Story

Apply to Adopt Me! Meet Sidney a young and very handsome boy. He is an approx. 3yo, 8lb. long-hair chihuahua mix with shiny brown and black fur. When he first meets you, he is very shy and scared, running away and hiding for safety. But after some time, patience, and understanding he now feels safe with his foster mom and fur siblings, where he realizes love, warmth and contentment. He is now even doing zoomies! He gets along so well and loves each of his foster siblings, all small dogs like him, and they play, wrestle and chase each other in the yard. Cuddling is his favorite past time. Although it took some time, he has learned how to trust, and his personality is really coming out. His house training is a work in progress, so his person must be home to let him out at least every two hours, and yet sometimes he will still go potty in the house. He hasn't learned to walk on leash yet, and is terrified of it, so for that reason he does need a fenced yard. He is not a big barker and rides well in a car. He is not a big player with toys, but does enjoy chew bones. He loves to sleep cuddled up right next to his foster mom where it’s warm and cozy. He insists on getting lots of kisses before going to bed, then he sleeps quietly all through the night. Sidney needs to be in a home with another dog that is confident and will cuddle with him and make him feel safe. Sidney will need someone who can give him time and patience, and not pressure him until he is ready (you must fight the urge to pick him up and cuddle his adorableness until he’s comfortable and ok with it). Once he has that time to settle in and feel as if he can trust you, he will be your best friend, and you will find out what a good boy he is. Due to his skittish-at-first nature, we are preferring an all adult home for him. He is a barker so apartment or condo living may not be best for him. His adopter must realize that Sidney has some serious fear issues, is very fearful of anyone who comes in the home, he will run and hide and bark the entire time the visitor is there. If you live in the Central Florida/Orlando area and believe you have the perfect home for Sidney, complete an app and tell us more about your family. February 24, 2026, 3:22 am

Story

Meet Winston! Born into FLUFF in January 2022, Winston started life surrounded by care and love. Adopted as a puppy, we had high hopes for his happily-ever-after. Sadly, nearly three years later, Winston’s family surrendered him back to the rescue in January of this year. While we always welcome FLUFF animals back with open arms, Winston’s return broke our hearts. With time, patience, and love, Winston has made incredible strides. He’s learning that life isn’t so scary after all! Winston would thrive with an experienced foster or adopter who can continue helping him build confidence, offering structure and obedience training. His ideal home will be calm, patient, and kind, providing the stability he needs to flourish. Due to his nervous nature, Winston would do best in a home without children, where he can receive gentle and understanding care at his own pace. He’s also on a weight-loss journey, working toward shedding about 15 lbs. to become a healthier, happier pup. Could you be the one to help Winston continue his transformation? Whether through fostering or adoption, you could change his world forever. https://www.fluffanimalrescue.org/adoption-application Adoption fee includes neuter, microchip and registration, all age appropriate vaccines and preventatives through adoption date! Thanks for considering adoption! *Information deemed reliable, but not guarenteed* ##1367757##

Story

Hi, I’m Abby! Ive had sweet little Enzo for about 8 months, I got him from a private breeder at around 6 months and paid 2500$ for him. Enzo is super loving & has lots of energy, he loves to run/play in the back yard. When he’s not playing he’s trying to cuddle around your neck, he is the true definition of a lap dog. My only real reasons for rehoming Enzo is, I broke my wrist a couple months ago. I’ve had surgery since then so it’s been extremely difficult to care for him during this time. Since i’m able to work again, I have now been working a lot of hours so I don’t get to spend as much time as I’d like with him. I’d like to find him a home with other dogs or kids and definitely a fenced in backyard so he can run as much as his heart desires. I’m willing to meet up to introduce him to other dogs in the family or just you. He loves people!!
