Story

Koda is a one year old small Chihuahua mix with the softest little heart. He was pulled from a shelter just before euthanasia, and while the world has felt a bit big and overwhelming for him, this gentle boy is slowly learning what safety and love look like. Koda is timid and very sensitive by nature. He is not the kind of dog who will rush up to strangers, but give him a little patience and something truly special begins to unfold. Once he trusts you, he becomes the sweetest little shadow. He melts into cozy spots, stays close to his person, and shows just how much love he has been holding inside. He would thrive in a quiet, calm home where he can continue building confidence at his own pace. Another friendly, gentle dog in the home would mean the world to him and help him feel more secure as he settles in. He does best with kind, patient humans who understand that the shy ones often love the deepest. Koda is a soft soul with so much love to give. With the right home and a little time, this sweet boy will blossom into the most devoted companion. If you are looking for a gentle little buddy to grow with and love deeply, Koda may be your perfect match. ##2666409##

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Important Information for New Puppy Parents Mint adopted Welcoming a new puppy into your home is an exciting and rewarding experience—but it also comes with important responsibilities. To help your puppy grow into a happy, confident, and well-adjusted adult dog, dedication to obedience training, socialization, and consistent potty training is essential. We strongly recommend that the entire family participates in puppy training classes. This not only helps build a strong bond with your new pup but also ensures that everyone is using the same commands and techniques, creating a clear and consistent environment for learning. **Puppies thrive with structure, patience, and positive reinforcement—and so do their families!

Story

Apply to Adopt Me! Meet Clint - a very cute, playful and happy boy. Clint is a 6-year-old Chi mix weighing 13 1/2 pounds. He loves playing with his foster fur buddies in the yard chasing each other and doing zoomies. Clint is so affectionate and a little kissy face once he warms up to you and steals your heart. He loves to cuddle right next to you with three of his other fur friends on your lap. He just loves other dogs and would do best in a home with an outgoing and confident companion who can show him the ropes. Clint came from a sad situation where the first half of his life he knew very little of the outside world, so as a result he’s a bit of a nervous Nelly. He is incredibly smart and loves to work, so this little guy would love a home and job! His greatest love is chewing on his knuckle bones and he will do anything for a treat. Clint has been doing very well with his house training and is now house trained. Clint is fearful and has not learned to walk on a leash as of yet, so he does need patience and training for that. And since he doesn't walk on leash yet, he does need a fenced yard so he can run and do his business. He is a good car rider, riding quietly. He sleeps quietly all night and needs to cuddle with other dogs. Clint needs to be in a home with another fun and active dog. He has met a cat and was scared of her. Clint is shy at first meeting, but warms up with time, love, and cookies. He is a great little dog and looks forward to his loving, forever home. If you live in the Central Florida/Orlando area and believe you have the perfect home for Clint, complete an app and tell us more about you. February 23, 2026, 3:15 am

Meet Comet! Comet is a 1-year-old Standard Poodle weighing 60 pounds of pure fun and love! One of my absolute favorite breeds, Standard Poodles are incredibly smart, loyal, athletic, and full of personality — and Comet is all of that and more.This happy, goofy, water-loving boy is playful, sweet, and just an all-around good pup. He’s been around both small and large dogs, as well as multiple cats in his previous home, and has done great with everyone.Be warned… he is an “in-your-face” kind of guy! He LOVES giving hugs and being close to his people. If you want a dog that will adore you loudly and proudly, Comet is your boy. 60 pounds Knows “sit” Gives paw Crate trained Great with other animals Water loverComet has only been groomed once in his life, so he will need continued grooming practice and regular maintenance (as all Poodles do). Grooming typically runs $125–$200 every 6 weeks depending on coat length, so please keep that in mind when considering a dog like him. This breed requires commitment to proper coat care.Because of his intelligence, energy level, and grooming needs, adopters must have experience with Standard Poodles or a similar high-maintenance, intelligent breed.If you’re looking for a fun, affectionate, playful companion and understand the responsibility that comes with this amazing breed, Comet is ready to shine in his forever home!
