Story
Hi, I'm Benny! My brother Brody and I found ourselves needing a new start when we were surrendered. Luckily, we were able to stay safe until Desert Paws Sanctuary had space to take us in. I'm a Maltese Terrier mix puppy, which means I have lots of energy, lots of curiosity, and lots of love to give! I spend my days playing, being silly, and making the most of every adventure. Whether I'm chasing a toy, wrestling with my brother, or looking for attention, I'm always ready to have fun. I'm still a puppy, so I'm learning new things every day. I'll need a family that understands puppy life comes with excitement, training, patience, and plenty of laughter. Most of all, I'm looking for a family to call my own. A place where I'll be loved, cherished, and never have to wonder where I belong again. Are you looking for a best friend? Because I sure am. Please visit our website desertpawssanctuary.org to learn more about this amazing pet and to see other available dogs and cats.

Story
Hi, I'm Brody! My brother Benny and I were surrendered when our family could no longer keep us. Thankfully, they cared enough to make sure we stayed safe and waited until Desert Paws Sanctuary had room for us. I'm a young Maltese Terrier mix with all the puppy energy you'd expect! I love to play, explore, chase toys, and find creative ways to entertain myself. My foster family says I have a goofy personality and can always make people smile. Like any puppy, I'm still learning about the world around me. I can be a little mischievous at times, but that's all part of being a growing pup. What I really want is a family that will help guide me, teach me, and love me for the rest of my life. I may have lost my first home, but I'm hoping my forever home is right around the corner. Please visit our website desertpawssanctuary.org to learn more about this amazing pet and to see other available dogs and cats.

Story
Meet Mia 💛 At just 5 pounds, this Maltese–Papillon mix has lived through more change than any dog should. After losing both of her parents, Mia is now looking for something very specific—a true forever home. The kind where she can settle in and never have to start over again. At her age, that could mean 10+ years of love, and she deserves every one of them. Mia thrives on routine and absolutely lives for her long walks. She’d love someone active who will keep that part of her world going. She also loves riding in the car and being part of whatever you’re doing. Once she’s had her outings, she’s happy to curl up right next to you and just be close—quietly keeping you company wherever you are. She enjoys being carried in a pouch, making her the perfect little companion whether you’re out and about or relaxing at home. Mia can be a bit particular (especially when it comes to food), but she knows what she likes. She may bark when she first sees another dog, but once she meets them, she quickly forgets all about it. She loves people, attention, and connection—but most of all, she wants her person. Someone who will truly show up for her, include her, and give her the consistency she’s been missing. This is a dog who needs the right fit—someone ready to give her the stability and care she deserves. In return, you’ll have a loyal little companion who just wants to finally be home—for good.
