Story
At 13 years young, Douglas has perfected the art of enjoying life’s simple pleasures — and he’s hoping to find someone to share them with. This charming little Chihuahua mix may be a senior on paper, but don’t tell him that. Douglas still has plenty of pep in his step and absolutely lives for his daily walks. The moment you reach for the leash, his spunky personality shines through, ready for adventure and fresh air. When he’s not out exploring the world, you’ll find him soaking up sunshine like a tiny solar panel, happily stretched out in the warmest patch of light he can find. And when it’s time to relax? Douglas is a professional snuggler. He has a delightful ritual of circling and arranging his blanket just right before curling up into the coziest little ball you’ve ever seen. Sweet, curious, and incredibly devoted, Douglas is the kind of dog who becomes your constant companion. He’ll follow you from room to room, simply wanting to be near his person. Not clingy — just lovingly loyal. And when you do have to step out, he’s perfectly content holding down the fort at home like the good boy he is. Douglas doesn’t need much — just gentle walks, sunny spots, soft blankets, and someone to love. In return, he’ll give you unwavering companionship, quiet affection, and a heart full of gratitude. If you’re looking for a sweet, soulful little sidekick to share your days, Douglas is ready to follow you home. PLEASE NOTE: All your current pets must be spayed/neutered, vaccinated and on heartworm prevention to adopt from Polka Dogz. We only adopt in Florida. All adoption fees go to help all the dogs in the rescue, some of which require extensive medical care. Thank you for caring for the greater good.

Story
Kennedy is a unique and resilient pup who’s still figuring out how to trust. He’s had a rough start, but underneath his uncertainty is a dog who truly wants love—he just needs patience and the right approach. This guy is house-trained (no accidents here!) and crate-trained, settling in without complaint at night. He also does well in a playpen when left alone for short periods. He loves his toys, especially Nylabones and balls, but can be a little possessive with them. Kennedy enjoys being near his people - he follows them from room to room, wags his tail to show his feelings, and even gives kisses. He may ask for affection by bumping against you or jumping in your lap but then growl or nip when actually petted. Kennedy knows "come" and "sit", but treats (especially chicken!) help him stay engaged. He’s leash-reactive when it comes to putting it on or taking it off, especially around his neck, but once he’s walking, he does well - though 15 minutes is his max before he’s exhausted. He clearly has a history of being fed from the table and will wait at mealtime for a better offer- but don’t fall for it! Kennedy needs an experienced, patient adopter who understands that trust takes time. His ideal home is one where: He can continue learning boundaries in a structured environment, touch and handling are approached with patience and care, he has a predictable routine and a safe space to retreat when needed, and he’s allowed to bond at his own pace - on his terms PLEASE NOTE: All your current pets must be spayed/neutered, vaccinated and on heartworm prevention to adopt from Polka Dogz.

Story
Lindor is a sweet 6-month-old Chiweenie who is still learning that the world can be a wonderful place. He’s working on building his confidence and would love a patient family who will give him the time and encouragement he needs to blossom. Lindor would do best in a calm, peaceful home with another confident, friendly dog to help show him the ropes. He would also do best with older, calmer children who understand that he may need a little extra time to feel comfortable. Once Lindor feels safe and secure, we know his sweet personality will shine! If you’re looking for a little guy to love and are willing to help him build his confidence, Lindor may be your perfect match.

Story
Don't let her age fool you—8-year-old Etta still has plenty of pep in her step! This adorable Chihuahua mix is as sweet as they come and loves nothing more than curling up beside her favorite people for cuddles and companionship. If you're looking for a loyal little shadow, Etta is ready to fill that role with all the love she has to give. Etta gets along wonderfully with both cats and dogs, making her an easy addition to many homes. She does have a low-grade heart murmur that is well managed with daily medication, but it certainly doesn't slow her down or dim her cheerful spirit. With her affectionate nature, happy personality, and love for being close to her family, Etta is ready to spend her golden years showering her forever family with unconditional love. Could you be the one to give this precious girl the forever home she's been waiting for?
