Story
NAME:PatsySTATS:Female, Maltese mix, 1 year, 8 lbs.TEMPERAMENT:Shy at first and warms up.Needs seasoned owner to work with issues (see below).Food guarding issues?Would ideally be the ONLY as she can be a bit sassy and prefers to be the only dog in the home but can play with other dogs Will chase catsSKILLSDoing great with potty training.Crate trained.Leash trained.Likes walks, but not great for hiking.Has not been exposed to children.MORE ABOUT ME:Likes walks.Needs patient owner willing to work on fearful behavior (see details below).Suggest training (basic manners).ONE LAST THING:Patsy is a very sweet dog when she chooses to be but is slow to trust and handle long invasive pets quite yet. A little background on our Patsy. She's about a year old and was found as a stray so chances are someone gave up on her. Patsy is rather independent; she's not a huge cuddler, but will follow you around and lay by your feet while watching TV or in the office working. She is going to be a bit of a project when it comes to learning to trust and maybe with time and at her own pace she will surprise you. Patsy LOVES her walks so at least 2 a day. She plays by herself with toys and is vocal when playing. She does like pets but can sometimes be cranky when you pet certain areas. Patsy has some challenges to work on and needs a patient and loving home. She likes being in her crate as a 'safe place', but doesn't like the door closed. She needs to be the only animal because she'll go after other dogs or cats (protecting her person or food guarding). She needs to be picked up a certain way or can nip&#194&#151so no children living in the house. Children can visit, but you might want to keep Patsy separated until she feels more comfortable. She hates the brush or comb and she does get little mats so adopter needs to know how to handle that. She is currently on melatonin and it has helped.Obviously, Patsy isn't for everyone. But if you're the type who is patient and loving and is willing to work with a dog that hasn't had the best start in life, you may be a good fit. A good headline for Patsy might be, 'Grumpy Pup Seeks Someone to Love.' And honestly, Patsy isn't right for everyone, but if you are single or a couple who has time to let Patsy settle in and become her best self, she may just surprise you. We just think this girl is going to take a lot longer to decompress and come out of her shell so she really needs a kind and patient home.September 14, 2024, 7:45 pm

Story
Dominic is the sweetest little guy you will ever meet. He's 8 lbs of pure love. After being found as a stray and being shaved, neutered, lots of teeth removed, top of head stitched up and lots of eye drops (forever), he still loves to go for walks, get hugged and kissed, hang out with his fosters other dogs, sit on your lap (all the time). He is super easy to bathe, quiet, uses the dog door 99% of the time, and sleeps through the night on top of the bed. 13-year-old Dominic has some hearing loss and will grab at food in your hand but doesn't bite. He likes tomatoes and cucumbers from the garden and shares his food with the other dogs. He will need eye medicine for tear production the rest of his life and is a good boy when putting the drops in. Dominic is good with other dogs and is an easygoing boy. His favorite forever home will be where he has a lap to sit on and someone home with him for much of the day.

Story
Momo is a very cute, elderly Maltese-Pomeranian in need of new housing! She is an indoor dog who is nearly 15 years old. She is potty trained and was socialized but in her old age she can be asocial with other animals. Her last owner struggled with mental health and after moving from her last home she entrusted Momo’s relocation to me. At her core she is a sweet puppy who seeks nothing more than a soft place to rest and physical affection.
