Story
🐾 Meet Pete! 🐾 Age: 2–3 years Breed: Dachshund Mix Weight: 26 lbs Size: Small Pete is a one-of-a-kind little guy with an adorable long body and an even bigger heart! At just 26 pounds and fully grown, he's the perfect size for apartments, condos, townhomes, or just about any home looking for a loyal companion. Pete is a very sweet boy who is still learning that the world isn't so scary. After spending too long in the shelter, he's understandably a little timid at first. But once you start petting him, you'll quickly see his affectionate side—if you stop, he'll gently nudge your hand to ask for more! ❤️ Every day Pete is becoming more comfortable in his foster home, and we expect his personality to continue to blossom over the next few weeks as he settles into a loving environment. Pete's Highlights: 🐶 Sweet and affectionate 🐶 Great size for apartment or condo living 🐶 Good with other dogs 🐶 Good with men and women 🐱 Appears to be cat-friendly (he's actually a little intimidated by the cat in his foster home!) Medical: ✔️ Neuter scheduled for Thursday, July 9 🏡 Ready to go to his forever home after his neuter on Thursday, July 9! If you're looking for a gentle, loving companion who's ready for a fresh start, Pete may be your perfect match. Apply to adopt at: www.mysaltydog.com

Story
Her name is Beba, and she is a sweet dog who deserves another chance. I got her when my sister was incarcerated, as Beba was originally her dog. Unfortunately, Beba has a history of being abused and was bitten by larger dogs, which has affected her trust and behavior. With patience and love, I was able to crate train her and help her overcome food aggression. I truly believe Beba can be an amazing dog with the right person and environment. She has experienced difficult situations and has not always had the care and stability she needed. She was returned to my sister after she was released, but since then Beba has started showing signs of aggression again and does not do well with other dogs. My sister recently got a new puppy, and Beba is not adjusting well to sharing her space. We are desperately looking for a new home for Beba where someone can give her the patience, structure, and love she needs. She still has so much potential and deserves the chance to be loved.

Story
Hi! I'm Nova, and my life story sounds a little made up—but I promise it's true.I started out as a stray puppy in Okeechobee before finding a family of my own. Then, despite everyone being absolutely certain it couldn't happen, I somehow ended up becoming a mom after befriending the family's very unfixed Great Dane. Apparently nobody informed us that size differences were supposed to matter. Oops.After raising my puppies like a champ, my family found themselves overwhelmed with a move and all the responsibilities that come with a surprise litter, so they made the difficult decision to bring us to H.A.L.O. so we could find loving homes.Now it's my turn.If you're looking for the friendliest dog on the planet, I would like to submit my application. I love people, dogs, treats, walks, playtime, and pretty much every living creature I meet. I'm housebroken, have wonderful manners in the home, and when my people leave, I patiently wait for them to come back. If left alone for a very long time, I might have an accident, but I truly do my best to hold it.My favorite hobby is pretending I'm a lap dog. Am I slightly too big for that job description? Maybe. Has that ever stopped me? Absolutely not.I'm young, happy, affectionate, and ready to trade my surprise-motherhood era for a lifetime of belly rubs, adventures, and a family to call my own. Come meet me—you'll see why everyone falls in love with Nova.Requirments: Martingale CollarAll of our dogs and cats are spayed/neutered, up to date with age appropriate vaccinations, heart worm or feleuk/FIV tested, fecal tested, rabies and tag, and microchipped before being placed in your home. Our adoption fee helps cover this cost.

Story
***Local adoption only: Fiona needs to be adopted by a family in the Central Florida region (Orlando area) who will commit to taking her to follow-up vaccinations and spay (at the appropriate time) with PPR's vetting partner.  The cost for these is covered in the adoption donation.*** Hello! My name is Fiona and I am a Chi-weenie (Chihuahua Dachshund) blend girl.  I am 11 WEEKS old, and I weigh 4.6 lbs.  Just like Princess Fiona in the movie Shrek, I am fierce, spicy and like to be the leader.    I am all puppy with my enthusiastic “wiggle-butt”, playful nature and adventurous ways.  I would love to find my “fur”ever home with a human who can teach me about this great big world.  I promise not to be an ogre, and my huge personality and dramatic ways should provide hours of laughter and entertainment.     Favorite Things: Toys are Fiona’s first love, and she simply cannot get enough of them.  She also loves to play with her brother Felix (they are currently being fostered in the same home).  At night, they turn into little gremlins and love to wrestle, play and do zoomies.  She also loves to give kisses. She is in her “puppy chewing” phase, so must be supervised or kept in a secure area.  Training & Manners:  Fiona is working on her house training and will need a patient owner who can provide frequent and consistent potty breaks.  She has not been on a leash yet, so will need to learn about that from her owner.  She is accustomed to wearing a collar (a cat collar at present because she is so tiny).  Fiona is food motivated which should lend itself nicely to basic training.  She tolerates a car ride. Health and Care: Fiona is up to date on vaccines, but will require boosters, as well as her spay at the appropriate time.   The cost of these is covered in her adoption donation and they will be scheduled at one of PPR’s vetting partners.  Fiona  should not need any elaborate grooming but will just require nail trims and an occasional bath to make her look and feel her best.  She does have floppy ears, so weekly ear cleaning should be a part of her regular routine. Other Animals:  Fiona is currently in a foster home with larger dogs and her brother Felix (who she loves to play with).  She would do great in a home with another small, playful pup (maybe even Felix?).   Fiona plays quite energetically, which might not suit older, laid-back dogs.  She has not been tested with cats and would need slow introductions to any feline friends.  Please keep in mind that she is a puppy with lots of energy, so not all cats may be excited about that. Children: Fiona has not had experience with children.  Due to her tiny size, she will do best in a home with respectful, older children (8+) who are supervised by the adults in the home.  Ideal Home: Fiona can be quite vocal and tends to cry when left alone.  For this reason, a single-family home would be best. She will need lots of playtime and exercise to work out her puppy energy.  She would do best in a home where someone is home more often than not (especially as she continues to work on potty training).  When home alone, Fiona does fine in a secure area and after a day of play, she is content to dream away in her own secure space. Overall: If you are looking for an affectionate, adventurous girl, Fiona could be the perfect match for you.  With consistent training and gentle guidance, she has all the potential to become a loyal, loving companion. Do you think Fiona could be the one for you?  If so, please visit www.PoodleandPoochRescue.org and submit an adoption application. If it looks like a good fit, her foster family will reach out with more information. Her adoption donation is $550.    ##2718974##

***Local adoption only: Fletch needs to be adopted by a family in the Central Florida region (Orlando area) who will commit to taking him to his follow-up vaccinations and neuter (at the appropriate time) with PPR's vetting partner.  The cost for these is covered in the adoption donation.*** Hello! My name is Fletch and I am a Chihuahua Dachshund blended boy.  I am just 11 WEEKS old and I weight 5.3 lbs. of pure love! I am an extroverted social butterfly who loves to give kisses (puppy breath is the best) and explore my surroundings.  Plus, I am stinking adorable!  Favorite Things: Fletch is “all puppy” and  loves to play and can’t get enough toys in his life.  Training & Manners:  As a young puppy, Fletch has been hard at work on his house training.  He starts each morning doing his “business” outside and is showing great success with potty training when on a regular, consistent schedule.  He is a very smart puppy and comes when you call him.  Fletch has not had experience with leash walking yet, so will need someone willing to work on leash skills, as well as basic manners.  He tolerates a car ride. Health and Care: Fletch is up to date on vaccines, but will require boosters, as well as his neuter at the appropriate time.   The cost of these is covered in his adoption donation and they will be scheduled at one of PPR’s vetting partners.  Fletch should not need any elaborate grooming but will just require nail trims and an occasional bath to make him look and feel his best. Other Animals:  Fletch is currently in a foster home with his sister Felicity and  loves to play with her.  He would do great in a home with another small, playful pup.  He has not been tested with cats, but we think he would be okay with them after a slow introduction. Children: Due to his tiny size, Fletch will do best in a home with respectful, older children (8+) who are supervised by the adults in the home.  Ideal Home: Fletch would do well in a single-family home, apartment or condo.  He will need lots of playtime and exercise to work out his puppy energy.  He would do best in a home where someone is home more often than not (especially as he is learning house training).  When home alone, Fletch does fine in a secure area and after a day of play, he is content to dream away in his own secure space. Overall: If you are looking for an affectionate, adventurous and clever boy, Fletch could be the perfect match for you.  With consistent training and gentle guidance, he has all the potential to become a loyal, loving companion. Do you think Fletch could be the one for you?  If so, please visit www.PoodleandPoochRescue.org and submit an adoption application. If it looks like a good fit, his foster family will reach out with more information. His adoption donation is $550. ##2718978##

Story
I am full time caregiver for my Dad. Rudy is my parents sweet baby. My mom spoiled him and she has passed away and my dad has Alzheimers. I can no longer care for both. Rudy loves everyone and needs a more active home. Dad keeps saying to put him to sleep. I hesitate because he is sweet but he does have allergies and is overweight due to being spoiled! I take him every month for his allergy shot but doesnt seem to help. I think he is depressed. Please find a fun acrive rehome!
