Kingsley, a Shih Tzu mix

Meet Kingsley! Kingsley is a 4 year old male Shih Tzu mix and he weighs about 14 pounds. He found himself surrendered to animal services right before Hurricane Milton and in need of a safe place to go, as he was very scared at the shelter. He arrived in rescue and has been doing great and is ready to find a forever family to call his own. His foster mom says, "He is a little shy with new people at first, but with time and a few treats, he comes around. Kingsley loves to leave the house for a walk, where he can sniff around and discover new smells. However, he will bark and bark at other dogs while walking. He also loves the car! He will sit strapped into his doggie car seat and watch the world go by the window! Kingsley would love a family that is home more than they are out. He has separation anxiety when left alone and doesn’t settle down until you return (so a home without shared walls is ideal).

He is a smart (too smart for his own good sometimes!) and sweet boy. He has been playing and playing with the other foster in the home-he has energy! He can jump mighty high for a little one. Human siblings (older kiddos) would be fine! Kingsley has plenty of energy to run and play in the yard, but he is just as happy curled up next to you on the couch. He does not like being in a crate; he would love to sleep in bed with you. He hasn't had an overnight accident and is crate/house trained as long as he is taken out on a schedule, and you are home. Kingsley would love to be the newest member of your family!" He is neutered, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative, microchipped and has had his teeth cleaned. Kingsley is fostered in the Orlando area and his adoption donation is $325.

Coco, a Chihuahua

Meet Coco! Coco is a 10 year old male Chihuahua and he weighs about 9 pounds. He arrived in rescue when his previous family could no longer care for him. He has settled into foster care nicely but would love a forever family to call his very own. His foster mom says, "Meet my handsome foster boy Coco! He is a sweet guy, but shy at times. Once he is comfortable in his new home, he seeks out affection from you.

He will take a little time to adjust to his new surroundings. He loves to sleep in the bed with his humans and also enjoys hanging out on the couch with you. Coco loves his food/treats and is very treat motivated (although he could use to lose a pound or two which we are working on). Although he currently lives with other pups, he would do best as an only pup (he isn't fond of sharing food/treats). Coco is very excitable when there is a knock on the door and he goes into protection mode, but then quickly calms down. He is not 100% house trained but will use a potty pad if one is available to him. A quiet home without children would be best for him. Coco walks well on a leash and enjoys a short leisurely stroll." He is neutered, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative, microchipped and has had his teeth cleaned. Coco is fostered in the Orlando area and his adoption donation is $275.

Monte, a Poodle/Doodle mix

Meet Monte! Monte is a 2-3 year old male Poodle/Doodle of some sort, but we really don't know exactly what and he weighs about 30 pounds. We can not say he is hypo-allergenic, so if you must have allergy friendly, he is not the pup for your home. Monte arrived in rescue after being found running loose and scared before the hurricane. No owner came forward for him after being held the legal amount of time through animal services. He is now ready to find his forever family. His foster mom says, "Monte is an incredibly smart boy! He knows sit, give paw/high five. He is learning wait and getting much better on his recall. This handsome boy is highly trainable and picks up commands quickly. Monte is an active boy and would make a great jogging companion. Although if you’re not into jogging he would also make an excellent walking partner. He does need a little more training on the leash as he pulls in excitement. A fenced in yard is preferred. He loves exploring the yard hunting for lizards. A home with senior humans or small children would not be a good fit for him.

Monte has been around small dogs and does well with them however he doesn’t realize his size so he needs a home with pups similar in size. He is a very loyal boy who wants to spend all his time with you so someone home for the better part of the day would suit him best. Monte MUST be crated when home alone. He will need a home with no shared walls - he has a big voice and knows how to use it. So far he only barks when you leave the house (does settle quickly in his crate) or if you are in another room and did not allow him to go with. He is house trained on a schedule. A typical Doodle, Monte will need to be groomed every 6-8 weeks and the cost of that is usually around $100-125, so his family will need to be prepared for that expense. If you are an active family looking for a very smart ,loyal pup who wants to spend all his time with you then this handsome boy is the perfect pup for you!" Monte 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 $350.

Sadie, a Chihuahua mix

Meet Sadie! Sadie is a 9 month old female Chihuahua mix and she weighs about 11 pounds. She is still growing and could easily gain a few more pounds. Sadie arrived in rescue after she came from a home with too many dogs that was unable to care for them. She has settled into foster care nicely, but is ready to find a forever family to call her own. Her foster mom says she would like to introduce herself: Hi! I’m Sadie and I would like to introduce myself. I am such a young puppy with so much love to give but I am very reserved. I’m going to need my new family to give me quite of bit of time to adjust to them and my new surroundings. I prefer to be around a young social dog to help show me the ropes in the home, as it will take me a little while to get comfortable.

I do think I would be ok as an only dog as well, as long as my family has patience. My foster mom has a cat that I’m very interested in and I want to be her friend but I’m still nervous. My foster mom also bribed me the first week with cheese and I’ve realized it is just the best thing ever. She brought home these weird squeaky toys and we came to the conclusion that I only like crinkly toys. My crate is where I feel very safe, I like to hang out on the bed with my foster mom but I sleep in my crate very well, and I’m 100% crate trained. I’m comfortable on a harness and leash for going on my daily walks and I’m decently comfortable riding in the car. I’m looking for a family that will be patient with me while I get comfortable and that’s going to love me forever. Sadie is spayed, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative and microchipped. She is fostered in the Orlando area and her adoption donation is $375.

Nena, a Chihuahua mix

Meet Nena! Nena is a 3 year old female Chihuahua mix and she weighs about 17 pounds, although she needs to lose a few. She arrived in rescue ahead of Hurricane Milton after delivering puppies at animal services. The entire family arrived in rescue ahead of the storm and settled into foster care nicely. The puppies are fully weaned and mama is ready for a forever family to call her very own! Her foster mom says, "Nena is a sweetheart! She's very friendly and eager to please. She loves to roll in the grass and get dirty. Nena listens when spoken and would make a wonderful edition to a family looking for a dog who just wants love.

She's great with other dogs and cats. She occasionally likes to chase the cats for fun (though most cats would not appreciate this). Nena likes to use her vocal cords at doorbells and other dogs barking. She is house trained on a schedule and never chews anything here. Overall, she is a very sweet girl!" Nena 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.

Princess, a Chihuahua/Poodle/Terrier mix

Meet Princess! Princess is a 5 year old Chihuahua/Poodle/Terrier mix and she weighs about 15 pounds. She arrived in rescue after being left at animal services when her family could not care for her. She was very scared there and needed to decompress in a foster home. She has settled in well and her foster mom says she would like to introduce herself: Hi! My name is Princess. My foster mommy calls me Pretty Pretty Princess! I love my foster mommy, but I am ready to find a family of my own. I would love to be a spoiled only "princess". While I get along with the other dogs in the house.

I don't like the others joining me with my foster mommy snuggling on the couch watching reruns on TV (my favorite show is Mama's Family). I like to tuck myself in under a blanket to sleep. If you want to get my attention, food works every time! I'm very cautious around new people but once I get to know you, I'll be your best friend! I do not really like men very much and will bark at them, so I really need a girls-only home please!" 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.

Tulip, a Chihuahua mix

Meet Tulip! Tulip is a 10 week old female Chihuahua mix and she currently weighs about 3 pounds. Please know she is still growing and we do not know who daddy was (he didn't stick around, probably trying to dodge pup support, lol!) and mom weighs about 15 pounds. We anticipate her staying under 25 pounds, but we can't promise that. Tulip arrived in rescue just ahead of Hurricane Milton after being born at animal services where mom was brought in as a stray. No one came for them and they needed a safe place to evacuate to as the hurricane approached, so the family settled into a loving foster home where they have been raised and showered with love.

She is ready to find a forever family to call her own though - one that is up for all things puppy - including house training, leash training, learning what to chew and not chew along with continued socialization and manners, using positive reinforcement of course. Her foster mom says, "Tulip is a spunky girl the smallest of her litter mates. She has a big personality and acts like the boss. Tulip is always full of energy, ready to run and play." She is spayed, up to date on vaccines, on flea and heartworm prevention and microchipped. Tulip is fostered in the Orlando area and her adoption donation is $375.

Ozzie, a Chihuahua/Italian Greyhound mix

Meet Ozzie! Ozzie is a 1year old male Chihuahua/Italian Greyhoud/something really cute mix and he weighs about 16 pounds. He arrived in rescue after winding up at animal services as a stray and no one came to claim him. His hold time was up right as Hurricane Milton was approaching. He has been in a loving foster home ever since, but is ready to find a family to call his own. His foster mom says, "This young boy is so full of love and life! He has so much love to give. He enjoys doing everything with other dogs.,,playing, chasing, tug of war, everything. He looks for the other dogs to show him the ropes of the house. He would do best with another young dog in the home that can handle his energy, not an older pup. He is 100% house trained in the house and his kennel. Ozzie gets a bit of anxiety when going into the kennel at first, but he settles. He has gotten so much better since he's been with me. He eats very well and is always wanting to learn something for a snack. Ozzie is going to need a family that can give him quite a bit of exercise. He enjoys doing laps and laps and more laps around the yard and also loves to take walks around the neighborhood.

He is easy going and can hangout with you on the couch, but he is very energetic and loves to stay busy (lick mats and food puzzles are his best friend). Ozzie would love to sleep in the bed with you. (His crate is in our room) He gets along with smaller and larger dogs, I have both. I'm unsure of kids and cats since I don't have either, but he jumps on you when he's excited (we are working on that) so probably no small kids. Ozzie is such a loving boy and is ready to be home with you!" He is neutered, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative, microchipped and has had his teeth cleaned. Ozzie is fostered in the Flagler Beach area and his adoption donation is $300.

Rose, a Chihuahua mix

Meet Rose! Rose is a 10 week old female Chihuahua mix and she currently weighs about 3 pounds. Please know she is still growing and we do not know who daddy was (he didn't stick around, probably trying to dodge pup support, lol!) and mom weighs about 15 pounds. We anticipate her staying under 25 pounds, but we can't promise that. Rose arrived in rescue just ahead of Hurricane Milton after being born at animal services where mom was brought in as a stray. No one came for them and they needed a safe place to evacuate to as the hurricane approached, so the family settled into a loving foster home where they have been raised and showered with love.

She is ready to find a forever family to call her own though - one that is up for all things puppy - including house training, leash training, learning what to chew and not chew along with continued socialization and manners, using positive reinforcement of course. Her foster mom says, "Rose is a loving sweet puppy who enjoys running, playing with toys and her litter mates. Rose likes to cuddle and give kisses. She is definitely one of the snuggle bugs of the bunch." Rose 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 $375.

Hans, a Terrier mix

Meet Hans! Hans is a 3 year old Terrier mix and he weighs about 17 pounds. He arrived in rescue ahead Hurricane Milton as his time was up as a stray at animal services and no one came to claim him. He safely arrived in rescue and was very scared at first, which is easily understandable. He has settled into his foster home, but would love a patient forever family to call his own. His foster mom says, "Hans is a sweet and gentle soul, who's looking for a quiet home and understanding human. While he may seem shy and timid at first, over time he will be a loyal and loving companion. Hans is a well behaved boy who knows basic commands like sit, stay and down. He's a pro at going on walks, sitting calmly while you leash him up, and walking by your side. He's also house trained on a schedule and uses pee pads. He's not a barker, but don't let his quiet demeanor fool you! He can be protective and will bark loudly at visitors, however, he’ll quickly calm down once the visitor is inside.

He can handle being home alone for short periods, but he'd prefer a home with someone who's around most of the time. When he feels safe and secure, Hans's playful side emerges. He loves playing with his toys and wants it to squeak loudly and often. He's also quite the character! He prefers to sleep under the bed, but he runs to his human’s side and does the bunny hop when he hears the morning alarm. All of these wonderful qualities will take a little time for him to warm up to you. He gets along well with other dogs and cats, but he's not suited for a household with children. He would do well in a peaceful home with someone who can provide him with the time, attention and understanding he needs to build trust. Hans is ready to start a new chapter with the right person willing to unlock his full potential." He is neutered, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative, microchipped and has had his teeth cleaned. Hans is fostered in the Orlando area and his adoption donation is $325.

Loki, a Puggle mix

Meet Loki! Loki is a 3 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. Tug is one of his favorite games and he likes it when the humans play too. He is working on his house training 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 doeesn't like to cuddle. He currently sleeps on a dog bed in the primary bathroom and is pretty good with sleeping through the night. Loki will play with other dogs but should really be the only dog in his forever home as he doesn’t like to share his food or treats and gets anxious when other pups are around at meal/snack time. 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 $275.

Katniss, a Shih Tzu

Meet Katniss! Katniss is a 2 year old female Shih Tzu and she weighs about 10 pounds. She arrived in rescue when her previous family could no longer care for her. Her foster mom says, "Katniss is just sweet, sweet, sweet! She loves everyone she meets and only wants love and attention in return for her undying devotion. She always wants to be close to her people and will be your shadow for much of the day. As such, she is often underfoot and a home with senior humans or young children is not recommended.

She also likes to sleep in bed at night, usually curled up by your feet. Katniss walks well on a leash. She can be a tad cautious at times but will get moving again with a little encouragement. She gets along well with other dogs although she does seem to prefer human company. Katniss is not a big barker and really only barks when you come home after being gone for a bit. She is house trained on a schedule and rides nicely in the car." Katniss is spayed, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative and microchipped. She is fostered in the Orlando area and her adoption donation is $450.

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 house trained 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. Update: He gets along with large dogs who can tolerate his “energy”. Recommend a home with a dog buddy to help him with his anxiety when left without his person. He walks very well on leash with his dog buddy. He is very treat motivated and needs redirection with happy nipping and a sturdy chew toy helps his chewing needs. He can now tolerate short stays in sturdy crate with decreased anxiety but would not do well for a full work day in crate. He attaches to his person and is slowly doing better letting other people pet him without immediately running away. Willie doesn't tolerate cates wouldn't do well in a home with younger children due to overstimulation/noise and chewing hazards with small toys. He will put any small found item in his mouth to chew including yard choking hazards so he needs to be watched when playing in a fenced yard." 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.
