Story
Hi! I am Gatsby a 2yr old, 45 lb, Pit mix looking for my forever family.  I am UTD, neutered, microchipped, house trained, crate trained, and a super duper smart/eager to please boy.  I was born in the woods and spent the first two months of my life living out in the wild so because of that, I need a special home.  I am basically fearful of people and you can not just walk up to me and pet me, I need to get to know you will not hurt me first.  Because of that, we want to find an adopter who will be patient and will continue working with his trainer, this will be included with his adoption at no extra cost.  So living in the Orlando area is best.  Once I know and trust you I am your best friend and I will give you my heart and soul!!!   I currently live with a pack of pups and I do great with dogs after proper introductions.  I have been through training and boarding at the facility to help with my social skills and confidence.   I have seen cats before and would likely do well with a confident one if you teach me how to live with them. A home without small kids would be ideal, only because I am still learning to not be so scared of things and they can be fast and noisy.  I can't wait to find my forever family, could it be you? Adoption requirements are as such:  A loving family with older kiddos to be his cuddle buddy, ball thrower, and adventure pal Fenced in yard  Willingness to do training sessions (covered by the rescue)  No apartments   Please note, Gatsby is part of Happy Trails Animal Rescue’s rehoming program. He has not been tested or evaluated and the information gathered is from the current owner’s personal statements regarding health and temperament. The owner is subject to placement outside of our organization. We cannot guarantee availability.  Adoption fee REDUCED: $75 ##1628060##

Story
Odie is a 2 year old bully breed mix. He is active, spunky and silly. He is housebroken, has good house manners and is crate trained. He is friendly and outgoing and would likely love kids to play with, but he might be too much for very young children - older kids who like to rough house would be his perfect match. He is not good with other animals and needs to be the only pet in the home. He is strong on the leash and needs leash training and would need an owner who is able to handle a strong dog on the leash and has time to dedicate to training - we can provide training support at no cost! Adoption fee: $150 Odie is neutered and current on vaccines. Adoptions are by appointment only, please fill out an application to get started. *NOTE: Odie is part of our rehoming program - a diversion program that helps keep pets out of shelters by assisting their owners in finding new homes that are a better fit so they don't need to be surrendered. This means Odie is currently living with his original owners and all veterinary care and history and temperament history has been provided by them.  ##1974664##

Story
Mimi is an adorable 3 year old bundle of happy wiggles! She doesn't know a stranger and her whole body wiggles when she makes a new friend. She is housebroken and very well behaved in the house. She was originally rescued from animal control very serious wounds to her head and neck consistent with a dog fight. Overall she seems to be very dog friendly with a polite, friendly other dog and proper introductions. She is playful and excited and another dog correcting her harshly can cause her to react negatively (not terribly surprising for a dog with her past) so she would do best with a tolerant, playful other dog and slow introductions to build trust. This special girl has been through so much and deserves a chance. She will bring so much soft, wiggly, happy energy to her new home. She is great with kids of all ages. No cats. Adoption fee $150. Spayed and current on vaccines. Located in Orlando, FL. ##1986582##

Story
Dante is a fun, happy, social 1 year old boy. He gets along great with other dogs and makes new dog friends easily. His ideal dog companion would be playful and outgoing - he might be too much for a dog that is older/fragile and wants to be left alone - but he does take correction from other dogs very well. He is housebroken and does not get into things in the home. He lives with toddlers and is amazing with them and kids of all ages. Dante is overall a sweet, easy, friendly boy that would make a wonderful addition to any family looking for a young, playful dog to add to their home.  Adoption fee $150, he is neutered and current on vaccines. ##2008384##

Story
Kobe is a playful, active, adorable one year pittie boy. He is very friendly and outgoing and loves new people. He might be a little too enthusiastic for very small children, but he doesn't have a mean bone in his body. He is equally overexcited to see other dogs and will likely need a couple of meetings to become calm enough to be polite, but again he does not have a mean bone in his body. His ideal dog friend will be tolerant and playful and be enthusiastic to have a rowdy playmate. He would probbaly be too much for older or very small dogs that want to be left alone. He is housebroken and crate trained.  Kobe is neutered and current on vaccines. His adoption fee is $150. He is located in Orlando, FL.  ##2018541##

Story
Dakota is a very, very special girl looking for a very, very special home. This petite (she's about 30 lbs) terrier mix suffers from a metabolic condition that makes it very hard for her to gain and maintain weight. She spent several months hospitalized at our veterinarian before they found a diet and supplement plan that works for her - but she is finally steadily gaining weight and ready to transition into a home. She is young (estimated to be 1 to 2 years old) and active, vibrant and healthy. She will need a special diet and supplement plan for the remainder of her life - which means she will need a special family willing to provide for these special needs for her.  Dakota also needs to be the only pet in the home. She has a typical terrier personality and wants to be the spoiled only fur child in her home. She is active, energetic and young and needs a home prepared to continue to work on basic manners but she is a happy, spirited energy that any family would be so lucky to have.  This girl needs her second chance at truly having a home and family of her own. We are willing to waive her adoption fee to a foster-to-adopt home and provide her first bag of food and supply of supplements and medications.  Located in Orlando, FL area.  ##2018557##

Hope is being fostered in LA. She has both some vision and hearing, but is both vision and hearing impaired. Update: Hope is doing really good I was worried when her sister left she’d be a little lost but she’s not. She loves playing outside and running around with her foster siblings. Her favorite game is chase and tug a war. She’s still a big snuggler and loves attention. Goes in her crate easily. She definitely can hear just not sure how well ( always seems to hear the snack bag opening). Hope would definitely love to be your lap dog. She likes to cuddle and sleeps right by her foster mother. Hope plays well with her foster siblings of all sizes and breeds. She likes to play with toys and hang out with her sister Faith. She loves running around outside. Hope is deaf.

Story
He is 4 years old. 57 lbs. He just got neutered and his shots on 2/8/24. He received a Proheart & Cytopoint shot on 3/21/24. He likes dogs but not cats. Likes children but not toddlers. Older kids would be best. He does not like my toddler but he has been great with my 15 year old. He is a sweet boy that likes to give kisses and cuddle. He loves to sunbath & he sleeps a lot. Loves going out for walks, he can go about a mile before being tired but if you take him often I'm sure he could go longer. He has had training at Sit Means Sit. We haven't really kept up with too much of it but he is extremely trainable. He does sit, stay, place, come. His vet and I are working on an elimination diet to figure out what he's allergic to. I think it might be chicken but not sure. We see the vet on 5/16/24 to begin allergy testing. Other than his allergy he is healthy. We are located in Winter Springs, FL.

Meet Tarzan!  He is about 7 months old.  He was found as a stray with an old injury to his hips/back end.  This injury was most likely caused by being hit by a car as a very young puppy and it did not heal properly.  With therapy and exercise he has strengthened his leg muscles and he runs and plays a walks just fine.  He does have a funny gait but that does NOT stop him!  Tarzan is great with cats and dogs and loves everyone he meets.  He is neutered, fully vaccinated, microchipped, and heart worm negative.  Adoption fee and contract required.Email californianoodles@gmail.com  ##2000049##

Meet Clover!  She is is about 10 months old and is about as cute as they get!  Clover is a small 32 pound pocket sized American Bully and she wound up at Animal Control with no signs of ownership.  She has a head tilt but this does not stop her from being a normal and playful pup.  She is good with other dogs but plays rough so no small dogs  for her.  Clover is fantastic with cats and kids and she will sleep quietly in bed with you all night long.  She is working on the whole house breaking thing and is catching on fairly well.  Clover is vaccinated, heat worm negative, and will be spayed once she has been adopted.  We will make her spay appointment that will work with the adopter’s schedule.  Her adopter MUST bring her to her spay appointment, no exceptions.  Adoption fee and contract required.

This is Ghost he’s a 2 year old pit mix with a lot of personality. He loves to cuddle, play and spend time outside. He knows basic commands, is crate trained, house trained, spayed/neutered and is super excited when it comes to meeting new people or other dogs. He’s a great family dog but would do better with older kids over 8 he does jump and have a loud bark. He’s still so full of puppy energy but is eager to learn and super smart. It breaks our hearts to have to re-home him and he deserves the best we can give him. Please if you’re interested don’t hesitate to reach out for more information.

These pups are in Orlando, Florida too!

Story
Jewel is an amazing 5 year old Boxer girl - she even has the happy boxi nubby tail. She has been a family pet her whole life and has great house manners. She is housebroken and polite and has a great medium energy. Her owner went through some personal challenges and a family friend took her in but cannot keep her - she does not get along well with the other dogs in their home. Jewel isn't difficult to walk or manage out and about when she sees other dogs, she just has no idea how to politely greet new dog friends. With continued work on her social skills she has a lot of potential to do really well with dogs in the future. Continued training support will be provided for her at no cost to her new adopter. If you're looking for a spoiled only fur child for your family, this girl is seriously wonderful - pre-trained and so well behaved, full of love and silliness. She has a very typical Boxer playful, happy spirit. Great family pet for a single pet home.  Adoption fee: $150 - Dogs are spayed/neutered, current on vaccines and come with free training support. ##1876503##

Meet Daphne (DaphPunk), she’s is 5 years old and I’ve had her since she was 6months. She’s potty trained. Knows commands sit, chill (lay/down), and paw. Very energetic!! She’s well with dogs her size and larger. Older kids 10+ are fine. But younger I am not quite sure since she likes to stand on her twos paws and hug every chance she gets. She also gets energetic quick. She knows to get out of the kitchen as well. No problems with her chewing up furniture or shoes.
