Story

Princess is a stunning 50-pound Catahoula-Pit mix with a lean, medium build. She is incredibly loving and loyal, with a goofy, playful personality that will keep you smiling every day. Despite her sweet nature, Princess carries some scars from her past, which make her cautious and a bit skittish around certain people. Because she struggles with sudden movements, Princess would do best in a home without cats or small children. What she truly needs is a patient, understanding person who can give her the time, space, and reassurance she deserves to feel safe and build trust. Once she lets you into her heart, you will have a devoted best friend and a truly special companion for life.

Yorkie, Yorkshire Terrier Shih Tzu

Male, 1 yr

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.

Taco

Chihuahua Xoloitzcuintle/Mexican Hairless

Male, 4 yrs

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

Reggie

English Toy Spaniel

Male, 5 yrs 2 mos

Cape Coral, FL

Size

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

Details

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

Story

Hello there, lovely humans! I’m Reggie, a stunning 5-year-old, 15-pound tri-color English Toy Spaniel boy, and yes, I AM as gorgeous as that sounds! We English Toy Spaniels are known for being devoted companions with those sweet, soulful eyes and silky coats, and I’m here to tell you—the hype is real! My first three years weren’t great—I lived in a cage, which wasn’t exactly the royal treatment a spaniel of my caliber deserves. BUT! I’ve spent the past year in an amazing foster home learning what life is really supposed to be like, and wow, what a glow-up! I’ve got excellent house manners now (yes, I’m THAT sophisticated), and I’m finally ready to find a forever family! Wanna get to know me? —I get along great with other dogs and cats (I’m basically a social butterfly with fur). —I’m not a fan of kids—I prefer my humans to be of the grown-up variety and I prefer women over men so I am looking for an all-female family. —I am leash-trained and walk very nicely on a leash. —I know several basic commands…I’m a smarty! —And cuddles? I LIVE for cuddles! If you’re looking for a snuggle buddy who will stick to you like velcro, I’m your guy! A few important things about me: —I can get a little protective over my food bowl so I need to be fed separately from other pets. No biggie, just give me my own dining space and we’re golden! —Please no crates—I’ve done my time in cages and now I want to lounge on soft beds and couches like I deserve! —I’m afraid of loud noises and storms and will crawl under things (like a bed) to hide. Do you have room in your heart (and on your couch) for a cuddly English Toy Spaniel who’s ready to embrace all the love life has to offer? Let’s see if we are a match.

Georgie

Cocker Spaniel

Cape Coral, FL

Size

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

Details

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

Story

Hi ya, I’m Georgie! I’m a 4-year-old, 26 lb Cocker Spaniel boy, and I’m basically a fun-loving goofball wrapped in a beautiful coat! Let me tell you about myself! I’m the kind of guy who lives life at full speed with maximum enthusiasm. I’m happy, playful, and I LOVE being in your face because you’re just so awesome! When I’m in the yard, I turn into a silly acrobat—I run around like a whirlwind, jump up to get your attention, and chase lizards like it’s my Olympic sport! Spoiler alert: I haven’t caught one yet, but that doesn’t stop me from trying! I’m good with other dogs and would absolutely LOVE an active doggie sibling to match my energy and keep up with all my shenanigans. I have good house manners and I don’t mind the crate. I’m super excited to ride in the car (road trip buddy right here!), and I’m very food motivated, which means training with treats is going to be a breeze for us! Full transparency: I pull on the leash because I just get SO excited about everything, but with some leash training from my new owner, I’ll be walking like a gentleman in no time! Here’s the important stuff: I need a cocker-savvy adopter or family who understands my breed and can handle my high energy and enthusiasm. I’m not a good fit for homes with kids—I need a household that can give me the structure and attention I thrive on. If you’re looking for a silly, playful, lizard-chasing companion who will keep you laughing and on your toes, I’m your guy! Visit www.floridacockerrescue.org to apply! ADOPTION FEE: $350
