Story
We are looking for a new forever home for our 5-year-old Maltese Poodle, Max. About Max • Age: 5 years • Breed: Maltese Poodle mix • Color: White • Weight: about 14 lbs • Personality: Max is a wonderful dog — gentle, friendly, and very well-behaved. He loves playing fetch and chasing his favorite ball. • Health: Healthy and up to date on vaccinations. Why we are rehoming? We recently welcomed a new baby, and as much as we love Max, we are no longer able to give him the time and attention he deserves. What we are looking for? A kind and responsible person or family who can give Max a loving home with plenty of care and companionship. If you are interested in adopting Max or would like more information, please send me a message. We want to find the best possible home for him.

Story
Chip is a 5-year-old bundle of love looking for his forever home! This strong and dense boy may be sturdy on the outside, but inside, he's all heart. Affectionate and attention-loving, Chip thrives on belly rubs, head scratches, and quality time with his people. He’s also super adaptable—whether it’s a cozy night in or an adventure outside, Chip is happy to be right by your side. He’s already mastered sit and stay, is crate trained, making him a great companion for someone looking for a well-mannered pup. Chip does well with other dogs, and is always up for a tasty snack (or two)! Now, all he needs is a loving home where he can share his big heart and loyal spirit. Interested in adopting this pet?

Story
Welcome 2 year, 11 month old, 20 lb Maltese/Poodle mix, Princess Maltipoo. Princess came to us after being surrendered by her owners, whose home was not a good match for her needs. She is a super-friendly, extremely happy, energetic, and exuberant girl. Princess loves people and dogs. She likes to play with other pups. Princess needs lots of walks and other activities. She has allergies that require management. Princess can be an escape artist without the proper home environment. With patience, training, an experienced dog owner could give Princess the royal treatment she deserves. Visit our website, adoptocpets.org/adopt to apply.

Story
This darling boy is a joy to have around. He's a little shy at first but warms up quickly and loves to play and snuggle. The ideal home for Bruno would be where someone is home a lot, with a backyard for him to run around and someone who loves to walk and play with him, and another playful dog is a must. No small children, please. If you would like to meet Bruno please complete the adoption application on the website. www.muttlycrew.org

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  We know Posey has the cutest face and while it looks like she vacations in the Hamptons in the fall, she has a mysterious past, where she was severely underweight in the shelter, and has her trust issues. Not the horrible type of trust issues, just the type that she won't immediately greet you if you're first meeting her. She isn't mean, just unsure at times, but has become more comfortable with faces she sees often.  Posey is 3 years old and 7lbs and was rescued from SEAACA. She LOVES being carried around, it's where she feels safe and she is still unsure about leashes and going on walks with a leash. Posey would benefit from having another dog in the home to help with her confidence. If you would like to meet her, please do an application on our website. www.MuttsInNeed.org   July 10, 2025, 2:39 pm
