Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Luigi is an adorable little jumping bean that came to us after being found as a stray in the city of Cleveland. No one came looking for him, which is bewildering as he's just the best little guy! Lu is a happy, happy, happy puppy, who absolutely lives life in the fast lane! He loves to play, does the cutest little tippy taps when he's excited, is the world's most dramatic chewer, thinks toys are the greatest thing ever, and when he's all tuckered out, he fully powers down and wants to snuggle in close for naps. He adores all humans and animals, and is ready and willing to go on any and all adventures with you! Hiking? Yes. Car rides? Absolutely. Home Depot trips? Grab your keys! Swimming? Ok, maybe not that one, but everything else is a GO for Lu! Not much at all phases him, and he moves through life with a joyful, bubbly confidence that's hard not to fall for! Luigi is approx 4 months old, and is current on his puppy vaccine series, is dewormed, microchipped, neutered, and on monthly flea/tick/heartworm prevention. He's currently 8.5 lbs, is waaaaayyy smaller than he looks in pics, and we think he'll stay around or under 20 lbs when fully grown. He crates well, knows sit, is food motivated as heck, is great for baths, and walks nicely on leash. He's still working on house training, but he's just a baby, so his new family will need to be prepared to continue working on that. We did DNA test Luigi, and his results were quite surprising! We've attached a photo of his results for you to enjoy! His adoption fee is $450.  Please click here to submit an adoption application.

Coco loves her walks and will even tell her foster mom when it’s walk time! This little Chihuahua mix is happy to nap on the couch or go for a long walk - as long as she’s with her person. She does well with her foster cat siblings. She is good with respectful older kids but hasn’t been tested around toddlers. We are working on potty training and she is almost there! She loves going for a ride in the car! Fill out an application at www.maggiesmissionrescue.org

Story
Meet Bootsie: The 9-Year-Old Diva Who’s Done Tolerating Nonsense Listen up, dog lovers — Bootsie has arrived, and she’s not here to play games (unless it involves treats). This 9-year-old queen weighs in at a mighty under-20 pounds, which is impressive considering the sheer size of her personality. She’s house trained, leash-ready, and will absolutely love you unconditionally — as long as you follow her very reasonable list of rules. Her Rules: Rule #1: Do NOT pick her up. She is not a purse dog. She is a dignified woman. Rule #2: Hands off the back and sides. She didn’t say you could touch there. Rule #3: Bring snacks. Always bring snacks. She is highly food motivated and will respect you more for it. Bootsie does have a small lump on her shoulder, but don’t worry — the vet confirmed it’s benign. It’s basically her villain origin story scar, and it only makes her cooler. She gets along great with other dogs, as long as they mind their business. Confrontational dogs? Hard pass. She needs an adult-only home with a fenced yard — because children are chaotic and Bootsie deserves peace. In return for your patience and respect, Bootsie will reward you with fierce loyalty, couch cuddles on her terms, and the honor of being chosen by a dog who has standards. Apply at www.rescue330.org — if you think you’re worthy. Bootsie's adoption fee is $150. ##2679528##

Story
FOSTER-TO-ADOPT NEEDED Meet Hannibal! Hannibal’s story starts the way too many do… tied to a tree and left behind. Now he’s here with us, trying to figure out what comes next. Let’s be honest — Hannibal is not your typical “easy” dog. And that’s exactly why he needs the right person. Hannibal is a chihuahua mix who struggles in a crate. The kennel environment is hard on him, and he lets us know it. But once he’s out? He settles, does his own thing, and is much more manageable. He is: - Potty trained - Independent - Not overly needy or clingy He is NOT: - A dress-up dog - A dog for small kids - A dog for a first-time owner Hannibal isn’t going to be the dog that instantly melts into your arms. He’s the kind of dog who needs patience, space, and someone who understands that trust takes time. He’s not a bad dog — he just hasn’t had a fair shot yet. He’s shown positive interest in other dogs, but we also think he may do best as an only pet where he can decompress and settle in at his own pace. We are unsure how he is with cats. What Hannibal needs right now is a foster-to-adopt home so we can truly see who he is outside of the shelter environment. Experienced homes only. Serious inquiries only. This is not a “jump in and figure it out” dog — he needs someone who understands dogs that require patience and structure.

Story
Sadie is about 13 years old. I believe she is a chihuahua-pug mix, perhaps also with some beagle & other breeds. Sadie loves people and is happy to meet new human friends, but she does not like young children so needs to be in a home with pre-teens, teenagers, or no children. She also does not like anyone invading her personal space around her face. Sadie enjoys walks, car rides, and adventures; she is starting to slow down on walks though. She has seen a vet annually to maintain her vaccinations and health checkups. She does have occasional anal gland issues; I give her Vetnique Glandex Anal Gland Soft Chew Treats (cut up & mixed in her kibble). She also gets itchy; I give her Native Pet Dog Allergy Chews.Sadie is reactive towards other dogs. She lives with cats but does not like them getting close to her.
