Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Galaxy (aka phoebe) a 6 year old Maltese. She is sporting her new summer hairdo along with her pretty pink onesie. Phoebe is a retired puppy mill breeder and is learning how to trust humans. She is doing great at housebreaking but will need patients and understanding. She prefers to lay in her open crate in a play yard but will come out and greet you. She’s a sweet little dog that will need somebody with patience and lots of love. She gets along well with dogs but prefers the calmer smaller dogs. Big excited dogs scare her a little bit. Running outside and laying in the sun is her favorite acivity. She would do better in a more quiet home with older children since she is tiny (only 8 lbs). We have introduced her to a harness and leash but she will need time and patients. She really does well following you outside in a fenced in yard.
Galaxy will come with a certificate of health, UTD on vaccines and spayed. Colleen Dilone colleen.dilone3904@gmail.com is fostering her in McHenry if you would like to fill out an application go to

Her adoption fee is $450.

More about this rescue
Tiny Paws Small Dog Rescue was born out of my love for small dogs and desire to help those in need, and in memory of the loss of a dear family member. Dealing frequently with small breed puppies and retired breeder moms, we strive to find homes that are aware of the commitment to raising a small breed dog and to the patience needed in socializing and housebreaking a retired breeder mom who has no idea what life in a home is all about. We are foster home based and are always looking for new foster homes to help us continue our love of rescuing dogs in need. We are happy to assist in owner surrender placements, especially those in need of surrendering their small dogs due to financial hardships, loss of a loved one, or dog owner entering assisted living facilities or nursing homes. We pride ourselves with a thorough search for that perfect home for a dog in need and follow up with phone calls to ensure things are going well. Tiny Paws will take back an adopted dog should the need arise within a reasonable notice and an available foster home has an open spot. Our goal is to someday own a building to house even more canine companions in need. We look forward to helping you find your family pet.
