"Lily"
English Cocker Spaniel
10 1/2 years old
Fenced yard REQUIRED - No exceptions
Lily is a sweet 10.5-year-old English Liver Cocker Spaniel. She's a petite 20lbs. Her fur is silky smooth and her ears are as soft as a lamb's ear! She was surrendered from a breeder and is learning how to be a yard-loving dog. She loves to run around her fenced-in yard with all 4 paws in the air as she runs. She's up to date on all her vaccinations. She is moderately blind in one eye. Both eyes receive drops. She is getting much better at her potty skills. She can 'hold it' for 4-5 hours. She loves her feline foster sister and enjoys spending the weekend with another small dog. She has been on the sofa a few times but seems to prefer her doggie bed or the first floor of a cat tower! She is cat-friendly and good with children over 6 years old. She is practicing walking on a leash. The ideal home for her would be one with a secure fenced yard where she could run and play. Leash walking will be a learning process. Lily will love to be the center of your universe! Lily's adoption fee is $250.
"Scarlett"
English Cocker Spaniel
6 1/2 years old
Fenced yard REQUIRED - No exceptions
"My name is Scarlett, named for my silky beautiful red hair. My story wasn’t as beautiful as my hair, until recently. I was used for breeding my entire life. I produced so many beautiful little ones, and I pray that they’re all safe and loved. Now it’s my turn to feel safe and loved, and it was so scary at first, when I realized I was free from my duties. I felt lost and insecure. People wanted to touch me? And it had nothing to do with my babies? You see, I was saved by a rescue who wanted me. They got me a surgery so I won’t have any more babies, my body is tired from years of that. I first went to a wonderful foster mom, who patiently and lovingly showed me that I was finally going to be loved. Now I am being fostered in the Orlando area, with a family with a child and other dogs and a fenced in backyard! My morning ritual is zoomies in the yard and on the back patio after breakfast. I hop like a bunny all around and enjoy all of the smells in the yard. I adore leash walks too. I can pull a little on the leash, in my excitement to take in all of the smells - but I’m a good girl and try not to pull too hard. I’m potty trained but I do need to be let out or taken for a walk after my meals and even in between. I’m good with other dogs. I’m good with all people, I’m a bit slow to warm up. Meeting new people is still a new experience for me. I do love to cuddle, once I warm up though! I am up to date on vaccines, had a dental, on heartworm preventative, and microchipped. I do require daily eye drops but they are not expensive." Scarlett's adoption fee is $350.
"Clayton"
Chorkie (Chihuahua and Yorkie mix)
12 years old
Retired or work from home adopter REQUIRED
"Hi. My name is Clayton. That hasn't always been my name, but I think it is kind of cool. I am a little guy, under 7 lbs and around 12 years old. Everyone thinks I may be a Chorkie (chihuahua and yorkie mix) but for sure I am just a cutie patootie. Just the right size to curl up in your lap without making your legs go to sleep. I curl up like a little ball. This is my story. I was at a home with Hoomans who I don't think really liked little doggies. I had a little girl with me too. I heard the other day she has already found her new home. We were in a little cage and our hoomans just went away and left us. We cried and cried but they did not come back. We were very scared and very hungry. Then another person came and found us and took us to a place called a shelter. We got to stay in a nice lady's office. They cleaned us up and got rid of all the bugs that kept biting us. I think they were called fleas. I had chewed myself up because I was so itchy from them. We didn't stay at the shelter very long. We got picked up and taken on a ride to a place with a nice big yard to run in and soft beds and good food. I really liked it there. I got a bath and the nice lady cut off all my icky hair and mats. I felt so much better. Then I took another ride and ended up at a doctor's office. They took out all of those teeth which hurt so bad, and I only have 3 teeth now in my entire mouth. They also took some other parts off which is OK with me. I got shots and a microchip, Ouch! My left eye has a cataract but my right one is just fine, and I see really good out of it. Another nice lady picked me up, I met a lot of nice ladies, and told me her name was Mama Heidi. I really like her, but I wish she had more time to hold me. I tell her this all of the time, but she said she has to work and I guess I can understand that. But I have lots of friends there and a comfy bed and good food. And now I am ready to start looking for my forever home. I think I would like a home where I can have my mama or daddy home with me a lot. I would really like that. I am not picky about much but that is important to me. I want to be able to snuggle on a lap and hopefully get to sleep in the big bed curled up. My hair is still growing back in, but I will need to get my hair cut sometimes. I am still learning all about pottying outside but if you are patient with me, I will learn fast what your rules are. I do require a family who is retired or works from home so I have someone home with me a lot. My adoption fee is $250."
