Story
JJ was brought to us a stray, but the owner surrendered him due to him being a very jealous type. He has a very high prey drive! JJ can walk on a leash, his previous owner said he is crate trained. He has some training but is a selective listener. JJ enjoys agility, car rides, climbing, digging, fetch, running, toys, tugging, walks, and water...loves water and swimming. He is afraid of loud noises, thunder, and fireworks. Described as lap loving, curious, and active. Medium-high activity level, somewhat reliable to come when called, and a low-medium vocalization.

Story
***Local adoption only: Stetson needs a family in the central Florida region (Orlando area) who can commit to taking him to his final puppy vetting appointments with PPR's vetting partners. The cost of this appointment is covered in her adoption donation.*** Hi, I’m Stetson! I'm a 2-month-old Jack Russell - Border Collie blend. I currently weight just 4.5 lbs, but we're not sure how big I'll grow to be. What I do know is that my fosters tip their hats to me and call me a "dream pup" and "one of the easiest they've ever fostered." Favorite Things: Stetson is a playful, active, curious, happy puppy who likes to play with other small- and medium-sized, active dogs. He also loves his meals and gobbles up his dry puppy food quickly and easily. Training & Manners: As a puppy, Stetson will need someone who is at home more often than not during his early months to help train him, to let him out frequently, and to raise him into the fine gentleman he's supposed to be. He's already got some great manners: after a long day of playing, he sleeps through the night in his dog bed. He just needs to work on his housetraining (like any young pup), walking on a leash, and his tendency to chew. Health & Care: Stetson is a healthy guy! He'll just need his flea and tick prevenatives, like any dog. He shouldn't need much elaborate grooming, either, given his short coat.  Other Animals: This playful pup adores other small, playful dogs. He hasn't been observed around cats yet, but his foster thinks he'd get along with them.   Children: Stetson will be a wonderful family dog. He is working on his teeth and so does chew things, which might be difficult with younger children, so he'd do best in a home with patient children, ages 8+. Ideal Home: This quiet little chap and would do fine in any type of home. He does love to run and play and will need space to do this as he grows into a bigger, more active dog. Overall: Stetson will make a fabulous friend for a family in Central Florida who can train him, raise him, and love him forever.  Do you want to throw your hat in the ring to adopt Stetson? Then visit www.PoodleandPoochRescue.org to fill out an adoption application. If it seems like a good match, our team will reach out with more information. His adoption donation is $600. ##2660727##

Story
Hi I'm Milo! My foster dad rescued me from an abusive household where I was kept in a cage in the garage under extreme heat and was not well fed. I was super skinny. I'm about 2 years old. In my foster home I got 2 sisters. A dog and a cat, and we get along really well. I love my human and I'm ready to give them a lot of love and cuddles, but I'm pretty shy and hard to trust at first. I'm afraid of people because of what they have done to me. My dad would love to keep me. We bonded very well but due to my past I have severe anxiety. Even after being neutered I still need to mark everywhere so I can feel safe. I'm aggressive with strangers because I'm afraid of them and every time I feel insecure, I will growl to let you know that I'm uncomfortable. My dad works a lot and doesn't have the time and money to treat my anxiety or train me, and he doesn't wanna leave me in a cage all day. My ideal home would have a fenced backyard and a loving family with a lot of patience to care for me.

These pups are in Melbourne, Florida too!
