Story
Trixie is a teeny weeny maltese mix who will stick to you like velcro. She loves treats and follows her momma around to learn what dogs do. She follows her mom outside to go potty and loves playtime. But, as soon as you pick her up she just melts into you for a nice snuggle. She knows her name and will respond when called. She is super smart just like her momma. She is currently in fostercare and has many doggy brothers and sisters. She is curious about the other dogs and will sometimes follow them around too. So, she is likely to be fine with other pets in the house. She is a puppy so will still need training to continue going potty outside on a schedule.   ##2673251##

Story
Josa is a fun loving super smart Maltese mix. She loves to get attention and wants to be where you are. She listens very well and comes when she is called. She is potty trained as long as she has a regular schedule. She is under 10lbs so is very easy to manage on a leash. She likes to romp and play and would likely do well with other pets in the house. She is currently in a foster home with other dogs. She can jump. Her foster mom has pack n plays for some of the dogs and Josa can jump into them. She is only 2 years old so she is energetic and will need a household who has time to give her playtime and snuggles.  ##2673249##
