Story

Sophie the Maltipom (Maltese / Pomeranian Mix) is a tiny, gentle soul who was rescued from a difficult start in life. Along with her siblings, she was confiscated by animal control from a backyard breeder. She never knew what it felt like to be truly wanted just a little puppy meant to be used and sold. But those days are behind her now. At 6 months old and a dainty 7 pounds, Sophie is a quiet, affectionate little love bug who simply wants to cuddle, play, and give all the kisses she has stored up. She is incredibly sweet and gentle, with a calm, peaceful personality that makes her a joy to be around. She is fully vaccinated, spayed, and expected to stay a petite 10 pounds or under. Sophie gets along beautifully with other dogs, cats, and people of every age and size. She is friendly, trusting, and eager to bond with her new family. Whether she is curled up quietly in your lap or gently playing with her toys, her only goal in life is to love and be loved. This precious girl has never had a real home of her own. She is ready to leave her past behind and finally become someone's cherished forever baby. If you are looking for a quiet, sweet, snuggly little companion who will adore you with her whole heart, Sophie is hoping you might be her forever family. Adoption inquiries welcome.

Story

Meet 3-year-old, 10 lb, friendly Maltese, Simon. Simon came to us from a local shelter where he entered as a stray. He was found in an empty lot. The shelter had to shave him because of his poor condition. He's got an adorable face, so he should look great when the fur on his body grows back. Simon is an active, happy dog who wants to be with everyone. Simon is recovering from his neuter surgery, so we haven't seen the full level of his active nature.

Story

I'm a 2½-year-old Maltese weighing just 8 pounds, and I'm looking for a very special forever home. I'll be honest—| can be pretty shy when I first meet new people. The world can feel a little scary sometimes, and I need a patient family that will let me build trust at my own pace. But once I feel safe, you'll get to see the sweet, gentle little girl l've been waiting to become. One thing that's helped me blossom is having another dog by my side. My foster sister, Venus, has given me confidence l never knew I had. Watching her has taught me that people can be kind, life can be fun, and it's okay to come out of my shell. Because of that, I must have another friendly, confident dog in my forever home to help me continue growing. My foster dad has watched my personality bloom since Venus came into my life. Every day I become a little braver, a little more curious, and a little more confident. One of my favorite little quirks? My foster dad calls me "Puppy," and I've learned that's me! I'll happily respond when he says it, and it always makes my little tail wag. While it's not required, my biggest wish would be for Venus and me to be adopted together. We've become such a wonderful team, and having my best friend by my side would make my dreams come true. If you have a gentle heart, a patient home, and a playful pup looking for a little sister, I just might be the perfect addition to your family. If you're interested in meeting me, please fill out an adoption application at LOLR.org. I can't wait to find the forever family I've been dreaming of. ##2258325##

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? August 23, 2026, 12:46 am
