Penuche is an adorable low rider, she is an aussie/corgi/?? mix. We pulled her mother a few months ago, Wiglet, who was a corgi/aussie mix (dad was aussie/mom was corgi). Penuche is around 1 1/2 yrs old. She is very terrified of people as she was pretty much ingnored and left to her own devices. She does well with other dogs and is trying to play with the foster's dogs! Her foster parents are working with her and she seems to be doing better with the husband (her former owner was a woman). We will update when we have more. She is fostered in Thonotasassa, FL NS2745
Kozmo is 5 yrs old, he's an Aussie/Border Collie cross. Kozmo is a bigger boy, weighing in at 70 lbs.
He is fostered in a home with 2 other dogs; he's having a blast with one but the other is deaf/blind and pushy, something Kozmo isn't appreciating.
According to his previous owner he's good with men/women/children and cats (foster doesn't have cats). He is still new to us so more info as we get to know him. Kozmo is fostered in Tampa, FL NS2938
BearBear came in as a stray from a local shelter; he's pretty timid but we can tell he'll come around. He's already trusting his foster parents and is acclimating into the pack (2 other dogs). Shelter says he's about 4 but we feel he may be a bit older. BearBear was so matted the shelter couldn't even tell if he was neutered or not. Thankfully they had him shaved down and bathed for us and found that he is neutered!! He has been vetted all except a heartworm test. Right now BearBear is just taking it easy. He's not thrilled with a leash so his foster home is just letting him drag it around and be chill. They will start working with him once he's decompressed. We think he's going to be a sweet heart of a Bear! BearBear is fostered in Ormond Beach, FL NSXXXX

Remy BT
RemyBT is an adorable 8 yr young black tri male, he's is one nice boy!
Remy BT has a clean bill of health. He weighed in at 42½ lbs, he needs to lose some weight! He was Mr Social Butterfly at the vet wanting to meet everyone! The staff loved him, they thought this spunky guy was younger than 8!
Remy BT walks well on a leash - - definitely has energy and walks to the end of the leash. He is extremely (happily) interested in meeting other dogs on his walks. Remy settles nicely in the house. He is house and crate trained, also rides nicely in the car. He is fostered with a younger intact (not for long) male and does very well with him. They love to play! Remy also loves to play in puddles, splashing around and wallowing in them....he might love the beach! He's very steady, not fazed by anything, fast bicycle, cars, runners or noises just don't bother him. He's been around children of all ages and does well (according to previous owner, the had a 3 yr old), he also said he was good with their cat.
Remy's does need some manners as he tries to counter surf. He also needs work on his recall. So far these are his only faults in foster care!
Whoever adopts this boy will be so lucky!

Kyra Bell
Kyra was dumped at a shelter and not reclaimed so she is in rescue. 3 years old, blue merle (but leaning to gray) spayed, up to date on shots and heartworm negative. This fabulous girl is ready for a new home
Kyra rides well in a car, is crate trained, house trained and a total cuddle. Her leash walking is improving daily. She is curious about the world and loves meeting other dogs, immediately asking them to play.
Her best home would have another playful dog. Not highly active, good exercise/sniffy walks would please her immensely. No idea about cats but could be a good confidant for a teen during those difficult years who needs to tell stories knowing she will never tell the parents.

Big and beautiful, Aspen Bluebelle is 6 yrs old and 73.5lbs! Yes, she's on a diet, poor thing is also being treated for an urinary tract infection. She is fostered in Apopka, FL NSXXXX
Red Blitz
What sweet and adorable guy! Red Blitz is 5 months cold (27lbs) aussie mix, and just a fun loving puppy. He loves to run around the yard trying to keep up with the big dogs! He and one of the resident dogs do a lot of wrestling. It's only been a few days and he's mastered the doggie door. So far he's doing well at crate training and house training. Being a puppy he does like to chew so hang on to your shoes! He will need a home where he'll get proper training so he can become the best dog he can be.
Red Blitz is fostered in Thonotasassa, FL.

Tiny Ash
My, my, Tiny Ash is an itty bitty thing. She is almost 3 yrs old and 12lbs of sweetness.
Tiny Ash loves to play fetch and tug with her stuffed toys. She'll run after them, bring them back, and give them a good shake! Jumping on your lap for pets and snuggles are an hourly thing, when she's not chilling on the floor or in her doggy bed. She is always following me and underfoot, I have to watch out when I'm walking. She does like people but may be a little apprehensive once she's comfortable she's fine. Tiny Ash likes to go on walks but will bark at people/dogs. She rides well in a crate in the car.
Tiny Ash eats and sleeps in her crate. She will fuss and howl in her crate when you leave but I wouldn't trust her enough to leave her out, definately has separation anxiety. She is a watch dog with her alarmist, stranger danger bark, any unknown noise and she'll let you know! I wouldn't say she's 100% house trained so she's taken out frequently. It did take her a few days to get used to my granddaughters, quick movements by them startled her and caused her to bark like a crazy dog at them.
While she's doing ok with my 3 dogs who are older and could careless that she's here, she did not get along with one of the two dogs she formerly lived with. She's a jealous little thing. Owner said she was fine with their senior cats but we haven't cat tested her.
Best home, someone who can deal with her stranger danger barking and separation anxiety and who is home more often than not. She is a VERY loving girl.
