Story

PLEASE COMPLETE OUR ADOPTION APPLICATION AT WWW.LOVEBUGSRESCUE.ORG IF YOU'D LIKE TO BE CONSIDERED FOR ADOPTION: SPECIAL NEEDS: Say hello to Patsy, a sweet-natured 3-year-old Maltese mix who weighs just 12 pounds but has love enough to fill a whole home. This darling girl charms everyone she meets with her gentle spirit, soft eyes, and cuddly nature. Patsy has a condition called megacolon, which means her colon doesn’t move things along quite as smoothly as it should. With the help of medication, a special diet, and a bit of monitoring, Patsy manages beautifully — though she’ll need a family who understands that sometimes she might need a little extra help. She’s wonderfully well-mannered in the home, walks nicely on leash, and adores spending time with people. Her long, silky coat will need regular grooming to keep her looking as lovely as she feels. Patsy is looking for a patient and loving forever home that will embrace her just the way she is — quirks and all. In return, she promises endless affection, loyalty, and snuggles. Could you be the special person who gives this beautiful girl the life she deserves? Patsy's adoption fee is $400 and includes her spay, microchip, vaccines/deworming/flea treatment all current. apply at www.lovebugsrescue.org

Story

At just two years old, this adorable Maltipoo may be small, but his personality is anything but! He’s a loyal little guy with a big heart and an even bigger sense of responsibility. Once he bonds with his person, he takes his job as “official protector” very seriously — maybe just a little too seriously. He loves his human deeply and prefers not to share the spotlight. Because of his strong attachment style, he would do best as the only dog in the home. He wants all your love, attention, and lap space to himself — and honestly, he’ll return it tenfold. We’re not sure how he feels about cats yet, so slow introductions would be key. This sweet boy would thrive in a home with respectful kids over 12 who understand that even cute, fluffy dogs need personal space. He’s incredibly loving, affectionate, and happiest when he’s close to his person — but he does need clear, consistent boundaries to help him feel secure and balanced. With structure, patience, and positive reinforcement, this little Maltipoo will blossom into the most devoted companion you could ask for. He just needs someone who can lovingly remind him that he doesn’t have to run the household — he just has to be adored in it. Ready to meet your pint-sized protector? March 17, 2026, 7:02 pm

Our Adoption Process:Muttsinneed.org/adoption-process Meet Kevin! A 3 year old Maltese mix weighing about 10 pounds. He has the face only a mother would love with his intense underbite. This little dude has a big personality and hanging out with him is anything but boring. He is curious, silly, dog-friendly, people-friendly and hasn’t had a treat he didn’t love. The way to his heart is through his stomach. Kevin has met cats before and mostly ignores them so we feel like with proper introduction and time, he will happily co-exist with any human, dog , and cat. He’s eager to find his forever home where he can share his playful spirit and affection. To meet Kevin, apply here: https://www.muttsinneed.org/adoption-application.html April 24, 2026, 3:23 pm

Click Here to Sponsor Me! Adoption APPLICATION: Muttsinneed.org/adoption-application ** Application must be completed prior to a meet & greet. Our Adoption Process:Muttsinneed.org/adoption-process Meet Posey, a 4 year old, 7-pound darling with a sophisticated look that belongs on a Hamptons getaway. Rescued from a difficult past, Posey is a sensitive soul who takes a little time to decide who is part of her "inner circle." She isn't the type to rush the door for a stranger, but she blossoms beautifully once she recognizes a familiar face. Her absolute favorite place in the world is being carried—held close in your arms is where she feels safest. While she is still learning to be brave on a leash, she is a champion cuddler who is perfectly content being your tiny, portable companion. Confidence is a journey for Posey, so she is looking for a home with another dog to help show her the ropes and give her the courage to explore. If you have a patient heart and a cozy spot in your arms for this 4-year-old beauty, you can apply to meet her at https://www.muttsinneed.org/adoption-application.html April 24, 2026, 3:23 pm

Story

Max (Silver) and his brother Pookie (Red) share an unbreakable bond and are looking for a forever home together. At around 8 years old and 12 pounds, Max is the easygoing half of the duo, often keeping a watchful, caring eye on his beloved brother. Both Max and Pookie are incredibly sweet, affectionate souls who thrive on love, cuddles, and simply being close to their people. They would be happiest in a calm, cozy home where someone is around most of the time—perhaps someone who works remotely or is retired—so they can enjoy the companionship they cherish so much. If you’re looking to open your heart to not just one, but two devoted little companions, Max and Pookie are ready to fill your days with warmth and love. To meet Max & Pookie, please complete the adoption application at www.greatpets.org. Their adoption donation is $400 and includes their vet exam, vaccinations, flea control, microchip, bloodwork and fecal exam. April 23, 2026, 3:15 pm
