Max (Silver) and his brother Pookie (Red) share an unbreakable bond and are looking for a forever home together.

Story

At just two years old, this adorable Maltipoo may be small, but his personality is anything but! He’s a loyal little guy with a big heart and an even bigger sense of responsibility. Once he bonds with his person, he takes his job as “official protector” very seriously — maybe just a little too seriously. He loves his human deeply and prefers not to share the spotlight. Because of his strong attachment style, he would do best as the only dog in the home. He wants all your love, attention, and lap space to himself — and honestly, he’ll return it tenfold. We’re not sure how he feels about cats yet, so slow introductions would be key. This sweet boy would thrive in a home with respectful kids over 12 who understand that even cute, fluffy dogs need personal space. He’s incredibly loving, affectionate, and happiest when he’s close to his person — but he does need clear, consistent boundaries to help him feel secure and balanced. With structure, patience, and positive reinforcement, this little Maltipoo will blossom into the most devoted companion you could ask for. He just needs someone who can lovingly remind him that he doesn’t have to run the household — he just has to be adored in it. Ready to meet your pint-sized protector? March 17, 2026, 7:02 pm

Story

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

Our Adoption Process:Muttsinneed.org/adoption-process Meet Kevin! A 3 year old Maltese mix weighing about 10 pounds. He has the face only a mother would love with his intense underbite. This little dude has a big personality and hanging out with him is anything but boring. He is curious, silly, dog-friendly, people-friendly and hasn’t had a treat he didn’t love. The way to his heart is through his stomach.

He’s eager to find his forever home where he can share his playful spirit and affection. To meet Kevin, apply here: https://www.muttsinneed.org/adoption-application.html May 9, 2026, 12:31 am

Click Here to Sponsor Me! Adoption APPLICATION: Muttsinneed.org/adoption-application ** Application must be completed prior to a meet & greet. Our Adoption Process:Muttsinneed.org/adoption-process Meet Archie von Marshmellow! Archie von Marshmellow is a lovable 22-pound Maltese mix, around 3 years old, with a personality as soft and sweet as his name suggests. Found as a stray with no one coming forward to claim him, Archie has kept his spirits high and his tail wagging. He’s a true happy-go-lucky boy who takes life as it comes—whether that’s enjoying a stroll, soaking up attention, or just lounging nearby like the perfect little companion. Archie is a little on the fluffy side right now and would benefit from a healthy routine with regular walks and balanced meals—but he’s more than ready to take that on with his future family by his side. Easygoing, affectionate, and always down to be near his people, Archie brings a light, joyful energy into any home. To meet Ariche, please fill out an adoption application HERE: https://www.muttsinneed.org/adoption-application.htmlMay 9, 2026, 12:31 am
