Story

Joey is a fun, lovable 5yr old. He is crate trained and enjoys his crate. Hes a very clingy guy. He loves to be by your side and loves attention. Hes good with cats and dogs. Hes excellent with children. He needs to be walked or have a fenced yard. He probably could really use another dog companion. Hes not good driving but seems OK up front in his seat for short distances. For long distances he needs to take dramamine. He hates his nails clipped and may try and bite the person cutting. Its a two person job. One petting and distracting and the other cutting. He struggles listening to commands. He knows them but doesnt always listen. He loves to jump on people. He pulls on the leash. He loves dental chews and expects them every morning as a treat. He is super food motivated. He comes with food, toys, all supplies, two crates and dog seat. Due to my move and work hours, I cannot give him the attention he deserves.

Story

Oreo was found as a puppy in Miami under an abandoned trailer. He was an unknown breed at the time, now at 1 year old has become too large for the house with elderly. He is strong and has caused accidental falls during times of excitement/playtime. He does not have good brakes during zoomies and can tumble people. He is house and crate trained. But does not walk well on a leash. He has lived with two other dogs (chihuahua and shepherd) and got along very well. Just needs some obedience and consistency in his life. Fully vaccinated and current on prevention.

Details

Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Hello, friends, my name is Oliver! I’m a 1-year-old, 9lb Yorkie Shih Tzu mix (Shorkie) boy, and I’ll be honest – my start in life was rough. I was found by the side of the road, discarded like I didn’t matter. Because of that, I’m still learning to trust and I can be unsure when meeting new people and other dogs — proper introductions are a must. My amazing foster mom is working with me on this, and I’m making progress every day! I’m doing okay with my older female foster dog sibling, but I may do best as an only dog where I can get all the attention. I don’t know about cats yet, and I need an adult-only home – no kids for me, please. I sleep in bed with my foster mom at night and love lounging on the couch during the day because comfort is life! I am pretty sure I am what you call housebroken. I haven’t learned yet how to tell my humans when I need to go potty, but I know I can learn. For now, if you take me out frequently, I do great with no accidents. I do okay on a leash but need help building my confidence when seeing other people and dogs…I would really prefer a home with a fenced-in yard to run and play and so I don’t need to go on many walks. Crates are ok and I know they keep me safe when you’re not home. They are also helpful because…now here’s the fun part: I’m still ALL puppy! I’m a chewer who loves my favorite toys, so you’ll need to puppy-proof your home and protect your favorite things. Fair warning! I need a patient, experienced adopter who understands I’ve been through a lot and will give me time to heal and grow. I’m young with so much potential – I just need someone who believes in me. Is that YOU? Apply to adopt me here: www.floridacockerrescue.org Adoption fee: $395

Taco

Chihuahua Xoloitzcuintle/Mexican Hairless

Male, 4 yrs 1 mo

Cape Coral, FL

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Hey there, I’m Taco! I might be small at 10 pounds, but I’ve got a BIG story to tell! I’m a 4-year-old Chihuahua-Xolo mix looking for my forever human who understands that the best things in life take time. Here’s the real deal about me: I’m what you might call “cautiously optimistic” about new people. I know I seem super shy at first - I might even hide behind my favorite toy or retreat to my trusty crate. But here’s my secret… once I decide you’re MY person, I become the most loving, snuggly shadow you’ve ever had! I’m looking for someone special - a patient soul who won’t rush me but will let me bloom at my own pace. In return, I promise to show you what true loyalty looks like. I’ll play with ALL the toys, bring you endless entertainment with my puppy energy, and give you the sweetest cuddles once I trust you completely. I get along great with other dogs (they help me feel brave!) but I’d prefer a home without little humans - sometimes their quick movements make this pequeño guy a bit nervous. My ideal day? Playing with squeaky toys, hanging out with my dog friends, and slowly but surely stealing your heart one tail wag at a time. Could you be the patient, understanding human I’ve been waiting for? Let’s find out…complete an application through the FCCR website, www.floridacockerrescue.org. ADOPTION FEE: $300

Jellybean

Havanese

Male, 11 yrs

Cape Coral, FL

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

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

Story

Woof! I’m Jellybean, a 11 yo, 14lb Havanese mix boy. I ended up at a local shelter after 10 years with my previous family… not sure why, but the nice ladies here at FCCR scooped me right up and said they would find me a wonderful new home for my golden years! My age may be senior but I’ve got the energy of a dog half my age! Here’s the scoop on this good boy: I’m what the humans call “nearly perfect” (I don’t like to brag, but they’re not wrong). I LOVE other dogs and LOVE playing in the yard with them. A playmate in my forever home would be pawsome! I have excellent house manners (I’m housebroke) and an absolute dream in the car – road trip, anyone? I’m great with humans of all sizes, including tiny humans (kids!). Cats? Never officially met one, but I’d probably just ignore them – I’m too busy being adorable. When I’m not zooming around outside, you’ll find me snuggling on my favorite dog bed. Speaking of beds, that’s where I sleep at night like the gentleman I am. Oh, and did I mention I’m in great health? This senior’s got plenty of good years ahead!
