Story
Parker is being adopted!Age: 9 years oldWeight: 4.56kg / 10.1lbA little bit about Parker:- Unknown history with children; all interactions should be carefully supervised by an adult- Unknown history with cats and other small animals; all introductions should be done slowly over a period of time- Unknown history with other dogs; potential for another dog in home pending successful introductionMeet Parker, a 9-year-old Maltese mix with a big heart and a soft, scruffy coat. This sweet little guy arrived at the shelter through no fault of his own and is ready to find a forever home where he can live his best life. Parker is carrying a few extra pounds and will need a gradual weight loss plan guided by a vet to help him feel his best. Like many small dogs, he has luxating patellas—kneecaps that sometimes slip out of place. Right now, they’re not causing him any issues, but managing his weight is important to prevent future discomfort. Despite everything he’s been through, Parker is gentle, resilient, and full of love to give. If you`re looking for a loyal companion and are ready to support him on his journey to better health, Parker could be the perfect pup for you.

Hi there! I'm Hanyang 🐾 And I’m so excited to meet you! I’m a small pup with a big heart—and one very special feature that makes me stand out: my adorable underbite! It gives me a one-of-a-kind charm that people say makes me extra cute (I won’t argue with that 💁‍♀️). I love being close to people. One of my favorite places in the whole world is on a warm lap—yours, hopefully! I'm not shy at all, and I’ll shower you with love even if we just met. I’m full of sweet little quirks and affectionate energy that’ll brighten your days. I’m an active, happy girl who enjoys running around and playing. I get along great with people and dogs alike—I'm easygoing and gentle, and I know how to keep things peaceful and friendly. I eat well, I’m healthy, and I have lovely manners when it comes to walks and grooming. I'm also really good at learning! I go potty both outside and on pee pads indoors, and I’m getting better at using the pads every day. I loooove toys—tug-of-war and fetch are some of my favorite games! But above all, I love being near my humans, feeling safe and connected. I’m looking for a forever family who will love me for who I am and share lots of cozy, happy moments together. If you choose me, I promise to fill your life with joy, love, and a whole lot of tail wags. Let’s make each day warmer, brighter, and more special—together 💖 With love and puppy kisses, Hanyang

Story
ALL ABOUT ME  Name: Arong Around 3 yrs old Gender: Female Spayed/Neutered: To be examined and scheduled Breed: Maltese poodle mix Colour: White Weight: 4kg / 9lbs   MY RESCUE STORY Hi, I’m Arong — a lucky pup who was rescued just in time from a city pound before facing euthanasia. My past was tough. I was abandoned in a bag, left behind like I didn’t matter. When I was found, I had painful skin infections, and my nails were so long it seemed like I had never been walked or cared for. Despite it all, I’ve held onto my sweet spirit. Funny enough, if I see a bag now, I still like to hop into it.   MY HEALTH - Fully vaccinated (5-round series complete) - In good health, with no known medical issues   MY PERSONALITY I may be a little shy at first, but don’t let that fool you — I warm up quickly with a gentle approach and a little patience. Offer me a treat, and I’ll happily take it from your hand, slowly letting my guard down as I begin to trust you. Before long, I’ll be leaning in for pets and enjoying your company like we’ve been friends forever. I have a soft, affectionate nature and a calm energy that makes me easy to be around. Once I feel safe, I’ll show you my sweet, loyal side — the one that’s just waiting for a place (and a person) to call home.   MY SOCIAL SKILLS - With People:  Offer me a treat, and I’ll become your friend in no time! You can easily pick me up — I may be a little shy at first, but I form bonds quickly with kind-hearted people. Once I feel that gentle connection, I’ll stick by your side and share all my sweet sides with you.   - With Dogs: I enjoy meeting new dog friends and will greet them politely, but I’m generally a bit indifferent and tend to keep to myself.   - With Cats:  I haven’t had the chance to meet any cats yet, but I’m friendly by nature and believe I could learn to welcome them into my family — especially with slow, gentle introductions and plenty of patience.   ENERGY AND ACTIVITIES I enjoy exploring outside, soaking up all the sights and scents, but I also appreciate relaxing quietly when I’m back home. I like having a good mix of adventure and calm in my day.   TRAINING & HABITS I walk well in quiet, calm areas, but cars can startle me a bit. With gentle guidance and patience, I’m learning to build confidence for walks in busier, noisier places. I don’t guard my food from people, but I can be a little protective around other dogs during mealtime and may growl to keep my space. Sometimes, I’ll give an attention bark to let you know I’m here. I’m comfortable resting quietly in my kennel and am both indoor and outdoor potty trained.   MY IDEAL HOME I’m looking for a patient, loving family who can help guide and let me become my best self. I’ll thrive in a home with: - A family who can provide me with a calm, structured, and safe environment. - A family who understands that I can be protective of my food around other dogs, and is willing to use positive reinforcement to gently guide me toward feeling more relaxed and patient during mealtimes. - A family who likes to do outdoors activities and spend time together.   SPECIAL NOTES When I was rescued, I was in a really rough place — malnourished and struggling with skin infections. Despite everything, I’ve always loved people and soaking up attention. Because of my past neglect, I’m a bit obsessed with food and feel safest when I can eat quickly and keep my meals to myself, especially around other dogs. The staff and volunteers think I might have faced hunger more times than I can count, which is why food means so much to me. But beneath it all, I have the sweetest heart, and my adorable, lovable nature will surely melt your heart once you get to know me.   For More YouTube Clips, Click Here! Arong’s Playlist ##2410249##
