Cocoa, FL
Size

Details
Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
We acquired her on craigslist. She was listed as a German Shepard wolf mix. We have been put in a situation where we believe it would be better for someone with more time to be able to care for her. She will be a year old in February. Looking for an active person. She is great when running on a leash. A decent size yard, or dedicated place for her to free roam a little is ideal. She is an extremely curious pup. Very playful and loves to be around things that give her attention. She is still a puppy right now so she still has puppy tendencies (nipping, jumping up on people, rambunctious occasionally.) She is protective but not aggressive. Does not bark at anyone, not even the mailman. Sometimes will howl at full moons and when she hears police sirens. The $50 is for the listing fee. Any questions, feel free to ask.

Cocoa, FL
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Rylo has been my best friend for about 5 years now. He’s has been a loyal and very protective companion. But with the birth of my son and another child on the way, we have a hard time allowing my son to really interact with Rylo because kids are rambunctious and at the end of the day, a dog is a dog. So I’m looking for someone who at least has some knowledge of the pit bull breed and can give Rylo a better home than what we’re allowing. He’s great with people but has some dog aggression. He insist on dominating any dogs he comes across. But he would moke a great addition to a home that doesn’t already have pets.

Zeus

Papillon American Eskimo Dog

Male, Senior
Cocoa, FL
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Good with dogs, Needs special attention, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Zeus was rescued from a home where he was crated and put in a diaper on and off for a few years. We have been fostering him for a few months now and he is sweet, affectionate, and so deserving of a calm home he can be loved in. Because of his past he has behavioral issues like randomly peeing in the home, and nipping at strangers wheb he FIRST meets them. If he doesnt nip right away, it won't happen. I do not know the last time he was taken to the vet but he is rumored to be around 13 years old. He doesnt show aggression being handled or groomed. The only time he lashes out is meeting new people and being disaplined for peeing. We use a spray bottle instead, that seems to work ok. He does well with children, the last home he was in had a 2 year old with no incidents. He ONLY bites new people and ONLY once. Its bizzare, I think a PTSD response from his past. We have 2 dogs and chickens that have not had a problem with him at all. He also does great on walks.

Sasha

Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Havanese

Female, Adult
Merritt Island, FL
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

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!

Tigger

Catahoula Leopard Dog

Male, Young
Merritt Island, FL

Story
Tigger is a happy soul. He is affectionate and loves to snuggle and be near people but hates going on walks. We have had him since he was a puppy. We have two other dogs and as he has grown, he doesn't always get along with the middle dog, especially when trying to herd her. However, his eyes sparkle when he plays with a horse ball or in the hose doing back flips through the water and will play to the point of exhaustion. He has a heart as big as his size. He's named Tigger from Winnie the Pooh because he's bouncy, flouncy and fun! His beautiful brindle coat even has stripes. He is strongly motivated by treats and loves peanut butter and honey. He will thrive in a single pet household and will provide unconditional love.
