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.

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. She will need a family that will understand this, as well as their grooming needs. Her foster mom says: Oreo is a spunky little Shih Tzu mix who knows how to turn playtime into an adventure!

She absolutely loves being chased and thinks hide-and-seek is the best game ever. Get ready to laugh as she dashes around, full of joy and energy. When she’s not in full-on play mode, Oreo loves her naps just as much, happily curling up for a cozy snooze in between bouts of fun. She’s the perfect mix of playful mischief and sweet relaxation. She will keep you on your toes with games one moment and melt into your lap the next! Oreo is spayed, up to date on vaccines, on flea and heartworm prevention and microchipped.

Ricky, a Pomeranian

Meet Ricky! Ricky is a 1 year old male Pomeranian and he weighs about 9 pounds. Ricky 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: Ricky has been a joy to have in our home as a foster dog. 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, but currently it is not his favorite. 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. He also has met lots of our family members and is excited to meet them and get more pets from them. Ricky 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.

He loves people and will dance around you when he is excited. Playing chase with his foster siblings is one of his favorite things to do, especially when he is the one being chased. He is fast and races around the yard at lightening speed.

Hurley loves meeting new people and getting pets from anyone who will take a moment to do so. He is very well behaved and doesn't bark much. He likes to sleep in bed at night and is often the last one out of bed in the morning. Lol. Hurley gets along well with other dogs, rides nicely in the car and is an all around great guy!

Jasper, a Poodle/Pomeranian mix

Meet Jasper! Jasper is a 5 month old male Poodle/Pomeranian mix and he weighs about 13 pounds. He is still a growing puppy and we are not sure exactly what his adult weight will be, so his new family will need to be prepared for him to grow until he is done, LOL!

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.

He has been in a loving foster home since he was 10 weeks old. He 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. Aussies are very smart and very active and need a family that will understand this, as well as their grooming needs. His foster mom says: Irwin is a handsome Australian Shepherd with a soft heart and an even softer spot for his people. He might be a little shy when you first meet him, but give him a moment and you’ll see his true self shine through.

Once he warms up, Irwin is all about love, attention, and sticking close to his favorite humans. Irwin enjoys being around older kids and thrives on companionship. He can get a bit vocal when he’s feeling unsure around new people, but with reassurance and a little patience, he settles in and shows just how sweet and affectionate he really is. At the end of the day, Irwin’s favorite place is right next to you, preferably on the couch, soaking up cuddles for as long as you’re willing to give them. He’s the perfect mix of gentle, loyal, and loving. Irwin is up to date on vaccines, on flea and heartworm prevention, neutered and microchipped.

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.

He’s truly an old soul—the kind of dog who brings comfort just by being near—yet he still enjoys playtime and soaking up life’s happy moments. Jack absolutely loves belly rubs and will gladly roll over to invite you to give him some extra affection. He’s well-mannered but he does like pick things out of the trash and sometimes grab articles of clothing.

He's fully house trained on a schedule, does well on a leash and doesn't like the crate but will go in and knows how to relax and enjoy quality time with his people. Jack would thrive in a home where he can be cherished as the loyal companion he is. He doesn’t ask for much—just love, patience, and a cozy spot to call his own.

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.

Leo, a Maltese mix

Meet Leo! Leo is a 1 year old male Maltese mix and he weighs about 8 pounds. He 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, however he loves 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.
