Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Phee Phee! PheePhee came to PRBJ with her best friend, Lucy, when their owner's health issues prevented her from caring for the 2 girls. They are not bonded, but we would love to see them both go into the same home.   PheePhee is good with kids, cats, and even larger dogs. She is great on car rides. She is not really playful but will  occasionially play with soft, squeaking toys. PheePhee is couch potato and just enjoys sitting with her human and getting lots of petting.  Like many dogs, PheePhee is not happy about storms and likes to be able to be with her best canine friend or human to get comfort. PheePhee knows a few  words such as 'eat,' 'treat,' 'outside,' 'that's all,' and 'no.'As PheePhee lived with just one person, she takes time to get to know new people and will run away or bark until she warms up to you.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.July 21, 2026, 4:43 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Currently fostering at the Aloft Hotel Downtown OrlandoMeet Lucy! Lucy came to PRBJ with her best friend, PheePhee, when their owner's health issues prevented her from caring for the 2 girls. The girls are not bonded, but we would love to see them both go into the same home.   Lucy is playful and does well crated, on leash, and in the car- making her a fantastic travel companion. Her owner commented that she:*Is not big on long walks*Does occasionally use potty pads in the house*Gets nervous around smaller kids because they move too quickly *She lived with cats and a larger dog, but did not really care for them and would growl With this in mind, we are recommending a home with adults or considerate older kids and as the only pet/with a dog her size. Lucy knows the word 'treats' and will be expecting one if you say it. She also knows 'eat,' 'outside,' and 'that's all.'  Like PheePhee and many dogs, she is afraid of storms and looks to her human or her canine friend for comfort.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.July 21, 2026, 4:43 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Online Adoption Application Meet Molly! At 16 years young, Molly has perfected the art of being the ideal companion. This sweet senior girl is looking for a cozy place to spend her golden years surrounded by love, soft beds, and her favorite people. She is a Maltese and weighs 13 lbs. Molly is low-energy and enjoys the simple things in life. She's not interested in running marathons, swimming laps, or chasing squirrels, she would rather leave that to the young pups. Instead, she'd much rather relax by your side, soak up affection, and enjoy a leisurely stroll when the mood strikes. Don't let her age fool you, though—she can still keep up when it's time for a little adventure.Molly loves people and gets along wonderfully with other dogs. Her gentle, easygoing nature makes her a joy to be around, and she has a special way of making everyone she meets fall in love with her. If you're looking for a loyal companion who will happily share quiet moments, warm cuddles, and unconditional love, Molly may be the perfect match for you. Give this sweet senior the loving retirement she deserves.Apply to adopt at: AnimalAdvocatesFL.org  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.July 21, 2026, 5:43 pm

Story
CHARLIE (and Muffin) Grateful Paws has JUST been made aware of TWO adult Maltese who are now on hold at Animal Control but will be at the Humane Society of Highland County in Sebring, FL in 5 days.  7/09/26 ish   Their elder owner died unexpectedly, and the granddaughter was not in a position to care for them. They are a bonded pair; MUFFIN is 12 years old, 13 lbs., spayed, and has only one eye. CHARLIE is 9 years, neutered, and weighs 7 lbs.   Both are in good health, housebroken, calm and quiet - and well behaved but Charlie isn't fond of other male dogs. After a life of love and luxury, they will NOT do well in a shelter!   If you or someone you know would welcome this pair into their home, PLEASE reach out to Alexandra at the Humane Society. It's not posted on their website, but I am pretty sure the adoption fee will be nominal - The Humane Society of Highlands County, 7421 Haywood Taylor Blvd., Sebring, FL 33876 www.humanesocietyofhighlandscounty.org - 863-655-1522. and PLEASE share this post far & wide.    July 6, 2026, 9:49 am

Story
Hi, I’m Arnold! I'm a 13-lb Maltese blend with a fluffy snout and a goofy little smile. At 6 years old, I'm a laid back sweetheart who is happy cuddling up with you or doing my own thing: the best of both worlds! Favorite Things: Arnold is sweet as pie. He likes to rest in a playful bow pose. He will cuddle up to next to you but he also likes to snooze on his own. He likes to be next to his person cuddling but will also go sleep in his playpen for some alone time. He found the toy bin right away in his foster home but doesn't necessarily play for long periods of time. He has his playful moments, but he will also totally sleep the whole day away. Training & Manners: The best kept secret about rescue dogs is that some of them come pre-trained! Arnold house trained if let out regularly and will even go to the door to let you know he needs to go out. He's seen it all and isn't bothered by storms. He walks well on a leash and does great in the car, knows "sit" and has good basic manners and will take direction when needed. He can sleep in either the people bed or dog bed at night.  Health & Care: Arnold is a healthy boy. He is neutered, microchipped, and up-to-date on vaccinations. His shedding is minimal but he will need regular grooming. Other Animals: This friendly fellow is good with other dogs of all sizes. He hasn't been observed around cats, but his foster thinks he'd be OK with them, too, if given a proper introduction. Children: Arnold would enjoy playing with kids. He is gentle when playing with toys. Ideal Home: His foster thinks Arnold would be okay in any type of home. He does bark a little when playing. Overall: Are you ready to adopt Arnold and say "hasta la vista" to a life without snuggles, snores, and smiles? If so, visit www.PoodleandPoochRescue.org to fill out an adoption or foster application. If it seems like a good match, our team will reach out with more information. His adoption donation is $350. ##2766327##
