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. He is super food motivated. He comes with food, toys, all supplies, two crates and dog seat. Due to my move and work hours, and living situation I cannot give him the attention he deserves or keep him.

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.

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.

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

Arthur

Cocker Spaniel

Male, 10 yrs

Cape Coral, FL

Size

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

Details

House-trained, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Hi friends! I’m Arthur, a 10-year-old cocker spaniel mix boy with a gorgeous coat and a full tail that wags non-stop! I’m 30lbs of pure sweetness looking for my happily ever after. My story is pretty wild – I was found as a stray in an overcrowded California shelter the week before Christmas, and I was pretty sick. But a Good Samaritan couldn’t leave me behind, rescued me, and brought me all the way to Florida where I was nursed me back to health! Now FCCR is helping find me my forever home. I LOVE people (including older dog-savvy kids) and would do best in a calm household where someone’s around most of the day. I’m a total lovebug who adores being with my humans! I will roll over for belly rubs whenever anyone talks to me…even in an elevator and that’s how I greet my foster mom when she comes home. It’s my signature move…i roll over to collect my tummy tax! That said, I do fine when left home alone too. I’m fully housebroken, polite (no barking or chewing!), and I have excellent house manners. I wait to be invited onto furniture and take treats so gently. I love to explore, love to run, and love to cuddle. I get along with other calm dogs but don’t know about cats. I walk great on a leash even near busy streets, and I’m super chill – loud noises don’t faze me one bit! Here’s what you need to know about me: I have great hearing but have limited vision (blind in one eye, limited in the other). I am a pretty confident guy and I can map out my surroundings quickly but I’m not comfortable with staircases (a few steps are fine). I take daily eye drops like an absolute champ! I Because of my eyesight, I would do best with a calm doggie sibling who doesn’t mind me getting really close to them. Conversely if a dog startles me by getting too close (even just to be friendly) I may bark and retreat — it can be a little scary when someone is in your face. You know, personal space and all. Oh, and I just learned how to play and did my first zoomie – talk about living my best life! Could you be the forever family this sweet senior has been waiting for?
