Breed: Maltese X DOB: 4/2022 Gender: female Altered: yes Coat: medium Size: small Color(s): white Description: Hi, I'm Iris, a sweet Maltese X who's seen some things, but don't worry, I'm not letting that get me down. I'm an active gal who's always up for a good time, and I'm what you might call a 'professional escapist', but I promise it's only because I want to be by your side, giving and receiving all the love in the world. I've had quite the life, let me tell you. Rescued from some not-so-great living conditions, I'm ready to leave that all behind and find my forever family. Now, I may be a bit of an older gal, but that doesn't mean I don't have a lot of love to give. In fact, I've got enough love to share with all the humans and doggo friends I meet. If you're looking for a loyal companion who's full of life and ready to leave the past behind, I'm your girl. I'll keep you on your toes, but more importantly, I'll show you what it means to be loved. Come on, let's go on an adventure together! Please fill out an online application to come and meet me! *Thank you to The Little Dog Team for sponsoring this wonderful dog and giving her the chance for a better life.July 18, 2026, 11:15 pm

Story
Available to foster or adopt!Breed: Maltese / Poodle X DOB: 8/2020 Gender: male Altered: yes Coat: medium Size: medium Color(s): white Description: ***Needs a Foster Home*** This dog is in need of a foster home as well as a permanent home. If you are interested in fostering please fill out an online foster application. Hi, I'm Duffy, a Maltese / Poodle X with a heart of gold and a friendly, protective nature. I'm a sweet boy who had the rug pulled out from under him when I lost my previous home, but I'm hopeful that my next chapter will be even better. I'm house-trained and will happily do my business outside or on pee pads—whatever you prefer! I love going for walks and runs and is always up for an adventure, but I draw the line at anyone touching my butt. I'm an active lap dog who enjoys being close and having a good cuddle. I would do best in a home with older children or adults only, and as the sole apple of your eye, as I need time to warm up to other dogs, but with patience and kindness, I could learn to make new friends or be a great solo dog. I am a smart boy who knows my name and comes when called. I'm eager to please and walk nicely on a leash, though I may pull just a little out of excitement. I am the perfect companion for anyone looking for a loyal friend to share their adventures. I'm an active boy with a big heart, and I can't wait to find my forever family. Please fill out an online application to meet me.July 18, 2026, 11:15 pm

Story
Meet Teddy Thomas! Teddy Thomas is a 7-year-old, 14 lb sweet boy. He was surrendered to us after his owner was moving and could no longer keep him. Thankfully, we were able to step in and give him a safe place to land. He recently had a dental (with five teeth removed) and is already feeling so much better and ready for a fresh start. Teddy is such a fun, lively little guy. He’s high energy, athletic, and always excited to be part of whatever you’re doing. He loves treats (very food motivated), enjoys his walks, and does well on leash. He’s also great in the car, which makes him an easy little sidekick. He’s incredibly affectionate and loves attention. Teddy is the type to jump up to greet you, soak up all the pets, then curl up for some snuggles after he’s gotten his wiggles out. He’s playful, social, and gets along well with other dogs. He’s still getting the hang of a consistent potty routine and will do best in a home that can continue guiding him with structure and regular potty breaks. Teddy is just a really lovely dog who wants to be close to his people and be part of a home again. If you’re looking for a sweet, energetic, and cuddly companion, Teddy Thomas might be your guy. ---- Looking to Adopt? Submit a Rescue Questionnaire! Please be thorough in your answers.
