Story
Baron is estimated to be 1 years old and weighs 10 pounds. ***Secure fenced yard required*** Rescued from a hoarding situation so he is not socialized nor ever walked on a leash but given time & patience, he came around rather quickly in his foster home. He absolutely loves playing with other dogs. He might run from you when first adopted until he gets comfortable. He is a precious boy and deserves a chance for a better life. Will need work on housetraining, leash training as well as socialization. He is great with other small dogs, cats unknown & kids that are a little older & understand how to be around a skittish dog & to allow for the dog to come to them & not chase (not counting when they are in play mode). Interested in learning more about Baron or want to be considered to be his furever family? Please fill out the application so we can get to work on our end to see if we can make a match. Adoption radius is 250'ish miles from Jacksonville, FL. All other pets must be spayed/neutered & on heartworm prevention.

Story
Pascal is estimated to be 1 years old and weighs 10 pounds. ***Secure fenced yard required*** Rescued from a hoarding situation so he is not socialized but with time and patience he'll come around. Looking for a family who can show him love and give him the plenty of time to learn how life is supposed to be. He's super sweet and trying hard to trust. He will literally stiffen & freeze as he's so scared when handled but if he's with other dogs, he will follow them into the kitchen to see what you're delving out & to be sure to get his bite (he's been in the foster home for almost 2 weeks when he started showing this behavior). Great with other dogs, cats unknown and older children 12+ only because she is skittish. He is not housetrained (although when you open the slider & walk out, he will come behind you & go do his business as long as you don't turn towards him or call his name), has not walked on a leash yet or comfortable being handled but he needs to be cuddled (which means you need to know how to calmly corner a pup & slowly bend down to pick them up). This precious little boy needs to know he matters. Other socialized dog/s in a home would be perfect for him to watch and learn as he absolutely loves to play with them when he gets more comfortable in the home (& thinks you're not watching).

Please read all of bio first before inquiring! Can also be read in its entirety on our website: https://papillonpalsrescue.com/available-dogs Ari is estimated to be 2 years old and weighs 10 pounds. ***Secure fenced yard required*** Rescued from a hoarding situation so he is not socialized but is coming along nicely. With time and patience, he'll be your best buddy. Looking for a family who can show him love and give him plenty of time to learn how life is supposed to be. He's super sweet and trying hard to trust. He no longer cowers or freezes. He comes when you call him to go out, eats very well and snuggles on the couch with his foster parents. Fine with other dogs, although if they are excitable, he will steer clear. Doesn't pay much attention to cats. Preferably older children 12+, only because he is still learning to trust fully. He is nearly housetrained. He goes out to do his business along with the other dogs (he will stay behind you & follow you out - one of the reasons why a fenced yard is required) but is also potty pad trained. So, if he needs to go and you don't notice, he will go on the pads as a backup. He has not walked on a leash yet, nor is he entirely comfortable being handled but, he does let you pick him up and likes a belly rub! This precious little boy needs to know he's home!! He would do fine with another dog and/or cat in the house and is just looking for love. NOTE: Ari and Max-Neo are somewhat bonded, so they could be adopted together!!! They should do fine by themselves as well, but if you are looking for two, they are darling together! Adoption radius is 250'ish miles from Jacksonville, FL. All other pets must be spayed/neutered & on heartworm prevention. Interested in learning more about Ari or want to be considered to be his furever family?

Please read ALL of bio 1st before inquiring. You can read it in its entirety at https://papillonpalsrescue.com/available-dogs Max-Neo (We originally named him Neo meaning "new" for his new life but his foster family felt Max fit him better) is estimated to be 4 years old and weighs 5 pounds. ***Secure fenced yard required*** He has not walked on a leash yet and will need training. Rescued from a hoarding situation so he is not socialized but is coming along nicely. With time and patience, he'll be your best buddy. Looking for a family who can show him love and give him plenty of time to learn how life is supposed to be. He's super sweet and trying hard to trust. He no longer cowers or freezes but will sit and wait for you to come and pick him up so he can nuzzle with you. He comes when you call him to go out, eats very well, and insists on being with you at all times. Fine with other dogs, although if they are excitable, he will steer clear. Doesn't pay much attention to cats. Preferably older children 12+, only because he is still learning to trust fully. He will hide if company comes over. However, if someone comes more than once, he will be curious enough to check them out. He is nearly housetrained. He goes out to do his business along with the other dogs but is also potty pad trained. So, if he needs to go and you don't notice, he will go on the pads as a backup. This precious little boy needs to know he's loved and matters!! He would do fine with another dog and/or cat in the house and is just looking for love. He will cuddle with our small dog and likes to sleep with us under the blankets at night. NOTE: Ari and Max-Neo are somewhat bonded, so they could be adopted together!!! They should do fine by themselves as well, but if you are looking for two, they are darling together! Interested in learning more about Max-Neo or want to be considered to be his furever family?

Looking for a family who can show him love and give him the plenty of time to learn how life is supposed to be. He's super sweet and trying hard to trust. He has been in his foster home for a month & will still run if you make eye contact or say "HI FRED" but he has learned that at bedtime, although Foster Mom corners him (slowly moving in & slowly going towards him), she will pick him up & love on him - he seems to really like that. He is not going to be a fast fix & will need a family that is committed to him, to help him learn to trust & to teach him that the world doesn't have to be so scary. (It's taken about a month & he JUST came up to me yesterday to be pet when the others were around). Great with other dogs, cats unknown and older children 12+ only because she is skittish. He is not housetrained (although when you open the slider & walk out, he will come behind you & go do his business as long as you don't turn towards him or call his name), has not walked on a leash yet or comfortable being handled but he needs to be cuddled (which means you need to know how to calmly corner a pup & slowly bend down to pick them up). This precious little boy needs to know he matters. Other socialized dog/s in a home would be perfect for him to watch and learn as he absolutely loves to play with them when he gets more comfortable in the home (& thinks you're not watching). Fred absolutely loves playing with Baron, Pascal & Haru (not yet listed as we're still working on his gi issues) & when he thinks the coast is clear, will run around, chasing & playing with them. It's so cute to watch him relax from his fearful state & be a youthful dog. Interested in learning more about Fred or want to be considered to be his furever family?
