
He can be protective of his person and has some food guarding with other dogs, though this is improving with training and consistency. He generally does well with other dogs as long as they respect his space, but he should be the only dog in his forever home. He will give a warning growl if he feels uncomfortable around other pups, but he may escalate if another dog tries to take his food or challenges his bond with his human. His reaction to cats is still unknown, so slow introductions would be important. Bandit is neutered, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative and microchipped. He is fostered in the Orlando area and his adoption donation is $500.
Bonnie, a Rat Terrier/Chihuahua mix
Meet Bonnie! Bonnie is a 4 month old Rat Terrier/Chihuahua/something really freaking cute mix and she currently weighs about 8 pounds. She is still growing and we are unable to predict her adult weight as we do not really know anything about her parents. If you need a pup to stay under a certain size, please know Bonnie is not the girl for you. Bonnie arrived in rescue after arriving at animal services and being really small with an upper respiratory infection. She has recovered well and thrived in her foster home and is ready to find a family to call her own!
Her new family needs to be prepared for all things puppy, including house training, leash training,
learning what to chew and not chew and continued socialization. Her foster mom says: Bonnie is an energetic and playful pup. She enjoys running outside and playing with the other pups in her foster home. She does not like to share her food with other dogs so she would do best as the only dog in the home. Bonnie would love an active home where she could get all the attention and her people are up for all things puppy. Bonnie is spayed, up to date on vaccines, on flea and heat worm prevention and microchipped. She is fostered in the Orlando area and her adoption donation is $450.
Mel, a Maltese mix
Meet Mr. Mel! Mel is 10 year old male Maltese mix and weighs about 9 pounds. He arrived in foster care when his previous family could no longer care for him. His foster mom says: Mel is ready to find his forever home and start telling everyone how he likes things. Mel is ambivalent about the cats in his foster home and hangs out nicely with the canine friends. He adores the outdoors and he loves the couch, both get a lot of attention from him daily. Mel is crate trained, but needs treats to smooth the way. He will walk on a leash but truly loves exploring in the yard. He is on a schedule for outside and will use a wee pad. He is a great silent alarm for early morning as he will stand on you to get you to take him out.
Mel is tiny guy so a home with no small children is best. He has excellent hearing and will alert if there is wind, rain, raccoons on the roof or noise from neighbors yard. Mel is the most food motivated dog on the planet. He does barge into other pups bowls for their food so meal time is absolutely a monitored event. We are working on food manners. Mel is the chill dog personified. He follows his foster Mom to make sure all is well and generally settles wherever he can keep an eye on her. He is a sweet trusting little guy just waiting sort of patiently for the next snack/meal/ dropped crumb. Mel is neutered, heartworm negative, up to date on vaccines, microchipped and has had his teeth cleaned. He is fostered in Orlando and his adoption donation is $375.
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.
Dog descriptions lovingly crafted by TheDigitalWildflower.com to help our pups find their forever homes.
Please note, we are not a shelter. We do not have a kennel or facility that you can visit and see all the dogs. Each dog is fostered in an individual home. We do rescue out of our private homes and in our spare time. So, you cannot come visit our dogs until you have gone through the application and interview process and we have contacted you about scheduling a visit. We do not have set "hours" and we answer all calls and emails as quickly as we can!
