Story

We are devastated to have to rehome our beautiful 6 y/o havanese/cavalier King Charles, Sasha. She weighs about 15 lbs. We rescued her at 1 y/o. She is very sweet and cuddly and loves attention once she is comfortable with you, but does not like to be picked up. Unfortunately, she has some behavioral issues. We had gotten to a point where her aggressive side was manageable, but the unpredictability of our small children just makes this a bad environment for her. She will bite. She is very smart and trainable. She graduated from a board and train program at Sit Means Sit and can go back anytime for free group lessons. Sadly, she also has a bad back. This has been manageable with monthly Adequan injections, medication, and monthly chiropractic visits, but costs us about $180 a month. Please consider saving this beautiful baby!

Molly

Mutt Labrador Retriever

Female, Young

Merritt Island, FL

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Needs special attention, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

I adopted Molly on May 1, 2021. She is a Pitbull mix and weighs 67 lbs. She has severe separation anxiety and I almost cured her of that by taking a towel, wiping it all over me and she sleeps with it, along with stuffed duck. She is very lovable and loves to be snuggled. However, we found out this past two weekends that she cannot be around small children. My children came home from the military after three years away, with a 6 and 3 year old, Molly was very aggressive towards the children and wouldn't back down. She can only be in a home where there are no children. We thought that if we let her be with them with their dad, she would calm down and it made the situation such that she went for the baby's face. I called the sheriff department and they told me that I had to rehome her. I cannot have them in danger.

Joey Fishsticks

American Pit Bull Terrier

Male, 1 yr 10 mos

Central, FL

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Joey was rescued from Orange County Animal Services just hours before he was scheduled to be euthanized. He is just a puppy--a year old--and just fun, affectionate, eager-to-please, and loves to play with other dogs. He's quite docile, will take a submissive role with alphas and happy to be around other pups (has been fostered in a home with other foster dogs and does well with all). He has a sad face that we hope will lighten up in a loving home of his own but he is a happy boy just waiting for his forever home to choose him. The adoption fee is a donation to the organization with recurring donations of any amount preferred to help us maintain our rescue services.

Mink

Staffordshire Bull Terrier American Pit Bull Terrier

Details

Story

Mink is an affectionate, young, energetic, and gorgeous girl with a zest for life who loves to run, jump, fetch, and play but will also Netflix-n-chill after some exercise! She was almost euthanized at Orange County Animal Services but we got her into a loving foster and now a talented trainer who is working with her to become the most adoptable companion! She will benefit from continued training (included with The Everyday Trainer in Orlando or Tampa which we have already paid for) and an experienced adopter.
