Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Looking for a loyal little shadow who loves cuddles and kisses? Liora might be your perfect match! This affectionate 4-year-old Chihuahua mix is happiest when she’s close to her person and would love a home where she can share lots of snuggles and cozy naps.   Liora’s Highlights: •  Very affectionate and loves giving kisses •  Knows sit, stay, and stop • Crate trained • Enjoys enrichment games and treat puzzles • Loves being near her person and cuddling     ------------------------------------------------------------------3/6 foster update: Liora, called Pookie, weighs just over 20 pounds and has a sturdy little build, making her a wonderful medium-size companion. She is a Chihuahua/Dachshund mix with a beautiful sable coat with big brown eyes. She is well behaved and not destructive—she doesn’t chew on things she shouldn’t and is very easy to live with. She is very sweet and loves to kiss you to show her love. That includes resting on your bare feet. She is gentle and loving and loves to cuddle with you. Her favorite thing to do is to nap alongside you. She does pull strongly on the leash, especially for a senior like me without a lot of strength. Loud outside noises (including cars zooming by) scare her, and she will suddenly pull away and can easily pull you off your feet. She’s  a smart girl who already knows several commands and is eager to please. When it’s time to relax, Liora is more than happy to curl up beside you for a nap. She is not comfortable around unfamiliar, unleashed dogs. She can pull and bark at other dogs and her that bark can turn into a growl, so we are careful not to allow her near other dogs she doesn’t know. I would recommend her as the only dog or with a calm, submissive canine. A fenced backyard to keep her safely within her boundaries would be ideal as she is startled by new sounds and people.  Liora is a gentle, loving girl whose tail is almost always wagging. She simply wants to be close to her person and share her affection. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will fill your home with love, Liora may be the perfect match for you. ALL IN ALL, she is a great dog, easy to love, gentle, loving and wants to be with you no matter what or where. We love taking care of her and hope her new owners will love her gently and fully, for she deserves a very loving home.   Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.May 11, 2026, 8:18 pm

Story
Apply to Adopt Me! Meet Louie, a 13 to 15-year-old, 11-pound Chihuahua with a sweet, independent personality. Louie may be a senior, but he still has some spunk! One of his favorite things is heading outside to do his “happy laps” around the yard, and he’ll often get bursts of happy energy after a good meal or nap. Little by little, Louie has come out of his shell and is constantly surprising his current foster. Previously thought to not be interested in toys, he recently started showing interest! He may not be interested in playing with other dogs, but Louie absolutely knows how to enjoy himself and brings a quiet joy to the home. Louie likes being near his people and part of your day, but he’s not overly demanding or clingy. He’s more of a calm companion than a lap dog—happy to nap nearby, wander the yard, or quietly keep you company. He gets along with respectful dogs who allow him his space and would do best in a peaceful, low-key home environment. He doesn't love being alone for long periods of time, but does well on his own for a few hours. We don't believe Louie is used to going on regular walks, but he does well on a leash and has really seemed to enjoy the occasional short walk with his foster mom. That said, he’s perfectly content getting his exercise and outdoor time by leisurely sniffing and exploring the yard, so daily walks don’t seem necessary for him to be happy. Louie really enjoys spending time outside and would love a home with a secure yard where he can comfortably wander, explore, and do his beloved laps. Louie has stage 2 kidney disease, which is currently very manageable with his prescription kidney diet and regular potty breaks. Because of this, staying hydrated is important, and Louie does a great job with this! Regular potty breaks help him feel his best. Louie is mostly housebroken and has been doing very well settling into a routine. He much prefers going outside and genuinely does his best to wait, but his water intake can make that tough sometimes. The only occasional accidents he’s had with his current foster have happened when no one was home to let him out in time. Otherwise, Louie handles his business in the yard like a pro and seems quite proud of himself when he does. Louie has been great about sleeping through the night, but will occasionally need a middle-of-the-night potty break. He will hop out into the yard for a potty break, and then run back inside and right back to bed, where he usually sleeps until his foster mom is up. Car rides make Louie nervous, and he can be vocal while traveling. He would be much happier relaxing at home than tagging along for road trips. Outside of the car, he is a very easygoing little guy. He has a good appetite, loves chicken treats, and is simply a really easy little guy to love. His foster mom says he's an absolute pleasure, and seeing him come out of his shell over the past few weeks has been a true joy. Louie came to Lil Rascals Rescue when his owners were moved to a long-term care facility. He has diminished vision (mostly outside in bright light), but he gets around very well and can definitely still see—well enough to chase a small lizard! His hearing is fading, though he recognizes certain familiar sounds, especially anything involving the backyard door opening. He appears to have had dental work not too long ago, and it was discovered that he has an oronasal fistula. It does not seem to cause him any discomfort and he currently has no symptoms, but he will need to remain on a soft diet. Due to his age, Lil Rascals has decided not to put him through surgery for the fistula. Louie is looking for a comfortable, quiet, all-adult home where he can enjoy his golden years with people who appreciate a sweet senior dog with an independent spirit and a surprisingly playful side. If you believe you have the perfect home for Louie, please complete an application and tell us more about yourself.May 12, 2026, 2:05 pm

Story
Apply to Adopt Me! Meet Tink. This sweet little girl is super chill and eager to meet her new best friend. She is approx. 6 years old and weighs 11lbs. Her owner passed away and she had nowhere to go. Tink is a very loyal, low-maintenance companion with a low-to-medium energy level and is completely content to sit by herself and watch you while you do your chores, lay in her bed by your feet or sit with you on the couch. She is house trained and will let you know when it is time for a potty break. She is happy hanging out at the house with you and is not a flight risk as she enjoys following you around. She will take cues from you when it’s time to come inside after potty breaks or sunning herself in the yard. Tink is typically quiet but will bark through the fence when the neighbor’s dog is out or someone walks by her yard; she does not chase and stays close to her foster mom. She will alert you to danger when someone knocks at the door but settles down nicely after a few moments or after they come inside. She walks well on a leash and does not alert to other activity but currently has free range in a fenced yard. She is eager to be with her human and responds to her name. She is very food motivated and will happy dance around for you while you prepare her meal. When you arrive home this cheerful pup will greet you with all her excited attention while she parades around your feet until you say hello and give her a proper greeting. Tink’s short legs still allow her to jump onto the couch on her own, but she waits patiently for her human to assist her up and back down from the bed. She sleeps in the human bed peacefully throughout  the night. She will quietly wait for you to tell her it is time to get up even after you snooze the alarm several times. Her submissive nature will warm the toughest heart and make bath time a breeze as she patiently goes through the process and will allow you to brush her long golden coat. She is not a fan of the blow dryer though. Tink gets along with other dogs and cats and hardly pays any attention to them as she would rather watch what is going on with her person. She occasionally will softly growl at a foster sibling whose interfering with her one-on-one attention time from her foster mom but does not show aggressive behavior. Due to her shy and reserved nature, she is best with small and medium breeds. Large dogs seem a bit intimidating to this Southern gal, she tends to hide from larger dogs, but could become comfortable if properly introduced. She occasionally will play with a crinkle toy but it's not a big part of her day. Tink does have some fear and anxiety on car trips and trembles until the destination is reached. She has not been around children while with our rescue and she is not crate trained.  If you live in the Central Florida/Orlando area and believe you have the perfect home for Tink, complete an app and tell us about your family.May 12, 2026, 2:05 pm

Story
Apply to Adopt Me! Meet the most handsome guy in town, Chipper also known as Chippy! He’s an approx. 12-13-year-old, 10-lb. black and white, long-haired chihuahua mix. But he certainly acts younger! Chippy had a rough start to life, but with love, care and understanding he has come a long way. When he first came into the rescue, he was very scared, unsure, and not trusting of people. He will still growl sometimes when he is unsure but has specific cues he gives to let you know he feels safe and it’s okay to pet him. He enjoys being cuddled and sitting with you on the couch from time to time, but he really prefers his personal space. He absolutely loves playing with squeaky toys, they’re his favorite! He gets along well with his fur siblings, he plays with them here and there, but generally doesn’t have much interest in them. He loves to go on walks, he’s fully house trained and sits quietly riding in the car. Chippy sleeps in his foster parents bedroom at night in his big comfy bed. Chippy is still learning that people can be trusted, and that he can be loved and feel comfort where he lives. He’s beginning to realize life is good and is becoming a bouncy boy who gets excited when you come home or when you’re ready to take him for a walk. He’s an absolutely adorable little boy. The more love you give this little guy the more he responds. He can't wait to find a loving home that will help him live his happiest life. Chipper needs an all-adult home. He’ll need someone who has chihuahua experience, who understands he may always be timid at times, and won't be discouraged or intimidated by his independant, and sometimes growly, demeanor.  If you live in the Central Florida/Orlando area and believe you have the perfect home for Chipper, please complete an app and tell us more about you.  May 12, 2026, 2:05 pm

Story
Apply to Adopt Me! Bindi is an adorable approx. 3-year-old, 18-lb. terrier mix with a big personality packed into a small, athletic frame. With her expressive eyes and sun-loving spirit, she’s the perfect blend of playful energy and total cuddle bug. Personality & Energy: Bindi is full of life and loves to play—especially tug-of-war (she definitely doesn’t like to lose). She has a strong prey drive and will happily chase squirrels, sometimes even trying to follow them up a tree! She’s also super athletic and can jump impressively high. Social Life: Bindi gets along with dogs of all sizes and is also good with cats, but she does not require another dog in the home—she’d be just as happy soaking up all the attention as your one and only. Habits & Training: Fully house-trained. Crate-trained (but does great without needing it). Walks well on a leash and loves her walks—she gets excited the moment the leash comes out. Knows commands like sit and off. Non-destructive and easy to have around the house. Loves sunbathing in the backyard. Total cuddle bug—she loves laying on you and soaking up affection. Loves car rides safely tethered in.  Has the cutest quirk: she tries to “hide” her toys from her foster brother… but usually just leaves them in plain sight.  Things to Know: Bindi can be jumpy when she’s excited (like when you get home or before walks), so she’d do best in a home without very young kids or with someone comfortable managing an enthusiastic greeter. She can also be a little mouthy during play (no harm intended), so continued reinforcement of gentle play would be helpful. She’s also a bit vocal and will bark at outside noises. When meeting new people or dogs, Bindi can come off as intense or reactive at first—this is her way of adjusting and testing boundaries in a new environment. She may do an “alpha-style” display initially and can react strongly, so slow, structured introductions are important. With a little time and patience, she relaxes and becomes friendly, playful, and even best friends—as seen with dogs she was unsure about at first. If you live in the Central Florida/Orlando area and believe you have the perfect home for Bindi, please complete an app and tell us more about you.May 12, 2026, 2:05 pm

Story
Sammy is a sweet 6–7-year-old dog who has been a beloved part of our family for the past 4 years. He has a gentle, loyal nature and loves being close to his people. Recently, Sammy suffered a spinal injury that left him unable to walk on his back legs. He is currently incontinent and requires daily care, including wearing diapers. Specialists have recommended surgery that could help him walk again, but the cost is unfortunately beyond what our family can afford. My mother, who is 72 and has health challenges of her own, loves Sammy deeply but is no longer able to provide the level of care he now needs. We are hoping to find him a compassionate home—ideally someone experienced with special needs pets—who can give him the care, patience, and love he deserves. This is a very difficult decision, but we want the best possible future for Sammy. He is a loving, resilient dog with so much love left to give.
