Edgar, a Poodle/Shih Tzu mix
 
Meet Edgar! Edgar is a 6 year old male Poodle/Shih Tzu mix and he weighs about 8 pounds. He arrived in rescue after coming from a home that could no longer care for him. His foster mom says, "Edgar is a funny, energetic and gregarious pooch. Although he gets along with dogs of all sizes, he'd be fine as an only dog. He loves to chew, so appropriate toys are a must. He's curious about the cats, so unless yours is dog-smart, a feline-free home would be best. He's house trained on a regular and frequent schedule, however he may have an accident in between his walks. He does extremely well on a harness with leash. He occasionally barks at new people and strange noises, so no shared walls. He is not crated when we leave, as he is not destructive.
 
Edgar seeks affection and snuggles on our bed during the night. Due to his small size, no little tykes, but I think he would be fine with older, dog-savvy, gentle children. No frail adults, as his enthusiasm may result in a tumble. Edgar is loving and eager to please. He would be the perfect addition to his perfect forever home. Could you be the lucky one? Open your home and your heart to him and he will bring a smile to your face!" Edgar is neutered, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative, microchipped and has had his teeth cleaned. He is fostered in the Flagler Beach area and his adoption donation is $375.
 
 

Rosie, a Shih Tzu/Yorkie mix
 
Meet Roșie! Roșie îs a 2-3 year old female Shih Tzu/Yorkie 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 her. Her foster mom says, "Meet Rosie! Rosie is a ray of sunshine wrapped in fur—always sweet, always happy and full of wiggles when she’s excited. 
 
Whether she’s greeting you with a full body tail wag or bouncing off to play with her doggy friends, her joy is totally contagious! Snuggles and belly rubs? Rosie’s all in. She’ll happily crawl into your lap or curl up in bed with you at night. She’s also got a bit of a “queen of the castle” vibe—no piece of furniture is off limits in her world and she’ll gladly make herself at home wherever the coziest spot is. Rosie is playful, affectionate and full of personality. She’d thrive in a home where she’s treated like one of the family—couch privileges included!" Rosie 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.
 
 

Carla, a Chihuahua mix
 
Meet Carla! Carla is a 1-2 year old female Chihuahua mix and she weighs about 9 pounds. She arrived in rescue after finding herself stranded at animal services with her puppy. Her puppy was weaned and found a home, but Carla has had an extended stay in foster care as she was heartworm positive and needed treatment. She has been treated and is now off restrictions and ready to find a forever family to call her own! Her foster mom says, "Carla is a cute, loving ball of energy!
 
She came to stay with me while on crate rest following heartworm treatment. At such a young age this poor girl had already been bred and was not receiving proper care. She has been a trooper, but it is evident that crate rest is not her thing. She is always super excited to go outside and moves at one speed.....lightning! Carla eats well and is house trained on a schedule. She will need patience with leash walking until she knows it's OK to slow down. She also really enjoys car rides and loves meeting new people. She has shown no interest in my cat." Carla is spayed, up to date on vaccines, on flea and heartworm prevention, microchipped and has had her teeth cleaned! She is fostered in the Orlando area and her adoption donation is $375.
 
 

Sylvia, a Poodle
 
Meet Sylvia! Sylvia is a 6-8 year old female Poodle mix and she weighs about 16 pounds. She arrived in rescue when her previous family could no longer care for her. Her foster mom says, "We would like to introduce you to Sylvia! The best way we can  describe Sylvia is calm and chill. She is not a big barker, but will bark when she hears other dogs barking. She loves to play with her toys and already knows basic commands like "sit". She is very smart and should learn others easily. Sylvia is a very sweet girl and is very much looking forward to her forever home.
 
Her outdoor house training is a work in progress. She pretty much has "number one" mastered, but is still working on the rest. She has settled in nicely in foster care and we have enjoyed having her in our home. Sylvia gets along with other dogs and our cat too. She was curious at first, but now the cat is old news to her. She will walk on a leash and likes to explore on her walks, but enjoys the grass in the backyard just as much." Sylvia 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 $350.
 
 

Bryce, a Shih Tzu/Yorkie mix
 
Meet Bryce! Bryce is a 2-3 year old male Shih Tzu/Yorkie mix and he weighs about 15 pounds. He arrived in rescue after coming from a home with too many dogs that could not properly care for them. His foster mom says, "Meet Bryce! This sweet snugglebug is equal parts cuddle king and playful pup. Bryce lives for cozy moments—whether it’s curling up in bed with you at night or sneaking in a lazy afternoon nap. He’s happiest when he’s close to his people. Bryce gets along great with other dogs and loves to play, though he can be a little bossy at times—he’s just got some main character energy. 
 
He adores people and truly doesn’t meet a stranger. Whether you’re a longtime friend or someone new, Bryce is ready to shower you with love. He’s still working on perfecting his house training, but he’s a smart cookie and catching on quickly. With a little patience and consistency, he’ll have it mastered in no time. If you’re looking for a lovable sidekick who’s all in on playtime and snuggle time, Bryce is your guy!" Bryce 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.
 
 

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.
 
 

Kiwi, a Maltese/Bichon mix
 
Meet Kiwi! Kiwi is a 1 year old female Maltese/Bichon mix and she weighs about 17 pounds. She could still gain a few pounds, but she should stay under 25 pounds when full grown. Kiwi arrived in foster care when her previous family was simply not up for all things puppy. Her foster mom says, "Meet Kiwi! Kiwi is a sweet, curious soul with a heart that blooms in her own time. She’s shy at first and takes a while to warm up to new people, but once she feels safe, her playful side starts to shine—especially when she’s with her dog buddies. 
 
She loves being outside and will happily spend time exploring the yard or soaking up the sunshine. At home, Kiwi is your quiet little shadow. She doesn’t bark much, but she’s always watching from the couch or chair, taking in what her people are up to. It’s her own quiet way of staying close and connected. She’s doing great with house training habits—using her piddle pad reliably or going outside when she gets the chance. Leash walking isn’t in her routine yet, so a home with a secure yard would be perfect for her. If you have a calm, patient heart and a soft spot for gentle pups who just need a little time to trust, Kiwi could be your perfect match." Kiwi 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.
 
 

Fonzie, a Yorkie mix
 
Meet Fonzie! Fonzie is a 1 year old male Yorkie mix and he weighs about 11 pounds. He arrived in rescue after coming from a home with too many pups that could not care for them all properly. He is full of puppy energy and is ready to find a forever family full of energy too! His foster mom says, "Fonzie is a great little dog - super energetic, loya, and affectionate. He will jump on you to show his excitement when he sees you (we are working on this!). He is also a chewer and mouthy on ankles, shoes, fingers, toes, hands, shoe strings, just about anything. Fonzie needs toys to channel that behavior, otherwise everything is fair game! He loves to play to the extreme and is not afraid to challenge even the large dogs. My little ones, my seniors and my cats don't care for his robust behavior. He's not a fan of a crate and will let you know his displeasure. He barks at strangers and new sounds, so no shared walls.  
 
He's a bolter, so be sure your garage door is down before you go out! Fonzie's house trained on a schedule, but I haven't noticed any particular sign to let me know when he needs to go out. He's ok on leash and harness (likes to chew the leash), but his new family will need to continue this training, He likes to roam from food bowl to food bowl, so containment is necessary if other pets are also being fed. He likes to sit in the water bowl to cool off - when we noticed, we got him a pool! He loves to sleep on the bed with us at night.  I believe Fonzie would do best with an active family, a playful canine friend of comparable size and temperment and a fenced yard.  He loves to run, so several walks a day if your yard is not fenced. He would be fine as an only pet, as long as his high energy needs are addressed. No small children or frail adults, as his enthusiasm could result in a tumble. Due to his small size and energy, I think he would be ok with older, dog savvy kids. He will be a fun and loving addition to his forever home. Could you be the lucky one?" Fonzie is neutered, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative and microchipped. He is fostered in the Flagler Beach area and his adoption donation is $400.
 
 

Sassy, a Chihuahua/Yorkie mix
 
Meet Sassy! Sassy is an 8-9 month old female Chihuahua/Yorkie mix and she weighs about 8 pounds. She should stay around 12-20 pounds when full grown, but we can not predict her adult weight. Sassy arrived in rescue after coming from a home with too many pups that was unable to properly care for her. Her foster mom says, "Meet Sassy! Don’t let the name fool you—actually, no, let it. This little firecracker lives up to every bit of it! Sassy is a small pup with a big voice and an even bigger personality. She’s a bit of a barker (and not shy about it), but that just means she has opinions and isn’t afraid to share them. She’s got the zoomies down to an art—expect spontaneous bursts of energy as she flies through the house, launching herself onto furniture like she’s training for a doggy Olympics. She lives for playtime with her dog friends and thrives in a home where she can romp around and burn off her sassy streak. Though she can be a little standoffish when first meeting new people, give her a minute (and maybe a treat), and she’ll warm up. House training habits? 
 
She’s got those pretty dialed in—great with piddle pads and also knows how to do her business outside. Sassy finds cats quite the species to chase, so a home without them is best for her. If you’re looking for a spunky, playful pup with a diva attitude and a heart of gold, Sassy might just be your girl!" Sassy 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 $400.
 
 

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.
 
 

Jorge, a Dachshund/Chihuahua/Min Pin mix
 
Meet Jorge! Jorge is a 2 year old male Dachshund/Chihuahua/Min Pin mix and he weighs about 10 pounds. He arrived in rescue after coming from a house with too many dogs that could not properly care for him. He did not have much socialization but is doing well in foster care and is ready for a forever home to help him continue to be the best pup he can be! His foster mom says, "Sadly, Jorge came from a 'hoard house' and has never learned how to 'dog', so he will require an extremely patient, special owner. He's quite skittish and will need a crate in his new home that we recommend he be permitted to stay inside for his first few days (pee pads for him to wee on and a towel for him to sleep on). He's VERY sweet, not high energy, not aggressive- so loving touches, kind speak will do him nicely while he unwinds with you. He definitely takes time to warm up, but once he does, he is a MEGA LOVER! He is sooo affectionate- he wants to be CLOSE- at least touching you and often ON YOU!!! 
 
He doesn't like open spaces and after two months, still hasn't explored his home, which gives you an idea of just how scaredy this boy is. But he LOVES sofa hang out or lap time- and he wants to sleep in the big bed with you all night. He will require a FULLY fenced, secure yard due to his being so skittish in order to help with his house training. And, he does NOT like harnesses or leashes yet- so, the adopter will need to work with him on this. Jorge is a very smart dog, and with patience, we are confident that he will do well. BUT- he will most likely always be a very skittish dog with strangers coming into the home. Car rides aren't his thing, either. So, this dude is a challenge! But, he is sooo LOVING and if you want a cuddly, sweet, funny dude that you are willing to devote some time and effort towards- Jorge might be your guy!" Jorge 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.
 
 

Pebbles,a Yorkie mix
 
Meet Pebbles! Pebbles is a 1-2 year old female Yorkie mix and she weighs about 5 pounds. She arrived in rescue after coming from a home with too many pups that could not properly care for her. She was not super socialized, but is working hard to learn that humans are kind and can be trusted. Her foster mom says, "Meet Pebbles – your diamond in the ruff! This beautiful girl may start out shy, but don’t let that fool you. 
 
Once you earn her trust, she becomes the most loyal, loving little shadow you could ask for! Pebbles is looking for a patient and understanding human who sees the magic in slow beginnings and the beauty in building trust. She’s a playful pup who adores romping around with other dogs and tossing her toys around. Cats, however, are more of a “chase now, apologize never” situation—so a cat free home is ideal. Pebbles is a peaceful soul, not one for barking just to hear herself talk. Her favorite pastime? Cozy, blissful naps on the couch where she can curl up and feel safe. She’s currently working on her pad training and doing her best! If you’re ready to invest a little love and time, Pebbles will repay you with endless affection and the kind of bond that only comes from earning it. She’s not just a pet—she’s a project of the heart." Pebbles 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.
 
 

Loki, a Puggle mix
 

Meet Loki! Loki is a 5 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.The best thing I can say about Loki is when my parents came to visit, my dad said that if he was looking for a dog, he would want Loki. My parents have been around several of our other foster dogs over the years and never said anything like this before. Loki is a medium energy dog who would play all day with you if you let him. He follows me around the house and always likes to be nearby. If I'm on the recliner or couch, he will sit on or near me. He loves playing tug and fetch, but eventually will go play by himself or lay down and take a nap if I stop entertaining him. He sometimes even falls asleep with a toy in his mouth. He loves attention from people, but doesn't want to share that with any other animals in the house. He could not be in a home with cats, other dogs or any small pets. Loki could be in a home with older, dog savvy children. He would not do well in a house with shared walls, as he barks at most noises.

 

He is extra alert to sounds if I'm alone with him in the house. He likes to chase squirrels and lizards, so he has to wear a harness on walks. Loki is pretty much house trained on a schedule of every 3-4 hours and will use a potty pad as a backup. At the end of the day, Loki sleeps in the big bed with us. He has commandeered a pillow as his own and also likes to go under the blankets. He sometimes will cuddle, but only when it's his choice. "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.

 
 

Raven, a Shih Tzu
 
Meet Raven! Raven 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. She is a sweet girl who has settled into foster care nicely, but would love a forever family to call her own. Her foster dad said she would like to introduce herself: Hi, my name is Raven. I’m a super sweet and friendly little girl. In my spare time, I like to play with toys, chew on bones and run around the yard with you.  I am more of a “free spirit” and do not like being locked in a crate.  
 
If you try it, I will bark and scratch very loudly until you let me out…but that’s just to make sure you do not forget about me.  I am great with older kids and other dogs, but my ideal situation would be a home where I am the only dog, so I do not have to compete for attention, food or treats.  I will also need a house with no shared walls and someone who can be home with me most of the day would be great!  I am house trained but can have an occasional accident if I get too excited.  Anyway, if you’re looking for a loving and playful new friend who is full of personality, you should definitely pick me! Raven 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.
 
 

Calvin, a Shih Tzu
 
Meet Calvin! Calvin is a 9 year old male Shih Tzu and he weighs about 14 pounds. He arrived in rescue after coming from a home with too many pups that could not properly care for them all. His foster dad says, "Meet Calvin – A True Gentleman in a Fluffy Coat.Looking for a companion who’s equal parts sweet, polite and heart-meltingly adorable? Say hello to Calvin, a 9-year-old Shih Tzu with a calm spirit and a heart full of love. He is the perfect size for lap cuddles, cozy naps and leisurely walks. Calvin is what we like to call an “easy-to-love teddy bear.” He gets along well with other dogs. 
 
He hasn’t been around children in our care, his gentle demeanor speaks volumes but just use caution. He’s working on his house training. Calvin is well mannered and prefers to be near his human, though he’s not overly clingy. Just loyal, loving and always nearby when you need a friend. Not a big fan of thunderstorms or rain. This sweet boy arrived in rescue through no fault of his own and now he’s ready for a second chance at a forever home. He’s the kind of pup who quietly steals your heart—and might just turn your foster plans into a forever commitment. Calvin is ready to meet his forever family. Could that be you? Apply to adopt today and let this little gentleman bring joy, comfort, and companionship into your life." Calvin 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 $325.
 
 

Blitz, a Maltipoo
 
Meet Blitz! Blitz is a 3 month old male Maltipoo and he weighs about 5 pounds. He is still growing and could be up to 15-20 pounds when full grown. Blitz arrived in rescue when his previous family just was not up for a puppy and all of the challenges of puppyhood. Blitz will need a family that is up for all things puppy - including house training, leash training, continued socialization and all her proper life skills. His foster mom says, "Say hello to Blitz! Blitz is a sweet, spirited little pup with a big voice and an even bigger heart. This young guy is full of energy and curiosity—and he’s got a lot to say about it! From happy barks to adorable “conversations,” Blitz is quite the little talker. (Fair warning: he’s better suited for a home without shared walls, so his vocal talents don’t keep the neighbors up!)
 
Blitz is on a journey to master all the puppy essentials: leash walking, house training, crate manners, and discovering what not to chew on (sorry, shoes!). With a healthy appetite and a brain eager to learn, he’s ready for a family who’s patient, loving and excited to help him grow into the well behaved companion he’s destined to be. Blitz can often be underfoot, so a home with any one who is a trip and fall hazard (senior humans and small kiddos!) is not a match for him. If you’re looking for a sweet, chatty and playful pup who’ll keep you smiling—and maybe talking back—Blitz is your perfect match!" Blitz 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.
