Story
Comet is 14 years old and a purebread Maltese. He loves to be around people and is very loyal. He doesn't require much activity due to his old age so he enjoys lounging around the house and enjoying companionship! He does require extra attention with going to the bathroom so he typically wears diapers. Otherwise, taking him out every 2 hrs or so would helps him feel comfortable. Comet would do best in a loving home that can provide him with the attention, care, and companionship he enjoys. Please apply if he seems like a good fit for your home!

Story
Billy Butcher checks all the boxes, and we really don't understand why he still hasn't been adopted.   Small breed - he likely won't be bigger than ~15 pounds full grown Puppy - he's 3 months old, just a baby, and wants to grow up in your home, not foster homes! Nonshedding - perfect those allergies or those who'd rather make trips to the groomers instead of spending a zillion hours vaccuuming fur Great basics: He sleeps in his crate overnight without accidents and is making good progress on potty training Good with dogs, cats, and kids with a proper and patient introduction His personality? Cuddly, playful, silly, and kiss-forward! He'd be a great pup for a first-time dog owner who's done their homework, and would be a great addition to a household with pets, or for a household who's looking to have just a single pet. You really can't go wrong with his fluff, antics, and bright-eyed personality that's ready to meet the world. If you're ready to give Billy Butcher the forever home he deserves, apply today! All dogs/puppies will be spayed/neutered unless spay/neuter contract is signed with additional deposit.

Story
Some dogs are simply born to be loved, and sweet little Lady is one of them. This darling 6- year-old, 14-pound sweetheart is officially a CACC pup and is ready to leave her difficult past behind for the happy future she deserves. After a few bumps in the road, Lady is looking for one thing and that is a family to call her very own. True to her name, Lady is a gentle, affectionate little girl who wins hearts wherever she goes. She loves everyone she meets, enjoys the company of other dogs, and has a calm, easygoing nature that makes her a wonderful companion. Whether you';re a single person looking for a loyal best friend, a couple wanting a furry sidekick, or a family with room in your hearts, Lady would fit right in. This lovely little girl will need a family willing to keep up with her grooming, but in return you'll have a devoted companion who asks for very little, just love, kindness, and a cozy place to call home. If you've been waiting for a sweet, gentle soul to complete your family, Lady may be the one you've been searching for. She can't wait to meet you!

NAME: MALBU GENDER: MALE BREED: MALTESE COLOR: WHITE AGE: 3 YEARS OLD WEIGHT: 12lbs SPAY OR NEUTER: Yes MICROCHIP: Yes If you would like to give MALBU by a forever home, please go to www.adoptadoggie.org to fill out an online application. Please email your home photos to contact@adoptadoggie.org Malbu is a playful and happy boy. He loves everyone he meets and does well with other dogs. Malbu has a rough start in life. However, it doesn’t stop him from loving and trusting humans. He is doing well in his foster home and ready for a forever home. Malbu started some leash training and is learning at a good pace. He is crate-trained and doing well on his house training. Malbu loves his trips to the doggie park and enjoys his daily walks. Malbu is a loving boy and will be a good family dog. Malbu’s Rescue Story Malbu was caught by a volunteer of a TNR (Trap / Neuter / Return) rescue group. TNR rescue groups specialize in getting stray animals spayed and neutered and the animals are returned to their original location to live as homeless dogs and cats. TNR programs help with the overpopulation of unwanted animals. The volunteer caring for him loves him and didn’t want to see him back on the streets. The volunteer reached out to an experienced international rescue organization to save him and some other puppies that are still too young to be released back to the streets. The founder of the rescue organization has over 160 dogs waiting for homes. She really does not have space for another dog. However, she could not bear to see them suffering on the streets. She agreed to take them home and give them a chance in life. Malbu along with his 40 other buddies were all rescued and live together waiting for their own forever homes. Malbu had a thorough medical checkup. He had been neutered, vaccinated, microchip, and passed negative on his blood tests. Please give Malbu a loving home where he will never be left behind again.

Story
Maltese Mix Age: Senior Female, Spayed 15 lbs Adoption Fee: Donation (includes spay/neuter, microchip, vaccinations) Kylie (a.k.a. Bitsy) was brought to the San Jose Shelter as a stray and in pretty poor condition. She was underweight, no use of her her back legs, missing fur, urine burns from incontinence. In spite of it all, she had a wonderful disposition. The shelter contacted us to pull her. She uses a cart and wears diapers for her incontinence. Here is what her current foster mom has to say about her: Bitsy (Kylie) is a loving, bossy, and lively dog. She loves going for walks or sniffing around the park. Bitsy will ask you to play by grabbing her stuffy and bringing it to you. She also enjoys enrichment activities like puzzles and snoops. She has gotten along with having a second foster dog in the house as well as strangers. She is a polite greeter on walks. Bitsy needs her bladder expressed 3-4 times a day. She sits perfectly still as you do so. At home Bitsy navigates the house just fine. She will try to rush out the door to go with you on errands and does happy hops when you come home. For more information about Kylie, you can email us at: nobodysperfektdogs@gmail.com
