But don’t let his laid-back demeanor fool you—he also has a playful side! Beans loves running around, playing fetch, and engaging with his favorite toys, including laser pointers and his beloved cat tower.

- Communication: Beans is quite the talker! He loves to chat throughout the day and isn’t shy about letting you know what he wants, whether it’s his nighttime treats or access to a certain room.

Beans is up to date on all his medical needs, having received a vet check just a few months ago. We’re committed to finding him a loving home where he can flourish!

WARNING
GRAPHIC PHOTOS

Please donate for an emergency enucleation for little orange boy TOBY

Because we are no strangers to eye problem, this lil dude made his way tomus. He's only 10ounces- very very small and not quite big enough for surgery. We anticipate this will completely rupture and pop out of his head soon, meaning little Toby will have to have emergency surgery despite his size, which is risky.
Our dedicated foster, who has handled every enucleation we've had, is doing her best to keep that from happening to allow him to grow and gain some strength.

We have to prepare for the worse and will need donations ready for when this happens. Based on past surgeries, we are looking anywhere from $2-3k.

Please, if you can, donate to little Toby’s bills so we can get him the help he desperately needs and deserves. It's $5 Friday, we have 6.2k followers, we only need a fraction of you to donate to get this covered!!
He really needs us, and we’ve all seen how amazing it is when the community comes together.

Donation link 🔗 betterlifepets.com/donate

He was found wandering the streets blind as his other eye is infected as well but not yet ruptured.

Help us please save Toby.

I apologize for the graph photos but this is unfortunately our reality.

He is currently receiving antibiotics, pain meds, and supportive care 🤕

Our Shih Tzu puppy mixes are officially taking PRE ADOPTION APPLICATIONS

These puppies all born 9/19 have a few weeks until they are ready to go, but we are going to open applications on them to get the process started since so many people have asked. The puppies will not be doing meet and greets or adoptions finalized until they have had their first round of shots which will be around 8 weeks old or once they've hit 2lbs (could be longer than 8 weeks old).

Cloe has 5 puppies; 4 boys- Cody, Cooper, Chase and Caleb and 1 girl-Charlie
Daisy has 4 puppies: 3 boys- Asher, Cosmo, Indigo and 1 girl- Posie

We aren't sure what they are mixed with as each set of puppies looks wildly different!
Cloe and Daisy are also accepting applications 😍

Leeanne was adopted from a shelter 6 months ago and unfortunately it isn't working out with her family and their life style.
Leeanne is an active dog who enjoys going outdoors and chewing on toys, she's needs help with training and getting her energy out. Treats are her favorite thing, so training should go smoothly!
Unfortunately her age is unknown and she is around 50lbs, but not sure exact weight. She is currently an only pet with no kids in the home, she does seem reactive to cats on walks.
She is located in Orlando Florida. Please email [email protected] for more info

COURTESY POST
Negative comments will be removed

I'm Spy. I don't spy on anyone, but I do love playing a lot. I have been to a two week board and train program with my favorite trainer, Cara. She was awesome. I love my owner a lot, but she is having a hard time with me because I do bark a lot when she is not home. Her neighbors are mad and she may be evicted because of me. She is absolutely devastated so my grandma is trying to help her fine me a good home. I have all of my shots. I am housebroken. I would love a home with a yard and no other dogs or cats. I like to be the center of attention. I like watching TV, playing fetch and tug of war. I am really smart. I love to cuddle and give lots of kisses. I should be with someone who is strong and experienced because I need consistency. I am food motivated so I am ready to learn lots of tricks I don't already know. This is a difficult thing for me and my owner, but I know there is someone out there who will love me as much as she does and will allow me to live my best life. Plus, I am super handsome. I get attention from all the ladies! I like that a lot Please come meet me. I know you'll want to take me home.

Spy is a 1.5 year old 50lb mixed breed dog who is neutered and up to date on shots. He is located in Winter Park, FL

TJ is looking great and ready for his FOREVER HOME!
Please SHARE OR ADOPT

Meet TJ an approximately 6-month-old mixed breed black and white cutie with giant ears (your breed guesses are as good as ours!) that we pulled from OCAS with mange and a piece of metal in his jaw. He was found as a stray and it appears he primarily lived outside and potentially chewed through a chain link fence to escape.

He is a timid pup but extremely loving and trusting. He loves to play with other dogs and toys. He would love to have a doggy playmate as he does have puppy energy!!
TJ is housebroken, crate trained, and walks well on a leash. He would make an amazing addition to any family!

He is up to date on shots and prevention and he will be neutered soon. We think he will be around 50lbs once full grown.

Pupdate on our newest babies!

The 2 moms we got from the dog hoarding case both had 5 puppies on the same day about 2 weeks ago! The puppies are doing great and while we wish everyone could snuggle them right now, photos will have to do!

They are starting to open their eyes a little, moms are doing a great job caring for them, and we are just loving watching them grow!!

The puppies will not be available for meet and greets/ adoption until they are 8 weeks old/ 2lbs and can have initial vaccines. Mom's will be ready once babies are weened. The other few pups from this case should be available soon!

As the puppies get older we could use supplies for them! P*e pads, wet puppy food to ween them, and small breed dry puppy food.

Florence (lil Bit) pupdate!

‼️DONATIONS NEEDED PLEASE SHARE‼️

Lil bit was rescued from OCAS with a broken leg after being attacked by another dog.

Unfortunately our attempts to save her leg were unsuccessful and she ended up needing her leg amputated.

She had her amputation today and had come complications. It was very scary but Thankfully the amazing doctor and staff at Vineland Animal Hospital were able to save her life.

We are forever grateful to be able to pick our sweet girl up from them today. She can now begin to heal and will very soon be able to play and run like a normal puppy (minus one leg) she has been on crate rest for weeks and I know she cannot wait to play with her foster dog siblings.

Her estimate for today is around $900. Please share and donate at 🔗betterlifepets.com/donate to help cover her medical bills.

🚨🚨🚨URGENT🚨🚨🚨
NEEDS PLACEMENT BY SATURDAY 10/5

RoDog is at OCAS after living life on the streets. He is a sweet senior boy who we helped after he was hit by a car in 2022. The tough part, he needs to be an only pet. And he may be a hospice case.

Here's what our volunteer who has known him and helped him for over 5 years has to say about him:
Meet Sweet Senior- RoDog! Rodog adores his people! You won’t find a more loyal friend! In fact, he is what they call a Velcro pup. He’ll happily follow you around, but is content as long as he is simply around you.
This senior boy enjoys chin rubs, cuddling and snuggling all day long but especially before bedtime. His hips are a bit sore since hit by a car years ago- so please don’t push on his backside, but chin rubs are his love language! If you stop chin rubs before he’s ready for you to stop, he will put his head in your hand and paw gently on your arm.
He takes treats gently, is very food motivated and eager to please his people. He LOVES playing with a silly wobbly ball & his old cactus stuffie too- but he is stuffie destructive- so must be watched with soft toys for his safety.
As a senior, he is set in his ways, but is obedient, loving and loyal to a fault. He was given away and wandered off when an irresponsible person let him free roam outdoors. We believe he was trying to find his old owner when he was picked up by OCAS.- 100% loyal.
He is both house trained & crate trained with great house manners! Due to the car accident he doesn’t jump on couches or beds and happy to lie at your feet or next to you in the floor.
This sweet boy will give you all that he is & be your best friend if treated with love and respect. Please consider giving this sweet but the happy ending he deserves!

RoDog has a tumor that needs to be further assessed by one of our vets, but may make him a hospice case. He is neuetered and heartworm negative. Around 55lbs.

We need a dedicated foster or adopter for RoDog by 10/5 or he doesn't make it out of the shelter 💔💔
As a foster we cover all medical at our vet partners and can provide other supplies as needed. We CANNOT save him without your help!

🥺 Sage is STILL looking for his furever home! 💔

SHARE THIS POST to help Sage find his perfect family!

Sage is about 7-8 months old, German Shepherd mix, vaccinated, loving, sweet, SMART, funny, and a total "velcro" dog.

If you aren't familiar with Sage's story, he was dumped at a local Petsmart. He could barely stand, couldn't walk, was incredibly anemic, completely emaciated, and was only 5 months old at the time. He had no interest in food, our vets said he likely experienced trauma with food because of how he acted. He had no clue what toys were either. Our vets worked hard to keep him alive. His body denied the blood and plasma transfusions so all we could do was wait and hope he could recover on his own. To our surprise, he pulled through. He came to us with completely white gums and barely any blood left in his body but Sage is a fighter and has no more health concerns!

He came to us not knowing how to be a normal puppy but has completely blossomed! He loves to snuggle, he enjoys playing with humans and other dogs, will be your shadow following you around the house, and whines with so much excitement whenever you tell him how good of a boy he is! For a puppy, he is very calm, but he still has typical puppy-tendencies. He is learning basic commands and picks up on them VERY quickly, he learned the "go potty" command in just 3 tries. He truly loves to please and wants to do the right thing.

URGENT

FOSTER NEEDED WITH NO OTHER PETS

🚨🚨🚨1 WEEK DEADLINE 🚨🚨🚨

We recently posted where a dog we helped a couple of years ago, RoDog, went missing. He's been found. He was picked up by OCAS and has been there for about a week.
Unfortunately, RoDog has not been able to be paired with other dogs, which confirms what we know of him. We are unsure of how he is with cats and would do best with older kids.

We got some more bad news about him today. During an evaluation, they noticed a mass in his re**um, which is speculated to be a tumor and needs further medical evaluation.

We don't know exactly what the future holds for RoDog, but we know we can't let this senior pitty spend his final days in a shelter. His deadline is October 5th.

We desperately need a foster/ adopter with no other pets to foster RoDog. This may be a fospice case. We will cover all medical costs and you will need to be able to travel to our vet partners.

Ro is a sweet old man who deserves this chance!

Please SHARE or ADOPT Fendi!

BUT PLEASE READ THE WHOLE POST. Fendi gets a lot of attention, because she's a beautiful Ragdoll sweetie. However, Fendi has bad anxiety and requires a very specific home that is not negotiable. She has already been adopted and returned to us once, we cannot let that happen again.

Fendi is an estimated two years old, spayed, and up to date on shots. She is extremely sweet and friendly. She is great with older children and calm dogs that are used to cats. She is terrified of other cats and cannot be in a home with them. She will not use her litter box if there are other cats in the house, which can lead to serious behavioral and medical issues. She is a total love bug and when she feels safe, she always out in the open and is very talkative. She needs to be in a calm and quiet home. She has a beautiful soft coat and will need to be brushed/ professionally groomed often.
She is a special girl that needs stability and a person with a quiet lifestyle. Fendi deserves a loving FOREVER home where she will never be abandoned.

Buddy, our senior chihuahua, is STILL looking for a FOREVER home!

Buddy is a 10-year-old, joyful and energetic little guy who just wants to spend all his time with his human. If you’re in a chair watching TV, so is Buddy. If you’re lying in bed taking a nap, so is Buddy. But for all his cuddles, he still loves to be outside walking around enjoying the breeze and has no issues bounding upstairs or onto low chairs. He will need help getting onto higher furniture and needs to be careful jumping down due to luxating patellas. Buddy does require extra cuddles during thunderstorms and fireworks.
Buddy has allergies and requires allergy medication as well as visits to the vet for a**l gland expression. Currently, Buddy is on a diet of duck and fish, which has helped with his skin and allergy problems quite a bit. Buddy maintains his healthy weight by eating several 4-ounce meals during the day. Buddy walks well on a leash and responds to being called back and told to “go inside.” Because of Buddy’s small size and good leash behavior, seniors can walk him without fear of being pulled off their feet.
Buddy should not be in a house with young children as he does get startled and bark. Buddy gets along with other dogs as long as the dog has no food aggression or has issues with attention being stolen away. Buddy does not recognize any boundaries other dogs may have. Buddy will not harm cats but does charge after them, which can cause stress for the cats. If the cat holds its ground, Buddy will walk away. It’s obvious that Buddy loves to play at bedtime by jumping around on the bed and demanding tummy rubs. Buddy is vocal and will bark at noises and out of excitement, but he has a very quiet bark. Buddy also loves riding in the car.
Buddy requires a home where he feels safe. He would do best in a household where there is someone home most of the time so he can get regular potty breaks along with having a secure lap to sit on.
All in all, Buddy is a pretty special dude
