Story
Sue is a purebred Maltese with a heart full of love and a gentle soul. Born on January 18, 2017, and has been a cherished member of our family after we brought her home from a reputable breeder in Northwest Arkansas. At 8.5 years old, Sue is fully house trained, calm, and enjoys the simple pleasures like curling up in your lap for a cuddle or burrowing into a cozy blanket (her favorite thing to chew and lick, rather than furniture!). She has a very loving temperament and thrives on affection and companionship. Due to our increasingly busy lifestyle, we've made the difficult decision to find Sue a new home where she can receive the attention and care she deserves. We're looking for a kind, responsible adopter who truly loves dogs and will make Sue part of their family. If you're looking for a loyal, low-maintenance, and affectionate companion, Sue could be the perfect match for you. She'll bring warmth and love to any home lucky enough to have her.

Story
Popcorn is about 18 lbs., 15 years old and according to Google lens, a West highland terrier. Animal Care Services thought he was a Maltese mix and foster mom thinks he could be a Schnauzer/Maltese mix but knows for sure that he is the cutest scruffy EVER! His journey hasn't been all snuggles and treats as he lived on someone's apartment patio for years, lying in poop, grass and other debris until Animal Care Services came for him and God's Dogs Rescue was able to save the little scamp. While he still loves his humans, other gentle pups his size (cats unknown) and his squishy toys and chewy, understandably he has a few emotional scars especially regarding vet visits and grooming. Slow, patient progress in these areas has helped him be more confident, but will need a patient adopter to help him adapt. Things that make Popcorn super happy are spending time with his humans after he gets to know them, car rides and walks in the park. He loves, loves his squishy toys and generally carries one around with him. His most favorite game is for his person to chase him and pretend to take his squishy away. He also like to run zooms and if there isn't a person to play with he will often throw his toys for himself. Doesn't that just make you want to throw his stuffies so he can play?? He's a healthy guy for his age with just a few old man issues (beginnings of cataracts) that he takes supplements for and should continue taking. His liver enzymes were high when tested but he is on a med to help them normalize. Can you give this boy the right lap to live in?? He needs very patient/knowledgeable adopters, no children- adult only because he will bite if afraid... It is a work in progress but he is becoming the goofy boy he was meant to be while living on the nasty hot and freezing porch for most of his 14 yrs :( GIVE HIM A CHANCE!!! Local adoption only $200 (in TX)
