Welcome 2 year, 11 month old, 20 lb Maltese/Poodle mix Princess Maltipoo. Princess is a super-friendly, extremely happy and exuberant girl. Everyone who meets her falls in love. She has some allergies. She appears to be pad-trained, but will need some potty-training reinforcement. Princess loves people and other dogs. She is not a big fan of alone time. (She fancies herself an escape artist in her attempts to find you). This owner surrendered pup is just begging for love and attention. With some patience, training and a secure yard, an experienced dog owner could give Princess the royal treatment she deserves. Visit our website, adoptocpets.org/adopt to apply.

This adorable old guy has had a rough life. Dumped on the street, blind and nearly deaf, he must have been terrified.

A senior would be a perfect fit for Simon. All this sweet boy needs is a quiet home without too much activity.
