Story
If you are looking for a small best friend to be by your side, Danga is your guy. This male maltipoo is a cuddle bug who loves to be held, and would be great in a less active home where he can hang out with his hooman. Danga is a senior, but has enough vim and vigor to go on daily walks and check pee mail. If interested in meeting Danga, please complete an application at jellysplace.org. Danga is subject to our reduced adoption 'senior dog' fee.June 5, 2023, 5:31 am

Take home will be the same day Story: Cinderella and her siblings were rescued from San Bernardino, CA. Our volunteer used to have a high school friend. Her mother has multiple dogs in her backyard. One of her dogs gave birth to a litter of puppies. The family was planning to go on vacation and they asked the rescue to help them take some of the dogs. The rescue took multiple dogs from the property and their journey started. All the dogs stayed until they received 2 rounds of shots for the Parvo, distemper, adenovirus I, adenovirus ii, Parainfluenza. And 1 round of Bordetella. They were dewormed and received flea and tick prevention medication. The puppies are still not of age to be spayed/neutered yet. The adopter must sign a spay/neuter agreement with the rescue at the time of the adoption. The puppies received nutrition with multivitamins. They are now healthy and ready for their forever home. If you think that any of the puppies matches your criteria in a dog, please consider giving them a home.

Story
We will be accepting applications for this little bean. Luna is Mostly all black with white paws and chest. Her hair is like silk. Luna is very special and will require a special adopter as she has one eye that was damaged at birth and has no sight. The other eye is fine. The damaged eye will most likely need to be removed when she is spayed per Ophthalmologist. Momma is 13 pounds and dad is 18 pounds they are Maltipoos so puppies will be about the same size when fully grown. We are looking for adopters to pre qualify. If you are interested please fill out an adoption application at Malteserescuecalifornia.org!
