Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Otto - The Tiny Tornado of Charm & Sass Otto isn't just any Maltese mix - he's a one-of-a-kind spark plug wrapped in fluff with a heart as big as his personality. At around 9 months old and weighing in at a sprightly 11-12 pounds, Otto is still figuring out this whole "growing up" thing - but he's doing it in style. Otto came to us after finding it tough to share space with a toddler. Honestly, we get it - being a toddler himself, Otto just wasn't ready for the grabby hands and constant attention. He's a sensitive soul with a strong sense of self. Sometimes he's the life of the party, and other times he's off with his doggie crew doing important dog things (read: zoomies, stick inspection, tail-chasing strategy meetings). Playtime? Count him in. Other dog? Love them. Small children? Not his vibe. Because of his past, Otto's ideal home is one without kids under 10. He's looking for a family that gets his balance of cuddle time and "me time." He has some puppy manners to polish up, but he makes up for it with buckets of love and a truly special personality. Otto's not just looking for a home - he's looking for a teammate, a playmate, a soft place to land when the world gets a little too loud. If you've got the patience to let him grow, and the heart to love him just as he is, Otto might just be your forever sidekick. Currently accepting applications here for Best Friend positions - must love dogs and tolerate a little sass!Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.August 17, 2025, 8:01 pm

Story
Meet Pancake, a sweet 11-year-old, 11 pound Maltese mix with a gentle spirit and the biggest heart. When Pancake first arrived, he was shy and unsure, often backing away when approached or when it was time for his leash. With patience, love, and reassurance, he slowly learned he was safe. Once that trust clicked, everything changed. Pancake began leaning in for pets, asking for affection, and soaking up every bit of attention he could get. While he is not a high energy guy, Pancake loves being part of the action. He does great on daily walks, enjoys hikes, and is happy tagging along with his people wherever the day takes them. He walks nicely on leash and truly loves feeling included. For a senior pup, he keeps up like a champ. He has also been working hard on his house training and has made wonderful progress in a short amount of time. Pancake may bark when he needs to go outside or wants attention, and since he is very food motivated, continued training is both fun and rewarding. Pancake gets along beautifully with other dogs and is a gentle, easygoing companion. He started out sleeping comfortably in his crate but has since graduated to his foster’s bed, a big milestone for a pup who once kept his distance. He is the perfect blend of calm, cuddly, and quietly adventurous. Pancake may have begun his journey a little unsure, but now he is ready to spend his golden years loving and being loved. 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.
