Story
Everyone meet NOVA! Paisley was the first to engage with me out of the 8 girls & Nova was the 2nd. :) Nova is a 4-year-old, 5 lb Yorkie that came from an overpopulated hobby breeder in crisis that had passed. She has been spayed, current on her vaccines, & chipped. Most dogs in that environment are unsocialized to new people/new things & can be very unsure & timid. NOVA will need a very patient adopter that will give her time to acclimate to her new world as she may be very skittish & stand offish those first few days/weeks. Once she connects with you, she just has to be near you at all times. She can be a little vocal if she starts to miss you so condo/apartment/townhome living may not be most ideal for this precious girl. She is a flight risk so will need a home that has a secured, fenced in yard that is not metal (she is so tiny, she could actually slip right thru it) or chain link as some of the others from this group are climbers. You will also need to be mindful of doors that lead to the great outdoors (2nd barriers are highly recommended - baby gates are wonderful). She's only been on the leash a couple of times & although she froze at first, she did come to me as I called her but she has been with me for 3 weeks so she has a little connection & leash walks may take a bit of time for her to be ok on them. Interested in NOVA & feel you have what it takes to give this special girl the love & patience to teach her that that the world can be not so scary with you by her side? Definitely fill out an application to be considered. Also be sure to go to our Facebook & read/watch this post before applying: (look for the post with the red‼️) https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1Bj9vWLY2J/? Our adoption radius is 150 miles from Jacksonville, FL. All other pets in the home must be current on their vaccines, spayed/neutered & on heartworm prevention.

Story
Chance is 2 years old born Feb 10 2022. He is so loving and sweet but paranoid when it comes to loud sounds and will bark often. Listens well and understand sit/ lay down/ and treat treat of course. His favorite treats are the soft milk bone treats. He lovvveess watermelon. I wish I could keep him forever because he brings me and my children great joy. I’ve had him since he was born. But with my schedule I can’t give him all the attention he needs. And training he needs when it comes to getting along with others he does not do well with new people so it will take him time to get used to someone new I pray that I find someone who is deserving of him. Because he deserves the best. When you meet him he will bark a lot just a heads up and be afraid of you but with time and love he will grow to love you as he did with me and my kids. I will say that chance has trust issues and is not as friendly when meeting people he doesn't know he will bark constantly to show he's big when he's 100%small

Story
Danger is 13 year old Yorkie mix. He is heartworm negative, up-to-date on vaccines and monthly preventatives, and was neutered on March 7. Danger and Shotgun were surrendered to us when their person became too sick to care for them. They are not bonded and will be adopted separately. Don't let his name fool you, the devastatingly handsome Danger is as sweet as pie! While independent he will seek you out for cuddles and pets. This distinguished senior loves to be loved and will smile at you if you sweet talk him. Darling Danger is leash trained and a delight to walk. He enjoys exploring the yard or hanging out in the house. He is house and crate trained. Danger is a gentle soul despite enduring the frightening experience of being attacked by large, albeit, toothless dog. Additionally, Shotgun has been known to bully and hump Danger, who is smaller and more submissive. Danger deserves a fresh start in his new home with a darling family who adores him. Ideally with someone who is home with him most of the day to let him out to the yard or go on delightful short walks. Dearest Danger could be a solo dog or have similarly sized, friendly doggie siblings. This dearheart seems to be afraid of kitties. In his previous life, he did well with dog savvy, respectful children.

Story
Rudy is a 5 yr old 12 lb. Yorkshire Terrier whose favorite activity is sitting in his person's lap and just being near them. He likes to play with toys and go for walks. Rudy is shy around other dogs until he gets to know them and then is just fine. This little Yorkie would love a home where he is king, but is willing to share with a playful friend. Rudy is fostering in the Northeast area of the USA. Please visit our main site for more information or to apply to adopt.

Story
Annabelle is a 2.5 year old female Lhasa Apso that is NOT a lap dog!! Please do not reach out about her for your 70 year old grandmother who needs a companion. She is not that girl. Picking her up is an absolute NO!!! Picture her as a 150 Great Dane whom you wouldn't pick up. If she were a cat, her behavior would be acceptable. (Needless to say, when she poops herself, it can be a real adventure which is why she is currently on a chicken & brown rice diet only drizzled with homemade yogurt!!) Yes, she is adorable. >>> B U T <<< She has learned that if she grumbles & bites, she gets left alone & essentially, gets her way soooo that means, you WILL need to enlist a trainer that is well versed in behavioral. This is a MUST & will be mandatory for adoption unless you show that you yourself are well versed in training & working with snarky pups. She absolutely LOVES to learn & has been doing exceptionally well with clicker training. Absolutely loves it & is so smart! Her attitude has forced two families that loved her to give up on her. She can't be failed again. She is a very insecure dog that has unwanted behaviors. She CAN be rewired if YOU commit to giving her the right environment & providing yourself with the RIGHT EDUCATION to help her shine. She can live with another small dog but if she had her say, she would like to be the only dog. She needs an active family because she needs her car rides to the park for her walks as walking around a neighborhood is just too overstimulating. She will come to you for playing & when she wants pets but you need to keep the interactions brief & FUN to engage & encourage her to want more. On the plus: She does great at the groomers & the vets office with no issues at all. Now - if you feel you can commit to Annabelle's education & love clicker training an insecure dog, PLEASE APPLY to be considered. Adoption radius is 150 miles from Jacksonville, FL.

Story
*Meet Diesel: A Loving Senior Companion Seeking a Calm Home* He is an 11-year-old Maltese/Shih Tzu mix looking for a quiet home where he can enjoy his golden years. Diesel was purchased from a breeder 11 years ago, and although he's lived a full life, he is now ready to settle into a more peaceful environment. Diesel has a sensitive side, which includes some separation anxiety. Because of this, he's best suited for a home where he can be the center of attention and receive the patience and love he needs. Diesel does tolerate other animals, but he can be a bit cranky, especially if he feels threatened or overwhelmed. He does better with older kids who understand that he needs space. He would be the perfect companion for a family or person who is looking for a devoted friend to spend their days with. He is very smart and listens well to commands.
