Story
Joey was rescued from Orange County Animal Services just hours before he was scheduled to be euthanized. He is just a puppy--a year old--and just fun, affectionate, eager-to-please, and loves to play with other dogs. He's quite docile, will take a submissive role with alphas and happy to be around other pups (has been fostered in a home with other foster dogs and does well with all). He has a sad face that we hope will lighten up in a loving home of his own but he is a happy boy just waiting for his forever home to choose him. The adoption fee is a donation to the organization with recurring donations of any amount preferred to help us maintain our rescue services.

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.

Story
We are devastated to have to rehome our beautiful 6 y/o havanese/cavalier King Charles, Sasha. She weighs about 15 lbs. We rescued her at 1 y/o. She is very sweet and cuddly and loves attention once she is comfortable with you, but does not like to be picked up. Unfortunately, she has some behavioral issues. We had gotten to a point where her aggressive side was manageable, but the unpredictability of our small children just makes this a bad environment for her. She will bite. She is very smart and trainable. She graduated from a board and train program at Sit Means Sit and can go back anytime for free group lessons. Sadly, she also has a bad back. This has been manageable with monthly Adequan injections, medication, and monthly chiropractic visits, but costs us about $180 a month. Please consider saving this beautiful baby!
