19. Klara
Young · Female · Dachshund / Mixed (long coat) · 91 mi from Fort Pierce










1 year old 13 pound dachshund mix from Puerto Rico
Her perfect home would be one where she had someone who loves to get kisses and loves to scratch a belly.
Klara is a playful girl and would do well with another playful dog or someone who could play with her expend some energy.
She would love to be in a home where people are home most of the time. She is not a fan of being left alone, but is SO much better. She has discovered lick mats, doggie puzzles, has a safe crate of her own and settles herself down pretty quickly. We are very proud of the progress she has made.
Read more about Klara
Teaching her tricks will build her confidence and that helps her mature also (we are working on that now and it's very good for her).
Klara is a snuggly and sweet girl and we know that the right family is out there for her.
20. Memo
Senior · Male · Dachshund / Chihuahua / Mixed (short coat) · 91 mi from Fort Pierce







10 year old 5.5 pound chihuahua
He has no teeth.
Memo came to us from Puerto Rico
He’s a snuggly boy who likes to be held like a baby
His lack of teeth doesn’t get in the way of his eating, he just needs soft food or soaked kibble.
He is good with all people.
He is good with other dogs, he does have some stereotypical Chihuahua traits, growls when other dogs come near his favorite bed for example, but he has no teeth and it’s just a little warning, nothing of concern.
He would be fine with other dogs or as an only dog.
He likes soft beds, head scratches, exploring outside and laying in the sun.
21. Harrison Yorkie On Wheels
Adult · Male · Yorkshire Terrier Yorkie · 51 mi from Fort Pierce




All adoptions include a home visit. You must live in Broward or Palm Beach County.HarrisonYorkshire Terrier · Almost 8 Years Old · 7 lbs There are dogs that make you rethink everything you thought you knew about limitations. Harrison is one of them.This seven-pound Yorkshire Terrier moves through life with a joy so contagious it stops people in their tracks. He is paralyzed in his lower legs, and he has absolutely no interest in letting that define him. Strap him into his wheelchair and watch him bounce around with an enthusiasm that makes you wonder why you ever complained about anything. When he is out of his wheels, his padded drag bag keeps his legs protected so he can maneuver comfortably and confidently on his own terms.
Read more about Harrison Yorkie On Wheels
Harrison does not need your sympathy. He needs your company, a good throw of his favorite toy, and a warm spot to cuddle when the fetch session is over.He is playful, loving, hypoallergenic, and deeply social with people. Take him out into the world, and he greets it like a dog who knows exactly how good life is. He has earned that perspective.Harrison does have a heart murmur and is managed comfortably on cardiac medication, which Get A Life Pet Rescue will cover for life. He also needs his bladder expressed every six hours during waking hours, a gentle, simple technique involving light pressure on each side of the bladder to release urine. Because Harrison does not drink water through the night, this is not needed after he settles in for the evening, making nighttime completely manageable for any household. We will make sure every adopter and their network is fully trained and confident in this before Harrison goes to his devoted home. And that word, network, is the heart of what Harrison needs most.His ideal adopter is someone who loves him fiercely and also comes prepared with a circle of trusted, trained people around them. Dog sitters, neighbors, family members, close friends, anyone who can step in on a long day away from home or during travel to provide his care on schedule. This does not need to be complicated or large. It simply needs to exist. Get A Life Pet Rescue will provide full hands-on training for everyone in that circle, and we will do our best to serve as a backup sitter ourselves when we are available.In return for that village, Harrison will give every single person in it something they did not expect. He will show up to every interaction with his whole heart, fetch game ready, cuddle mode fully operational, and that unmistakable Yorkie spark that reminds you that the size of a life has nothing to do with the size of the body living it.Harrison is not a dog who needs to be saved. He has already saved himself. He is simply waiting for the right people to recognize what an extraordinary privilege it is to be chosen by him.Get A Life Pet Rescue will cover Harrison's cardiac medication and basic veterinary care at our vet in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, for life. Check his VIDEO PLAYLIST. Please Like & Follow his FaceBook Page. If you are interested, please fill out the adoption application. For additional information regarding our adoption process, please check our FAQ's Page. WWW.GETALIFEPETRESCUE.COM This dog's adoption fee is $100 to go towards their vetting (vaccines, spay/neuter, heartworm/Ehrlichia/Lyme test, fecal test, pre-op blood work, dental cleaning, and microchip, as well as grooming if needed). If you are interested, please fill out the adoption application. For additional information regarding our adoption process, please check our FAQ's Page. All dogs in the care of Get a Life Pet Rescue live in loving foster homes while waiting for their perfect match.

Meet Figaro!
Figaro is approximately 4 years old, weighs 14 pounds, and appears to be a Poodle mix, possibly with Shih Tzu thrown into the family tree.
Read more about Figaro
He’s also a brand-new arrival, and Figaro would like everyone to know that he already has opinions.
This funny little guy likes to talk, and he isn’t shy about adding his own commentary to whatever is happening around him. We’re still learning his full vocabulary, but something tells us life with Figaro is not going to be quiet or boring.
He’s good with other dogs and has already revealed one very important piece of information about himself: Figaro LOVES treats. If negotiations are ever required, we know exactly where to begin.
Figaro came to us needing some grooming, and his makeover is still a work in progress. Underneath all that hair is a handsome little guy slowly emerging, one snip at a time.
Because he’s new to Canine Castaways, we’re still getting to know him. There’s plenty left to discover about his personality, habits, and what kind of home will suit him best.
But so far?
He’s funny. He’s chatty. He likes dogs. He loves snacks. And apparently, he has a lot to say about all of it.
Stay tuned. We have a feeling Figaro is just getting started.

NAME: Moxie
BREED: Mixed breed
SEX: female
COLOR: tan
AGE: 7 months as of Sept 2026
WEIGHT: 12 lbs as of Sept 22, 2026
SOME COOL INFORMATION ABOUT ME:
Meet Moxie!
Moxie is a 7-month-old, 12-pound girl who is still figuring out just how big and wonderful the world can be.
Read more about Moxie
Right now, Moxie is a very timid puppy. New people, new situations, and unfamiliar things can make her unsure, so we’re spending time helping her build confidence and learn that she doesn’t have to be afraid.
She’s good with other dogs, and having canine friends around gives her opportunities to play, learn, and watch how the more confident dogs navigate the world.
Because Moxie is still young and we’re still getting to know her, there’s plenty we haven’t discovered yet. Her personality is still unfolding, and we suspect there’s a lot more puppy hiding underneath that cautious exterior.
What Moxie needs most is someone who understands that confidence isn’t something you can rush. A patient family willing to encourage her, celebrate the little victories, and give her the time she needs could make an enormous difference in her life.
We are only considering homes in our local area - 1 hour or less from Arcadia FL. If you have adopted from us before and are slightly out of that area, please contact us directly and we can discuss it. Moxie still needs to be spayed. All appointments for spay/neuter surgery will be done at our vet's office in Arcadia so you must be willing to bring him to his appointment in order to be considered for adoption.

SOME COOL INFORMATION ABOUT ME:
Meet Sebastian!
Read more about Sebastian
Sebastian is a 10-month-old Yorkie/Chihuahua mix weighing just 5.5 pounds, and this tiny guy is everything you’d expect a happy puppy to be.
He’s playful, curious, sweet, and ready to discover what this whole big world is about. At his age, just about everything has the potential to become an adventure, and Sebastian is happy to participate!
Because Sebastian is a brand-new arrival at Canine Castaways, we’re still getting to know him. We haven’t discovered all his favorite things, funny quirks, or exactly what his grown-up personality will be just yet.
What we do know is that he’s a happy little puppy who’s ready to learn, play, love, and grow up with a family of his own.
Like any puppy, Sebastian will need a family prepared for all the work that comes along with raising a youngster, including continued house training, leash skills, basic manners, and plenty of opportunities to learn and socialize.
We are only considering homes in our local area - 1 hour or less from Arcadia FL. If you have adopted from us before and are slightly out of that area, please contact us directly and we can discuss it. Sebastian still needs to be neutered. All appointments for neuter surgery will be done at our vet's office in Arcadia so you must be willing to bring him to his appointment in order to be considered for adoption.

30. Dolly

All adoptions include a home visit. You must live in Broward or Palm Beach CountyDollyChinese Crested Powder Puff · 7 Years Old · 5 lbs (will be 7-8Lbs)Hello, Dolly. This is Get A Life Pet Rescue, Dolly. And it is so nice to have you rehab here where you belong.When little Dolly came to us, life had not been kind to her. She arrived with a severe eye injury, far too underweight, and far too malnourished for the dental work and spay she so desperately needed. But she came to us, and that changed everything. We provided the surgery to remove her injured eye and get her comfortable, and from that moment on, this tiny five-pound Powder Puff began the most important comeback of her life.You're lookin' swell, Dolly.
Read more about Dolly
I can tell, Dolly. You're still glowin', you're still crowin', you're still goin' strong.And she is. Thanks to her foster parents' care and compassion. Dolly is gaining ground, gaining weight, and gaining the kind of trust in people that took patience and love to earn. She is becoming more interactive, more affectionate, and more herself with every passing week in her foster home. When she sees her foster parents reaching for her treats, this girl does not just sit politely. She dances. She pushes gently on your leg with all five pounds of her enthusiasm, letting you know in no uncertain terms that she is here, she is happy, and she would very much like that snack now.Dolly is a Chinese Crested Powder Puff, one of the most gloriously unique and tenderhearted breeds you will ever have the privilege of knowing. Soft, cloud-like fur like the popular Maltese breed we tagged her with for her to be more visible in searches. She deeply bonds to her foodie people. Dolly is the kind of dog who fills a room simply by being in it. She is working her way to a healthy seven pounds, and once she reaches that milestone, she will be ready for her spay, her dental care, and the forever home that has been waiting for her all along.So find her an empty lap, fellas. Dolly'll never go away again.We are looking for someone with a quiet, loving home who understands that this little girl has already been through enough, and who is ready to give her all the warmth, gentleness, and treat-fueled dance parties she deserves for the rest of her days.Dolly did not just survive her story. She is dancing her way through it. Now it is time for her to find the lap where she finally, truly stays.This dog's adoption fee is $450 to go towards their vetting (vaccines, spay/neuter, heartworm/Ehrlichia/Lyme test, fecal test, pre-op blood work, dental cleaning, and microchip as well as grooming if needed). If you are interested, please fill out the adoption application. For additional information regarding our adoption process, please check our FAQ's Page.

Adopting a small dog in Fort Pierce
Small dogs suit apartments and smaller homes, are easy to take along, and many live well into their teens.
They still need daily walks, play and training. Small dogs can be fragile, so ask the rescue how they are with young children, who can easily drop or step on them.
