🚨 ORLANDO, FL — SENIOR MAX NEEDS A FOSTER OR ADOPTER! 🚨

💔 8-YEAR-OLD MAX NEEDS MORE MEDICAL CARE THAN THE SHELTER CAN PROVIDE. 💔

MAX — A555767
🐾 8 years old | 55 lbs
🐕 German Shepherd mix
📍 Orange County Animal Services (OCAS)

Sweet Max came into the shelter as a confiscation case, and now this older gentleman needs someone willing to give him the safe, comfortable home he deserves. 🥺

Despite everything he’s been through, Max is described as such a good boy:

❤️ Easily leashed
🤲 Allows full handling
🐾 Returns to his kennel kindly
🏠 Available for foster or adoption

Unfortunately, Max also has medical needs that require care beyond what the shelter can provide.

🩺 Old fracture of his left elbow that needs to be addressed
🦷 Possible dental disease
🏥 Needs evaluation and care through a full-service veterinarian

At 8 years old, Max shouldn’t be sitting in a kennel needing medical care. He deserves a soft bed, a safe home and someone willing to show him that his best days can still be ahead of him.

🐶 DOG INFO: Max may be able to live with canine siblings with initial separation followed by slow and appropriate introductions.

🏠 FOSTER NEEDED — fostering is temporary and can give a rescue somewhere safe for Max to land while his medical needs are addressed.

❤️ ADOPTER NEEDED

🙏 RESCUE NEEDED

💰 MEDICAL PLEDGES NEEDED! Please comment your pledge amount below. Pledges can help offset the veterinary costs for the rescue that steps up for him.

📣 PLEASE SHARE MAX. Tag rescues, senior-dog lovers, fosters and adopters who might be able to help.

🚨🚨 URGENT — DEADLINE 8/18 AT 5 PM — ORLANDO, FL 🚨🚨

💔 7-YEAR-OLD PIPPA NEEDS A FOSTER OR ADOPTER — AND SHE NEEDS MEDICAL CARE. 💔

PIPPA — A602654
🐾 7 years old | 50 lbs
📍 Orange County Animal Services (OCAS)

Look at those beautiful eyes. 🥺❤️

Pippa is a sweet, affectionate, housebroken 7-year-old girl who should be curled up in a home — not sitting in a shelter with medical concerns and a deadline of August 18 at 5 PM.

Everything we’re hearing about Pippa’s personality makes her sound like an absolute sweetheart:

❤️ Friendly and affectionate
🥰 Seeks social interaction
🦮 Easily leashed
🐾 Walks very nicely
🤲 Allows full and easy handling
🏠 HOUSEBROKEN

Unfortunately, Pippa also has medical concerns that need evaluation and care from a full-service veterinarian.

🩺 Grade 4/6 heart murmur
🩺 Pendulous mammary-chain mass
🩺 Firm mammary mass

These medical findings do not tell us what Pippa’s future will be. They tell us that she needs proper veterinary evaluation — something she deserves the opportunity to receive.

Right now, the most important thing is getting her out of the shelter and somewhere safe.

🏠 FOSTER NEEDED — even a temporary foster can give a rescue somewhere for Pippa to go while her medical needs are addressed.

❤️ ADOPTER NEEDED

🙏 RESCUE NEEDED

💰 MEDICAL PLEDGES NEEDED! Pledges are especially important for Pippa because they can help offset the veterinary expenses a rescue may take on. Please comment your pledge amount below.

📣 PLEASE SHARE PIPPA EVERYWHERE. Tag rescues, medical fosters, adopters and anyone who may be willing to open their home to this sweet girl.

🚨 DEADLINE 8/18 AT 5 PM — ORLANDO, FL 🚨

🚨🚨 URGENT — DEADLINE 8/18 AT 5 PM — ORLANDO, FL 🚨🚨

💔 KAI WAS ADOPTED… AND RETURNED THE VERY NEXT DAY. NOW HE HAS A DEADLINE. 💔

KAI — A597575
🐾 3 years old | 50 lbs
📍 Orange County Animal Services (OCAS)

Kai was adopted on 8/1.

By 8/2, he was back at the shelter.

His new home reportedly returned him after he growled at another dog. He was given less than 24 hours to adjust to a completely new home, new people, new smells, new routines and potentially another dog.

He wasn’t given the time to truly decompress or get acclimated.

And now this 3-year-old boy is back at OCAS, finding the shelter environment extremely stressful — with a deadline of August 18 at 5 PM.

Yet look at how Kai is described:

❤️ Affectionate
🥰 Seeks social interaction
🦮 Easily leashed
🤲 Allows full handling
🎾 Playful
⚡ Energetic

🐶 DOG INFO: Kai may be able to live with canine siblings with patience, initial separation, and slow and appropriate introductions.

A shelter dog needs time to decompress. One growl during the first day in an unfamiliar environment should not define the rest of Kai’s life.

He needs someone who understands that bringing a dog home isn’t always instant perfection. Sometimes they need patience. Sometimes they need space. Sometimes they simply need someone willing to give them a real chance.

🏠 FOSTER NEEDED

❤️ ADOPTER NEEDED

🙏 RESCUE NEEDED

💰 PLEDGES NEEDED — comment your pledge amount below to help attract rescue interest!

📣 PLEASE SHARE KAI. Tag experienced fosters, patient adopters and rescues who can give him the chance he deserved the first time.

💔 ARIES NEEDS A FOSTER OR ADOPTER! 💔

ARIES — A602190
🐾 2 years old | 63 lbs
📍 Orange County Animal Services (OCAS)

Sweet Aries lost his home through absolutely no fault of his own. He was surrendered because his owner was being evicted. Now this 2-year-old boy has gone from living in a home to sitting in a stressful shelter environment with a deadline of August 18 at 5 PM.

Aries sounds like such a fun, sweet boy. ❤️

🐾 Sweet and friendly
🦮 Easily leashed
🤲 Allows full handling
🎾 Very playful
🧸 LOVES his toys — so much that staff says it’s difficult to get him away from them!

Aries is accustomed to living in a home, and shelter life has understandably been difficult for him.

🐶 DOG INFO: Aries has previously been paired with Chance, an intact male dog. He may be able to live with canine siblings with separation, patience, and slow, appropriate introductions.

This boy had a home. He had toys. He had a person. Then an eviction changed everything.

Please don’t let losing his home lead to Aries losing his life.

🏠 FOSTER NEEDED — fostering is temporary and can give a rescue the safe place they need to pull him.

❤️ ADOPTER NEEDED

🙏 RESCUE NEEDED

💰 PLEDGES NEEDED — comment your pledge amount below to help encourage rescue interest!

📣 PLEASE SHARE ARIES. Tag rescues, fosters, adopters, friends — anyone who might be able to help.

🚨🚨 DEADLINE 8/11 AT 5 PM — ORLANDO, FL 🚨🚨

💔 DUNKIN NEEDS A RESCUE, FOSTER & PLEDGES NOW 💔

Dunkin is only 3 years old and 10.5 pounds. He was adopted from the shelter just last week, but was returned after his medical condition continued to worsen.

Now he is out of time.

🚨 DUNKIN MUST HAVE PLACEMENT BY TUESDAY, 8/11 AT 5 PM. 🚨

Dunkin has developed severe sores and inflammation affecting all four paws, with areas of his paw pads actually peeling away. He also has sores between his toes, around his paws and on both elbows.

The shelter is concerned there could be a serious underlying medical condition causing this, possibly an autoimmune disease, liver-related skin disease, cancer or another condition. He needs diagnostics and veterinary care beyond what the shelter can provide.

He may need bloodwork, biopsies, specialist care and potentially longer-term treatment.

But first, he needs to make it out alive.

🙏 WE NEED:

🏡 A FOSTER OR ADOPTER willing to give this little 10-lb boy somewhere safe to land

❤️ A RESCUE able to take him under their organization and get him the medical care he desperately needs

💰 PLEDGES to help a rescue say YES despite the unknown medical costs ahead

📣 SHARES — especially in Central Florida and with medical rescues

Dunkin is only 3 years old. Whatever is happening to his little body, he deserves the chance to get answers and treatment. He should not lose his life because his medical needs are more than the shelter can manage.

Please help us get Dunkin out before 5 PM tomorrow.

📍 Orange County Animal Services
Orlando, Florida
🐾 DUNKIN —
Male, neutered
3 years old

🚨 DEADLINE TUESDAY 8/11 AT 5 PM 🚨
BELLA NEEDS A FOSTER + PLEDGES TO SAVE HER LIFE! 💔

Sweet little Bella (A599245) is only 1 year old and 30 lbs — still just a puppy. She has a deadline at Orange County Animal Services on Tuesday, August 11 at 5 PM, and we desperately need a committed foster and pledges so a rescue can step up for her. 🙏❤️

Bella came into the shelter as a confiscation, meaning her previous owner failed to provide for her. After everything she has already been through, this sweet girl deserves the chance to learn what it feels like to be safe and loved.

🐾 ABOUT BELLA:
❤️ Only 1 year old
❤️ Just 30 lbs — the perfect little size
❤️ Sweet and friendly
❤️ Allows full handling
❤️ Wiggly and excited to go for walks
❤️ Walks nicely on leash
❤️ Loves sitting in her handler’s lap 🥹
❤️ Could potentially live with canine siblings with separation initially and slow, appropriate introductions

Bella becomes agitated when she has to go back into her kennel — and honestly, who can blame her? She wants to be out of that kennel and curled up in someone’s lap.

🚨 BELLA IS RESCUE ONLY, SO WE NEED A RESCUE TO STEP UP — AND A FOSTER + PLEDGES CAN HELP MAKE THAT POSSIBLE.

🏡 FOSTER: If you can temporarily open your home to Bella, please comment/message ASAP. Rescue covers medical care.

💰 PLEDGE: Please comment your pledge amount below. Even $5, $10 or $20 adds up and can help a rescue say YES.

📣 SHARE: Please share Bella everywhere. We have until TUESDAY 8/11 AT 5 PM.

Bella is only one year old. Her whole life should still be ahead of her. Please help us make sure it is. 🙏❤️

GORDO NEEDS A FOSTER OR ADOPTER BEFORE HIS DEADLINE. PLEDGES NEEDED! 🙏❤️

Meet sweet Gordo and his adorable little teeth. 😭 This 5-year-old, 56-lb gentleman had a home and lost it when his owner surrendered him due to a move.

Now Gordo is finding shelter life incredibly stressful, and he needs placement by 5 PM TUESDAY, 8/11.

🏡 WE NEED A FOSTER OR ADOPTER
❤️ WE NEED A RESCUE TO STEP UP
💰 WE NEED PLEDGES TO HELP A RESCUE SAY YES

Gordo has so much going for him:

🐾 Housebroken
👧 Reported good with children
🏡 Accustomed to living in a home
🦮 Walks very nicely on leash
❤️ Seeks social interaction
🥹 Gently returns to his kennel
🐶 Prefers female dogs and could potentially live with a canine sister

Gordo is described as a gentleman. He enjoys independently exploring the play yard but also seeks out his people. He walks beautifully on leash and gently returns to his kennel when asked.

But this sweet boy desperately needs to get back into a home.

He knows what having a family feels like. He knows how to live in a home. He was surrendered because his owner was moving, and now he is struggling with the stress of suddenly living in a shelter.

🚨 PLEASE HELP US SAVE GORDO BEFORE TUESDAY. 🚨

🏡 FOSTER: If you can temporarily open your home to Gordo, please reach out. Having a committed foster may allow a rescue to step up and save him.

❤️ ADOPT: If Gordo sounds like the missing piece of your family, please consider giving him the permanent home he desperately needs.

🐾 RESCUES: We need rescue commitment for Gordo. Please reach out if your rescue can help.

💰 PLEDGE: Please leave your pledge amount in the comments. Pledges can help provide the financial support a rescue needs to take him into their care.

🚨🚨 ORLANDO, FL — 5 PM DEADLINE TUESDAY 8/11 — FOSTER, RESCUE AND PLEDGES NEEDED 🚨🚨

POLARIS HAS A DEADLINE. WE NEED A FOSTER TO HELP SAVE HIS LIFE.

Big, gorgeous Polaris is 5 years old and 83 lbs. He was adopted last year, but heartbreakingly was found as a stray again in July. Now he is back at Orange County Animal Services and needs placement by 5 PM TUESDAY, 8/11.

We desperately need someone willing to FOSTER POLARIS so a rescue can step up for him. 🙏

And this boy has SO much going for him.

🐾 Housebroken
🐾 Allows full handling
🐾 Easily leashed and walks nicely
🐾 Knows multiple commands
🐾 Smart and treat motivated
🐾 Loves water and swimming
🐾 Has his own adorable handshake
🐾 Has successfully shared kennel space with other dogs

Polaris may look like a big, serious guy, but during his previous stay at OCAS, staff described him as “an incredibly big and soft teddy bear.” They wrote that once he warmed up, he became a giant puppy who wanted to climb into your lap for attention and love. 🥹🖤

Polaris has also shown encouraging history with other dogs. He shared his kennel with multiple dogs during his previous shelter stay and recently shared with Rocky, an intact male. OCAS previously wrote that Polaris “liked the company of other dogs.”

Shelter life has been hard on him. Polaris does not like returning to his kennel and has shown concerns around sharing food. He needs out of this stressful environment and into a home where he can decompress.

🚨 WE NEED A FOSTER. 🚨

If you are in the Central Florida area and can temporarily open your home to Polaris, PLEASE COMMENT, MESSAGE ME, OR APPLY TO FOSTER WITH A LOCAL RESCUE. A committed foster could be what allows a rescue to say YES and get him safely out of OCAS before his deadline.

You do not have to commit to adopting him to save his life. FOSTERING SAVES LIVES.

💰 PLEASE PLEDGE for Polaris in the comments. Pledges can help encourage a rescue to step up and provide the resources needed for his care.

📣 SHARE. TAG RESCUES. TAG POTENTIAL FOSTERS.

⏰ DEADLINE: TUESDAY 8/11 AT 5 PM
📍 Orange County Animal Services — Orlando, FL

💗 WILMA A601254

🚨 ORLANDO, FL – DEADLINE TUESDAY 8/4 AT 5 PM 🚨

She looks like she belongs on someone’s couch—not on a euthanasia list.

Wilma is an affectionate, gentle 8-year-old girl who arrived as a stray just over a week ago. She hasn’t even been given a real chance to find her family before ending up on the deadline list.

She walks beautifully on leash, seeks out affection, and simply wants to be near people. Shelter staff believe she once had a family because she seems so heartbroken and scared to suddenly be alone.

She coexists with other dogs and could share a home with canine siblings after slow introductions.

Wilma may have mastitis and needs evaluation by a full-service veterinarian, but rescue will ensure she receives the care she needs.

🏡 We urgently need a foster.
💲 We need pledges to help a rescue pull her.
🏥 Rescue covers approved medical expenses.

After everything she’s been through, Wilma deserves comfort—not a shelter kennel.

Please foster, share, or pledge for Wilma today.

🧡 BAMBI A598578

🚨 ORLANDO, FL – DEADLINE TUESDAY 8/4 AT 5 PM 🚨

She already thought she had her happy ending.

Bambi was adopted just one week after arriving as a stray. Then only four days later, she was returned.

Not because she was aggressive.
Not because she was a bad dog.

She simply wasn’t the right fit for the resident cats. There were no altercations—they just weren’t a match.

Now this beautiful 3-year-old girl is back in the shelter, and she’s mentally declining. She hates being in her kennel, but the moment she sees a leash, her entire personality comes alive. She becomes happy, wiggly, relaxed, and so excited just to spend time with someone.

Bambi is rescue only, which means she needs a foster home for a rescue to save her.

🏡 We urgently need a foster.
💲 We need pledges to help a rescue commit.
🏥 Rescue covers approved medical expenses.

She already lost one home. Please don’t let her lose her life too.

Foster. Share. Pledge. Save Bambi.
