Story
Walter is not your average shelter dog—he’s a bold, opinionated guy with a lot to say and a whole lot of heart for the right person. He can be bossy and loud, especially when he’s excited or has something important to announce. One thing is non-negotiable: Walter LOVES toys. Loves them. Collects them. Buries them all over the yard like priceless treasure. He can get a little obsessive about them, so an adopter who understands boundaries and structure will be key. Walter does have stranger danger and needs time and patience to build trust. He isn’t the kind of dog who falls in love at first sight—but once he forms a relationship, his softer, more affectionate side starts to shine. The bond you earn with Walter is a special one. Because Walter does best with slow, thoughtful introductions, he is available by appointment only. Please call the shelter to check availability and set up a meet-and-greet.

Story
Apply to Adopt Me! This handsome guy is Maverick aka Shadow! His name is strong and regal, and it is very fitting for this amazing German Shepherd. He may be full GSD, and looks to be, but since we don't know, we are calling him a mix. This approx. 4-year-old, 60-lb. boy is always alert and knows your every move. He is a protector of his family. His beautiful brown eyes give looks of adoration at times and a gentleness that submits to petting and loving. His eyes and ears show the intensity for his devotion to carrying out his purpose in guarding and loving his forever family. He is very intelligent, as we have seen Maverick adapt to his foster home quickly. Maverick loves to cuddle and lay beside you on the sofa or the floor, wherever you are, he will be there. He wants to always be near his family. When you chill, he chills!  sleeps through the night and gently wakes in the morning when his foster parents get up. Maverick does not bother anything in the home. He loves to play ball, but that is best done outdoors, because he gets too excited in the house. Maverick was found as a stray and ended up in the shelter. He loves playing with other dogs around his size. Maverick is a joy to walk around the neighborhood and to take on hikes. He doesn’t pull on his leash and is always happy to accompany you. He’s great in the car as well. We have not observed him around children, but he has walked in busy areas and hasn't reacted to anyone. He is so affectionate that sometimes he’ll lay his head on your lap or yelp to get your attention. He likes to play with interactive toys inside and would definitely like to play ball outside in a fenced yard. True to the GSD breed, Maverick is a guard dog and will bark to protect his family when strangers come to the door or enter the home. He is currently undergoing board and train to better equip him to handle these situations and is doing so well.  We are requiring an adopter with GSD or similar experience. His adopter should have a secure minimum 6ft. fenced yard. Maverick can't wait to find his forever, active family. If you live in the Central Florida/Orlando area and believe you have the perfect home for Maverick, complete an app and tell us more about your family. January 31, 2026, 9:41 pm

Story
Apply to Adopt Me! Needed: Foster-to-Adopt for Chance Meet Chance – Your Loyal, Goofy Companion! Chance is a 3-year-old, 90lb. German Shepherd with a heart full of love and a playful spirit. He’s already completed training, has wonderful manners, and comes with continued training support to help him succeed in his new home. This sweet boy is great with other dogs and loves to play. He can be a little shy with men at first, but warms up quickly and will soon show off his goofy, affectionate side. Chance is eager for a home where he can be both your loyal companion and your best adventure buddy. Chance’s journey hasn’t been easy—he was found as a stray and narrowly escaped being euthanized at a training facility in north Florida due to lack of space. Thankfully, his future is now bright, and he’s ready to start the next chapter in a foster or foster-to-adopt home. He will be fully vetted in his foster home prior to adoption, so he’s ready to move in and be part of your family. All Chance needs now is someone to give him the love, security and companionship he’s been waiting for. Could that someone be you? Chance loves toys, is house trained, crate trained and walks well on leash. He has not been exposed to cats while with our rescue. He needs a secure fenced yard and someone with GSD experience is preferred. If the home has kids, it's best they be 12 or older. If you live in the Central Florida/Orlando area and believe you have the perfect home for Chance, please complete and application and tell us more about your family.

Story
Apply to Adopt Me! Who couldn’t use a little more sunshine and happiness in their life? Gouda is an approx.10yo German Shepherd Dog ready for her retirement home. This sweet lady smiles with her eyes. Not only is she gorgeous, but our girl is a total sweetheart - we’ve never even heard her bark. Lil Rascals pulled her from the shelter as an owner surrender right before her euthanasia date. Those years of neglect are behind her and now she’s so ready for you to provide the love. She is so tail-waggy. Calm, quiet, housebroken, and easy to take care of. She could stand to gain a little weight, and is currently around 56 pounds. She eats really well, but needs soft food (she’s been on a combo of soaked senior kibble and canned food, plus soft treats) because of her teeth. She’ll have a dental before she goes to her forever home. We expect she will only have a few teeth left so soft food will continue. She is perfectly crate trained and sleeps quietly through the night (and lots of naps during the day too). She will be happy to lay near you for Netflix and chill time. She seems dog friendly with slow introductions. She hasn’t been around small children but would probably be fine with respectful ones. She’s great with the teenager in her foster home. She moves a little slow, her back legs are weak, maybe arthritis, which she takes inexpensive daily supplements for. Single story living is necessary as stairs are difficult for her to maneuver. She does not need a fenced yard, but does like to sniff outside and come in pretty quickly, so a yard is required. Leash walks need to be slow and short because of her hind legs. We really can’t overstate how easy she is to take care of. Her foster mom gave her a bath with the water hose on a warm day and she loved it. She loved the water and being scrubbed. She’s super soft but definitely sheds and should be brushed regularly. She also might enjoy a swimming pool. She put her front paws on the top step before her foster intervened as it was much too cold, an she may need help getting out! If you live in the Central Florida/Orlando area and think you may be a match for this special senior, please complete an application and tell us more about your family. February 3, 2026, 3:13 pm
