Meet Scooby! ❤️ He's an eight year old sweetheart that adores the company of people and the attention they give him. He is gentle around children and is also dog and cat friendly. Being an older guy, he spends much of his day lounging and enjoying long snoozes in his comfy nest of blankets. During his more active moments, he tends to be playful and still likes zooming around the yard.

Scooby is well behaved in the home and knows several obedience commands. He has fantastic leash manners and enjoys walks, but prefers they be kept short. He thinks car rides are fun, but he may require some assistance in loading up. As Scooby needs to potty a few times a day, having someone home more frequently is preferred.

He is fostered in Winter Garden and is ready for adoption. If you would like to make Scooby a part of your family, please fill out an application and submit the processing fee. If you have questions about him or the adoption process, please email our adoption coordinator at [email protected].

We can help more dogs, if we have more foster families willing to open up their homes. GDLCF will provide the vetting, meds, food, crate - the essentials to help you care for your foster.

Please consider opening your home and your hearts to a foster.

Parker is a striking 4 year old who tends to be a bit shy when meeting new people. Once he's comfortable, he quickly becomes loving and affectionate. Parker is very playful and tends to bounce around when excited. He is a big fan of toys and likes playing tug. He also enjoys daily zoomies and is a great fetcher.

Parker is best suited for a tranquil household with an established routine. He needs some confidence building and requires a dog savvy owner that can help him reach his full potential. At present, Parker requires an adult-only home, as he finds the exuberance of children a bit unsettling. He must also be the only pet in the home, as he prefers not to share his people or his belongings.

Parker is extremely well behaved and respects boundaries with furniture and rooms. He already knows a number of obedience commands and adores car rides, especially when it includes a stop at the beach. He also has good leash manners and enjoys going on walks. Parker will require a fenced yard.

He is fostered in Orlando and is ready for adoption. If you would like to make him a part of your family, please fill out an application and submit the processing fee. If you have questions about Parker or the adoption process, please email our adoption coordinator at [email protected].

Meet Alpha! ❤️ He is an 11 month old boy who thrives on the companionship of his people. He does the very best snuggles and likes to give hugs. As he forms a strong attachment to his loved ones, his ideal home would have someone around frequently.

Alpha has a moderate energy level and enjoys playing with toys. He likes being involved in household activities and is always ready for a road trip, especially when it includes a pup cup. Alpha is extremely outgoing in social settings and enjoys making new friends. At home he's more reserved, barking initially at newcomers before moving in for some love.

He is very good with children, though older kids are recommended due to his size and play style. He is dog friendly, but caution is recommended with small dogs, as they can be trampled when he gets excited. Alpha is good with dog-savvy cats, but if they run he will chase them. He is crate trained, knows basic obedience and will require a fenced yard. He gets excited for walks and has reasonably good leash manners, though he can pull a bit when a quickly moving animal is encountered.

He is fostered in Melbourne Beach and is ready for adoption. If you would like to make him a part of your family, please fill out an application and submit the processing fee. If you have questions about Alpha or the adoption process, please email our adoption coordinator at [email protected].

Meet Delta! ❤️ She's a lovable and energetic pup with a lot of personality! At 11 months old, she has a playful nature and enjoys toys. She also likes all things water and loves snacking on ice cubes. Delta's playful moments are balanced by nap time and she truly values quality time with her people, especially when it involves activities like fetch or snuggling.

Though she can initially be a bit cautious around new people, Delta warms up quickly. She’s great with children, gets along well with other dogs and is vocal when alerting you to visitors or deliveries. Her curiosity shines through in her love for watching squirrels and observing the outside world from the window.

Delta is crate trained and knows basic commands. She adores walks and her leash manners are improving. Delta requires a fenced yard where she can explore and run freely. She has no history with cats.

She is fostered in Titusville and is ready for adoption. If you would like to make her a part of your family, please fill out an application and submit the processing fee. If you have questions about Delta or the adoption process, please email our adoption coordinator at [email protected].

Money is a handsome two year old boy who enjoys cuddling in bed with his people. He has a moderate energy level and loves playing tug. Money is friendly with everyone he meets and enjoys offering a paw as a greeting. He can be a bit too eager for attention and has been known to deliver a playful slap in his quest for love.

He is great with kids and other dogs, but has no history with cats. Money is crate trained and well-mannered in the home, though he does have a tendency to snack on shoes. He is a messy drinker and a heavy drooler, so having towels on hand is a must. He also has dry eyes and requires daily drops for them.

Money knows how to Sit and will occasionally comply with Down. Walks are enjoyable for him and though he may initially pull on the leash, he eventually settles in and likes exploring the neighborhood. Money travels well in vehicles and will require a fenced yard.

He is fostered in Orlando and is ready for adoption. If you would like to make him a part of your family, please fill out an application and submit the processing fee. If you have questions about Money or the adoption process, please email our adoption coordinator at [email protected].

Sadie is a spirited and independent 7 month old with an inquisitive nature. She loves to play tug and splash in puddles, especially when they are muddy. She often engages in wrestling matches with her foster siblings, showcasing her playful, high-energy personality. Sadie would definitely benefit from having a large dog buddy who can keep up with her rough-and-tumble style of play. She is not recommended for a home with small dogs or cats.

Sadie thrives in an active household where she can be included in daily activities and outdoor adventures. As she truly flourishes in the presence of her people, she would do best in a home with someone around frequently. She's testing her boundaries a bit and can be a little mouthy when excited. Her foster family is using positive reinforcement and redirection to help her overcome these tendencies. Sadie generally behaves well around children, though she may occasionally jump up in excitement.

She is crate trained and has already mastered several obedience commands. Her leash manners still need a little work and she prefers that her walks be kept short. Sadie is great in the car and loves outings to the beach. She will require a fenced yard.

Sadie is intact and will be adopted on a spay contract. She is up to date on vaccines, microchipped and on a monthly heartworm preventative. She is fostered in Merritt Island and is ready for adoption. If you would like to make her a part of your family, please fill out an application and submit the processing fee. If you have questions about Sadie or the adoption process, please email our adoption coordinator at [email protected].

Hurley is a handsome 4 year old who thrives on love and companionship. He absolutely adores his people and is happiest in their company. He is an excellent couch snuggler as well as a notorious bed hog. Hurley's quiet time is usually short-lived and then he's off to engage his foster sisters in some boisterous play.

He tends to reflect the energy around him, so a calmer household with someone home frequently is ideal. A large, playful dog buddy would be perfect for him, as it would help channel his liveliness and provide companionship. Despite his roughhousing, he is mindful of smaller dogs and has done well with children age 7 and older. He is also cat friendly.

While Hurley is crate trained, it's not required as he is well-behaved when home alone. He has decent leash manners and enjoys walks. *A 6 foot fence is an absolute must, as he can jump anything lower.* Hurley is fostered in Titusville and is ready for adoption. If you would like to make him a part of your family, please fill out an application and submit the processing fee. If you have questions about Hurley or the adoption process, please email our adoption coordinator at [email protected].

Hazel is a playful two year old with a moderate energy level. She loves her plush toys and has a fondness for sticks. Hazel also enjoys spending time outdoors exploring and requires a fenced yard.

She is a shy girl who needs time to settle in and adjust to new environments. Once she’s comfortable, her sweet nature becomes evident. In order for Hazel to thrive, she requires a dog savvy home that will understand her needs, as well as a quiet household with an established routine.

Hazel is fostered with children and enjoys their company. She is also dog friendly, but as with people, will need some time to feel comfortable enough to make friends. Hazel is crate trained and cat friendly. She does enjoy walks, as long as she’s not required to be up close and personal with strangers.

She is fostered in Orlando and is ready for adoption. *As Hazel can be skittish around new people, a couple of visits to get to know her are encouraged.* If you would like to make her a part of your family, please fill out an application and submit the processing fee. If you have questions about Hazel or the adoption process, please email our adoption coordinator at [email protected].
