Story

Meet Kris, a small but soulful little guy with a gentle presence and a big heart. Kris is approximately 7 pounds and is listed as 10 months old, though we suspect he may be closer to 1 year old. Regardless of his exact age, he is fully grown, compact, and easy to have around. Kris is fixed, vaccinated, potty trained, and dog friendly. He is exceptionally quiet, well mannered, and friendly, although he still likes to give little puppy nibbles at times as he continues to learn appropriate manners. One moment he can be joyful and playful, and the next he is content to retreat to a cozy spot to observe and process his surroundings. He appreciates a peaceful environment and benefits from patience as he continues to decompress and build confidence. This little guy has a sweet, thoughtful nature and would do well with an adopter who understands that some dogs need a bit of time to fully settle in. Kris may be small, but he has a lot of love to give and is ready to find a home where he can feel safe, secure, and truly cherished. 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

Meet Remi! She is a darling 3-year-old Maltese mix with a big personality in a tiny 5 pound body. She’s as cute as a button and has been steadily putting on healthy weight thanks to her loving foster family. This adorable girl is sweet, high energy, and incredibly loving. She settled beautifully into her foster home where she sleeps quietly through the night in her crate and enjoys the company of the four dogs she currently lives with. Remi loves having friends and fits right into the fun. She is still working on her potty training, but she is doing well when taken outside regularly and responds wonderfully to a consistent routine. Remi will thrive in a home that can give her attention, playtime, and continued guidance as she blossoms into the perfect companion. If you’re looking for a tiny pup with a huge heart, Remi just might be your girl! If you are interested in adopting, please visit the I.C.A.R.E.

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

PLEASE COMPLETE OUR ADOPTION APPLICATION AT WWW.LOVEBUGSRESCUE.ORG IF YOU'D LIKE TO BE CONSIDERED FOR ADOPTION: SPECIAL NEEDS: Say hello to Patsy, a sweet-natured 3-year-old Maltese mix who weighs just 12 pounds but has love enough to fill a whole home. This darling girl charms everyone she meets with her gentle spirit, soft eyes, and cuddly nature. Patsy has a condition called megacolon, which means her colon doesn’t move things along quite as smoothly as it should. With the help of medication, a special diet, and a bit of monitoring, Patsy manages beautifully — though she’ll need a family who understands that sometimes she might need a little extra help. She’s wonderfully well-mannered in the home, walks nicely on leash, and adores spending time with people. Her long, silky coat will need regular grooming to keep her looking as lovely as she feels. Patsy is looking for a patient and loving forever home that will embrace her just the way she is — quirks and all. In return, she promises endless affection, loyalty, and snuggles. Could you be the special person who gives this beautiful girl the life she deserves? Patsy's adoption fee is $400 and includes her spay, microchip, vaccines/deworming/flea treatment all current. apply at www.lovebugsrescue.org
