Story
Poppy was born in a SoCal animal shelter on May 2nd; and we got the puppies when they were 2 days old. Momma is Rosey, and she has been a wonderful mom to all 5 of her babies; we don't know who the dad is but we suspect he is a small dog like Rosey. We're estimating the pups will weigh approximately 15-18 pounds when fully grown. They are healthy and happy little girls, very sweet with calm temperaments, and they love to be held. They are all adorable, and we just can't pick a favorite! Maybe you can. :) If you're thinking about adopting a puppy, please keep in mind that puppies get under-foot and can trip seniors or accidentally get stepped on. And, just like a human baby, they need constant supervision. These little girls are still very fragile, so inexperienced animal handlers or rough unaware kids could hurt them. And please make sure you have the time and the ability to be home with her most of the time and train her. Adopting a dog is a lifetime commitment for the life of the dog, and these small dogs can live 15-20 years. We want to place pups in forever homes. If you are interested in meeting and possibly adopting a puppy, the first step is to submit an adoption application.

Story
We rescued Rosey from a SoCal shelter two days after giving birth to 5 female pups. Rosey is white and has straight Maltese type long hair, and we're guessing she's about 3-4 years old. She weighs 15 pounds now, but once all the pups are fully weaned she should fill out to about 18 pounds to be healthy. When she arrived, she was scared, timid and wanting to be held, and she quickly bonded with her foster mom and the other household members. She greets strangers first with a bark, then a sniff, then she calms down. She is thin and her hair is sparse, which may be due to malnourishment prior to coming into rescue. She's been eating lots of good and healthy food in her foster home, but nursing moms have a hard time putting on weight no matter how much you feed them. The pups are eating food now, but they love the closeness that nursing provides, and Rosey still allows it. She's a great mom and took very good care of her pups. Rosey is timid at first and will need some help with confidence building; lots of pets, and being able to be near you a lot at first until she gets used to her new environment will go a long way. A regular routine is key to helping dogs feel safe, and is key to training Rosey. She finds comfort in knowing what to expect and routine creates this. Rosey will make someone a wonderful, sweet and affectionate companion. Like all dogs who go into a new environment, you will need to potty train her so she will learn your expectations, where and when to go. Also, walking on leash is new to her, but with some patience and encouragement she will learn to love her walks. If you are interested in meeting and possibly adopting Rosey, the first step is to submit an adoption application.
