7. Kennedy

Adult · Male · Chihuahua / Terrier / Mixed · 7 mi from Lake Butler

Kennedy is a unique and resilient pup who’s still figuring out how to trust. He’s had a rough start, but underneath his uncertainty is a dog who truly wants love—he just needs patience and the right approach. This guy is house-trained (no accidents here!) and crate-trained, settling in without complaint at night. He also does well in a playpen when left alone for short periods. He loves his toys, especially Nylabones and balls, but can be a little possessive with them. Kennedy enjoys being near his people - he follows them from room to room, wags his tail to show his feelings, and even gives kisses.

Read more about Kennedy

He may ask for affection by bumping against you or jumping in your lap but then growl or nip when actually petted. Kennedy knows "come" and "sit", but treats (especially chicken!) help him stay engaged. He’s leash-reactive when it comes to putting it on or taking it off, especially around his neck, but once he’s walking, he does well - though 15 minutes is his max before he’s exhausted. He clearly has a history of being fed from the table and will wait at mealtime for a better offer- but don’t fall for it! Kennedy needs an experienced, patient adopter who understands that trust takes time. His ideal home is one where: He can continue learning boundaries in a structured environment, touch and handling are approached with patience and care, he has a predictable routine and a safe space to retreat when needed, and he’s allowed to bond at his own pace - on his termsPLEASE NOTE: All your current pets must be spayed/neutered, vaccinated and on heartworm prevention to adopt from Polka Dogz.

Bed-sharing enthusiasts, this sweet senior girl was made for you.

Name:
Dolly

Breed:
Rat Terrier Mix

Age:
13 years young

Gender:
Female

Dolly proves that age is just a number! She is a gentle, affectionate older gal who is looking for a comfy home to spend her golden years. Her absolute favorite activity in the world? Curling up as close as humanly possible to you overnight in a big, cozy king-size bed. If you love warm nighttime snuggles, Dolly is your girl!

Her Personality & Highlights:

Affectionate Companion:
She loves cuddles, affection, and being near her favorite humans.

Read more about Dolly

Toy & Treat Friendly:
She does great sharing toys and treats with both humans and other dog friends.

Low-Key & Loving:
At 13, she’s past the chaotic puppy phase and ready to settle into a cozy, quiet routine.

Ideal Home & Management:
Dolly does have resource-guarding tendencies around her main bowl of food when other dogs are nearby. Because of her possessive food traits with her meal bowl, she simply needs to be fed separately in her own quiet space away from other pets during mealtime. Once dinner is done, she is right back to being her sweet, sharing self!

Dolly is ready to bring so much warmth, loyalty, and nighttime cuddles to her forever family.

Ready to make your bed a little cozier?

Meet Waylon!

At 4 years old and just 11 pounds, Waylon is a little guy with a BIG love for his people! This sweet boy is a certified cuddle bug who would happily spend his days snuggled up next to his favorite humans. Personal space? He's not really familiar with that concept!

Waylon can be a bit anxious and the big outside world can feel pretty scary to him. He's much more comfortable when he's close to his people, where he feels safe and secure. He'll need a patient, understanding family who can help him build confidence at his own pace and show him that the world isn't such a scary place after all.

Read more about Waylon

What Waylon lacks in confidence, he makes up for in affection. He loves being around humans and would thrive with someone who has plenty of love, patience, and cuddles to share.

Waylon is one of 14 terrier mixes Hunter's Village Rescue welcomed from a heartbreaking hoarding case involving 85 dogs in Lake County. While we don't know everything about his past, we do know that this sweet little Rat Terrier is learning what it means to feel safe, loved, and cherished.

If you're looking for a tiny shadow, a professional snuggle buddy, and a loyal little companion, Waylon could be your perfect match!

❤️

Waylon doesn't need a big world. He just needs a person who makes his world feel safe.

His adoption donation is $250 and includes vaccines, microchip and neuter.

Adopting a dog in Lake Butler

Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the dog, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your dog in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.

Senior dogs are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate dog, ask the rescues about their older residents.

Puppies go quickly, so if you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon. Ask how big they're expected to grow, and plan for plenty of house-training and training in the first few months.
