Story
Meet Hollywood, an adorable 1 year old Terrier mix with a heart full of love. This sweet little shadow will follow you everywhere, always eager to be by your side. Hollywood has some congenital abnormalities with his vertebrae, including fused segments, but that doesn’t stop him from getting around and enjoying life to the fullest. Despite his condition, he’s a playful puppy who loves to romp around and have fun, but he’s also a cuddle bug who adores napping on you. Hollywood will need to wear a diaper for the rest of his life, but his joyful spirit and affectionate nature more than make up for it. If you’re looking for a devoted and playful companion who’s ready to fill your life with love, Hollywood is your guy! PLEASE NOTE: All your current pets must be spayed/neutered, vaccinated and on heartworm prevention to adopt from Polka Dogz. We only adopt in Florida. All adoption fees go to help all the dogs in the rescue, some of which require extensive medical care. Thank you for caring for the greater good. Adoption fee is $350 and you can adopt me at www.polkadogz.org. ##2159357##

Story
Meet Andy!  Andy might be shy at first, but once he feels safe, his sweet and playful personality starts to shine. Though slower to open up than his buddy Lloyd, Andy is very much the boss of the operation — a quiet leader with a gentle spirit. Andy does best in calm, patient environments and would love a home with older kids (around age 8 and up). Quick movements or loud noises from little ones can make him nervous, but with adults and respectful kids, he truly blossoms. He absolutely adores his people and, while he may bark a bit at strangers at first, he responds wonderfully to gentle reassurance and clear commands. Andy gets along great with dogs of all sizes and has shown polite curiosity toward cats and even chickens — so far, he’s made only good choices! Mealtime is a highlight of his day, and he loves going for walks — he’s doing great with leash training, too. Andy is still working on perfecting his potty routine and sometimes might lift a leg indoors, but with structure and guidance, he’ll keep improving. When it comes to playtime, Andy can get pretty enthusiastic, and late-night wrestling matches are very much his style! At bedtime, he’ll happily curl up crated separately or snuggle in close to his favorite human. With his speckled coat and loving heart, Andy is ready to bring quiet leadership, cuddles, and plenty of personality to the perfect forever home that loves him just the way he is — quirks, kisses, and all. PLEASE NOTE: All your current pets must be spayed/neutered, vaccinated and on heartworm prevention to adopt from Polka Dogz. We only adopt in Florida. All adoption fees go to help all the dogs in the rescue, some of which require extensive medical care. Thank you for caring for the greater good.

Story
Meet Lloyd! With his adorable dark spots and sweet, curious eyes, Lloyd is a gentle soul who loves people once he feels safe. He might start off a little shy, but he’s usually the first to warm up — tail wagging and ready to snuggle. Lloyd thrives in calm, patient environments and would do best with older kids (around age 8 and up), since sudden movements or loud noises can still make him nervous. Lloyd adores mealtime, gets excited for walks, and is doing great with leash training. He’s still polishing his potty routine and may occasionally lift a leg indoors, so a bit more structure and guidance will help him keep learning. When it’s playtime, Lloyd’s enthusiasm really shines — he loves a good romp and isn’t afraid to get a little silly. At night, he’ll happily curl up in his crate or right next to his favorite human for cozy dreams. With his gentle heart and loving spirit, Lloyd is ready to bring joy, snuggles, and plenty of speckled charm to his forever home.

Story
Sushi is being fostered in CT. Sushi loves to cuddle and would love to have her own person and family; however she would do best as an only dog so she can get all the love to herself. She travels great in the car and will either sit on your lap for a short trip or in the backseat with a doggy car seat. She is housetrained and will go to the door to let you know she has to go potty. She eats like a champ and takes her insulin well. She also does great at the vet and loves her vet clinic friends. She sleeps through the night and is very easy going. Sushi is not interested in toys but loves to chew on vet approved bones. She loves to sleep on the couch with a comfy blanket, and she uses dog steps to get on. She can safely jump down as long as the floor is not slippery. I have a dog stroller for Sushi and she happily will sit in it and go for a ride or sleep in it when I am sitting at the computer. She enjoys going for short walks and gets excited when you put her leash on! She also does a very funny trot out in the backyard. BDRA has voted against the use of electrical fencing effective immediately.

Story
Apply to Adopt Me! Meet Charles Bronson, a 4yo, 13lb. possible dachshund/Jack Russell Terrier mix. This medium-energy boy is full of life and loves his people. He bonds quickly and follows you everywhere. He has a sleek, shiny coat. He is a smart guy that is house trained, rides well in a car, and gets along well with other dogs and cats. He is currently in a foster home with several other dogs, both smaller and larger than him, and with senior dogs. But he would also be fine as an only dog. He wants to have the upper hand with the resident cat, but is actually scared of her when she confronts him. As long as a cat is an indoor cat, and doesn't run from him, he will be fine. He loves, loves his walks, and walks proudly with tail up, so daily walks are a must. He gets so excited when he sees the harness or hears the word "walk."  He is not reactive to other dogs or people on the walk, and is not a big barker. He does howl when his people leave the home, and even though that is short-lived, he wouldn't be a candidate for apartment or condo living due to that. Charles shakes during a thunder storm and wants to be near his person, so he would do best with someone who is home more often than not. A fenced yard is preferred so he can do his zoomies. Charles is a lap dog and a huge snuggle bug, cuddling up right next to his person all night long, often under the covers. He hasn’t been interested in toys yet. Charles does have one quirk in that he’s a growly boy, which may scare young kids. And although he is good with kids, a home with no young kids is best. We think that he may have been teased in his former home. But although he growls and only at certain times when he is being handled, he has not offered to bite. But even if he continues his growly ways, he is still a loving, fun and friendly boy, and maybe just a quirky little dude with that JRT attitude. JRT experience would be a plus. If you live in the Central Florida/Orlando area and believe you have the perfect home for Charles Bronson, please complete an app and tell us more about your family.  July 14, 2025, 1:24 pm
