Story
Meet Pollo Frito! This laid-back boy is the king of relaxation—he loves to nap, soak up the sun, and enjoy life at his own pace. But don’t be fooled by his chill vibes—when the mood strikes, he’ll entertain himself with zoomies and playful antics! Pollo Frito has a soft spot (literally) for cozy surfaces and an even softer spot for cream cheese—his absolute favorite treat. He walks well on a leash but might voice his opinion about bikes and motorcycles. While he took some time to warm up to his people, once he did, his big personality came shining through! Pollo would thrive in a home without other dogs where he can soak up all the love and attention. If you're looking for a relaxed, quirky, and independent pup to brighten your days, Pollo Frito is your guy! Pollo Frito had complications following heartworm treatment. Caval syndrome was suspected and there may be residual cardiac damage. He is currently on two types of medications called Sildenafil and Vetmedin. While he is at the HSNCF, his medication and his continued care are supported by a generous anonymous donor through our Path to Adoption Fund.

Story
Skittles came into rescue because his elderly owners decided that they weren't the best fit for Skittles. Skittles mom was on oxygen and Skittles was so clingy that he would get tangled in her tube and they were worried that she or his dad would trip over him and her tubes. They have his brother also but the brother can be more independent than Skittles and listens better. They were becoming frustrated with Skittles and his behavior. He would also come in and potty on the floor, after being outside. Skittles would whine, bark and cry if he was not getting their attention. They, admittedly, gave more attention to the better behaved brother so it is possible that Skittles was just acting out in a negative way. We have not really seen him behaving poorly here. He does whine to come in when outside because it doesn't seem like he wants to be out there any longer than need be. He is crated at night and has not made any messes in his crate. He has been with other small dogs (males and females) and gas done fine with them. He is kind of a wall flower, though, and is not overly playful. He prefers to sit off by himself, unless it's dinner time. Although he was not raised around children, he seems to be fine with them...at least older kids. We probably would not advise he go to grabby children/toddlers as we are not sure how he would react. He hasn't been around cats, to our knowledge but he seems like he would do fine with them, with proper introductions. We were told that he would scream on car rides but we did not experience that bringing him home or taking him to the vet. He rode fine for us. Skittles is leash trained also and despite being a poor fit for his elderly parents, has been well cared for. We believe he would do great in a home where he can be with his family most of the time. He is not overly active so a slow paced home would be fine with him. He is overweight (obese, actually) and could stand to lose several pounds to prevent future back issues, which can be very problematic for dachshunds because of their long bodies. Skittles is a very sweet boy who just needs a family who can put their all into him because he will put his all into them. Skittles saw the vet on 10/27/25 and was found to have no issues. He has been started on Simparica Trio for flea control and heartworm prevention with us and had a negative heartworm test in January of 2025 with his original family. They had him on Negard Plus. He also had a negative fecal in January of 2025. We did not retest him since his family kept him current on the Nexgard Plus monthly, which has a dewormer built in. Skittles weighed 23.1 pounds as of 10/27/25. He is very obese and needs to lose several pounds. We are working on helping him lose a few but his new family will also need to continue to get his weight down for his future health and well being. He is fully vetted now and ready to find his forever family. If interested in giving Skittles his forever home, please submit your interest and your adoption application via email or text ONLY to 352-215-3260 (phone calls will not be answered or returned from this number). Skittles's adoption fee will be $400 to help cover the cost of his vetting and daily care while with us. We will only consider applicants who complete the adoption application and will determine whether the applicant would be a good fit for Skittles based on the info provided in the application. If we feel that you will be a good match for him, we will set up a meet and greet appointment with you.

Story
Rescued from the forest area, this little girl is lucky to be alive! She is timid and sweet. The good Samaritans that found her had to trap her because she was so afraid. She is doing well with love and kindness and we are working on finding her a forever family. She is young.  With adult teeth but possibly still under a year.  Bailey will need a fenced in property as she is a flight risk.  She is shy at first and scared to trust.  Once you earn her trust she is a silly girl.  She ADORES cats and loves to play with both dogs and cats.  She is a happy little girl but it is evident that she has not lived a happy life before coming to us.  Every new noise, anything new that you introduce her to scares her.  She will need an understanding home. ##2345741##
