Story
We bought Pixie from a breeder. She's an amazing dog and we love her very much. There is absolutely nothing wrong with her, but there has just been a medical diagnoses in the family, and we can't keep Pixie because we need to attend to the medical needs at this time. She's extremely sweet. She is currently eating Nulo grain free Salmon, needs a high fiber diet. She is pad trained, and has not had an accident since we've had her which has been about 2 and a half weeks. She will come with the rest of her food, her favorite toys, her collar, her leash, her harness, etc.

Story
Meet Lillian   Lillian is a darling Maltese girl weighing in at a perfectly portable 14 pounds and estimated to be between 2 to 4 years old. She is as cute as they come — the kind of dog that makes strangers smile and friends immediately ask, “Can I hold her?” This sweet girl is wonderful with other dogs and cats and would do great in a home with canine pals or as your one-and-only spoiled princess. Lillian’s true superpower, though? Snuggling. She’s a professional cuddle companion who loves being close to her people, whether that means curling up on the couch, warming your lap, or following you from room to room like your tiny, fluffy shadow. Gentle, affectionate, and endlessly lovable, Lillian is ready to bring comfort, companionship, and a whole lot of cuteness into her forever home. If you’re looking for a loyal little best friend with a soft coat and an even softer heart, Lillian might just be your girl. If you would like to adopt please apply at https://www.circle2rescue.com/dog-adoption-application/  The adoption fee of $700 includes the spay/neuter, vaccinations, deworming and microchip.   ##2626676##

Story
Arden is a 4-year-old Maltese weighing just 9 pounds, and he’s looking for a calm, understanding home where he can continue learning that the world is a safe place. Arden does best with another confident dog in the home, as having a canine buddy helps him feel secure and take cues from their confidence. He truly loves other dogs and enjoys their companionship. Arden is a little nervous about being held and is still learning to trust being handled, so he will need a patient adopter who is willing to move at his pace and focus on building trust gently and consistently. The good news is that Arden is very food motivated, which makes positive reinforcement training a great way to help him gain confidence. Once Arden gets to know you, his sweet personality starts to shine through. He’s a gentle, loving boy who wants to connect—he just needs time, kindness, and understanding to get there. With patience, another friendly dog, and lots of encouragement, Arden will make a loyal and rewarding companion for the right home. ------ Before being rescued, many of our dogs had limited socialization, so they may need some time to adjust to life as a family pet. Older kids are often a great fit for our dogs, and homes with younger children will be considered based on each dog’s individual needs. Skills like house training and leash walking may take a little extra patience and practice. However, with understanding and a gentle hand, most of these dogs adapt quite quickly. Being a part of their rehabilitation is a truly rewarding experience. To learn more about mill dogs and start the adoption process, visit our website!

Story
Midnight Kiss is a sweet and playful boy with a gentle heart. He may take a little time to warm up, but once he does, he turns into a total lovebug who adores sitting in your lap and soaking up attention. He enjoys playtime and has a fun, happy personality, balanced by a calm, cuddly side that makes him a wonderful companion. Midnight Kiss would thrive in a loving home that gives him patience, affection, and plenty of cozy moments to snuggle close.

Story
Hercules is a 10lbs spunky and tender dog. He loves to play, excels at fetch and would do well to be working some kind of job (even if it’s following someone around the house, or doing yard work with his owner). He is very smart and understands a tremendous amount of words and signals, but struggles to listen when he gets scared. He is very expressive and will be your best friend. He is fiercely loyal and so much fun, but he is strong-willed and has a temper and can bite. He is brave but also a scared-y cat, and needs a parent who will make him feel safe. He is an alpha male with other dogs but will follow the human pack leader. He would do well to be in a family where someone can be with him for most of the day and be active with him. He doesn’t have any health issues and we just had his teeth cleaned in November. I developed health issues which makes it hard for me to take care of Hercules. He deserves to live his best life with his perfect family.

Story
Peppermint Patty is one year old and weighs 11 pounds. She is a sweet and friendly girl who is ready to be your new best friend. She walks well on leash and loves every bit of attention she can get from her humans. A true cuddle bug at heart, she thrives on affection and enjoys spending quality time snuggled up with her favorite people. While Peppermint Patty does get along with other dogs, she prefers companions with a calmer energy that matches her own laid-back personality. She would do best in a quiet, peaceful home where someone is around to give her the love and attention she deserves. If you’re looking for a loving, affectionate companion who adores snuggles and gentle walks, Peppermint Patty could be the perfect addition to your family. ------ Before being rescued, many of our dogs had limited socialization, so they may need some time to adjust to life as a family pet.
