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.

Story
Attention! RIGBY Here! PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE BIO BEFORE INQUIRING ABOUT MY ADOPTION PLEASE :) I am a very cute, little, Maltese/Chihuahua (Malchi) boy, I was born February 7, 2019. I am timid but sweet once I get to know you, I am very shy. I live with other dogs at the rescue, so I am ok with dogs, again it takes me some time to trust. I have been with rescue a long time because I suffer from some type of doggie vertigo and get car sick really easy, I always have since I was a puppy, so its hard for most families who enjoy taking their pup traveling. Its better now than it was when I was little but I still am nervous in the car. I need a loving patient family to open their hearts and home to allow me time to get to know you... Could that be you?? I was rescued from Lancaster, our humans didn't want us babies and gave us away and kept my Mama (Chihuahua) and Daddy (Maltese). I had siblings but they gave them away to other people instead of the rescue... Here is some information on my Mix Breed https://dogappy.com/information-about-maltese-chihuahua-mix-malchi Yours with a happy tailwag! Rigby

Story
Prince is a great dog and he is a dog anyone could love. He is house trained and will let you know when he needs to go to the bathroom. He is calm and quiet and will cuddle with you if you want him to do so. He is 7 years old, and was purchased by a breeder in North Carolina. I have had him since he was 7 months old. He is better off with someone who has a fairly flexible schedule and can be around for him, or others in the home who can care for him during the day. He may be comfortable using a doggie door, but will need to be introduced to it. He enjoys playing but is very content with lounging around the house. Though he can be a bit shy at first, he warms up very quickly and melts in your arms in seconds. He is weighs about 5lbs and he is neutered. All of his teeth are gone. I had them removed in December because they were bad. He's a much happier dog!
