Story
Looking for a new home for Belle. We purchased her at 8 weeks old and were told she was a Maltese Yorkey mix. As she grew we realized she was probably not either of those. She was purchased for my 79 year old mom and is too energetic for her. She is still nipping as puppies do and my mom is on blood thinners and this doesn’t work well. When she stays with me, she does not do this behavior as we are firm with her. She is sweet when you spend time with her and loves to play outside. We have a fenced in yard and she stays out all day with no issues or on the porch if we have bad weather. She is kennel trained for night time and/or day trips. She doesn’t need a leash and like's being with people. She was born July 1, 2024. We got from an owner. She is being spade this week as that was as soon as we could do it due to her age.

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
Approximately one year old German Shepard mix. Likely mixed with bully breed. Eager-to-please, pack driven, and trainable. Very high energy, super cuddly, just needs attention and training to thrive. Still working on not chewing things so recommend crating when unattended. Needs an experienced handler with training experience preferred. Fenced in yard with room to run and fetch and play a must!

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.

A big goofball! His person(s) have to have the physical ability to handle this boy & his best home does not have children or cats and not multiple people. Very loving boy who is a Volunteer favorite. Seems to be good with other dogs except for huskies (read up on his breed`s `job description`).
