Sabrina, a Shih Tzu/Maltese mix

Please note: Sabrina is not hypoallergenic and does shed. Due to Sabrina's participation in a program, her forever home needs to be located in the Orlando area.

Meet Sabrina! Sabrina is a 4 month old Shih Tzu/Maltese mix puppy. She currently weighs about 6 pounds, but is still quite the growing pup. While we expect her full grown weight to be under 25 pounds, we can not accurately predict that, so if you need a pup guaranteed to be a specific size, she is not the pup for you. Sabrina and her littermate arrived in rescue after they were surrendered as their previous family could not properly care for them. They have since been raised in loving foster homes (they are not in the same foster home) and are thriving. Sabrina is still very much a puppy and learning all of her life skills, so she will need a family that is up for that long term - which means house training, leash training, learning what to chew and not chew, continued socialization and positive reinforcement.

Her foster mom says: Sabrina is a super sweet, super special girl. She is full of charm and charisma and has no problem trying to work her magic on you to get out of trouble. You need to be immune though and help her work on her puppy manners. She is doing well on her house trianing, but will need a family to keep her on a consistent schedule and understand that accidents happen. Sabrina gets along well with her furfriends and would love a fur friend of similar energy, but is not suited for a home with senior pups - she can be a little annoying, lol. She gets along great with older, dog savvy kiddos and we are working on her learning fingers are not chew toys. She is very smart and food motivated, so she learns quickly. Sabrina is going to make a special family very lucky! She is spayed, up to date on vaccines, on flea and heartworm prevention and microchipped. Sabrina is fostered in the Orlando area and her adoption donation is $500.

Douglas, a Shih Tzu mix

Please note: Douglas is not hypoallergenic and does shed.

Meet Douglas! Douglas is a 4 month old Shih Tzu/something really cute mix puppy. He currently weighs about 10 pounds, but is still quite the growing pup. While we expect his full grown weight to be under 25 pounds, we can not accurately predict that.

If you need a pup guaranteed to be a specific size, he is not the pup for you. Douglas and his littermate arrived in rescue after they were surrendered their family could not properly care for them. They have since been raised in loving foster homes (they are not in the same foster home) and are thriving. Douglas is still very much a puppy and learning all of his life skills, so he will need a family that is up for that long term - which means house training, leash training, learning what to chew and not chew, continued socialization and positive reinforcement. His foster mom says: Douglas is a delightful puppy with a zest for life. Extremely curious, he is eager to explore. He's not just fun but he is sweet and ready to learn.With boundless energy and occasional goofiness, he would be great for a family. He is learning what and what not to chew and is doing well with his house training on a schedule. He is still a puppy though and there are accidents. Douglas is always ready for a cuddle and will brighten the life of his forever family. He is neutered, up to date on vaccines, on flea and heartworm prevention and microchipped. Douglas is fostered in the Orlando area and his adoption donation is $450.

Gretchen, a Terrier mix

Please note: Gretchen is not hypoallergenic and does shed.

Meet Gretchen! Gretchen is a 3 month old Terrier mix puppy. She currently weighs about 8 pounds, but is still quite the growing pup. While we expect her full grown weight to be under 25 pounds, we can not accurately predict that, so if you need a pup guaranteed to be a specific size, she is not the pup for you. Gretchen and her litter arrived in rescue after a call brought code enforcement to their home and they were surrendered as the family could not properly care for them. They have since been raised in loving foster homes (the litter is not all in the same foster home) and are thriving.

Gretchen is still very much a puppy and learning all of her life skills, so she will need a family that is up for that long term .

That means house training, leash training, learning what to chew and not chew, continued socialization and positive reinforcement. Her foster mom says: Gretchen is such an amazing girl! She loves her people and wants to be with them, so she will sometimes cry when she is crated, but she does settle down. However, her cries are vocal so a home with shared walls is not ideal for her. Gretchen never misses a chance to play and loves to romp around with her toys and with our pups. A senior pup would not be an ideal fur friend for her though as she does have a lot of energy. She is very smart and wants to "supervise" whatever is going on so she can learn how to do it too! She loves older kiddos and does weill with them. Overally, Gretchen is a really great girl! She is spayed, up to date on vaccines, on flea and heartworm prevention and microchipped. Gretchen is fostered in the Orlando area and her adoption donation is $450.

Sully, a French Bulldog/Boston Terrier mix

Meet Sully! Sully is a 7 month old male French Bulldog/Boston Terrier mix pup and he weighs about 20 pounds. He is still growing and could still gain a few pounds. He arrived in rescue when his human became ill and could no longer care for him. His foster mom says: Sully is a very active pup that loves human attention. He will jump into your lap without warning and he can jump high! Like a typical pup he is always looking for something to chew on and chewy sticks are prized possessions that are not to be shared with other pups (although we are working on this!). He would to sleep in bed at night and can jump up on any size bed with ease, however he is still a puppy, so a crate is needed.

Sully would do best as the only dog or with only one other dog in the home as he can become over excited when multiple dogs are barking or clammoring for attention. He likes to stick close to his human and soak up all the love and attention he can get. We are working on house training and leash training, but he will need a family that is patient and willing to use positive reinforcement to keep him consistent. Sully 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 $425.

Gary, a Schnauzer mix

Meet Gary! Gary is a 10-12 year old male Schnauzer mix and he weighs about 5 pounds. He arrived in rescue after coming from a house with too many dogs that did not properly care for them. His foster mom says: Gary came to us with a bad ear infection that has now cleared up but will need to be monitored as we don’t know if it will turn out to be chronic. Gary is a sweet boy, who is pretty chill and likes his naps. He does get his frisky moments and plays with toys for a few minutes. Gary is much like a cat as he will come to you when he is ready for pets or to be held. He is happy sleeping in the human bed when he chooses or sometimes just a pet bed in your room. Although he has never been an only dog, he should be fine as long as his humans are home more than gone. A home with no shared walls would be best. He will “scream” when he sees another dog, but he is all bark, no bite. He has a very high pitched bark for such a little man. He gets along with other dogs after the initial meet, but so far he’s not interested in playing.

We are working on his house training and leash training.He will need a fenced in yard at this time as he does not love the leash just yet. Mr. Gary has no teeth, so he will need wet food, and do not be late for his meals, he LOVES his food and treats. He will bark demands at you while getting his bowl ready-he is saying, hurry up!! This older gentleman deserves all the best in his new home! Gary 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 $225.

Allison, a Shih Tzu mix

Meet Allison! Allison is a 9 month old female Shih Tzu mix and she weighs about 8 pounds. Allson is still growing, and she could be up to 10-15 pounds when she is full grown, but we can not predict her adult weight. She is still a puppy and will need a patient family willing to continue to work with her using positive reinforcement to help her learn her life skills and build her confidence. Her foster dad says she would like to introduce herself: Herrrro, my name is Alison. 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. I really do like like attention from my human, but I'm scared and it takes time. Once I’m settled and feel safe, I love to run outside and play with other fur friends (speaking of which, I MUST have another pup in my forever home). I would prefer a home with no young children and a human who can be home with me most of the day. I currently like to sleep in my crate, and will run into it to hide sometimes during the day.

I sleep well through the night and I’m doing well on houise training, but I am still a puppy so an occasional accident could happen. If you are looking for a sweet and loving new family member and are willing to work with me, then I’m the pup for you! Allison 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 $425.

Smokey, a Pomeranian

Meet Smokey! Smokey is a 5 year old male Pomeranian. Currently he weighs almost 6 pounds and is on a diet to increase his weight. He arrived to us when his owner was no longer able to care for him. His foster Mom says he arrived to her a quiet boy and as time progressed he has become a very forthright and vocal character. He loves to chase squirrels, the cat if he can get it to run and all things in his fenced backyard. He is ok on a leash and is not a fan of crates. He is house trained and will use a wee pad. Smokey is working on not mouthing hands when he is excited and we are making progress, so a forever home with no small children is needed. He will require a home with zero shared walls because he is vocal when we leave the house.

Smokey loves his fur friends and would like to have friend(s) who can assist him learning socially acceptable ways to have a good time. We are working on how to not be on high times excitement when playing and how to come when it’s time to exit the fenced in yard. Smokey is a happy camper and will need to work consistently on basic commands. He loves treats and food time. Smokey is a vibrant, tiny happy nugget of fur and looking for a home with minimal alone time. If you have room for a big character in a tiny package Smokey is the one for you! Smokey is neutered, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative, microchipped and has had his teeth cleaned! Smoke is fostered in the Orlando area and his adoption donation is $400.

Henrietta, a Shih Tzu/Terrier mix

Please note: Henrietta is not hypoallergenic and does shed.

Meet Henrietta! Henrietta is a 2 month old Shih Tzu/Terrier mix puppy. She currently weighs about 4 pounds, but is still quite the growing pup. While we expect her full grown weight to be under 25 pounds, we can not accurately predict that, so if you need a pup guaranteed to be a specific size, she is not the pup for you. Henrietta and her litter arrived in rescue after they were surrendered by a family could not properly care for them. They have since been raised in loving foster homes (the litter is not all in the same foster home) and are thriving. Henrietta is still very much a puppy and learning all of her life skills, so she will need a family that is up for that long term.

That means house training, leash training, learning what to chew and not chew, continued socialization and positive reinforcement. Her foster mom says: Meet Henrietta! This tiny firecracker has a big personality and isn’t afraid to show it. She’s full of sass, smarts, and spirit — the total package! Henrietta loves to romp around with the big dogs in her foster home and insists she can keep up with them every step of the way (and honestly, she can!). Fearless and curious, she’s always ready for an adventure and refuses to be left out of the fun. When the day winds down, Henrietta is all about comfort — she’ll snuggle into the pillows and sleep soundly through the night, even sleeping in on lazy weekend mornings. She’s friendly with other dogs, adores meeting new people, and is doing great with house training — using her piddle pads like a pro. Smart, playful, and full of heart, Henrietta is the perfect mix of sass and sweetness. Henrietta 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 $450.

Beaux, a Shih Tzu/Terrier mix

Meet Beaux! Beaux is a 1-2 year old male Shih Tzu/Terrier mix and he weighs about 9 pounds. He arrived in rescue after coming from a home with too many dogs that could not properly care for him. He has settled into foster care nicely and is thriving! Please know Beaux is NOT "hypo-allergenic". His foster parents say: Beaux is a tender hearted little guy with a sweet, old soul. He can be shy at first with new people and new environments, but once he feels safe, he blossoms into a cuddly, playful companion who loves being near “his” people. He adores plush toys and proudly brings them to you as his way of asking to play. He’s great at fetch and reliably returns his toys. As a puppy, he does play-mouth hands and wrists—he’s gentle, but young children may find it startling. Beaux has a fun, goofy side (hello, zoomies!) but also loves quiet time on his bed or curled up next to his humans. He’s just learning to enjoy lap time during cozy TV evenings and gives lots of kisses—though he hasn’t given face kisses yet.

Good boy qualities:
• Walks well on a harness
• Shy but not barky around strangers or dogs
• Loves exploring the world through sniffing
• Enjoys baths and lives for the blow dryer
• Not a big barker, but will alert when needed
• Makes the cutest little squeaky noises when playing

Housetraining:
He uses a pee pad well but sometimes misses when he needs to poo. He’ll need continued outdoor housetraining and socialization in his new home.

Sleep:
He currently sleeps in his own bed next to his foster’s bed. He’d happily sleep with you, but he hasn’t been allowed to get used to that just in case his forever family prefers otherwise.

Separation:
Beaux will do best in a home where someone is around most of the time. He has mild separation anxiety and will whine when his person leaves but usually settles quietly in his bed.

Beaux is a sweet, sensitive little pup who is ready to give his whole heart to the family who gives him a chance. He can’t wait to meet his forever people. He is neutered, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative, microchipped and has had his teeth cleaned. Beaux is fostered in the Orlando area and his adoption donation is $400.

Benson, a French Bulldog

Meet Benson! Benson is a 5 month old male French Bulldog puppy and he weighs about 12 pounds. He is still a growing puppy though and will get bigger. Benson arrived in rescue when his previous owner was unable to keep him. He is a "fluffy" Frenchie and came from a pet store (from a puppy mill breeder). "Fluffy" Frenchies are essentially a mutation and can come with some genetic issues. Benson does have some mild vision issues as a result. He can see, but not always "clearly" so he can be hesitant when in new surroundings as he gets the "lay of the land" so to speak. Frenchies do tend to be a medically expensive breed to own though, and previous Frenchie experience is highly preferred. He is a very sweet boy though and is ready to find a forever family up for all things puppy.

That includes house training, leash training and continued socialization. His foster mom says: Benson is an active playful pup who loves to be outside with us. He enjoys sunning himself or just munching on sticks or twigs or leaves (we take them away as quick as he can gather them though, lol!) He is content to spend his day snoozing in the office with his foster mom while she works. He snores (typical Frenchie) and it can be loud. LOL Benson gets along well with other dogs but is not a big sharer when it comes to his food. He is not a big barker and typically only barks when playing. Benson 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 $550.

Mimi, a Shih Tzu/Maltese mix

Meet Mimi! Mimi is a 3 year old female Shih Tzu/Maltese mix and she weighs about 11 pounds. She arrived in rescue after coming from a home with too many pups that could not properly care for her. She has settled into foster care nicely but is ready to find a family to call her own. Her foster dad says she would like to introduce herself: Hi, my name is Mimi. I’m a super sweet and very friendly little girl, but I tend to be skittish at first until I get to know you. Once I feel safe and comfortable, I LOVE cuddles and attention from my human.

I also get along well with older children and other dogs once I’m comfortable with them. If I’m not napping, you can usually find me playing and cuddling in my free time. I am house trained but can have an occasional accident due to nervous piddles. I am working on my crate training and sleep well through the night. So, if you’re looking for a loving and playful new friend who is full of personality, you should definitely pick me! Mimi 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.
