Story
The sociable Griffin is eager to meet his new family! This adorable 2-month-old (born around June 15, 2025) Maltese/Chihuahua mix weighs just 3.3 pounds and is a charming white and gold pup. He and his sister Gidget are available for adoption—either together or separately—so you can choose the perfect match for your home. Though they would love a home together. Griffin is a sweet, lively puppy who loves to play and cuddle. This handsome boy is ready to find his forever home and promises to bring joy and gleeful moments into your life! As a young pup, he’ll need plenty of chew toys and patience with house training, he is working on it now. He’ll also be ready to be leash trained once fully vaccinated. Griffin is scheduled for neutering soon but is available for adoption now. He’s already microchipped, vaccinated, dewormed, and flea-treated. Due to his small size, we recommend adult-only homes or homes with older children. If you think Griffin would be a perfect fit for your family, don’t wait—apply today and add this delightful boy to your life!

Story
Beautiful Nikki captures the heart of every person that comes into the sanctuary! Nikki is an adorable 1-year-old Yorkie mix weighing just 6.5 pounds. Her beautiful gold and white coat, combined with her sweet personality, makes her a heart-melting companion. She is playful and loving. She is a cuddle bug who loves to snuggle 24/7 and may thrive as an only pet, making her perfect for a loving home. Nikki may need some additional leash training, but her small size makes her easy to carry in a tote or stroller. She's working on house training with potty pads and responds well to commands like "go potty" outside. Due to her tiny size, she should not be left outside alone and should have an agile household. She’s spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, and flea-treated, and will require regular grooming to keep her looking her best. Nikki is ready to bring endless love and joy to her forever home. Follow us on Facebook to see more about Nikki and other wonderful dogs! Follow us. https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61582104536779 to see what we are doing and to see other dogs.

Story
      &#226&#156&#168 Meet Boq Wicked — 6 lbs of tiny, determined heart &#226&#156&#168 Available for Adoption through Umbrella of Hope Boq Wicked is a 9-year-old, 6-pound Maltese mix with a soft black and white coat, a gentle spirit, and a lifetime of stories behind his cloudy eyes. He may be small, but this little gentleman has preferences, routines, and a quirky charm that make him unforgettable to those lucky enough to earn his trust. His Personality Boq is happiest when the world is quiet, steady, and predictable. His absolute favorite part of the day? His walks. He walks beautifully on leash and will trot right alongside you like the world’s tiniest hiking buddy. He gets along well with other dogs, but people are a different story — Boq needs time, patience, and a calm approach before he feels safe with new humans. Once he trusts you, he’s sweet, affectionate in his own gentle way, and very food-motivated. (Blueberries, watermelon, and chicken? Yes, please.) Because Boq is deaf and has limited vision, he can be reactive if startled. He’s not recommended for a home with small children. His perfect match is someone experienced with shy or special-needs pups — someone who recognizes that progress may be slow… but absolutely worth it. Daily Life with Boq • Not fully housebroken, but does well if taken outside regularly • Doesn’t enjoy crates, carriers, or car rides • Likes to explore, sniff, and take in the world on his walks • Occasionally plays with small toys (when the mood strikes) Boq isn’t a turnkey dog — he’s a relationship dog. He needs someone who sees beyond first impressions and understands the quiet magic of earning the trust of a fearful pup. In return, you’ll get loyalty, routine, companionship, and the joy of being his safe place. If you’re patient, compassionate, and looking for a small senior buddy who just needs someone to believe in him, Boq Wicked might be your perfect match.
