Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Elsa is a 2 year old, 7 lb, white Shih Tzu-terrier mix. She is spayed, heartworm negative, and up to date on her vaccines and monthly preventatives.
Check out Elsa's full profile before submitting an application, this snow queen has specific requirements: https://www.fawnssmalldogrescue.org/adoptable-dogs/elsa
Elsa is the last dog from the January 2025 hoarding situation. As the least socialized, Elsa's anxiety and timid nature made it hard for her to trust that humans wanted to care for her.
After a lot of love, patience, and hard work from our fosters - Elsa is now medicated and thriving! She no longer hides behind her foster siblings and started actively play and engage with them. It is truly a joy to see!
Like many dogs with her background, Elsa prefers to be a pack dog. She's been doing well with house and potty training. She will follow the other dogs and go potty outside in the yard.
Elsa is continuing to come out of her shell. Her ideal home has patient and loving adopters with a pack of two or more similarly sized dogs, some of whom around her age. She requires a home with at least two dogs who like play.
Elsa must have a securely fenced yard, she needs a tall fence that she can't slip out of or climb over. She needs an adult only home. She does fine with cats, she mostly ignored her prior foster kitty sibling.

2.
Approve Application
We review applications on a rolling basis. We do a vet, reference, and background check. Then a foster interview.
3.
Meet the Pet
If you are the right fit, you will meet the dog during a home visit. If you have pets, we help facilitate an appropriate meet and greet.
4.
Sign Adoption Contract
Ideally at the end of the home visit you sign the adoption contract, provide your adoption donation, and your 7 day adoption trial starts.
Additional adoption info
We do our best to select the family and home that we feel is ideal based on the unique needs of each dog. Adopters must be 21 years or older.
As we are a foster-based organization our adoption radius is 150 miles from Jacksonville, FL.
Our adoption donations range between $175 to $450 depending on the age and medical expenses paid out for each dog while in rescue. All donations go back to our foster dogs and their care.
Fawn's does a veterinarian and reference check. Your application will be denied if the animals you own are not properly vaccinated, neutered and spayed, and up to date on their heartworm and other preventative medications.

Fawn's Small Dog Rescue is a 501c3 not-for-profit organization based in Florida. We are dedicated to saving lives of forgotten dogs in shelters and rescue other stray, abused, or forgotten dogs in Florida.
Our rescue dogs are placed with caring foster families until we find them a qualified permanent loving home. All our dogs receive complete veterinary care, socialization, compassion, nourishment and rehabilitation while in Fawn's Foster Program.
We believe every dogs broken spirit can be mended. We hope to help educate the public on spay/neutering, controlling pet overpopulation and proper animal care.
