Story
Murphy is a 1 year old Maltese with a little bit of mischief tucked beneath that adorable face. He was found abandoned at Bob Murphy School in Rialto, but this tiny guy isn’t letting his rough introduction to the world define him. He has a curious streak, an expressive little face, and the kind of personality that makes you wonder what he’s thinking every time he looks your way. Murphy would be right at home being part of the action—investigating what you’re doing, trotting along beside you, and making himself comfortable wherever the day happens to take you. He’s good with kids and dogs, so he can bring his pint-sized personality into a home with plenty of activity and company. Now Murphy is looking for the part of his story that should have come first: a family who keeps him close, includes him in the everyday stuff, and gives him the security of knowing he isn’t being left behind again. He may be small, but Murphy has plenty of personality to fill a home. We hold an event every weekend at our facility on SATURDAY and SUNDAY 11-5pm and open to the public. It is first come first serve we do not evaluate applications prior to an event. If there are multiple interested parties in the same dog or puppy at the same time we would pick the best out of the 10 applications. Please visit our social media platforms for the specifics for each weekend as it changes from week to week. Please find our application at lovejoyfoundation.org when you come to an event please bring that filled out in hand with you. You can find our application at Lovejoyfoundation.org. Please note a Petfinder and Adoptapet Inquiry is not applying for the dog. You have to come to the event or send an email inquiry to our records email.

Story
What can I say about Riley? Well, he's an awesomely smart, sweet and incredibly energetic and little guy, and would truly be an excellent addition to the right home, one, preferably, where he wouldn't be left home alone all day, because he can experience a bit of separation anxiety if he is away from his "person" for longer than 3 to 4 hours, so someone being home part of the day would be perfect. Riley is currently the only dog in the home, so I'm a bit unsure as to how he would be with another dog. But with that said, I truly think that with his personality and loving nature, once accustomed to his new home, he'll fit right in! I adopted Riley at two months old and just a tiny little thing at two pounds, and he's a very healthy and robust 15 lbs now! He's puppy pad trained, has had all of his shots and is currently on Advantage. He ADORES Peanut butter, Greenies, celery and carrots so getting him to sit, stay, come or "down" with any of those would be an extremely easy feat!

Story
Meet Homil!  - CURRENTLY IN VANCOUVER!!!   Age: 6 years Sex: Neutered male Breed: Maltese Colour: Cream Weight: 6.2 kg Height: 33 cm at the shoulder   Rescue Story Homil was rescued from an animal-hoarding situation where many dogs were living together without adequate care. Now safe and cared for, Homil is ready to find a loving forever family.   With People Homil is a friendly, affectionate boy who enjoys meeting people—even strangers! He approaches them, rubs against them, and happily accepts pets. He is comfortable being picked up and held and may even show his belly to someone he has just met.   With Other Dogs Homil prefers human company to playing with other dogs. He is generally friendly with dogs his size or smaller and is patient even when they pester him.   With Cats His reaction to cats has not yet been observed. A cat test can be arranged.   Energy & Walks Homil has a moderate energy level. He enjoys outdoor activities and settles down quietly afterward. He has plenty of walking experience, follows his person well, and walks without pulling on the leash.   Life at Home • He has not shown food guarding toward people or other dogs. • He may bark when separated from people. His family should be prepared for possible separation anxiety and help him gradually become comfortable spending time alone. • In a kennel, he alternates between being quiet and vocalizing. He will need patience and support rather than an expectation that he is already crate trained. • He currently uses both indoor and outdoor potty areas. His family should expect an adjustment period and possible accidents in a new home.   Homil is looking for a family who will enjoy his affectionate nature and patiently support him as he settles into his new life.

Story
Meet Asher! Asher is a happy, playful Maltese mix looking for his forever home! He was highly neglected and came to matted and in bad shape, but in spite of this he's a friendly and loving boy. He can be a little anxious, but that's to be expected given his difficult past. He would do great in a home with kids, and loves to do excited twirls when it's food time! *This is a courtesy post. If you're interested in adopting Asher, please fill out an adoption application with Big Love Animal Rescue https://bigloveanimalrescue.org/October 31, 2026, 4:06 pm

Story
Meet Byeori A playful little pup learning that the world can be a kind place.   Age: 7 months Sex: Neutered male Breed: Maltese–Shih Tzu mix Colour: Gray and white Weight: 4.4 kg Shoulder height: 32 cm   Rescued from a hoarding home, Byeori is now discovering the joys of friendship, outdoor adventures, and gentle affection.   With people Byeori can be shy at first, but treats help him make friends! He warms up fairly quickly to women and soon allows gentle petting. He is more cautious around men, although he will accept their treats and needs more time before feeling comfortable being touched.   Once he trusts you, he can be picked up with support under his body and may even roll over to show you his belly.   With other dogs Byeori is sociable and likes approaching both familiar and new dogs to say hello and invite them to play. He enjoys friendly dogs whose play style suits him.   He is comfortable with the larger dogs he lives with, but unfamiliar large dogs and very energetic dogs can feel overwhelming.   With cats Byeori has not met cats yet. He tries to chase birds outdoors, so his compatibility with cats is unknown.   Energy and walks Byeori has a moderate energy level and enjoys outdoor activities, followed by quiet rest. Being a puppy, though, he recharges quickly and is soon ready for something fun to do again!   He walks well in quiet areas. When a scent catches his attention, he likes taking his time to investigate and may hesitate briefly before moving on. Busy roads still make him nervous, and he sometimes turns in circles when unsure, but he is gradually improving.   Life at home • He has shown no food guarding toward people or other dogs. • He uses pee pads and also toilets outdoors, although potty breaks during walks are still a work in progress. • He usually uses his pads reliably, with occasional accidents, especially on rugs. Sometimes he gets so busy playing in the yard that he comes back inside and uses a pad! • Car rides can make him tremble at first, but he tends to settle with reassurance or the company of familiar dogs. • He enjoys watching people outside and occasionally barks at them.   Byeori feels comfortable with other dogs and has not shown separation anxiety in his current setting. However, he has never been completely alone, so learning to stay home by himself would be a new experience. If adopted as an only dog, he may need extra support and gradual practice with alone time.   Byeori is looking for a patient family who will let him build trust at his own pace and guide him through puppyhood with gentle, consistent training. A compatible canine friend could help him feel at home. Apply to adopt or foster: https://adoptmekr.org  PLEASE ALSO VISIT OUR FACEBOOK AND INSTAGRAM!
