Story
      &#226&#156&#168 Meet Boq Wicked — 6 lbs of tiny, determined heart &#226&#156&#168 Available for Adoption through Umbrella of Hope Boq Wicked is a 9-year-old, 6-pound Maltese mix with a soft black and white coat, a gentle spirit, and a lifetime of stories behind his cloudy eyes. He may be small, but this little gentleman has preferences, routines, and a quirky charm that make him unforgettable to those lucky enough to earn his trust. His Personality Boq is happiest when the world is quiet, steady, and predictable. His absolute favorite part of the day? His walks. He walks beautifully on leash and will trot right alongside you like the world’s tiniest hiking buddy. He gets along well with other dogs, but people are a different story — Boq needs time, patience, and a calm approach before he feels safe with new humans. Once he trusts you, he’s sweet, affectionate in his own gentle way, and very food-motivated. (Blueberries, watermelon, and chicken? Yes, please.) Because Boq is deaf and has limited vision, he can be reactive if startled. He’s not recommended for a home with small children. His perfect match is someone experienced with shy or special-needs pups — someone who recognizes that progress may be slow… but absolutely worth it. Daily Life with Boq • Not fully housebroken, but does well if taken outside regularly • Doesn’t enjoy crates, carriers, or car rides • Likes to explore, sniff, and take in the world on his walks • Occasionally plays with small toys (when the mood strikes) Boq isn’t a turnkey dog — he’s a relationship dog. He needs someone who sees beyond first impressions and understands the quiet magic of earning the trust of a fearful pup. In return, you’ll get loyalty, routine, companionship, and the joy of being his safe place. If you’re patient, compassionate, and looking for a small senior buddy who just needs someone to believe in him, Boq Wicked might be your perfect match. Interested in adopting this little wizard of a dog?

Story
I am in a foster home and not at the shelter. If you are interested in adopting, submit an adoption questionnaire by email. Learn more hereScamp is an affectionate introvert searching for a loving home where he can build a true bond with his person. This precious 1-year-old, 12-pound Maltese mix enjoys running, playing catch with his tennis balls, and doing happy wiggles in his doggie bed. His absolute favorite thing is snuggling on the lap of someone he trusts. In is foster home, Scamp is well behaved, quietly napping or playing with his chew toys while you work. He is crate trained, sleeps through the night, and can be crated for short periods during the day after a proper bathroom break. Timid and sensitive by nature, he can be overwhelmed by new things, but he warms up with time, repetition, and gentle reassurance. Scamp would thrive in a quiet home with an experienced adopter, ideally one who has another small dog to help him feel secure. With patience and understanding, Scamp will show his gentle, cuddly, playful side and become a devoted companion. Click here to learn how to adopt and submit your adoption questionnaire.December 4, 2025, 3:29 pm

Story
Rococo is an adorable, tan-colored, silky soft Maltese mix who shares similar ambitions in live to a baked potato; all this sweet senior gentleman wants to do is sun himself in a warm, cozy bed for his whole retirement. We can verify that he will pop up for treats or a quick jaunt around the block, but overall Rococo takes life in slow-mo, he’s unhurried, unbothered, and too old to get involved in negativity – it’s always sunny for this positive pup! This marvelous mutt will make an excellent companion for your next Netflix binge or party pal for your next nap, so if you’re looking for a little baked potato of your own, Rococo is the mutt for you!
