Story
Mink is an affectionate, young, energetic, and gorgeous girl with a zest for life who loves to run, jump, fetch, and play but will also Netflix-n-chill after some exercise! She was almost euthanized at Orange County Animal Services but we got her into a loving foster and now a talented trainer who is working with her to become the most adoptable companion! She will benefit from continued training (included with The Everyday Trainer in Orlando or Tampa which we have already paid for) and an experienced adopter.

Tooley

American Pit Bull Terrier

Male, Adult
Cocoa, FL
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained,
Story
Tooley is a 7 yr old pure bred American Pitbull Terrier. He is a super loving and sweet boy. He is well trained and behaved. He loves to be loved and played with and take walks. He is both house and crate trained. He does well with kids and adults. Understands commands and has the ability to learn more. Unfortunately, my schedule has become super busy and I am unable to provide him with the kind of love and attention he needs. Looking for nothing less than an awesome and loving home for him. Although he is not aggressive at all, an experienced pitbull owner would be best.

Zeus

Papillon

Male, Senior
Cocoa, FL
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Good with dogs, Needs special attention, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Zeus was rescued from a home where he was crated and put in a diaper on and off for a few years. We have been fostering him for a few months now and he is sweet, affectionate, and so deserving of a calm home he can be loved in. Because of his past he has behavioral issues like randomly peeing in the home, and nipping at strangers wheb he FIRST meets them. If he doesnt nip right away, it wont happen at all. I do not know the last time he was taken to the vet but he is rumored to be around 13 years old. He doesnt show aggression being handled or groomed. The only time he lashes out is meeting new people and being physically disciplined. We use a spray bottle instead, that seems to work ok. He does well with children, the last home he was in had a 2 year old with no incidents. He ONLY bites new people and ONLY once. Its bizzare, I think a PTSD response from his past. We have 2 dogs and chickens that have not had a problem with him at all. He also does great on walks.
