Story
Bilbo is a 5-year-old Maltese and Poodle mix who came to YAPS after being found wandering the streets. He was withdrawn, very frightened, and would not interact with staff. However, after many weeks, he began to slowly trust again and rebuild his confidence, thanks to the kindness and patience of the staff and volunteers.  Bilbo showed signs of improvement, but never so much as when a young, friendly, playful dog was placed in his kennel. Bilbo was relaxed, happy, and wagging his tail. His rehabilitation continued when placed with a foster family who provided the care and attention he deserved. Bilbo has been through a lot and would now love to find his very own stable, loving, forever home he so deserves.

Story
Meet Bilibo (aka Bill): The Spicy Snack-Loving Icon You Never Knew You Needed 🐾 Listen… Bill isn’t for everyone. He’s a little “partially house-trained, slightly judgy, and gives out his love like it’s an exclusive VIP membership”. But for the right person? He’s your ride-or-die. 💥 Pros: ✔️ Will hear you open the fridge from 3 zip codes away. ✔️ Loves “kisses, kisses” if you’re on his approved list. ✔️ Gets along great with other dogs. ✔️ Looks like a scruffy little rockstar who doesn’t care about your HOA rules. ⚡️ Cons (but like… funny ones): ✖️ He’s choosy with humans. (Don’t take it personally, Karen.) ✖️ “Partially” house-trained. (Let’s call it rustic charm.) ✖️ Will probably sass you if dinner’s late. 🎯 Bill needs a human who: ✔️ Gets his sense of humor ✔️ Knows the fridge is now a shared resource ✔️ Understands true love is earned, not given away free 🚨 I’ve fostered this guy WAY too long. He’s ready for his forever home where he can live his main character energy. 📦 Adoption includes: 1 Spicy Dog Lifetime supply of personality A heart that will melt (eventually)

Cracker

Maltese

Female, Senior
Temecula, CA
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Cracker was originally found roaming the streets several years ago. She is estimated to be around 10 years old. Loves walks and sitting on laps. Can play with other animals but prefers to be the only pet. She gets a little feisty sometimes and plays with toys but prefers to play alone. Does not like being alone. She has separation anxiety. She does bark at other animals and people during walks or if they come to the door. She is semi house trained. She will try to hold it and let you know she has to go potty but will go on carpet or try to target a potty a pad if available. Not a good fit for someone living in an apartment as she will bark at noises in the hallway or when left alone. Reason for re-homing: She has been our family dog since she was rescued many years ago. She is a great dog and will be missed but we are no longer able to give her the time that she needs.
