Ivy is a very friendly young girl. She has an easy-going temperament and gets along with all her puppy dog friends. We believe Ivy is part Maltese because she is silky soft. She enjoys people the most and absolutely loves belly rubs!

Story
How this pet arrived: Ojay was brought in by our Humane Law Enforcement team on February 23, 2026. Why this pet is the one for you:Say hello to Ojay! Ojay is a gentle, thoughtful pup whose sweet personality is starting to blossom a little more every day. He can be a bit shy when meeting new people, but with a little time and patience, his charm really begins to shine through. Once he feels safe and comfortable, you'll start to see just how special this sensitive boy is. Ojay will thrive in a calm home where he can settle in at his own pace and build confidence. Having a laidback canine companion to show him the ropes may help him adjust and feel safe. A quieter household will suit him best, somewhere with a steady routine and not too much hustle and bustle. If there are kids in the home, they should be 12 or older and join a meet-and-greet so Ojay can make sure everyone passes the vibe check. Ojay is still learning some of the basics, including leash walking, but he's eager to keep learning with someone who will cheer him on along the way. With patience and encouragement, Ojay will continue to grow and show just how sweet and special he truly is. Come meet him today! At SDHS:Ojay has been vaccinated, microchipped and neutered. He is now ready for his new home! Shy/Fearful Dog: Ojay requires a virtual behavior consult, please watch THIS video to learn more about him. Primary Color: White Weight: 10.2 Age: 5yrs 3mths 1wks

Was my roommate's dog. She recently passed away. I'm moving to florida by the end of the month. He needs a new home. She got him from Melrose vet several years ago when the vet had to give him up or put him down. Original owners weren't nice to him. Don't have a photo right now.

Story
🌸 Sweet, shy little Maltese looking for a calm and loving home. This gentle 20-lb Maltese girl , Libby she is one of the sweetest souls you could meet. She is spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped, and she has a very calm and peaceful nature. She is extremely shy at first and will need a patient adopter who understands sensitive dogs and will give her the time she needs to feel safe. Once she feels comfortable, she is incredibly sweet and loving. Her ideal home would be a quiet house with a yard, preferably with another kind and confident dog who can help show her that the world is safe and help build her confidence. Because she is so shy, a calm household is very important. A home with adults only or older, quiet children would be best. She would do wonderfully with someone retired or someone who works from home and can provide a peaceful environment. This little girl doesn’t ask for much — just patience, kindness, and a gentle heart. In return, she will become a deeply loyal and loving companion. If you believe you could give this special girl the calm, safe home she deserves, please reach out to learn more. 💗 if interested go to www.arrfsandiego.org and fill out the adoption application for her
