Story
Daisy is a lovable little Maltese female puppy, about 4.5 months old and just around 10 pounds. This sweet girl is full of puppy happiness! Daisy loves running zoomies around the yard and then following her foster mom around, curiously investigating everything happening around her. She has such a wonderful, happy personality and is loving, gentle, playful, and affectionate. Daisy is the kind of little girl who will bring smiles, laughter, and lots of love to her forever family. She is ready to find someone who will love her and give her the wonderful life she deserves. Puppy shots are up to date and Microchipped. Spay Agreement: Daisy is not yet old enough to be spayed. Her adopter will be required to sign a spay agreement and have her spayed after she reaches 6 months of age. Adoption Donation: $475 Daisy's adoption donation helps cover her medical care and also helps provide medical care, food, and support for the other dogs in our rescue. Every adoption helps us save another dog in need. Daisy is being fostered in Hesperia, CA and must be met there. Please email Alphadogpetrescue@yahoo.com to request our adoption application.

Story
How this pet arrived:Archer was brought in by a community member on 9/2/26. Why this pet is the one for you:Say hello to handsome Archer. Archer has displayed fearful behavior and handling sensitivity both in care and in his previous home. While he warms up over time and allows more physical contact as trust builds, unfamiliar handlers, veterinary visits, and grooming can trigger discomfort. His previous owners also noted he may bark when left home alone, so adopters can consult a veterinarian for support with any separation-related anxiety. Archer has a positive history with other dogs, no known history with cats, and needs a calm setting without the hustle and bustle of young children. Archer will do best in a patient environment that lets him move at his own pace-letting him approach on his terms, using gentle underhand petting, and performing regular consent checks. To support his handling sensitivity early on, adopters should use a Martingale collar and a drag leash, which is a lightweight line left trailing behind him so you can gently guide or redirect him without reaching into his space or grabbing his collar. When seeking outside care, partnering with a Fear Free veterinarian and groomer will keep his medical and grooming experiences predictable, safe, and low-stress. Shy/Fearful Dog: Archer requires a virtual behavior consult, please watch THIS video to learn more about them. Primary Color: White Secondary Color: Beige Weight: 17.4 Age: 5yrs 1mths 0wks
