Story
Attention! RIGBY Here! PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE BIO BEFORE INQUIRING ABOUT MY ADOPTION PLEASE :) I am a very cute, little, Maltese/Chihuahua (Malchi) boy, I was born February 7, 2019. I am timid but sweet once I get to know you, I am very shy. I live with other dogs at the rescue, so I am ok with dogs, again it takes me some time to trust. I have been with rescue a long time because I suffer from some type of doggie vertigo and get car sick really easy, I always have since I was a puppy, so its hard for most families who enjoy taking their pup traveling. Its better now than it was when I was little but I still am nervous in the car. I need a loving patient family to open their hearts and home to allow me time to get to know you... Could that be you?? I was rescued from Lancaster, our humans didn't want us babies and gave us away and kept my Mama (Chihuahua) and Daddy (Maltese). I had siblings but they gave them away to other people instead of the rescue... Here is some information on my Mix Breed https://dogappy.com/information-about-maltese-chihuahua-mix-malchi Yours with a happy tailwag! Rigby

Story
Meet Sophie! She is a sweet, playful girl that had a rough start, but is now on her way to living her best life! Sophie is around seven years old but has the energy of a youngster. She loves to run around the yard exploring, and also loves to play with her toys and other dogs. She literally takes her toys and “throws” them for herself - it’s the cutest thing ever! She will do best in a home with another dog for companionship, and would love to have regular walks to channel her abundant energy. She loves all people and will want to be your shadow, as well as cuddle with you on the sofa when it’s time to rest. She has very good manners when waiting for a treat, and is working on basic commands and potty training. Sophie is patiently awaiting her new furever home - is that with you? If you are interested in adopting, please visit the I.C.A.R.E. Dog Rescue website and complete an adoption application: www.icaredogrescue.org/ready-to-adopt Adoption fee includes: spay/neuter • shots up to date • micro-chip • fecal and vet check Breeds and age are not guaranteed.

Story
This adorable old guy has had a rough life. Dumped on the street, blind and nearly deaf, he must have been terrified. We cleaned him up and are giving him lots of love to make up for the neglect he has endured. If you are looking for a companion to sit with, Simon would love that. A senior would be a perfect fit for Simon. All this sweet boy needs is a quiet home without too much activity. If you would like to meet Simon, please complete the adoption application on our website www.muttlycrew.org
