Freesia, a Beagle/Chihuahua mix
 
Meet Freesia! Freesia is a 3 month old female Beagle/Chihuahua/who knows but she sure is cute mix and she currently weighs about 6 pounds. She should stay under 25 pounds full grown, but we honestly can't promise that as we don't know who daddy is - he didn't stick around (we guess he was trying to bail on pup support!). Momma is a Beagle/Chihuahua mix and she weighs about 19 pounds. Freesia arrived in rescue when mom wound up at the shelter along with several other pups from a home where they were not properly being cared for. She has been raised in a loving foster home since she was a week old. 
 
She has thrived and is ready to find a forever family to call her own. Her new family needs to be prepared for all things puppy - house training, leash training and learning what to chew and not chew. Her foster mom says, "Freesia is a spunky little lady who can be very independent at times. She loves to play tug of war and is a great lap warmer. Freesia is still learning her manners, such as house training , walking on a leash, and the appropriate things to chew on.  Freesia is all puppy and cannot wait to find her forever home." She is spayed, up to date on vaccines, on flea and heartworm prevention and microchipped. Freesia is fostered in the Orlando area and her adoption donation is $350.

Porter, an Aussiedoodle/Goldendoodle mix
 

Meet Porter! Porter is a 4 1/2 month old male Aussiedoodle/Goldendoodle mix and he weighs about 15 pounds. He is still growing and he could grow up to be over 30 pounds, but we can't really be sure. Porter arrived in rescue after being part of an accidental litter. 

 
He has been in a loving foster home and is thriving. He is an active puppy that will need a family up for all things puppyhood brings including leash training, house training, socialization and learning that flip flops are for feet, not food. “Doodles” are very smart and very active and need a family that will understand this, as well as their grooming needs. His foster mom says, "Porter is such an adorable little ball of fluffy cuteness! He can be shy at first and will need a lot of patience. We are working on building his confidence. He’s got a big voice and likes to use it when he thinks there are things we need to know, so a home without shared walls will be best for him! He is very energetic when he is comfortable though and loves to play with his toys. He is working on his master's degree in desqueaking them!" Porter is neutered, up to date on vaccines, microchipped and on flea and heartworm prevention. He is fostered in the Orlando area and his adoption donation is $500.
 
 

Layla, a Labradoodle
 

Meet Layla! Layla is a 5 year old female Labradoodle and she weighs about 19 pounds. Please note Layla DOES SHED some and is NOT hypo-allergenic. She arrived in rescue when her previous family could no longer care for her. She arrived suffering from allergies, battling an ear infection and missing a lot of her hair. We have been able to get that under control with a good, quality food and a daily pill and her coat is growing back in nice and soft! She has settled into foster care, but is ready to find a forever home to call her own. Her foster mom says: Layla is a bundle of joy who's ready to steal your heart. This energetic pup loves playing fetch and is always up for an adventure. With her friendly demeanor, Layla is a people person, eager to greet everyone she encounters on her walks. A true lap dog at heart, she'll happily curl up in your arms for a cozy nap. Layla is fully house trained and has never had an accident at my house but please know that accidents *could* happen in a new environment and a family should be prepared for that.

 
She's a wonderful companion for older kids and cats, always ready for playtime or a gentle cuddle. This sweet girl loves belly rubs and is never anxious, whether she's in the car or left alone. In fact, she sees alone time as the perfect opportunity for a nap! Layla is a well mannered girl who knows most commands and loves to show off her skills. She'll even sit on her hind legs and give you a high five! If you're looking for a loving, playful companion who's always up for a good time, Layla is the perfect dog for you. She's ready to fill your life with joy and laughter!" Layla 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 $325.
 
 

Captain, a Chihuahua mix
 
Meet Captain! Captain is a 2 year old male Chihuahua mix and he weighs about 13 pounds. He arrived in rescue after winding up at animal services and being heartworm positive. He has been treated and has done great! He is ready to find a forever family to call his own. His foster mom says, "Captain is a funny, energetic, and gregarious pooch. He was a little hesitant when he first arrived in foster care, but quickly bonded once treats were rewarded! He may occasionally get upset if his personal space is breached and he will express his displeasure.  Captain is food possessive and is separated when fed. He would do best in a home with pups his size and of a similar activity level if he is not an only dog. He's a little too curious about the cats, so unless yours is dog-savvy, a feline free home would be best.  
 
He's housetrained on a regular and frequent schedule. He may have an accident in-between his walks if you don't watch him close for signals.  He does extremely well on a harness with leash.  Captain barks occasionally at new people and strange noises, so no shared walls.  He is not crated when we leave, as he is not destructive.  He seeks affection and snuggles on our bed during the night.  If other dogs wake him, they will hear his concerns!  Due to his small size and personal space issues, he would do best in an adult only home.  However, no frail adults, as his enthusiasm may result in a tumble. Captain is loving and eager to please.  Open your home and your heart to him and he will bring a smile to your face!" Captain is neutered, up to date on vaccines, on flea and heartworm prevention, microchip and has had his teeth cleaned! He is fostered in the Orlando area and his adoption donation is $300.
 
 

Tammy, a Chihuahua/Beagle mix
 

Meet Tammy! Tammy is a 5 year old female Chihuahua/Beagle mix and she weighs about 22 pounds. She arrived in rescue when her previous home could no longer care for her. Tammy has been confused about her situation, but is trying to learn to trust again and find her forever family. Her foster dad says, "Tammy is a very sweet, but very shy girl. She is shy and keeps her distance but still comes to be near you then backs away. She’s working on trust but is so sweet and loving once she surrenders to you. 

 

She has been around dogs of all sizes and is okay with that. Tammy absolutely needs another dog in her forever home as she has anxiety when she is "all alone". She has not been around cats or children. She is crate trained, but you have to put her in but is starting to go in on her own. She currently is sleeping the night in her crate and rides in her crate in the car. Tammy is working on house training and leash skills. She will require patience to gain your trust and that will take time. She’s so cute and sweet she’s hard to resist! You can’t help but love her." Tammy 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 $275.

 
 

Prime, an Aussiedoodle/Goldendoodle mix
 

Meet Prime! Prime is a 9 month old male Aussiedoodle/Goldendoodle mix and he weighs about 45 pounds. He is still growing and could grow to be over 60 pounds, but we are not sure. Prime arrived in rescue after being surrendered by his breeder. He has been in a loving foster home but is ready for a forever family that is full of energy, just like he is! His foster mom says, "Prime is such a young, spunky puppy that has so much life and love to give! He has a ton of energy and if you have a huge yard or farm where you can be outside playing with him, that is such a plus for this young guy! He knows sit, speak, paw and high five. 

 
He is very food and treat motivated and is not picky at all. Prime also rides very well in the car. He will need a younger, high energy canine companion. He thrives the best when he has another dog around. Prime is house and kennel trained for the most part and he has very few accidents. He is crate trained, but does bark sometimes while you’re gone. (No shared walls). He has not been around cats or children, but should be ok with older, dog savvy kiddos." Prime is neutered, up to date on vaccines, on flea and heartworm prevention and microchipped. He is fostered in the Flagler Beach area and his adoption donation is $350.
 
 

Foxy and Panda, Bonded Chihuahuas
 
Meet the Chi-Chi’s!! Two is always better than one! Foxy (brown) and Panda (black and white) are 7 year old female Chihuahuas and they weigh about 7 pounds. They arrived in rescue when their previous family could no longer care for them. They are a bonded pair and will need to be adopted together. Their foster mom says, "Foxy and Panda are absolutely bonded together and have completely different personalities. Foxy is spunky and so goofy and also not nervous at all. I call her my little ride or die. She is like glue but can also wander and do her own thing. Panda is a little reserved but has definitely come out of her shell a lot. She is content just sitting in your lap and going to sleep but with Panda in your lap, here comes Foxy! These girls are 100% crate trained and about 75% house trained. Every once in a while, one of them, I believe it’s Foxy, will have an accident, but we are working on it! The Chi’s love to be outside with anyone! Sunbathing, rolling, they love being dogs! They actually love their crate and will go in there to nap on their own sometimes. 
 
Both of them love to beg for our food, we’re working on that. But they do eat their dog food extremely well and they love treats! They ride very well in the car in their carrier. I have big and little dogs and they are comfortable with them all, the smaller ones a little more than the bigger, but they’re fine either way. The girls haven't been around cats or kids as I don’t have either. They’re so easy and quick to steal your heart!" Foxy and Panda are spayed, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative, microchipped and have had their teeth cleaned! Theyare fostered in the Orlando area and their combined adoption donation is $400.
 

Poppy, a Maltese/Terrier mix
 
Meet Poppy! Poppy is a 6 year old female Maltese/Terrier/whole lotta cuteness mix and she weighs about 9 pounds. She arrived in rescue heartworm positive, but she has completed her treatment and is doing great! Her foster dad says she would like to introduce herself:" Hi, my name is Poppy! 
 
I’m a very playful and sweet little girl. I love to run and jump.  I’m pretty sure with the right training I could do tricks!  I get along with everyone but ain't nobody gonna push me around.  I might be small, but I will stand my ground.  I might cower before I get to know you, but I tend to warm up quickly.  I am working on my house training, but still have accidents from time to time.  I have also been working on my crate training, but I will bark/whimper if I’m locked up and I know people are in the house having fun without me.  Although I’m not a huge fan of toys, I will play with them briefly from time to time.  If you’re looking for a playful new friend who is full of personality, you should definitely pick me!" Poppy is spayed, up to date on vaccines, on heartworm prevention, microchipped and has had her teeth cleaned. She is fostered in the Orlando area and her adoption donation is $325.
 
 

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.

 
 

Audrey, a Maltese/Terrier mix
 
Meet Audrey! Audrey is an 11 year old female Maltese/Terrier mix and she weighs about 11 pounds.She arrived back in rescue after her mom became very ill and was no longer able to care for her. Audrey has been a very loved, very cherished family member her whole life and is looking for a forever family to love her just as much. Her foster mom says, "Are you looking for a loyal companion?  This lovely lady would be happy to hang out with you, she loves stretching out next to you or going for a walk – wherever you are is where she wants to be.  She is older and came into foster care as her owner’s health dwindled.  It does not take long to see she was doted on.  She loves being brushed, has a great temperament and she needs a place where she can feel as loved as she once was.  Audrey loves adventuring outdoors, but she was obviously trained to do her business on a puppy pad as she will adventure outside and come in to do her business on the puppy pad and she's very good about it. While we’ve not heard much in the way of barking, she will sing the song of her people if she feels unsure of something.
 
Due to that, shared walls of an apartment, townhouse, or condo are not well suited for her.  Her favorite place to be would be in your lap being petted or brushed, if your hands are otherwise occupied she will be found on the floor close by. Her fur is so soft!  She would require some basic brushing and a face wipe and she is good about having that done. She is not fond of rain and is rather terrified of thunder and prefers to be held during a storm.  She has lost a few teeth so softened kibble or other soft foods are recommended for her. This super sweet gal still has plenty of snuggles to give and is looking for someone who needs her companionship.  Audrey is not a nervous gal but due to her small size younger children would not be advisable, they might scare her. She has not been around children, cats, or larger dogs, but she has been with multiple pups of a similar size with minimal concerns.  Pups that are jealous over attention would not be a good combination for Audrey as she would be vying for the lap and hands." Audrey 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 $275.
 
 

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.

 
 

Lavender, a Schnauzer/Terrier mix
 

Meet Lavender! Lavender is a 1-2 year old female Schnauzer/Terrier mix of adorableness mix and she weighs about 16 pounds. She arrived in rescue after arriving at animal services from a home with too many dogs where they were unable to properly care for them. She is happy to have kind humans in her life and is ready to find an understanding forever home to call her very own! Her foster mom says, "Lavender is a sweet girl, who is playful and very smart.  She listens to commands well and already knows how to sit pretty when it’s dinner time. 

 
She is timid and scared when meeting new people.  Lavender is also very protective of her human. When she gets scared or protective she will nip the new person if given the opportunity. She needs time to get comfortable around new people. She is good with other dogs and should have a buddy. Her buddy should be one that is not in her face. She likes her space. We are not sure about cats.  She doesn’t bark much unless she is playing with, hears or sees other dogs. She is really fast and loves to run around in the yard. Lavender is new on the leash but loves to go on walks. She is getting better with every walk. She likes to play in the garden hose and rain. Lavender isn't 100% house trained, but we are working on it.  She will need someone who has patience and someone who does not have a lot of people coming and going in the house." Lavender is spayed, up to date with vaccines, heartworm negative, microchipped and has had her teeth cleaned. She is fostered in the Orlando area and her adoption donation is $300. 
 
 

Molly, a Terrier mix
 

Meet Molly! Molly is a 8-10 year old female Terrier mix and she weighs about 10 pounds. She is a sweet girl who wound up at the shelter very scared, with an eye infection and a nearly ruptured eye. We had her eye removed and she is feeling much better. She has now settled into foster care nicely and is ready to find her forever family! Her foster mom says, "Molly may be totally blind but that doesn’t stop her!  Once she gets to know the “lay of the land” you would never know she is blind. She loves to play with other dogs and can wrestle with the best of them.  She can’t chase them and often times when she is playing her playmate will run off to start a game of chase and Molly looks confused like “where did they go?”  She loves scrubbies and will get very excited when you are paying attention to her.  

 
At times when Molly doesn’t know where she is, she will army crawl around trying to figure a way out or to get to something familiar.  If she is looking for you, she will go from room to room making little noises.  If you hear her and call to her she will make a bee line to your voice.  Molly loves to snuggle in bed at night and will sleep in her foster mom’s arms to make sure she doesn’t fall off the bed.  Strangers can be scary to her but with a proper introduction and a little time for her to recognize a voice she is fine.  She has not been walking on a leash and will use the piddle pad if she can’t get out.  Molly would do great with another playful pup to help “show” her around and guide her through new experiences." Molly is up to date, spayed, current on vaccines, heartworm negative and has had her teeth cleaned. She is fostered in the Orlando area and his adoption donation is $225.
 
 

Batman, a Chihuahua/Terrier mix
 
Meet Batman! Batman is a 1 year old male Chihuahua/Terrier mix and he weighs about 9 pounds. Batman arrived in rescue after coming from a home with too many dogs that could not properly care for them. He has settled into foster care nicely and is ready to start looking for his forever family. His foster mom says, "Batman is a playful and energetic boy. He likes to be around people but is still very shy especially around strangers so his forever family will need to be patient while he learns to trust them.  He loves to sleep in bed at night and will snuggle up at your feet.  In the morning he loves to get quality snuggle time and scrubbies with his people.  When Batman is let outside, he races around the perimeter to make sure that all is well and there are no intruders. 
 
After that, he will check the pool screen for lizards.  He is determined to keep those pesky critters away!  Batman gets along well with other dogs and enjoys playing with all the other dogs in his foster home.  He would do well with another dog in the home to help him feel less shy and more confident.  He really has a lot of love to give and just needs a special family to help him become a great pup!" Batman is neutered, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative, and microchipped. He is fostered in the Orlando area and his adoption donation is $325.
