Story
Bilbo is a 5-year-old Maltese and Poodle mix who came to YAPS after being found wandering the streets. He was withdrawn, very frightened, and would not interact with staff. However, after many weeks, he began to slowly trust again and rebuild his confidence, thanks to the kindness and patience of the staff and volunteers.  Bilbo showed signs of improvement, but never so much as when a young, friendly, playful dog was placed in his kennel. Bilbo was relaxed, happy, and wagging his tail. His rehabilitation continued when placed with a foster family who provided the care and attention he deserved. Bilbo has been through a lot and would now love to find his very own stable, loving, forever home he so deserves.

Story
Meet Bilibo (aka Bill): The Spicy Snack-Loving Icon You Never Knew You Needed 🐾 Listen… Bill isn’t for everyone. He’s a little “partially house-trained, slightly judgy, and gives out his love like it’s an exclusive VIP membership”. But for the right person? He’s your ride-or-die. 💥 Pros: ✔️ Will hear you open the fridge from 3 zip codes away. ✔️ Loves “kisses, kisses” if you’re on his approved list. ✔️ Gets along great with other dogs. ✔️ Looks like a scruffy little rockstar who doesn’t care about your HOA rules. ⚡️ Cons (but like… funny ones): ✖️ He’s choosy with humans. (Don’t take it personally, Karen.) ✖️ “Partially” house-trained. (Let’s call it rustic charm.) ✖️ Will probably sass you if dinner’s late. 🎯 Bill needs a human who: ✔️ Gets his sense of humor ✔️ Knows the fridge is now a shared resource ✔️ Understands true love is earned, not given away free 🚨 I’ve fostered this guy WAY too long. He’s ready for his forever home where he can live his main character energy. 📦 Adoption includes: 1 Spicy Dog Lifetime supply of personality A heart that will melt (eventually)

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Otto - The Tiny Tornado of Charm & Sass Otto isn't just any Maltese mix - he's a one-of-a-kind spark plug wrapped in fluff with a heart as big as his personality. At around 9 months old and weighing in at a sprightly 11-12 pounds, Otto is still figuring out this whole "growing up" thing - but he's doing it in style. Otto came to us after finding it tough to share space with a toddler. Honestly, we get it - being a toddler himself, Otto just wasn't ready for the grabby hands and constant attention. He's a sensitive soul with a strong sense of self. Sometimes he's the life of the party, and other times he's off with his doggie crew doing important dog things (read: zoomies, stick inspection, tail-chasing strategy meetings). Playtime? Count him in. Other dog? Love them. Small children? Not his vibe. Because of his past, Otto's ideal home is one without kids under 10. He's looking for a family that gets his balance of cuddle time and "me time." He has some puppy manners to polish up, but he makes up for it with buckets of love and a truly special personality. Otto's not just looking for a home - he's looking for a teammate, a playmate, a soft place to land when the world gets a little too loud. If you've got the patience to let him grow, and the heart to love him just as he is, Otto might just be your forever sidekick. Currently accepting applications here for Best Friend positions - must love dogs and tolerate a little sass!Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.August 17, 2025, 8:01 pm
