Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Happy Cuddle-bug! Meet Ricky Ricky is a 5-year-old, 8-pound Maltese with a big heart packed into a tiny body! This sweet little guy loves his people and is happiest when he can be close to his human. If you’re looking for a loyal little companion who wants to be by your side, Ricky may be your perfect match. Ricky is an affectionate, lovable boy who is a pleasure to care for. Like many small dogs, he can get a little excited at times, but he is easy to calm down and responds well to gentle reassurance. He is also learning how to stay calm and comfortable around other dogs and will benefit from continued patience and positive guidance as he builds confidence. Ricky can occasionally be a little protective of his things, so his adopter should be mindful of his tendency to resource guard and continue working with him using positive, reward-based training. He also has occasional accidents in the house, although he seems to understand that the yard is the place to do his business and is making progress with his house manners. Most of all, Ricky is simply a very sweet, loving little guy who wants what most dogs want: to be loved, cared for, and close to his person. He has so much affection to give and would love to find someone who will appreciate his gentle, endearing personality while helping him continue to learn and grow. If you’re looking for a tiny companion with a huge capacity for love, Ricky would be thrilled to meet you! â¤ï¸ Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 7, 2026, 2:37 pm

Story

She loves to cuddle, attaches to humans easily and follows you or caregiver everywhere. She has separation anxiety and will bark when she knows you are leaving. Even for routine things like going to the garage to switch cars, which is something that happens on a regular basis at the same time. She likes to wear her shoes out of the house and will stop at the door and turn around until all shoes are on before going on her walks.She is very protective and will bark at other dogs when you walk past them. However, we have taken her to doggie daycare, and has been housed around other dogs when we have been away and she did fine. You only have to worry about dogs you are walking past.We haven't seen her around cats but she has met our neighbor's cat and she seems to like it.She has allergies (sneezing, licking etc) The vet gave her a shot and that helped. He said she may need a shot per year.She likes soft food but has a sensitive stomach so please be gentle when switching food.

Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Murphy was my mother-in-law's dog. He was a rescue dog that she acquired almost 12 years ago. We are uncertain how old he was at the time she adopted him, but we believe he was under 3 years old. My mother-in-law is bedridden on hospice and we had to remove him from her home because he was guarding her and biting caregivers. He has been living at our home for the last six months and we have two dogs that he does not get along with. We can no longer keep him in our home and are looking for someone to take him in immediately. He needs a home with no other dogs or children. Murphy would do best with a single person or couple who lives a quiet life that has room for lots of love and attention for him. Murphy is quirky and would be happy to find a home where he can cuddle up and live out the rest of his life.

Ozzy

Maltese Terrier (Unknown Type, Small)

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Ozzy is an 8-month-old Maltese Terrier mix who came from a neighboring family. I took him in to provide a safe and loving environment while finding him the right permanent home. He is playful, affectionate, curious, energetic, and loves being around people. Ozzy is potty trained to go outside, neutered, and attends PetSmart Doggy Day Camp, where he does well around other dogs. He is still very much a puppy and is in his chewing stage—he loves chew toys and can tear his toys up, so he needs supervision and redirection. He can also get excited and bark at dogs or cats while on walks. I’m looking for a loving, responsible home that will give him exercise, attention, structure, continued training, and plenty of patience as he grows.

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Looks like: Maltese Male, 11 years old (estimated), 8 pounds Jason is a gentle soul who needs a little extra time and a whole lot of understanding to feel safe in the world. He's a timid boy who is still learning to trust, and he'll need a patient person who is happy to let him move at his own pace. Jason isn't ready to hit the walking trails just yet, and he may never be the adventurous, leash-walking type. But with time, kindness, and a little encouragement, he may surprise us! For now, his happy place is somewhere safe and cozy, with the freedom to take each new step when he's ready. One of the best things about Jason is how wonderful he is with other dogs! In fact, having a confident canine companion (or even a whole pack!) in his next home is a must for this boy. He takes comfort in his fellow pups and can learn so much by watching them navigate the world. He also does well with kitties, making him a lovely candidate for a home with feline friends, too. Jason is looking for someone who understands that progress doesn't always happen overnight. He may need extra time to settle in and build trust, but for the right person, helping him discover that the world can be a safe and happy place will be a very special journey. Jason joined Peace of Mind Dog Rescue from Hitchcock Road Animal Services, where his senior status made him a good fit for our program.
