Ziti puts the Party in Parti Poodle.

Meet Ziti, a gorgeous brown and white Standard Poodle with a goofy personality, a big heart, and the kind of energy that makes life more fun. After spending the beginning of her life in a breeder/hoarding situation, Ziti is finally getting to experience what being loved, spoiled, and part of a family feels like, and she is fully leaning in.

This girl is SMART. Ziti already knows basic commands like sit, down, and wait, is working agility, and absolutely loves toys, games, and activities. She’s the kind of dog who will toss a toy around by herself just to keep the party going.

About Ziti:
•2 years old, 50 pounds
•Super playful, athletic, and goofy
•Loves walks and is doing really well with leash training
•Rides great in the car
•Fully potty trained
•Crate trained (but prefers sleeping near her people)
•Loves other dogs and would love a playful medium/large dog friend
•Loves chasing squirrels
•No cats — Ziti’s prey drive makes a cat-free home the best fit

Ziti is becoming more confident every day and warms right up to people and dogs. She loves being close to her humans and would do best in an active home where someone is around often. A fenced yard, and doggy-sibling is ideal for this fun-loving poodle girl.

Like all Standard Poodles, Ziti will need regular grooming every 6–8 weeks to keep her coat healthy and beautiful.

If you’re looking for a dog that will make you laugh daily, keep you active, and become your little shadow, Ziti might be your perfect match.

Spayed, heartworm negative, and up to date on vaccines.

𝐂𝐚𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐫 + 𝐋𝐮𝐦𝐢 ♥️

These two aren’t your “easy” dogs, and we won’t pretend they are.

They’ve been in foster care since November 2025 after a month-long stay at Hernando County Animal Services, and they’ve received 0 applications. 😭

They didn’t come from a life where people were kind, predictable, or safe, and it shows. They’re still learning what it means to trust, relax, and simply be dogs.

But here’s what matters:

They try.

Every single day, they try.

The moment they see their foster mom, their tails wag, their bodies wiggle, and Lumi adds her own happy little soundtrack. It’s one of the few times their guard comes down completely.

Casper is the braver of the two and often lets his guard down first. Lumi is still figuring things out. She isn’t comfortable with touch yet, but she has made huge progress and will happily sit beside you on the couch. She also has a funny habit of booping her foster mom’s toes. 😂

Both are incredibly food motivated, love toys and chew bones, and are basically house trained. 🙌

They do great with small and medium-sized dogs, but a home without cats is a must.

Most importantly, they love each other. They are truly a bonded pair. ❤️❤️

They will need:
✅ A secure 6-foot fenced yard
✅ A calm, patient home without children
✅ Someone who understands that progress takes time

They’re not for everyone.

But they will be everything to the right person.

The dogs that make you work for their trust often end up being the ones who love the hardest.

If you think you might be that person—or know someone who is—please reach out. They deserve a forever home.

🐩 Meet Floyd 🖤🤎

Floyd is a 3-year-old Standard Poodle with stunning phantom coloring and an even sweeter personality. At 59lbs, he’s the perfect mix of handsome, smart, and loving.

✔️ Great with dogs of all sizes he’s met (from 8lbs and up)
✔️ Excellent for grooming
✔️ Crate trained & house trained
✔️ Non-destructive in the home

Floyd’s only “work in progress” items are that he can be strong on leash and thinks squirrels and birds are VERY serious business 😂

He would do best in a home with another dog companion, as he doesn’t enjoy being left alone - but if he has a doggy friend with him, he’s perfectly content and quiet.

Floyd truly is a gem and such an easy, wonderful dog to have around. ❤️

✨ Neutered
✨ Vaccinated
✨ Microchipped

Sweet Tillie 💛

If you’re looking for an affectionate, loyal companion who just wants to be near her people, Tillie is your girl 💞

She’s the definition of a velcro dog and happiest curled up next to her humans. Tillie is incredibly well mannered, potty trained, crate trained, walks beautifully on a leash and rides great in the car. At around 45 lbs, she’s the perfect medium size too! 🐕

She’s good with other dogs and enjoys being loved on. Tillie also does wonderfully for brushing and ear cleanings, though she will need regular grooming to keep her coat maintained. She is a poodle mix, but we don’t know what mix ☀️ She does chase bunnies, so we’re unsure how she would do with cats.

Her ideal home would be with someone who is home often and doesn’t mind sharing the couch or bed with their dog - she’s a snuggler. She truly is such an excellent girl 🥹

✨ Potty trained
✨ Crate trained
✨ Good with dogs
✨ Great on a leash
✨ Excellent in the car
✨ Sweet, affectionate & well behaved

Tillie is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped and heartworm negative. She’s fostered in Clearwater and her adoption fee is $400.

FIFI HAD HER PUPPIES!!! ❤️🥳🥰

Our sweet Mama Fifi gave birth to 6 puppies overnight 🥳 We saw 4 on the ultrasound - and we always expect a stowaway - but then #6 came too! ☺️ She has 4 boys and 2 girls, all of them are healthy, nursing good and sooooo cute. The first girl was born before midnight (05/25) and the rest of the crew was born today.

Fifi is absolutely exhausted and so are we. But through it all, she’s the sweetest mom. She loved all of the help she received during labor and has been pampered and hand fed all day. She definitely deserves to be treated like a queen right now ❤️

Next step ➡️ we need a theme for their names! 👀

We are so grateful that we were trusted to help Fifi and that her puppies are all healthy ❤️

We’ll keep you updated on these precious babies!

🌴 Just TWO island girls left! 🌴

Bimini & Nassau are still looking for their forever homes ❤️

Their mama, Bahama, was a scruffy blonde girl - possibly a Poodle mix - but it’s very clear dad was a German Shepherd 😂 These girls are beautiful, social, affectionate puppies who LOVE people and attention.

• Bimini is slightly more independent and absolutely loves water 💦
• Nassau is a little more Velcro and loves staying close to her humans.

They are energetic girls and will need adopters committed to training, exercise and structure as they grow. We think they’d do well with older kids, but they are still learning puppy manners and will be large dogs. They are 4 months old and already about 25lbs.

We’re still waiting on Fifi’s puppies 💕

Her temperature was 98.4 this morning, but she’s eating great, playing and acting totally normal. She’s getting extra treats and just finished lunch with some goat milk 💪🏼🥛

We keep thinking each day is going to be the day, but she’s keeping us waiting and keeping those babies safe 🩷

We can’t wait! 🥰

We’re expecting… PUPPIES! 😳🐾

Our sweet mama Fifi is expecting puppies any minute now and we’re on eggshells 🥰

About 6 weeks ago, we were asked to help 6 standard poodles that were being kept in terrible conditions in a garage. They were all literally skeletons, with every bump and bone showing 💔 They all went to foster homes and started being fed 3x per day, getting great supplements and trying to get healthy enough to get fixed.

Until…. one sweet girl started getting a little belly and acting differently 🤰 We took her to see Dr. Shrode for an ultrasound and learned that although she had only been with us for 30 days, she was 45-50 days pregnant! 😳 Dogs are pregnant for about 60 days, so she was already in the home stretch. Only 4 puppies were seen on ultrasound - but all with spines and little heartbeats 💓

For 3 days now, Fifi’s temperature has been dropping from 101.1 to 99.2 as of this morning. Her belly is big, milk has come in and we’re spoiling her as much as we can. Fifi is the sweetest angel and will be the best mom 🩷

👉🏼 Do you think she will have more than 4?

👉🏼 Who can guess when they will be born?

We can’t wait to meet her baby poodles 🥰

Please wish Fifi a healthy delivery and for all healthy babies. We’ll post updates soon! 💕
