Story
Mufasa was my 18th birthday gift right before I left for college, and since then he has been an incredible dog and companion. He is noble, calm, and incredibly loving. Mufasa has been raised with all the love possible by me and my family, and because of the way he was raised, he is a very balanced and well-behaved dog. Unfortunately, I will be starting medical school soon, and because of the demands of training and housing limitations, I have not been able to find a place where I can bring him with me. My family is also unable to take on the responsibility long-term. This has been a very difficult decision, but my hope is to find a caring and loving family where Mufasa can continue to live a beautiful, happy life.

Story
Apply to Adopt Me! Meet Wynter, a sweet 1yo, 30lb husky mix. This gorgeous blue eyed girl came to us from Georgia, where she was found as a stray at a job site. She is very friendly with people and loves to play with other dogs. Her favorite pastimes are zooming in the yard with her buddies and chewing/squeaking toys. At nighttime she is content to lay on the couch next to her humans. She will even watch a little TV - her favorite show is currently Yellowstone. Wynter would be a lot of fun to do dog sports or obedience training with. She is higher energy and very smart. In two days she learned “sit," "stay" and “here.” She sleeps quietly through the night while crated, is house trained when taken outside regularly, and rides wonderfully in the car. Shes great with baths as well. Her ideal home would be active and have a fenced in yard. She would benefit from continued training and a consistent schedule. Being a young dog,she can be mouthy, so a home with no small children would be best. Other dogs in her home will need to be active as well or tolerant of a young, playful pup. Wynter is also cat friendly! Wynter is a herding breed, a very intelligent breed that not only needs daily physical activity, but also mental stimulation. She is not a dog/breed that can be left alone all day long while her people work. We prefer someone for her who has herding breed experience. If you live in the Central Florida/Orlando area and believe you have the perfect active home for Wynter, complete an app and tell us more about your family.  April 11, 2026, 2:40 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Meet Brigadier This sweet boy is the last pup left from his litter.  We are not sure why he has been overlooked. He has a great personality that would make him a perfect fit for any active home.  A fenced backyard and another energetic dog would be the perfect match.  Important Information for New Puppy Parents  Welcoming a new puppy into your home is an exciting and rewarding experience—but it also comes with important responsibilities. To help your puppy grow into a happy, confident, and well-adjusted adult dog, dedication to obedience training, socialization, and consistent potty training is essential.  We strongly recommend that the entire family participates in puppy training classes. This not only helps build a strong bond with your new pup but also ensures that everyone is using the same commands and techniques, creating a clear and consistent environment for learning.  **Puppies thrive with structure, patience, and positive reinforcement—and so do their families! Let’s set them up for a lifetime of love and success.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.April 12, 2026, 1:47 am
