Story
Darling Cosmo is a 4-year-old, 11-pound Maltese/Yorkie mix wrapped in soft cream- colored fur and topped off with the cutest little face and ears! This adorable little guy may be small in size, but he has all the makings of a wonderful and devoted best friend. Cosmo is a gentle, somewhat reserved pup who appreciates the quieter things in life. He’s not looking for a home filled with hustle and bustle. He’d much rather take a leisurely stroll around the neighborhood and then curl up beside his favorite person for a cozy evening on the sofa. Whether you’re watching 49ers football, settling in for a Sunday-night movie, or simply enjoying a peaceful afternoon together, Cosmo would be very happy to keep you company. Cosmo currently lives with two other dogs and may enjoy having a friendly canine companion in his new home. What matters most to him, though, is finding a calm, loving environment where he can relax, feel secure, and settle in at his own pace. A single person, couple, or family with a teenager could all be wonderful possibilities for this sweet boy. Cosmo would especially benefit from an experienced, patient adopter who understands that sometimes the quieter pups just need a little extra time to know they are safe and loved. And once Cosmo realizes he is finally home for good, you just may discover that this reserved little sweetheart has been saving up a whole lot of love and devotion for someone very special. Could that someone be you?

Story
Horchata is a silly girl with lots of spunk. She can be a bit shy with new people but once she knows you are safe her zoomies come out. She likely came from a hoarding situation where she was undersocialized. If you have the patience to allow this sweet girl to come out of her shell you wont be disapointed.  All dogs/puppies will be spayed/neutered unless spay/neuter contract is signed with additional deposit. We do NOT adopt puppies in pairs. For more photos and videos please see our website www.hdbnqrescue.org/bitches youtube page: https://www.youtube.com/@HDBnQRescue ##2861915##

Story
Hello there everyone, my name is Lester! I am a 5 year old, neutered male Maltese, who weighs about 6lbs. I have been described by my friends here at PHS as the easiest, sweetest pup ever! I am an easygoing guy, who loves nothing more than to be with my favorite people, hanging out and being spoiled with all of the affection I can get. I do have some beautiful long hair, so be prepared to brush me and help me with my hair care so I can continue to be the most handsome guy out here. If you are looking for a sweet, loving, fun-sized companion then come down and ask about me! Lester ID#A0996970Unless otherwise indicated, adoptable animals are located at our Lantos Center for Compassion at 1450 Rollins Road, Burlingame, CA 94010.  You may call us at 650-340-7022 to schedule an appointment, or just drop by. Drop-In hours for Same Day Adoptions are 11 am – 5 pm, 7 days a week (closed major holidays).

Story
How can someone named Tempest be this soft and sweet? This darling Maltese is less raging storm and more fluffy little cloud drifting directly toward the nearest human. Her unbelievably soft coat practically demands petting, which works out perfectly because Tempest is very much a people person. She enjoys human company, affection, and being close to the folks she loves. Other dogs? She’s not particularly invested in their business. Tempest would much rather spend her social energy charming the humans in the room, thank you very much. Sweet-natured and wonderfully people-oriented, she knows exactly where her priorities lie: humans first, humans second, and probably more humans after that. If you’ve been searching for a soft little companion who would happily make you the center of her universe, Tempest is ready to blow right into your heart. Here's some notes from her foster : Tempest has such a sweet and fiery spirit! She isn't afraid to be herself and let you know what she does and doesn't like. Although Tempest struggles to walk further distance, that doesn't stop her from making the most of life. Tempest is happiest snuggled up on the couch with her people, enjoying a nice TV show and cuddling with a soft blanket. If you're looking for a confident, resilient, and loving little pup, then Tempest is your gal!

Story
Likely named for the state of his silky white curls when he hasn’t had a haircut in a while, Shaggy is a charming Maltipoo who is intrepidly exploring Muttville in search of his forever home. A sweet boy, Shaggy has been getting along well with the other mutts, and he’ll happily come spend some time with you if you have a tasty treat! He also likes a bit of attention, so he may bark if you are not treating him as the superstar he so clearly is. Shaggy would like to find a home full of cuddles where he can shine as the center of attention. If you were looking for a small white ball of fluff to be the center of your universe, come meet Shaggy! Here's some notes from his foster: Shaggy is looking for a great companion to spend time with and cuddle. He is very easy going and enjoys human and dog company. A perfect day for Saggy would be a few walks a day, followed by lots of cuddles and snoozes. Shaggy loves exploring the outside.

Story
Lisa Loeb is a cute, fluffy Maltese who wants to know, do you sleep?  Because she does, and in fact, takes it to an art form!  She’s looking for a cozy spot to curl up, ideally situated in a sunbeam, and every time you go to leave, she’ll ask you to stay (because she misses you!).  A diminutive damsel covered in a pouf of cream-colored fluff, Lisa looks quite a bit like a stuffie but we guarantee you she’s a real doggo.  Without Lisa in your life, you might feel that reality bites, so why not safeguard against that by adopting her today?  This senior singer songwriter is full of inspiration, and she’d love to share hers with you today!

These pups are in Pacifica, California too!

Story
If there ever was a dog who needed human kindness and love, it is Ziggy. Ten-year-old Ziggy, a Poodle/Bichon mix, has spent much of his life being overlooked and neglected. When no other rescue was willing to step forward, CACC opened its doors, and its heart, to this deserving little dog. Years of neglect took a devastating toll. Ziggy lost his vision, most of his teeth, and faced several other medical challenges. Yet somehow, the hardships he endured never dimmed his sweet spirit. He still greets each day with trust, a wagging tail, and a heart full of love. After everything he has been through, Ziggy still chooses joy. He is a beautiful reminder of the resilience of dogs. Despite the difficult life he has known, Ziggy remains a gentle, affectionate soul who enjoys the company of people, other dogs, and likely even cats. He can be silly, playful, and even mischievous at times. Most of all, he loves being close to his people and sharing the simple happiness of everyday life. Ziggy adores curling up in a warm lap and is happiest when he";s simply included in whatever you're doing. He has learned to navigate the world without sight and adapts remarkably well to new environments. Once he learns the layout of a home, he moves around with surprising confidence, happily trotting toward the sound of a familiar voice. Blindness doesn"t define Ziggy; it is simply one small part of who he is. Fully potty trained, Ziggy sleeps soundly through the night in his x-pen without needing a potty break. Even more amazing, he is a very low-maintenance companion who requires only minimal accommodations for his blindness. His future family will simply need to help him gradually explore the outdoors and, most importantly, shower him with the love and affection he has gone without for far too long. These days, Ziggy finds joy in life's simplest pleasures: a tasty treat, a gentle cuddle, sniffing around the yard, or stretching out for a nap in a sunny spot. He doesn't need grand adventures or endless activity. What he longs for is a safe home, a soft bed, and someone whose voice he can learn by heart. For most of his life, Ziggy has known what it feels like to be unwanted. We want his next chapter to be different. We want him to know what it means to be cherished, protected, and deeply loved. What Ziggy wants most now is simple: comfort, companionship, and a family to call his own. In return, he offers the kind of devotion that only a grateful old soul can give. Though he cannot see the people who love him, he feels their kindness completely. If you have room in your heart for this extraordinary little dog, please let us know. Opening your home to Ziggy may be one of the most meaningful acts of kindness you'll ever make, and one of the most rewarding. Some dogs leave paw prints on your floor. Dogs like Ziggy leave paw prints on your heart forever.
