These three sweet souls are part of a group of 10 small dogs we recently rescued from a heartbreaking situation. They spent their early lives confined to crates under a carport and inside a metal shed, with very little human interaction and no experience with leashes or life indoors. Because of that, the world is still a little scary—but their hearts are very much open.
Krackel (the tiniest scruffy girl), Cadbury (a taller, gray scruffy girl), and Lindor (a white and tan Chihuahua mix boy) are all about 1.5–2 years old and under 20 lbs. Though timid at first, they want to trust. They gently approach for affection, happily accept treats, and show us every day that they’re ready to keep learning—at their pace.
They are sweet, sensitive dogs who will thrive in calm, patient homes with people willing to let trust grow naturally. Once they feel safe, their affection is incredibly rewarding 💕
Their ideal home:
- No young children (they’re not aggressive—just scared of loud, fast movements)
- Ability to safely crate them if young kids visit
- Another friendly dog to help build confidence
- A quiet, secure environment
- A solid fenced yard is strongly preferred
- Krackel & Lindor may do okay in an apartment or townhome with very secure leash routines
- Cadbury is the most fearful and truly needs a calm home with a fenced yard
They are all:
✔️ Spayed/neutered
✔️ Vaccinated
✔️ Microchipped
✔️ Heartworm negative
📍 Located in Sarasota, FL
💲 Adoption fee: $350 each
These little ones have been through so much, but they are ready to write a new chapter—with their people. If you believe love, patience, and consistency can change a life (or three), they’d love to meet you.
