Thank you everyone for a great 2024! We've had so many happy tails, pets who made it to their new forever families!

Anytime you choose to adopt you are choosing a discarded pet and giving it another chance at love ❤️

So THANK YOU.
We still have lots of available cats, kittens, dogs, and puppies waiting for their turns! Share their stories, foster so they can be ready for their forever families, and adopt when you are ready to make a lifelong commitment to a new furmember!

💚 Adopt Elphie 💚

Hi, I’m Elphie! 🧙‍♀️ My previous family abandoned me in a dog park in late November. I was rescued by some very compassionate humans. They let me stay in their home with two cats, a dog, and their children, and gave me a really cool new name from the movie, Wicked! They took me on walks and let me run around the park. I give lots of love — cuddles, kisses, and funny snoring noises. I love belly rubs, playing with rubber balls (the more, the better). I go to the door when I need to go potty and quickly take care of business.

Elphie is spayed, and about two-years old. She will be UTD on vaccines and microchipped. She’s on heartworm and flea prevention medication and a visit to the vet gave her the green light. She’s great with other dogs, kids, and enjoys car rides. She would do best in a home with a yard and older children who can help play with her, walk her, and love her.

Like her namesake, Elphaba, because you know her, you will be changed for good!

❤️ FREEDOM RIDE FOR GOMEZ ❤️

Gomez was on the last chance list at Orange County Animal Services and was due for euthanasia. He is SO excited to be out of there and is finally winding down taking a nap on the couch with his foster. He definitely lost weight from the stress of OCAS but we’re ready to help him get on the mends.

While Gomez is a sweet and loving dog, he was placed on the list due to him being hard to place as he is reactive to other animals and needs to be an only pet. It’s not often we can save these babies due to needing the right foster and ability to find trainers. Thankfully, we got in contact with a foster who has experience with reactive dogs and lives alone with no other pets. It’s the perfect set up for him and will give him a strong chance to rehabilitate.

Gomez will need professional behavior modification training so we are accepting donations for him and are seeking out trainers who can help for an affordable rate for a non-profit rescue. Please reach out if you have a trainer who can help, donate if you can, and share this post to spread the word!

🚨FOSTER/ FOSTER TO ADOPT/ ADOPTER Needed for abandoned Husky

*update from the temp foster now that she's had him for a couple days*

He walks on a leash AMAZINGLY. Does fantastic in car rides. Does great at the groomer and vet. Apparently he may be treat motivated when he wants to be. I think he knows basic commands, but is selective on when he actually wants to do them. He’ll do ‘sit’ for a fish skin. Also does good in the crate all day and has zero accidents. He slept in my son's bed last night and just cuddled him all night ❤️

Meet Balto!!

This sweet boy needs a foster/ adopter with husky experience as he is a textbook example of the breed.

Balto has been failed by every family he's had. He was adopted by one person, rehomed to another, and then allowed to roam the streets until he came to us.

He's a big puppy where his previous families did no basic training with him. As a husky, he is smart and needs a family that can keep up! He loves to go on unsupervised adventures 🫣, he needs help with basic manners, no small children or small pets as his energy too much. A fenced-in yard is not required as he should be supervised outside for any length of time.

Balto gets attached to people very quickly, so we would prefer an adopter or a foster to adopt situation for stability for him.

As of right now, he is neutered and microchipped. He's going to a vet tomorrow to get up to date on shots and prevention. We estimate he is around 2 years old. Currently in Brevard County. His adoption fee is $250.

DAISY IS SAFE

She had been sighted a few times today. Traps were put out with food and she stayed in the area trying to each. One of our dedicated volunteers had been driving out over an hour to try and help catch her and today it was successful!

Daisy has some minor injuries that are being treated and she needs a good bath and groomed. But otherwise okay ❤️

Thank you everyone who shared her post and helped her get home safe!!!

❤️It's GIVING TUESDAY❤️

Today, we are asking for donations for our 2 recent pulls turned tripods, Kiwi and Cassie!

Both came to us from OCAS, and the damage to their legs resulted in amputations. Cassie lost a front leg, and Kiwi lost a back leg. These surgeries combined cost $4728, and so far, we have already received $735 in donations 😍

We are so appreciative of those who have donated already and honored pledges for us pulling them!! Please continue to share their stories, and on Giving Tuesday, we ask you to consider donating to us!
Many employers are offering higher donation matches TODAY ONLY, so check in with your boss and see how to maximize your giving!

THANK YOU for helping us continue saving lives ❤️

Orlando Area SHARE OR ADOPT Sam!

Are you looking for a sweet lil void to fill a void in your heart? Sam might be just the gal for you! Sam was an outdoor cat who we’d been feeding for about a year when we moved into our new place, and when Hurricane Milton threatened to come through Central Florida we took her in to keep her safe.

Just to see if she belonged to anyone, we took her into our vet but she wasn’t chipped! She WAS spayed, and is extremely healthy! Negative for FIV and leukemia, and now fully vaccinated. Her one “flaw,” if you can call it that, is because of some severely abscessed tooth trouble, she’s down to just her lil vampire fangs and a back molar. The cutest flaw of all time, I’d say!

She gets along pretty well with our two idiot orange cats, but likely wouldn’t do super well in a home with dogs since she’s a bit of a scaredy cat. We think that’s due to her living outside for so long. If you’re interested in a little black void who will tolerate head scratches (on her terms!) and loves a sun-soaked window seat, Sam’s the one for you!

On this day of thanks, we are thankful for new fosters who continue to step up and help us save lives we otherwise couldn't!

First up is Kiwi 🥝
Kiwi got her freedom ride from OCAS yesterday! She has a broken knee, which already has some pretty decent calcium build-up, meaning it's been injured for a while. You would NEVER know this girl was hurt! Her foster is fostering for the first time and has been sending us tons of photos and updates while we determined the urgency of her injury.
She will be going to Oviedo on Friday morning for a consultation, which will more than likely result in an amputation. Based on Glinda's surgery yesterday, we anticipate this costing another $2500. Please consider donating towards this at betterlifepets.com/donate

Our second situation we are thankful for is finding an experienced foster for our Malinios puppies! We had someone reach out with lots of Sheppard experience. After a phone call, we knew they would be just perfect for our Thelma and Louise! While not new to fostering, they are new to our team, and we are so grateful to have them!
Thelma and Louise were dumped with a ragedy toy when found by one of our volunteers, and now they are ready for their forever homes! You can fill out an application at betterlifepets.com/adoption-application

Happy Thanksgiving everyone 🦃
Our hearts are full 🧡

🫧 SHARE & DONATE 🪄

💖 Glinda (pronounced GUH-LINDA), formerly known as Cassie, loves the Wicked soundtrack and rightfully so! She is now defying gravity on three legs 🧹

She had surgery Tuesday night and is in her fosters home in recovery now. She was already hopping around on three legs right out of the vet, no problem! We had to tell her to slow down actually! She says good riddance to her double fractured arm and is looking forward to playing with her fosters puppy friends in a few weeks.

If you can donate for her care, her surgery was $2,500. Anything helps ❤️‍🩹

PS: Stay tuned because we’re saving another puppy from OCAS tonight that is also in need of a surgery (probable amputation too as it’s a shattered knee), she’s another cutie pie!
