Story

Symon is a gentle sweetheart with a big heart for people. New faces and new situations can make him a little nervous at first, but he warms up in no time. Once he trusts you, he just wants to be near you - content to follow you from room to room or settle in close by, as long as he's not left behind. Symon gets along great with dogs and cats, and does well with people of all ages, so he'd fit right into a variety of homes. He's recently neutered and making great progress with housetraining. Give Symon a little time, and he'll give you his whole heart.

Story

Meet Sweet Odette! Don’t let her scruffy little haircut fool you—Odette is a tiny survivor with the biggest heart. This sweet, playful girl weighs just 7 1/2 pounds and was rescued from a South Los Angeles shelter after enduring heartbreaking neglect. She arrived severely matted, painfully thin, covered in fleas, and suffering from flea dermatitis. Her coat was so tangled that she had to be shaved, and during an earlier attempt to remove the mats, she was accidentally cut and required two staples. Thankfully, she’s now completely healed. Today, Odette is a brand-new girl! She’s gained healthy weight, her soft coat is slowly growing back, and her joyful personality shines brighter every day. She’s fully vetted, spayed, and we believe she’s under one year old . Odette is full of puppy fun! She loves carrying around her toys, zooming around the yard, chewing on her favorite treats, and soaking up all the love she can get. She gets along wonderfully with other dogs and would love a playful canine companion to share adventures with. She’s doing great on leash, sleeps quietly in her crate at night, and is making wonderful progress with her potty training. Every day, her beautiful coat grows in a little more—but she’s already beautiful where it matters most. Odette is affectionate, resilient, and ready to spend the rest of her life knowing only love. If you’re looking for a happy little sidekick who will brighten every day, Odette is your girl.

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? October 9, 2026, 11:06 pm

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

Meet Chewie! â¤ï¸ Chewie is an approximately 11-year-old Maltese mix who weighs 14 pounds, and this sweet little boy is ready for a fresh start and a loving home to call his own. He came to us as an owner surrender due to a life-changing family situation. Chewie is a lovable, mellow, and sweet little guy. He is housetrained, happily sleeps in his crate, and is an easygoing companion who would love nothing more than to be part of a family. He enjoys his daily walks and, despite his age, still loves to show off his playful side with some adorable zoomies in the backyard! While Chewie is dog friendly, he prefers to socialize with smaller dogs his size. He also tends to be more cautious with men and will need a slow introduction to men he doesn't know. Chewie recently underwent extensive dental surgery. Because he had never received previous dental care, he unfortunately lost all of his teeth. But don’t let that worry you—Chewie doesn’t seem to know he’s missing a single tooth! He is happy, comfortable, and enjoys his meals. He will simply need to remain on a soft-food diet. His bloodwork shows that he is in good health for his age, and he has completed his medical intake. Now all Chewie needs is someone to give him the love, comfort, and happily-ever-after he deserves. If you’re looking for a sweet, gentle little companion who will be grateful for every bit of love you give him, Chewie may be your perfect match. If you are interested in meeting Chewie, please first complete an adoption application on our website: www.greatpets.org. Chewie’s $200 adoption donation includes his veterinary examination, vaccinations, bloodwork, extensive dental surgery, fecal examination, microchip, and flea control.October 7, 2026, 9:40 am

Story

Meet Memphis a stunning 10 pound Maltese who has already overcome more in her young life than most dogs ever will. Rescued from a high kill shelter, Memphis found himself fighting for his life. He was scared of his surroundings and sounds which is quite overwhelming for point size baby and sadly placed on the euthanasia list. Just hours from the unthinkable, our rescue pulled him to safety. Today he is glowing with life. Memphis is the definition of resilient beauty. His sleek White coat and intelligent, soulful eyes turn heads everywhere he goes. He is truly beautiful but his real magic is on the inside: this boy has the gentlest, most humble spirit you’ll ever meet. He is wonderful with children, adults, and other dogs, always greeting everyone with a soft tail wag and a sweet lean. He is playful and lights up on adventures, yet the moment the day winds down he becomes the world’s best cuddle bug, happily curling up next to you like he has always belonged there. Memphis is affectionate, eager to please, and has that perfect blend of soft energy and calm that makes him an ideal companion for almost any home. After everything he has been through, he deserves the world and all he wants in return is a family to love him forever. Memphis is fully healthy, spayed, vaccinated, and ready to steal your heart (and probably a few treats). Could you be his happy ending? ?
